Our God is a God of Action


God's love for you is not distant or passive; it is close and active inside you.  Working from within, it transforms you so you can receive His blessings.  Through what He sis on the cross, what He speaks to you from the Bible, and what He does, you have His authority and power to have a good life and be well.  God does not take over and rule your life; instead, He enters you, lifts you u, and shows you what you can do to become well, to have the promised abundant life.

The devil subjects humans to the slavery of depression, fear, loss, rejection etc.  God does not make you a slave to Him;  he does not overwhelm you.  He comes alongside and teaches you what to do, strengthens and heals you and makes you you through Himself.  He gives you reign of your life with him.  In order to be you (a person with free will), you act with Him of your own free will.  God sets you free.  It is God who empowers you to take what He has for you.
