BELIEVING BROKENNESS Episode 8 THE BROKENNESS - Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual CONDITION

LIFE AMONG THE ASHES The Paths that we oft’ travel  are full of loss and pain  The Hearts of all the Broken  cry tears that fall like rain It seems we are surrounded   by Death at every door  And Hope beyond the turmoil  is what we’re searching for Lost, with no direction  isolated by our pain  we hide within our Loneliness  and feed our sense of Shame Desperate in our Darkness  we search for meaning there  We feel Anger and Confusion  How could a Good God care? How can we find rejoicing  amidst these trials of grief?  How do we mend our Brokenness?  When will we find relief? When finally we reach our end  and look to find the Light  God’s beams of Love pour down on us   and hold us in our Fight Bridges of Compassion   reaching over thorny trails  bring comfort to our empty souls  His Hands first bore the nails Our Grief He took upon Himself  our Sin and Sickness too   He took our Shame upon the Cross  He carried these for you Life among the Ashes  begins with just one Breath  A gift from our Creator  Overcoming Death! For in this Breath, this moment  we are given Life and Choice  Our Suffering and Sorrow will never steal our Voice Compassion for the Hurting  is the Prize we will receive  And Passion with a Purpose  to help Rescue those in need BELIEVING BROKENNESS Episode 8 THE BROKENNESS - Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual CONDITION We live in a world of Brokenness. Broken Relationships, Broken Lives, and Broken Hearts all have affected our ability to experience God’s LOVE in the midst of our own Suffering circumstances. We are Spiritually Blind. We are Living The Broken. We are Believing Brokenness. We Believe it with our whole Heart. It is all we KNOW. It is WHO we are. It is who we have BECOME. Our Brokenness defines us. It is our Story. It is our History. Our Brokenness becomes who we define ourselves to BE. It is what we have overcome; the Battles we have fought, the Battles we have been bruised, or beaten by. The Battles we still bear. It is the secret Scar that is never shared, but is always present. It is the failures of our Past, the furious fight for our Future. It is the Giant Goliath we meet in the mirror every morning, and yet we see it as ourselves. We know nothing apart from it. We are the Brokenness we Believe in our Heart. It is the Pain that pushes us forward on a path to restitution, or to resolution. It becomes our Identity, Righteous or not. We are Believing Brokenness. We own it. And yet, we can have Victory over it. The Sufferings we suffer, become the Brokenness we Believe. We live, and Breathe, the Battles we fight. They are the passion of our Purpose. We live within an Abusive place, stealing our face, stealing our Voice. We live within an Invisible War, against the Traumas we have survived in silence. We live within the symptoms of a Sickness. We deal daily with a diagnosis of a Disorder, or a Disease. We are defined by our own survival. We are Survivors. We are Warriors. Yet, we are weary of the War. The War becomes the weapon we are crushed under. We live within the sufferings of a Broken Body, or a broken Bone, isolated, and battling the fight all alone. Waiting for recovery, and trapped in a place of Brokenness, often leading to Hopelessness. Crushed by the crushing. We live, and Breathe, and Believe Brokenness. We have not understood the Spiritual Reality of the Brokenness we believe, nor have we known how to be beyond it. Therefore, as a Broken Body of Believers, we BECOME what we Believe. We stop Believing the Beautiful. We stop Believing in the Word of God. We stop believing in the Healing Heart of Heaven. And we hold Hatred in our Hearts . We stop Believing the Beautiful, and we begin Believing Brokenness. We believe the Brokenness because we have lived the Brokenness. We BECOME what we Believe. We ARE what we Believe in our Hearts. “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he…” “As a woman thinketh in her heart, so is she.” Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) We have become Spiritually Sick Soldiers. We have become Weary & Wounded Warriors. We have become Physically Broken Believers. We have become the Broken Body of Christ. We have BECOME what we BELIEVE in our Hearts. We are hoping for our Healing, and yet we are not Healed. We are left hopeless in our Hearts. We are weary in well doing, because we are bearing the Burden of the Broken, and yet WE ARE The Broken. We are Believing Brokenness. We have not understood the Spiritual Reality of our Brokenness. Therefore, we have not been Healed Emotionally. We have not been Healed Physically. We have not been Healed Spiritually. We are Bound by it again, and again, and again. Trapped within the Bondage of our own symptoms. Suffering, and hating ourselves in our Hearts. Suffering, and hating God in our Hearts. Suffering, and separating ourselves from the LOVE of God, from the LOVE we so desperately desire. We are suffering from Spiritual Blindness. We have not understood the Spiritual Reality of our Healing, even as Faithful Followers of Christ, therefore we are prayed for, and yet we are not Healed. We are anointed with oil, and yet we are not Healed. My Beautiful, beloved Pastors, Preachers, Ministers, and Teachers, in the Body of Christ, have not understood Spiritual Issues of the Heart, or Biblical Principles of Healing. They have not been taught. They have not Believed. They have not sought. They have not Received. There are so many Beautiful Believers who are dying in their Disease. There are so many who are Living Broken in the Body of Christ who have left the Church. Hurt, disillusioned, disappointed, and Unbelieving. All because of a lack of understanding concerning HEALING within the Broken body of Christ. They have put their Hope in Man, rather than in God. They have put their Hope in Man’s Wisdom, rather than in GOD’S WORD. All HEALING is Spiritual first. All LIFE begins and ends with God, therefore, all Healing begins and ends with God. This means ALL HEALING begins the same because Healing begins in the Heart. The Brokenness of our Hearts, the Brokenness of our Physical Bodies, and the Brokenness of the Spiritual Body of Christ, are all a result of own, and individual Brokenness. They all are the result of our own, and individual Spiritual Health. We are Believing Brokenness. Our Brokenness is our truest reality in our Physical realm. Our Physical senses tell us this. Our Physical symptoms tell us this. Our Physical circumstances tell us this. Our Psychological screenings tell us this. Our Doctor’s Diagnoses tell us this. Our X-Rays tell us this. We are Broken, Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually. We have become the Brokenness we Believe in our Hearts. We Believe it. We Agree with it. We Receive it. And we are ONE with it. And the Deceiver whispers his lies in your ear…”You are Broken! Look at yourself! You will never Be Beautiful! You will never be truly Accepted! You will never be truly LOVED!” And you listen to the lies of Temptation, of Accusation, and of Rejection, and you believe his words over the Words of God, your beloved Crafter and Creator, who says, “You are My Beautiful Believer!” You have become the Brokenness you Believe. As a devious Dart of the Enemy, pierces and penetrates the Heart, and has stolen what was rightfully yours: Love, Joy, Truth, Honor, Respect, Honesty, Purity, Beauty, Riches and Glory, Peace, Purpose, and Protection. LIFE. He stole LIFE. He stole the Unity, and Wholeness of Being ONE with Us, in Spirit, in Mind, and in Body. My intended Purpose. ONE with LOVE itself. Instead you have become ONE with Sin. ONE with Sickness and Disease. ONE with Death. ONE with that which Separates you from Me. You have listened to the lies of The Brokenness, and you have become ONE with it, in Spirit, in Mind, and in Body. It has become your First Truth. It has become your only Truth. Believing as Truth, what you can SEE rather than what you cannot SEE. Believing a LIE only leads to Death. Sin begets Sin. Brokenness begets Brokenness. LOOK with the eyes of the Spirit. LISTEN to the Love in your heart. BELIEVE in the Hope of your Calling. Believe in Me. Believe My Word. Believe the Beautiful! You are reaping the consequences of the SEED you have sewn. You are reaping the consequences of the Brokenness you have Believed. You are reaping the consequences of the very words you SPEAK, of whatever you BELIEVE, and Agree with in your heart. Romans 10:8 (KJV) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; Romans 10:8 Tree of Life (TLV) “But what does it say? The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart; that is the word of faith we are proclaiming:” Luke 6:45 (KJV) 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Mark 11:23 (KJV) 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. James 3:10 (KJV) 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Luke 4:38-39 (KJV) 38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. Romans 10:8 (TLV) “But what does it say? The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart; that is the word of faith we are proclaiming:” Psalm 34:11-14 (KJV) 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. A Season of Sorrow Sleepless nights beget me Tears are a constant friend You alone can change my course When will this Season end? Suffering now my companion Grief sustains my heart This is only the beginning Of the painful lonely part How am I Lord, to serve you? In this desperate place of mine Each day a physical struggle To take one step of this climb Body Broken and Battered By wars to Heal my heart Sanctification has marred me Crippled now from the start Wounded by an Enemy A Spiritual Battle ensues Listening to the lies of the lost I’m captured by the muse Battling scars of rejection Loneliness tears me apart Calling me to the knees my failures Only Love can heal my heart Lost in a Season of Sorrow My Brokenness calls me to You Restore the Joy of my Salvation Father, hold me until Your through

