From Toxic Christianity to Healthy Church ✝ #shorts

I once heard that part of a therapist's job is to model what healthy behavior looks like to their clients. For what it's worth, I escaped from a cult in 1993. I wanted nothing to do with church, Christians, or anyone religious. Now, I have been a member of a healthy church for the past 16 years.

Sometimes, we lament that our life has gone off course. We ask, "Why did this have to happen to me?" But consider the possibility that God is the one who changed your life's direction. Being in a cult is what ultimately led me to becoming a therapist working with victims of psychological abuse. Had that never happened, I wouldn't be living the life I'm living today.

Here is my dream interpretation/prophetic word from this past Sunday, June 12. I hope it encourages you!

Ecclesiastes 7:
10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance,
an advantage to those who see the sun.
12 For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money,
and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to the one who possesses it.
13 Consider the work of God;
who can make straight what he has made crooked?

Prophetic Word:
I believe the Lord would say, "There are things you do not know, things which remain hidden and in secret. But I say to you that even without knowledge of all things you may still possess wisdom by trusting in me. There are things that have taken a turn in your life, and you lament the fact that you cannot make those things straight. But I say to you, consider the fact that I am the one who has made those things crooked. I have changed course, I have set your feet in the direction which I want you to go. Therefore, proceed forward with confidence, knowing that I am the one who lights your path."
