Slavic Christians Reigning in God's Kingdom

Dear Slavic Christian, 

Doubting God’s Word about your value in Him keeps your body, mind, and spirit from thriving in the Father’s love. You say you’re “saved “ but are oppressed by an orphan spirit. 

What does all this mean? Let me give you a backstory…

God continues to guide me in a healing journey where I’m discovering His love like never before.

The facade of “false spirituality” is crashing down hard. I thought I could read the Bible when I felt like it, pray just before meals or when I was “filled with the Holy Spirit,” and worship when the mood was right, but this sounds more like legalism than an intimate relationship between two lovers, God and Me. 

A little backstory: I was born into a “Christian” family and went to church my whole life. I even performed on stage from the age of 5 to 27, but I never knew the grace of Father God like He’s unveiling now.

My parents didn’t talk about grace and didn’t model unconditional love or integrity behind closed doors at home.

I didn’t realize that the strongholds I absorbed through these dynamics would wound my soul for decades.

Through these experiences, I unconsciously projected fear of abandonment, rejection, loneliness, and a lack of belonging from past experiences through the perceived lack of love and support from my earthly parents onto those around me.

This tainted my view of God’s love and others. I expected them to give me what I wasn’t given. 

I doubted my worth and even ran from God because that seemed easier than being rejected by Him, too.

Thankfully, amidst this emotional chaos, God had a bigger plan. The plan started thousands of years ago when God had me and you on His mind before He created the world.

In that plan, He knew that we would sin and reject His love in the garden of Eden, and the only way to get us back from satans grasp was to send His son to die on the cross for our sins.

This is where my hope of healing and restoration is found, and the same can happen to you.

No matter the pain we’ve experienced in our lives, His story of love is just getting started.

His death on the cross said, “You’re mine for good! I took your trauma, rejection, and insecurities-it is finished. You can reign as a child in my Kingdom on Earth.”

In order to thrive, His love must be my ultimate security. I must daily look to the cross for His love instead of looking to my past for my worth. That is the only way to replace the strongholds of feeling like an orphan with the truth about my identity in Christ.I must read Scripture to learn more about my inheritance and how to reign as a princess instead of reading it to check it off my list of daily to-dos. 

Dear one, I want to encourage you to do the same.

If you have no idea how to start thriving in your new identity in Christ as His child instead of an orphan surviving like a beggar outside the walls of the King’s palace. 

Please reach out to me, and I will guide you along this journey with the help of the Holy Spirit. I will help you discover freedom and love like He’s given me.