7. THE BROKENNESS DEFINED / THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION

THE BROKENNESS DEFINED Episode 7 THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION

Living Broken for Your Throne ***** Who is it I’m supposed to be? Reckless emotions mess with me Plans I planned are all of naught Nothing happened as I thought Stripped out from beneath my feet Hollowed bones need now to treat Trampled, tripped up by my own Whirling, crashing in my home In an instant rush of pain Living Broken once again Your Beauty broken in a day. Was I headed the wrong way? Was I not supposed to teach? Who am I supposed to reach? Was I to sit and not to stand? Apparently this is Your Hand. Shamed within this Brokenness. Brought back to my helplessness. New scars now mark this fragile frame. Sunken muscles. Almost lame. Lost direction. Lost my voice. Lost my witness. Lost my choice. Lost my freedom in this place. Bound by Brokenness, Hell’s embrace. Suffering silence once and still. Lost my Heart, my Hope, my Will. Submitting to Your Sovereignty. Is this, O LORD, My Destiny? There is nothing that I hold You are my Breath, my Life, my Gold You alone hold me in place Mended healed in Broken Space My Brokenness is Yours to bear. You alone can take me there. You have suffered for my pain. Make me strong to walk again. By Your stripes I am made well. Guard me from this living Hell. One day down and three steps back. Forgive me for the faith I lack. The days I bathe myself in tears Father take my pain, my hurt, my fears. And when I shelter in Your Wing Give me strength to soar again. Lift me from this Broken place Cover me with love and grace Be the balm I need to Heal Let your Beauty be revealed. Hold me when I’m all alone. Living Broken for Your Throne. I give my life to Glorify. To share Your Work and Testify. ***** THE BROKENNESS DEFINED Episode 7 THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION . The consequences of Adam and Eve’s Act of Disobedience brought with it, not only Spiritual Death, and Separation from God, but also brought with it the curses of Generational Sin, Pain, Sickness, Disease, and with it premature, or early Death, which we are ALL now suffering from on a Daily basis. We are reaping the consequences of our own Sins of Disobedience. We now live within this reality of BROKENNESS. It is a SPIRITUAL REALITY. We now live within a Spiritual Battle within our Physical realm, in which we are Spiritually reaping the Consequences of our Physical choices. Obedience and Disobedience both have Spiritual consequences. We are always given a choice. Adam and Eve were given a choice. We reap the consequences of the SEED we sow. SPIRITUAL BROKENNESS OUR NEW REALITY There are Spiritual consequences of sowing and reaping, through our own actions of Obedience or Disobedience. The Law of God has fruit. The Law of Sin has fruit. The fruit of obedience is Health…Life and Peace. The fruit of disobedience is Disease and Death. Following the Law of God produces Health. Following the Law of Satan produces Disease. We will follow one Law or the other. This is a Spiritual Truth. We bear the fruit of the Seed we sow, Good or Evil, Blessing or Cursing. God did not give us Disease! Through the consequences of following the Law of Sin, we have reaped the fruit of Disease in our lives. We are going to reap the Consequences of one kingdom or the other. We are bearing the fruit of the Seeds we have sown, and we are bearing the fruit of The Sins of our Fathers. Spiritually. Whenever we choose Death over Life, Disobedience over Obedience, we make Satan our lord in one area of our life, and we force God to withdraw from His lordship in that place. It is our Choice. God gives us free choice, and yet we each individually, reap the consequences, Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually, of the choices, we each, individually, make. I am responsible before God, for my own choices of Obedience or Disobedience. And no one else. You are responsible before God for your own choices of Obedience or Disobedience. And no one else. We have learned, our Invisible Enemy still deceives us now, through Thoughts and Impressions, or Feelings, which are Vain Imaginations. He tempts us in our Minds. He tempts us with Thoughts sounding like our own. Yet, they are not our Thoughts. These are the Temptations of evil spirits, trying to lure us into Agreement with them, and lead us to Fall into Sin. We hear them as though they are our own Thoughts, and so we are tempted to Believe them to be True. We listen to the Lies of the enemy, and we Believe them. Then, they become our Thoughts. Then, they become our Truth. And, we have fallen into Agreement with the Enemy. Romans 7:19-21 (NIV) 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. Romans 7:22-23 (NIV) 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. We have been Trained in these areas, and they have become our instant responses. We have Become THE BROKENNESS we Believe in our Hearts. We have Become ONE WITH SIN. We have become an Invisible Enemy ourselves, bearing the Fruit of the seeds we have sewn. God said, “Who told you were Naked?” “Who told you to be Afraid?” “Who told you to be Depressed?” “Who told you to