Transformed

What can you do to really start trusting God with every area of your life?

When I was asked that question I honestly had no answer.  I was stuck.  My first thought was, I’m “doing” all the Christian things, like having quiet time in the mornings, going to church, volunteering on prayer team, praying with and for my coaching clients.  Shouldn’t that be enough to trusting God with my life?

Nope!

To be completely honest with you, I only trust God with parts of my life, not with my entire life….ugh!  After being convicted about this and wondering what in the world can I do differently to hand my life completely over to God with 100% trust, the perfect scripture was revealed to me immediately.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Romans 12:2

That was it!  That’s the answer!  Change the way we think.  Stop looking at life from the world’s perspective; instead be transformed by God’s perspective.  So you might ask, how can I start looking at life through the lens of Christ?  I have one simple answer, eat, drink, and sleep the living word of God.  Every time we catch a fleeting thought that is not in alignment with the truth, seek God’s word.  The bible is holy, sacred, powerful, life changing.  The bible can provide the answers to life’s most difficult questions.

However, it takes effort on our part to stop allowing our minds to wander and believe every thought that pops in.  I recently started taking screen shot pictures on my iPhone of bible verses and every time I catch myself thinking a negative thought, I just tap on my photos and I have scriptures available.  It is crucial that we make scripture a necessity for every part of our life.

Embarrassing Confession

Welcome to CA…Controllers Anonymous.  Hi, my name is Linda Kuhar and I am a control freak!  While you may be chuckling at my cute little comment, I need to confess to you that because of my insane controlling nature of 38 years, this week it has actually brought me to my knees in desperation asking God, “Do you REALLY exist?  Because God if you are really REAL than why do I struggle today with the exact same issues I had 10 years ago, 15 years ago, heck even 20 years ago?  If you’re real, than why haven’t you removed the pains of insecurity and fear I have buried so deep inside me?”

And in one simple answer He spoke….”Control, you haven’t give me control over your life.”

Well, in my typical controlling fashion I would usually explain to God why I haven’t given everything to Him and try to manipulate God by convincing Him (really myself) that I am the way I am because ultimately He is the one that created me, right?  Well, this time my scheming and conniving ways did not even rear it’s ugly head.  Instead, I was at the darkest place of desperation and brokenness that all I could do was say ok God.  You are exactly right.  I have been afraid to give you control over my life because fear and insecurity have been such a source of comfort and refuge for me, but today I give up, I quit!  I cannot do this control thing any more.  I have no strength left in me to fight!

I quit trying to control those I love so dearly, my husband and child, my business/ministry that you called me to and even..are you ready for this my friends?  I give up control over my healing from cancer and coma.  Yes, it’s true.  I’m confessing to you that I’ve struggled all this time truly believing that I was miraculously healed.  I’m completely embarrassed and feel like such a hypocrite as I write these words.  But the truth is I’ve tried to convince myself that I was healed from H1N1 (the swine flu) and not a reaction from the chemotherapy drugs because logically my lungs would have never completely healed if it was the chemo that my body had the reaction to.

Long story short is, it does not matter what God healed me from, He miraculously healed me and today I can honestly say I believe that because I have Let. It. Go. by giving up control.

Friends, are you living a life of control?  Or are you really letting God control your life?  I’m currently participating in Melissa Taylor’s Online Bible Study and we are studying  Let. It. Go. by Karen Ehman.  If you want to know how to stop running the show and start walking in faith, living a life free from control, I recommend reading her book today.  As you can see I personally have already experienced some life changing transformation and would love for you to join me.  Leave a commit today if you are living a life of control and are ready Let. It. Go.

Are YOU Living Fully Alive?

My one question?  

Last week I had the honor of meeting and hearing the incredibly talented best-selling author, frequent radio and television guest, and one of the country’s most sought after inspirational and motivational speakers Ken Davis.  He spoke on his book Fully Alive, A Journey that Will Change Your Life.  As I sat in the audience in awe of his story, tears flooded my face.  I encountered a life changing moment that evening.  I finally understood why it is so important for everyone to share his or her life stories.  The stories of what God has or is accomplishing in our lives.

While Ken was speaking, the Holy Spirit spoke precisely to me, as well as to so many others in the audience.  Something transpires when we hear what God has done in a life; a unique message is tailored to our soul.  And once a message penetrates the heart, everything can change in a blink of an eye.  For me personally, listening to Ken’s story gave me two very specific reasons for why I am still alive today.  One is to actually live life Fully Alive!!.…Embrace life, love life, and experience life!  Another reason why I’m still here today is to know God’s love by sharing and receiving it with others every single day!

Here’s something Ken wrote in his book Fully Alive that I absolutely love!  “Beyond friendship, beyond physical health, life itself depends on being loved and giving love.  Those who do not know this vital connection do not know life.  They are hollow shells of existence waiting to experience the real essence of living fully alive.”

How are you living your life?  Are you just going through the motions or are you really living Fully Alive?  If you’re ready to change your life or you need motivation, I highly recommend reading Fully Alive (click here) because it is a journey that will change your life!  Leave a comment today on what living Fully Alive means to you.
