- A Perfect Father (9/12/2011)
Kathleen continues her talk on original sin and how much God loves us. After God made a perfect world and created perfect humans to live in it, they chose to disbelieve God and thus disobey God and their eyes were opened to good and evil. Because of their disobedience corruption entered their bodies, souls and spirits and everything God created.
Immediately, God The Father wanted to forgive His children. And He knew that it would take a SACRIFICE of Himself. Real forgiveness always a sacrifice.

Feed your spirit with Word or soul takes over. We must allow the Word to sanctify us.
- From the Prison To the Palace
God has a plan. Joseph was punished for doing the right thing. God doesn't say, "awww, limp along now." He says, "Forgive!" Things meant to destroy you will be used by God. Stumbling blocks can be stepping stones. Don't hoard your gifts because you've been hurt. Say to God, "Use me!
- Listen To The Spirit and Not To Yourself (2 of 6)
Feed your spirit by not having the last word. Listen to the Spirit and not your soul. Romans 8:5 - a mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. Know the Truth/Word/Jesus - it WILL set you free! Feelings don't line up? Err on the side of the Spirit.
- Love Keeps No Record Of Wrongs (3 of 3)
God does not want things in our lives to be stumbling blocks; He wants them to be stepping stones. We can choose to walk upon things to get to a higher place or we can trip on them. It is our choice. He will do a NEW thing in us if we live in today and do not dwell on yesterday. If we turn to God, He can help us forgive . Love is a free choice. We need the Word of God to change us. Perfect love drives out all fear and hope does not disappoint us. This talk aired on January 16 & 17, 2010 and is part 3 of a 3 part series.
- Love Keeps No Record Of Wrongs (part 2 of 3)
God will remember our sins no more. We are not the black sheep of the Christian family. When He looks at us, He sees us as purified by the blood of Jesus. He is not keeping score. We should be an iimitator of Jesus. Walk in love the way Jesus loves us. Do and think as God does. We can only do this with the help of the Holy Spirit. The biggest thing is to not keep a record of wrongs. We need to get rid of those things that God tells us to get rid of. God calls us to a life of freedom, not one where we are always collecting debts. God's forgiveness is His biggest demonstration of love. We should do likewise. Forgive others like we want to be forgiven. We may need to be honest with God and ask Him for help in putting a hurt away. Forgiveness brings life and frees us from the law of sin and death. Unforgiveness can mean death of relationships, of creativity, and even death to our body. We need to put aside any excuses we have for unforgiveness and ask God to cleanse our thoughts and hearts.