be Hateful?” “Who told you to Blame, and to Accuse?” “Who told you you were Ugly?” “Who told you to Reject yourself?” “Who told you to Reject others?” Who told you? Paul said the LAW OF SIN resided in his members—his Spirit, Soul, and Body. “It is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me.” It is SIN living in me. YOU are not the problem! Just because you have been struggling with SIN in these areas of your life, does not mean you are a bad person. It just means you have been Trained in the LAW OF SIN, and you think it is you, but it’s NOT. It is a Spiritual Battle. It is another Law, waging War against the Law of God in your Mind. It is the LAW OF SIN. Adam and Eve’s thoughts were not their own. Paul had thoughts that were not his own. It is the LAW OF SIN at work within. They were TEMPTATIONS. These thoughts you struggle with, these thoughts you wrestle with, these thoughts you are tempted with, are not you! They are NOT you. They are Evil Temptations, from Evil spirits, manifesting their Evil Nature, in your thoughts, and in your imaginations. REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW The Curse of the Snake, of the Man, and of the Woman, begatt the Beginning of Brokenness, and with it The Blessing of the Broken, or The Curse of the Law. A Spiritual Heritage, as our inheritance, and a New Beginning of SPIRITUAL BROKENNESS. Brokenness begets Brokenness, from one Generation to the next. We reap the consequences of the Seed we sow. Our children reap the consequences of the Seed we sow. It is a Spiritual Inheritance of Brokenness. Now, we suffer the SINS OF OUR FATHERS as a Spiritual Inheritance. We have been Battling invisible forces of Evil, keeping us in Bondage to our own Brokenness. To the Brokenness before us. The Darkness gets Darker, yet the Light has already come. We have already been Freed, and Jesus Christ has already Won. He has reached down into The Brokenness, and is Breathing His Healing Breath of Life into her. Arise, Shine, for the Light has come, and the Glory of the LORD is risen upon you! No more Curses! No more chains! Only the Beautiful Bride, in the Becoming! We have been trapped in a cycle of Sickness, where we reap the consequences over, and over, again. We have been trapped in a cycle of Disease, coming down through our Family Trees. We have been caught up in the curses of The Generations coming before us, as a consequence of their Acts of Disobedience, and are reaping Generational Curses, and the Spiritual Oppression of it, Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually. We are suffering the consequences of our own Sins. We are suffering the consequences of the Curse. And yet, Jesus has REDEEMED us from the CURSE OF THE LAW! The SEED OF THE WOMAN, Jesus Christ has brought Victory from The Blessing of the Broken, and has brought Healing in Redemption, for every Beautiful Believer, Living Broken, for now and forevermore! It is a Finished work! The Bible testifies, and bears witness, that Jesus bare our sins in His own body on the tree. His body was Broken for you. His was body was Broken for me. His body was Broken for our Healing. We are dead to sins, now living unto righteousness, which is our Sanctification. Now, we are able to walk as His Beautiful Believers, with a Spiritually Transformed Mindset, from Brokenness to Beautiful, Spirit, Mind, & Body. By His stripes we are Healed! An Invisible Voice ***** Who is it for ABBA, when no one is listening? When I cannot speak? An Invisible Voice battling to breathe, trapped beneath the surface of a calling. Gasping for air to be free, yet no one can hear or see. The Words all lost in the Falling. An Invisible Voice burning in me, that shouts in my Spirit, Run! Be Free! But I cannot run, because of an Enemy. Trapped inside a room, again. Trapped inside a barrier again. Words trapped inside my Heart. I cannot run! I cannot play! I cannot get away! I am all alone. I am lonely still, always and again. I cannot Speak, again. Living Broken Again, alone. I cannot get out. I cannot shout. Being Broken for a cause. Being Broken for the lost. I have nothing to say and have no one to listen. An invisible Voice. An Invisible Voice screaming inside me, remembering the rage, remembering the cage, where I lost my Voice, where I lost my choice. Spirit broken with no Words spoken. Day after day, I can’t get away. Run! Be Free! But I cannot run, because of an Enemy. Trapped inside a room, again. Trapped inside a barrier again. Words trapped inside my Heart. I have nothing to say and have no one to listen. An Invisible Voice. Your Words Jesus, with no words. As You went to the Cross. As You hung on the Cross. An Invisible Voice battling to breathe. You had done it all, finished Your call. An Invisible Voice calling for us, screaming for us to hear You! Who is it for ABBA, when no one is listening? When I cannot speak?

Psalm 118:17 “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.”

6. THE BEGINNING OF BROKENNESS / THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION

Susan Vaughan Shumake — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:21:23 +0000

THE BEGINNING OF BROKENNESS Episode 6 THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION

