Week 10

Week 10’s lecture was on “Passion for God and The Heart of our Father”. These classes were taught by Jeff Pratt, a Connecticut native YWAMer. Throughout the week we studied (of course) our God the Father’s heart, His Passion for us, and how we can obtain a passion for Him. It is extremely important to know His love for us is unconditional. “There is only one being that can satisfy the aching abyss of the human heart.” C.S. Lewis. The best thing is that He is the only thing that can fill the void and even the times we don’t feel like worshiping, He’s still right there with us through it all. In 2 Timothy 2:13 it says “if we are faithless, He will remain faithful”. Never leaving or forsaking us is not a concept that we readily accept. More and more there seem to be broken homes, bad school experiences, and even hatred from the church that scar our hearts for life. Forgiveness isn’t the choice not to hurt and doesn’t necessarily mean you have to trust the wrong doer again. “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you”. 1 Peter 5:7 Ok through inner healing most of us confess what is ailing us and have repented taking responsibility for our actions but what most have trouble with is receiving from God all of your needs. We must not dwell in self-pity because this continues to look at our own needs and remaining the victim robs the love of God. All these were wrapped up with time of prayer for each other willingness to open up with one another in needs.
