Healing – Finding Total Recovery in the Words of Christ, "It is Finished!"

“I tell you these things in the dark, but I want you to tell them in the light. I speak these things only to you, but you should tell them to everyone.”

(Matthew 10:27)

Jesus was the spokesperson and physical representation of the Father. He spent his time on earth, healing the sick, connecting with the disenfranchised, and dispelling harsh misrepresentations of God which had been made by religious leaders.

As the human form of God, Jesus showed us the true character of the Father. He did not seek to control people with fear or threats. He drew them into a new mindset of freedom, based on love and total acceptance. This was the true representation of the Father.

Jesus’ connection with the ‘undesirables’ of the day made him an outcast of organized religion. In an ironic twist, God in human form, was ejected from religion, while finding acceptance amongst the ‘ungodly’.

As Jesus was the spokesman for the Father, you are called to be the voice of Christ to some of God’s fearful children who don’t seem to be able to hear Him for themselves.

There are specific souls He has in mind for you to help. Due to your own life experiences and unique personality traits, your destiny is designed to connect with those struggling to find their way home. Due to repeated attacks by the forces of darkness, these fearful ones are deeply damaged and sadly misguided.

As a representative of redemption, you find that the chosen ones are typically the most broken ones.

Your ability to connect with disoriented people in a logical and non-judgmental approach makes you the ideal candidate to bring the hope of wholeness to those who are broken.

Finding Strength in Patience: A Guide to Resilience

September 10, 2026September 4, 2026 lastwordrecovery

Patience tells us that tests are only temporary. Patience tells us that God is doing a good work in us, and He will complete it. Patience tells us not to judge our walk by one random stumble. Patience keeps us steady as we wait for the storm to pass.

It is patience that we lack when we throw up our hands and give up. It is patience that we lack when we question our progress.

Patience will get us to the finish line. Patience will help us be gentle with ourselves.

Finding God in Silence: Embracing Spiritual Tests

September 8, 2026September 2, 2026 lastwordrecovery

Weary adventurer slumped at tavern table holding an empty tankard

Previously, these difficult times had been dark and made us doubt our relationship with God. We were frustrated to find Him so distant when we needed Him the most.

However, when we begin to view these events as a process which increases our patience and equips us for the next level, we start to see their value. We no longer need to feel frustrated when God goes silent. A good teacher is always silent during a test.

Thanks to the book of James (and our brother by the same name who shared this passage with us), we are learning to identify our spiritually ‘blah’ times as simple tests. These tests are challenging and exhausting, but they mark the completion of one level which advances us to the next.

It’s Not a Red Flag: Understanding Spiritual Tests

September 6, 2026September 1, 2026 lastwordrecovery

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

James 1:2-4

****This is a Test. This is Only a Test.****

The times when we feel spiritually depleted or disinterested are not red flags for us to fret over. They are simply tests. The temporary times when we lack inspiration or get caught up in life’s drama have no bearing on our position in Christ or our commitment to His work.

We have come to understand that the testing of our faith can never happen during good times when inspiration flows freely, we are highly motivated, and praise songs play on a loop in our heads. Times of high spiritual energy and passion are thrilling, but they can’t do the work of generating patience. Only the testing of our faith can do that.

From Mountains to Deserts: Navigating Life’s Journey

Hiker trekking above winding roads in a lush mountain valley

We love the mountaintops and the flowery meadows, but we must face the fact that dry deserts and muddy bogs are also part of the expedition. We must make peace with both if we want to get where we are going.

When the roads are easy, we feel joy in looking back to see how far we’ve come. When the roads are difficult, we seem to take one step forward, two steps back. Sometimes we slip and fall. Sometimes we just stand still and shrug. Even when we do finally get on firm footing again and start to move forward, we scold ourselves for not being stronger, more resilient, or more determined.

We aren’t sure what to call these moments of uncertainty. The term ‘backsliding’ is way too harsh. The last thing we need is to feel more isolated and cut off from God than we already do.

Journey to Spiritual Fulfillment: Acknowledge the Struggles

September 4, 2026September 1, 2026 lastwordrecovery

As we release our addictions with the words of Jesus, “It is finished!” and settle comfortably into our new normal, we feel gratitude beyond words. The dysfunctions we struggled with in the past are fading in the distance. We are on firm footing and making solid progress.

Sometimes we make really good progress and are pleased with the distance we cover in such a short time. We feel that our relationship with God is in great shape, and we are motivated by our sense of accomplishment.

At other times, however, we feel as if we were trudging through mud, putting one foot in front of the other, lacking any drive or inspiration. We feel inadequate, overwhelmed, and disinterested. During these times, we don’t feel so great about our relationship with God. We assume He is disappointed with our lack of energy and enthusiasm.