Suddenly Lord, I need You now Everything is changing and I’m lost somehow Everything I trusted in is failing me Suddenly I’ve lost all my security Lord, I need You more More than I ever realized before Everything about my future changed today Suddenly my dreams seem oh, so far away Suddenly You have brought me to the place where its’ just You and me Unimportant things, I simply cannot see Life, and all its’ Blessings are what’s dear to me Tragedy Makes this life of mine seem suddenly, so precious Lord Another wasted minute I cannot afford For all that You have given me is suddenly Enough for me Lord, How can it be? This thing that You’ve allowed has really shaken me All my hopes and dreams have slipped right through my hands Suddenly I can’t rely on my own plans Lord, What’s all this for? I have never felt this insecurity before Now, I’m only wanting what You want for me Because suddenly I see Eternity THE BEGINNING OF BROKENNESS Session 6 THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual Position The BEAUTIFUL that was in the Beginning, now Betrayed by our Spiritual Enemy Satan. Suddenly, we KNOW Brokenness. Suddenly, we SEE Evil. Suddenly, the Darkness of SIN and DEATH enter. Separating us from the HOLINESS, and the BEAUTY, and the LIGHT, that is God. SIN separates us from the LOVE of God. SIN separates us from the BEAUTY. SIN separates us. Now BROKENNESS Becomes us. Genesis 3:7 New King James Version “The the eyes of both of them were opened, and they KNEW that they were naked: and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves covering.” At the moment of their Act of Disobedience to the COMMAND of God, Suddenly “the eyes of both of them were opened” SPIRITUALLY, to KNOW they were naked. Suddenly, they were Spiritually Awakened to their Nakedness, to their Un-coveredness. Suddenly, they KNEW Shame. Suddenly they KNEW Fear. Suddenly, they KNEW Guilt. Suddenly, the Knowledge of Good and Evil happened. They KNEW Sin. Suddenly, The Beautiful LIFE in the Garden of Eden as they knew it, ended. Suddenly, the Intimacy of their Fellowship with God was taken. Suddenly, the security of their foundation of LOVE was shaken. In this moment, they became AFRAID of God, and they hid. Sin brings separation. One Act of Disobedience brought Death. Death to Spiritual LIFE. Death to Intimacy and Fellowship, with a BEAUTIFUL, LOVING, and HOLY, Heavenly Father. SIN cannot exist in the presence of a PERFECT God. LIGHT and DARKNESS cannot dwell together. The Blessings of the Beautiful, the Presence of God, and God’s Holy Covering of Protection, were all LIFTED from the Beautiful Garden of the Lord, and from Adam and Eve. The BLESSING of Obedience was removed. The CURSE of Disobedience came. Matthew 26:36-41 (NIV) 36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” 39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” 40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. Matthew 26:41 (NIV) 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” WATCH AND PRAY. WATCH AND PRAY. WATCH AND PRAY. Jesus KNOWS our spirits are willing, but our flesh is weak. Jesus knows we will fall into Temptation, and fall into sin. He prays for us about our Spiritual Battles. Jesus was in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan, yet was without sin. He is acquainted with Grief and knows our sorrows. He used the Word of God as His weapon! You will use the Word of God as your weapon! God knows your Spiritual Battles of Temptation. God knows your Spiritual Brokenness and how to Recover ALL Beauty. The Healing Heart of Heaven is Here! The Battle is not yours but God’s. You will learn how to Win the Battle, through a Process of The Sanctification of your Heart. You are God’s creation completed, Blessed, and Sanctified! In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. It is done. SET FREE THROUGH SANCTIFICATION BY THE SPIRIT Romans 8:6 (KJV) 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED is life and peace. I am going to begin Teaching you how to BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED! If those things that are of the Carnal Mind, not of the Spiritual Mind, bring Death. We must begin to recognize or discern those areas we struggle with in our own thoughts. We must begin to discern, and to learn our Spiritual Battle, in order to fight it. God wants to remove the things that are not of Him in you, and He wants to do this by renewing your Mind. God wants to teach us through the Word of God and through the Witness of the Holy Spirit, to have the Mind of Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV) 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. SANCTIFICATION is the process of being made Holy. The word “sanctify,” means to make Holy. In this scripture, it says “the God of peace sanctify you wholly,” in order that you be made whole. Holiness brings about Wholeness, of the spirit, of the soul, and of the body. It is a process that begins with Understanding. It is a Process that begins with Knowing and DISCERNING OUR THOUGHTS. 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; Psalm 25:18 (KJV) 18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Proverbs 2:1-11 NKJV 1 My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; 8 He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints. 9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path. 10 When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, 11 Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, Ezekiel 18:17 (KJV) 17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. Ezekiel 18:31-32 (KJV) 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Jeremiah 30:17 (KJV) 17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seekethh after. Psalm 119:92-93 (NIV) 92 If your law had not been my delight,  I would have perished in my affliction. 93 I will never forget your precepts,  for by them you have preserved my life. BROKEN FOR ME ***** The pain I’m in is nothing compared to the Price you paid, to the Price You paid for my pain. As I am Living Broken Again. BROKEN FOR ME Now I can see the pain you suffered Now I can feel the price you paid Now I can taste Your broken body The LIFE You purchased on the Tree BROKEN FOR ME I am Broken Clay enmeshed with Holy Golden Strands Cut and pasted to stay the cancer’s course BROKEN FOR ME to be Healed by Heaven’s Hands Scars of Gold amidst my Brokenness BROKEN FOR ME Now I can see the pain you suffered Now I can feel the price you paid Now I can taste Your broken body The LOVE You purchased on the Tree BROKEN FOR ME I am a Broken Sacrifice of Worship on Your Alter Given within the purpose of your plan BROKEN FOR ME to be given Laughter A Miracle after and made Beautiful again BROKEN FOR ME Now I can see the pain you suffered Now I can feel the price you paid Now I can taste Your broken body The HEALING You purchased on the Tree BROKEN FOR ME I am Broken Bread and poured out Wine for Your Glory Pressed into the passion of Your pain BROKEN FOR ME to share my Healing story Crushed beneath Your Beauty once again BROKEN FOR ME Now I can see the pain you suffered Now I can feel the price you paid Now I can taste Your broken body The BEAUTY You purchased on the Tree BROKEN FOR ME BROKEN FOR ME You were BROKEN FOR ME. I was BROKEN FOR ME. All I can do is cry for my pain. All I can do is cry in my pain. And now all I can do is cry for Yours. All I can do is cry for my pain, in my pain, because of my pain. My pain calls me to You. My Brokenness calls me to my Healer. My Healer who was BROKEN FOR ME. You who were BROKEN. You were BROKEN FOR ME. You were BROKEN FOR MY PAIN. You were BROKEN FOR MY BROKENNESS. You were BROKEN FOR MY BROKEN BONE. You were BROKEN FOR MY HEALING. Your BROKEN BODY was BROKEN for my BROKEN BODY. You were BROKEN FOR ME to BE HEALED. I was BROKEN FOR ME to BE HEALED. The pain I’m in is nothing compared to the Price you paid, to the Price You paid for my pain. My LORD, You suffered in Your Broken Body for my Broken Body, for my Broken Heart, for my Brokenness. Your body was BROKEN FOR ME. BROKEN FOR ME to Believe. BROKEN FOR ME to be Healed. BROKEN FOR ME to be Free. The pain I’m in You paid for me. You paid this Price to set me free. You paid for this pain for me. BROKEN ON A TREE, BROKEN FOR ME.

THE BETRAYAL OF THE BEAUTIFUL Episode 5 THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION

The Garden of Affliction “Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:15-17 NKJV In The Garden of Eden, there is Perfect Beauty. There is Perfect Relationship. There is Perfect Protection. There is Perfect Love. There is Perfect Provision. There is Perfect Choice. There is Perfect Work. And with every new day, there is a New Beginning, and there is a job to do, to tend and keep what God has given. There is a God given Garden to tend, and a Divine Work to Do within it. The Beauty of Eden. The Beautiful in the Beginning. The Beautiful Work of Creation given to me. Given to you. Can you See it? Can you Breathe it? God Breathing LIFE. Everything that lives, Breathes LIFE. God’s LIFE. God’s Breath-of-LIFE. It is mine. It is yours. There is God given LIFE, and there is a Choice to make, to cultivate, and to create, something Beautiful from the ground God has given. To create something from the Garden God has put me in. With every new day there is opportunity to stay, within the Boundaries of Obedience. I can choose to eat of any tree of the garden, or I can choose Death. In The Garden of Affliction, there is Perfect Beauty. There is Perfect Relationship. There is Perfect Protection. There is Perfect Love. There is Perfect Provision. There is Perfect Choice. There is Perfect Work. And with every new day, there is a New Beginning, and there is a job to do, to tend and keep what God has given.

There is God given LIFE and there is a Choice to make, to cultivate, and to create, something Beautiful from the ground God has given. To create something from the Garden God has put me in. With every new day there is opportunity to stay, within the Boundaries of Obedience. I can choose to eat of any tree of the garden, or I can choose Death. Within The Garden of Affliction, I can choose LIFE or I can choose Death. I choose LIFE! What will you choose? “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 THE BETRAYAL OF THE BEAUTIFUL Episode 5 THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION I am taking you on a Biblical Journey, through The Betrayal of the Beautiful, when SIN Entered In, to the place where we begin BELIEVING BROKENNESS. Today I am going to explain, and expose, the “WHO” of our BATTLE against ALL Brokenness. The Entrance of our Spiritual Enemy. We will begin BEFORE BROKENNESS, in The Beautiful Garden of Eden, where we left off last. Picture Heaven’s Heart for every BEAUTIFUL BELIEVER. Picture yourself there, in His Heart. You are His Beautiful Creation. His Beautiful child. His Beautiful Son. His Beautiful Daughter. Perfection, exactly AS you are. You are a Spirit breathing Life, with a Soul, living in a Physical body. Created as an Image Bearer of LIGHT, of LIFE, and of BEAUTY. You are a Bearer of THE BEAUTIFUL, begotten by God. You are a child of GOD. You are Spirit, and Mind, and Body, and you have intimate Fellowship WITH GOD. You walk with Him, and you talk with Him, in Perfect Relationship, in Perfect Communion, in Perfect Harmony. You know NO FEAR. You know His HEART. You know His VOICE. You know His LOVE. You know His PROVISION, and His PROTECTION. And, you know His COMMAND. Genesis 2:15-25 (NKJV) ”15 Then the Lord God took [a]the man and put him in the garden of Eden to [b]tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you[c] shall surely die.” This is why it is so important to SEE and KNOW, WHO we were created to BE, and WHO we were created to BELIEVE. This was a test of their faithfulness, through Obedience. Obedience and Disobedience both have consequences. We are created with Free Will, and Choice, so that we might choose obedience. We reap the consequences of the choices we make, of the seeds we sow. The consequences of the Choice of Obedience are: Spiritual Life, Health, and the abundant Blessings of God’s Provision, Protection, and Peace with God; which is intimate fellowship, and communion with God. The consequences of the Choice of Disobedience are: Spiritual Death and Separation from God; a loss of Intimacy, loss of Provision, Protection, Life, Health, Peace, and Communion. So the enemy, distorted The Word of God. He used a portion of the Truth, but not the whole Truth, of the Word of God, to manipulate her thinking. He made her question God’s Words, and question God’s Authority in her situation, as though God had withheld something good from her…Wisdom! She was deceived by the Lies, and by Satan’s manipulation of the Word of God. As she was Tempted, she saw that the fruit was good for food, the Lust of the Flesh, that it was pleasing to the eye, the Lust of the Eyes, and that it was desirable for gaining wisdom, the Pride of Life. This is the same way Satan tempts us all today. -He lies to us about our circumstances. -He distorts the Truth of the Word of God to manipulate our thinking. -He tempts us to question God’s intentions for our good. -He tempts us to doubt God’s Authority in our circumstance. -He tempts us to Believe that what he has to offer us, is better than what God has already given us. -He tempts us to Believe his word as truth, over the Authority of God’s Word as Truth. -He tempts us to disobey the Word of God, and sin. This was a Physical act with Spiritual consequences. Sin, and Death, entered humanity through this Act of Disobedience. Now, there was not only Good in the Garden. Now, they had knowledge of both GOOD and EVIL. The eyes of both of them were opened, and they KNEW. (Genesis 3:7) They knew EVIL. Evil entered into the world, through an Act of Disobedience to the Command of God. GRASPING YOUR GRACE When there seems but a glimpse to hold onto I close my eyes to make Fear go away and my Heart lifts its’ cries up to you, LORD grasping Your Grace for today I rest in the Peace that surrounds me when there is no peace to be found Lost in the list of Confusion as yesterday’s News brought me down LORD, You are my Strength and my Courage My Resting Place when I am weak You are the Rock that I stand on the Foundation of Love that I seek Faithfulness comes to the Faithful when all we Believe slips away And Your arms are the Wings that we fly on when everything else goes astray

YOU ARE MY PEOPLE! Isaiah 51:12-16 New King James Version 12 “I, even I, am He who comforts you.  Who are you that you should be afraid  Of a man who will die,  And of the son of a man who will be made like grass? 13 And you forget the Lord your Maker,  Who stretched out the heavens  And laid the foundations of the earth;  You have feared continually every day  Because of the fury of the oppressor,  When he has prepared to destroy.  And where is the fury of the oppressor? 14 The captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed,  That he should not die in the pit,  And that his bread should not fail. 15 But I am the Lord your God,  Who divided the sea whose waves roared—  The Lord of hosts is His name. 16 And I have put My words in your mouth;  I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,  That I may [a]plant the heavens, Lay the foundations of the earth, And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ” Beautiful in its’ Time. Ecclesiastes 3:11  "He has made everything beautiful in its’ time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." He has made everything Beautiful in its’ time.  I am who God created me to be, yet I am not who I will Become.   Today, I am exactly where God wants me.  I cannot move ahead at a faster pace,   nor can I choose to change my place.  I cannot turn back time to yesterday  And my tomorrows will always arrive, as another today.  I am in the center of God’s will right here, right now.  His Eternal time clock has set my course in Divine measure.  I cannot arrive at its’ end too soon, nor can I be late.  His perfect purpose has already been set in motion.  There are Blessings behind and there are Blessings ahead,  yet I cannot fathom what God has done from Beginning to End.  He has given me Life and Breath and Today.  Therefore, I can rest in this Truth in peace, and be thankful.  He has made everything Beautiful in its’ time.

BORN TO BE BEAUTIFUL Episode 3 THE BEAUTIFUL IN THE BEGINNING: Our Emotional, Physical, & Spiritual POSITION and CONDITION

- A Mother’s Heart - There is something about a Mother’s heart Unending love right from the start Given by God knit in the womb Woven whispers that burst into bloom Melodious harmonies of life can be found With every heartbeat creating new sound Visions of Purpose planted within Creating its’ path again and again Love interwoven into each breath Never abandoned even at death At the miracle of birth Angels burst into song Rejoicing the life God has carried along Seen and created in that Secret place Known and wrapped in God’s warm embrace Made perfect and pure, protected from harm Till it can be held in its Mother’s arm A heart that believes in Love at first sight will carry her through the darkness of night No shame, no regret, for the choice she has made of the gift of a child God created to save Though others throw stones rejecting the Truth This life has great worth of purpose and proof A future bought for by death on a Cross Already given, paid at a great cost The heart of a Mother sees Beauty and Grace Every time she sees that beckoning face Her heart has a hold that nothing can tear A bond not broken but burdened to bear A Mother’s Heart, holds Heaven in hand Spirit breathed LIFE purposed and planned Heavenly glimpses of Glory on earth God’s Image Bearers of Beauty at birth You were Born to Be Beautiful. Before the foundation of the world, God saw you and knew you. Out all of creation, He chose you. He chose you, and He created you, just as He purposed you to BE. He knew the day, the time, and the season of your Birth. He knew your form, and stature, and the value of your Worth. He knew the sparkle of your eyes. He knew the things that make you cry. He knew the freckles on your face, and the days you would need Grace. He knew the Love placed in your heart, and the Dreams that He would start. He knew you before you Became. He knew the Righteousness you would gain. The Beauty from ashes you will Proclaim, and the Glory you’ll bring to His Name. He knew the rebellious time of your youth, the search for Love, Security and Truth. He saw the adventure in your eyes, and the hope for Dreams, not yet realized. He knew the passion, and fire inside. The days you would run and hide. He KNEW you then, and He SEES you now. He knew everything about you, intimately and perfectly. His perfect creation. Perfectly Beautiful. And He breathed His Breath-of-LIFE into YOU. And He looked at all that He had made, and it was Very Good! Psalm 139:13-16 NKJV “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. Your days were fashioned for you, by God, before any of them came to BE. You were, before You Became. You were in the Heart of Heaven. His eyes saw your substance, being yet unformed, being yet unborn. And in Your book they all were written, the days You fashioned for me, before I came to BE. “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works!” (Psalm 139:14) Just as God Spoke everything into creation through a creative and Living Word. You have been created, and are ALIVE, through that same creative, and LIFE giving, Living Word. Created to BE, by God’s Breath of LIFE! Apart from God, we are BREATHLESS! Song of Songs 2:10-15 The Passion Translation 10 The one I love calls to me: Arise,[a] my dearest. Hurry, my darling.[b] Come away with me![c] I have come as you have asked to draw you to my heart and lead you out. For now is the time, my beautiful one. 11 The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth[d] 12 and left it bright with blossoming flowers.[e] The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived.[f] I hear the cooing of doves in our land,[g] filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth. 13 Can you not discern this new Day of Destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of my Purposes and Plans are bursting forth.[h] The budding vines of new Life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whispers, “There is change in the air.” Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the Higher Place. For now is the time to Arise and come away with me. 14 For you are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock.[i] It was I who took you and hid you up high in the secret stairway of the sky. Let me see your radiant face and hear your sweet voice.[j] How beautiful your eyes of worship and lovely your voice in prayer. 15 You must catch the troubling foxes, those sly little foxes[k] that hinder our relationship. For they raid our budding vineyard of love to ruin what I’ve planted within you. Will you catch them and remove them for me? We will do it together. God is calling you to Himself. He has heard your HEART cry. He is drawing your Heart to His. He is beckoning you to come, and to BECOME, all He has called you to BE. He is drawing you out of your hidden place, and leading you out of your Brokenness. He is calling you into a new Day of Destiny. Now is the time, My Beautiful One! Come. The Season has changed. The Bondage of your barren Winter has ended, and the Season of hiding is over, and gone. The Season for Singing, and pruning the vines, has arrived. It is a New Day of Destiny, breaking forth around us. You are His Beautiful companion. He is calling you up to a Higher Place. He wants to see your radiant face, and hear your sweet voice as you sing! Arise, My love, My Beautiful One. He says, “Run with me to the Higher Place.” Won’t you run with Him? YOU ARE CHOSEN! Isaiah 41: 8-13 NKJV 8 “But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend, 9 You, whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ 11“Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. 12 You shall seek them and not find them— Those who contended with you, Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing. 13 For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’ “Fear not, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13 He is calling you to BE CROWNED WITH HIM IN GLORY, and out of the Shame of an old Abusive story. He is calling you to BE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST, past the Burdens you have bourne, yet have carried all your Life. He is calling you to BE HOLY AS I AM HOLY, Sanctified by Him, and Healed in Spirit, in Mind, and in Body. He is calling you OUT OF THE DARKNESS and into HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT. He is calling you to BE THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE OF CHRIST. He has already done it. He has made The Way for you. “This is the way, walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:21) You are A WARRIOR! You wear Warrior Wings! You will Defeat Darkness! You will Overcome by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of your Testimony! You will be Washed in the Water by the Word! God has already done it! It is a finished Work on the Cross! Take up your Spiritual Authority, and Walk in it! You were BORN TO BE BEAUTIFUL. You have ALL Spiritual Authority over ALL the power of the enemy, in Jesus name! God has already won the Battle! You will take up your Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and you will slay your Spiritual Enemies! The Battle is not yours but God’s. (2 Chron. 20:15) Take everything back the Enemy has stolen! In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Amen! They Are Who You Are They are who you Are They are the Echos of your eyes The Voices of your shadow The Pattern of your life They are who you Are The Force within your soul They are the Promise of your future These Children that you hold They are who you Are They are the Product of your seed The Living, breathing meaning That Drives this life you lead They are who you Are The Treasures of your worth They are the Greatest contribution You will have upon this Earth They are who you Are They are the Chisels in God’s hand The reason that I Love you The Making of the man He Sent His Word and Healed them! Psalm 107:19-22 New King James Version 19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. 20 He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. 21 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! 22 Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with [a]rejoicing. An invisible Voice from the inside out.

“I will give them a HEART to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will will return to me with all their HEART.” Jeremiah 25:7

The Heart of Heaven. Who can see an invisible force of LOVE? Or the PATH it takes? Who can know it? Who can speak of it? It is in the wind, as the Breath of GOD. It shines as Beauty in the mountains, and on the sands of the seashores. It rises with every morning, and beats its’ beat. The Heartbeat of Heaven. Hallowed in the Heavens, and on the Earth. It fills all space and time, throughout Eternity, yet cannot be measured. It is Holy, and it is Infinite. It is LOVE. Its’ GLORY feeds the sunrise, and the sunset. The Heartbeat of Heaven sustains all LIFE. It is in the flower. It is in the forest. It is in the lion. It is in the lamb. It is in the bug. It is in the butterfly. It is in every fish of the sea, in every bird of the air, and in every beast of the field. It is in ALL of Creation. But the most BEAUTIFUL of all creation is YOU. Genesis 1:1-4 NKJV “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.” “Then God said, “ Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.”(Gen.1:3-4) In Heaven there is Light. In Heaven, there is no Darkness. In Heaven, there is LIGHT, and LIFE, and LOVE, and BEAUTY, and the fullness of the GLORY of GOD, and all that is Good, and Holy, and BEAUTIFUL. GOD Spoke into the Darkness and there was Light. GOD Spoke into Creation and it was so. GOD, The Living Word, Spoke. John 1:1-5 NKJV “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. (John 1:1) The Living Word. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was Life. In Him IS Life. The Life IS the Light of men. (John 1:3,4) All Light, and Life, and Beauty, were Created with the creative force of A LIVING WORD. The Living Word spoke, and it Became living. The Living Word spoke, and it Became creation. The Living Word spoke, and it BECAME. The Living Word of GOD, spoke The Beautiful in the Beginning. The Living Word of GOD spoke LIFE, and LIFE was. The Living Word of GOD spoke LIFE, and it obeyed, and Became, all that GOD had purposed, planned, and intended it to BE, in the Beginning. The Living Word of GOD spoke, and it Became. It was performed, and perfected, and accomplished. The Beautiful in the Beginning, is the Creative force of The Living Word of God spoken, obeying, and Becoming. It is God’s Word in fulfillment. The Living Word of God is perfect, and pure. The Living Word of God is Holy, and True. The Living Word of God is Beautiful. From the HEART  From the HEART of WORSHIP springs a fountain Overflowing melodies rejoice within the soul From the HEART of FAITH there lies a mountain Overcome by knowledge that our God can do it all From the HEART of BROKENNESS lies wisdom For there is the beginning of a life that God can use From the HEART of PRAYER flows God’s forgiveness To overcome the bitterness and pain from Hell’s abuse From the HEART of THANKFULNESS comes laughter Gratefulness and worry cannot mingle side by side From the HEART of SERVICE grows a leader Humility is honored far above our Human pride From the HEART of HEAVEN comes a Healer Who reaches past the walls we’ve built to shut out all our pain From the HEART of GOD comes our Redeemer A Savior sent to DIE for us so we can LIVE AGAIN! A Little of You I look around at others And I see You work in them I see You in their lives I see You in their eyes I look at myself in the mirror And I look for a little of You My face looks back at me But what do I really see? I see a simple reflection Of what my appearance is I see the outside picture Without seeing what is within I know that my inspection Is only one point of view I hope that through their eyes They see a little of You I know that You are with me And You’re making me more like You You are building me into A smaller reflection of You But even though I’m changing I still see the “me” that I was Lord, I want others to see A little of You in me I want others to see Jesus in me… I see a simple reflection Of what my appearance is I see the outside picture Without seeing what is within I know that my inspection Is only one point of view I hope that through their eyes They see a little of You HIDDEN IN YOU Hidden in You You are my Refuge Hidden in You You are my Peace Hidden in You You bear my Burdens Hidden in You I find Release Hidden in You You are my Sustenance Hidden in You You are my Breath Hidden in You I find my Comfort Hidden in You You are my Rest Hidden in You You are my Confidence Hidden in You You are my Strength Hidden in You You are my Righteousness Hidden in You I’m made Complete Hidden in You You are my King of Kings Hidden in You You rescue Me Hidden in You You are My Beautiful One Hidden in You You set me Free Hidden in You You rise in Majesty Hidden in You I will Believe Hidden in You Baptized in Holy Fire Hidden in You My Destiny Hidden in You You are my Life Line Hidden in You You are my Love Hidden in You You are my Butterfly Dreams Hidden in You Blessed from Above Look at Your HEART Look at your Heart What do you See? Do you feel Trapped? Do you long to be Free? If you answered Yes Then here’s what to Do Trust in the Lord Jesus He’s Calling for You He’ll fill in the Void You’re feeling Within He’ll answer your Prayers And cleanse you from Sin He’ll show you He’s Real When you ask from your Heart He’ll change your whole Life Giving you a New Start So if Life seems as though It’s not worth the Pain Then there’s nothing to Lose But only to Gain Try talking to God It’s the right thing to Do And you’ll find New Life It’s Waiting for You Proverbs 2:1-8 (KJV) My son, my daughter, if you accept my words And store up my commands within you, Turning your ear to wisdom And applying your heart to understanding, And if you call out for insight And cry aloud for understanding, And if you look for it as silver And search for it as for hidden treasure, Then you will understand the fear of the Lord And find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, For he guards the course of the just And protects the way of his faithful ones. Romans 14:17 (KJV) For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Our HEALING will not come out of Good Nutrition, but from A Spiritually HEALTHY HEART. In Your Presence Psalm 16:11 English Standard Version 11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. In Your Presence I bask in Your Glory In Your Presence There is fullness of Joy In Your Presence I am drawn to Your Throne room In Your Presence I am transformed and Whole In Your Presence I am changed by Your Beauty In Your Presence I am wrapped in Your Love In Your Presence I am righteous and Holy In Your Presence I am raptured above In Your Presence I worship The King of Kings In Your Presence I cry tears at Your feet In Your Presence I am Broken before You In Your Presence I am made Complete In Your Presence I worship You in Holiness In Your Presence I am lifted on Angel wing In Your Presence I am dancing in Your Glory In Your Presence I am worshiping my King In The Shelter of Your Presence You Hide Us Psalm 31:19-24 New King James Version (NKJV) 19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You,  Which You have prepared for those who trust in You  In the presence of the sons of men!  20 You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence  From the plots of man;  You shall keep them secretly in a [a]pavilion  From the strife of tongues. 21 Blessed be the Lord,  For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a [b]strong city!  22 For I said in my haste,  “I am cut off from before Your eyes”;  Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications  When I cried out to You. 23 Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints!  For the Lord preserves the faithful,  And fully repays the proud person.  24 Be of good courage,  And He shall strengthen your heart,  All you who hope in the Lord.

1. THE SANCTIFICATION OF THE HEART From BROKENNESS to BEAUTIFUL – The Path of LIFE on this Journey

Susan Vaughan Shumake — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 21:12:26 +0000

THE SANCTIFICATION OF THE HEART From BROKENNESS to BEAUTIFUL - The Path of LIFE on this Journey Episode 1

Are You Weeping? Are You weeping Lord Jesus, when Your Spirit is grieved as You watch while Your children are slowly deceived? Do You sigh as a mourner, who mourns for the lost While You see Your own Sheep pay a desperate cost? They are losing their lives, giving in to Disease as they pray not for Healing but only for peace. They have lost all their Faith in “the God who Heals Men” saying yesterday’s Wonders were only for then. They no longer Believe in the Wonders and Signs that You Sovereignly did within Biblical times. And they say that those gifts You dispersed to your sheep were for only a few, and for them not to keep. For the Words of Your Power have been somehow misread, and the babes are then taught from those sadly misled. The whole of this Teaching is the fruit of a Lie and because of this fruit there are people who Die. Lord we claim all the Power that You have to give. For we know that in You, we may reign, not just Live! At the moment You died, by Your blood we were sealed, our sins all forgiven; by Your stripes we were Healed. And that Power which raised You to where You now sit was meant also for us, if we’d just Ask for it. For Time has gone by, it seems Ages have passed, yet the pool is untapped because no one has asked. Father, pour out on us Your incredible might. Pour upon us Your Spirit that we might Win the fight. Let Your Healing begin through the vessels You’ve made, for it’s time that we Build on the groundwork You’ve laid. Let the Blind see again and the Lame start to walk. Let the Deaf hear the sound of the Mute as they talk. Let the Faith of a child raise the Sick from their bed. Let the Voice of a Warrior call men back from the dead. Let the Body of Christ prove your Power and Word, And let Faith follow quickly when your Message is heard. Through the Oneness of us, Your Temple will stand, and the Works we will do will be that of Your hand. And all Glory and Honor will be given to You as the world sees the Signs and the Wonders we’ll do. And Your Children who doubted will no longer say, “The Spirit of God does not move today!” Psalm 56:12-13 King James Version 12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. 13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? Ezekiel 34:11-12 NKJV “For thus says the Lord God: ”Indeed, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock on a day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out my sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.” Our local Pastors, Ministers, and Lay Leaders are not trained or equipped to minister Healing to the Emotionally Broken, to the Physically Broken, or to the Spiritually Broken Body of Christ, within our own Congregations, or within our Surrounding Communities. As the Global Church, here and around our World, we have not sought God first, for our Healing. As a Society, within the Body of Christ, we seek first our Medical Communities when we need Physical Healing, and we are helped, yet we are not Healed. We seek first our Psychological Communities when we need Emotional Healing, and we are helped, yet we are not Healed. We seek first our Churches, or Religious Communities when we need Spiritual Healing, and we are helped, yet we are not Healed. And yet somehow as Believers, we are all still Living Broken. As a Broken Body of Believers, we have stopped Believing in the POWER of God to Heal us. We have stopped Believing in The Healing Heart of Heaven. We have not understood our Spiritual responsibility for this Mandate of Ministry among us. The Church of Jesus Christ is supposed to be a place of HEALING for the Sick, for the Oppressed, for the Rejected, for the Abused. For The BROKEN. We, as sheep, have been scattered. Because there was no Shepherd. We have become food for all the beasts of the field. Scattered over the whole face of the earth. We, as a Broken Body of Believers, have sent our own Broken Ones away, and out of our midst for Healing ministry. This is NOT Scriptural. There is nowhere to go. There is no HEALING MINISTRY among us for Believers within the local Body of Christ. We have erred from the Truth. We have sent our Emotionally Weary & Wounded Warriors away. I was one of them Battling Abuse. We have sent our Physically Broken Believers away. I was one of them Battling Breast Cancer. We have sent our Spiritually Sick Soldiers away. I was one of them Battling a Traumatic Brain Injury, and the hereditary Disease of Huntington’s, We have sent those with Broken Bones, and Broken Bodies away. I was one of them Battling a Broken Femur, and out of our midst for HEALING MINISTRY. We have LOST our way, because we have not known our way. I am here to help show you The Way to Healing Brokenness and Recovering Beauty. The Truth is, all Healing is Spiritual first. All LIFE begins and ends with God. Therefore, all HEALING begins and ends with God. All Healing begins at The Spiritual Level, through a Process of the Sanctification of the Heart. All Healing begins the same, because Healing begins in the Heart. The Brokenness of our Hearts, the Brokenness of our Physical Bodies, and the Brokenness of the Spiritual Body of Christ, are ALL a result of our own, and Individual, SPIRITUAL BROKENNESS. They all are the result of our own, and individual, Spiritual Health. Ezekiel 34:5-6 NKJV “They were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no-one was seeking or searching for them.” We have Believed the Lies so long that we don’t BELIEVE anymore. I have SEEN the Broken Body of Christ. I have BEEN the Broken Body of Christ. Our Spiritual Body, as a whole, is Broken and needs to be Healed. It is through this Spiritual Brokenness that we have become weak and unable to stand. We are Spiritually Sick as a Church, as THE Body of Christ! This is why we are NOT being Healed physically. This is why we are not being Healed when we are prayed for, and anointed with oil. This is why we are Sick, and dying in our Disease. We are not being trained in righteousness. We are not being taught how to fight our Spiritual Battles. We are Spiritually Sick Saints, and we are suffering as a Church Body, and we are not being ministered to in the area of Spiritual, Emotional, or Physical Health. We are taught about Salvation. We are taught about Evangelism. We are taught about Missions. We are taught about Grace. We are taught about Ministry. We are taught to serve, and to Minister to the needs of those around us, all around the World. And yet, we are NOT TAUGHT to minister to the Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical Brokenness of those who are within our own walls, of our Houses of Worship. We are NOT taught about Healing! We are not taught about the Sanctification of the Heart. We are not taught How to Heal the Broken. We are all LIVING BROKEN, and we are in desperate need of the Healing Power of God within the Church. We are in desperate need of THE HEALING HEART OF HEAVEN!

My Beautiful One,

You were BORN TO BE BEAUTIFUL! You were born from the HEART OF HEAVEN to BELIEVE in your HEART. You were created PERFECTLY in my sight and in my image. As an image-bearer of LIGHT and LIFE and BEAUTY. As an image-bearer you are triune in being, created in SPIRIT, in MIND, and in BODY.

You are ONE, just as I AM ONE. Together we are ONE.

The BROKENNESS of this world and SIN have brought brokenness to our RELATIONSHIP, to all relationships. SEPARATION, ISOLATION, and REJECTION are all a result of this BROKENNESS in MY BEAUTIFUL BODY of BELIEVERS. Unity & Community are BROKEN as a result.

The HARMONY of My beautiful Body of Believers has been broken. The HEART of My beautiful Body of Believers has been broken. The HOPE of My beautiful Body of Believers has been broken. You have not known THE HEART OF HEAVEN. You have forgotten your first LOVE.

You have forgotten THE HEART OF HEAVEN, but Heaven has not forgotten you! YOU are THE HEART OF HEAVEN, MY BEAUTIFUL BELIEVER. I AM …. BREATHING LIFE into the BROKEN.

ONLY BELIEVE!

My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me.” Song of Songs 2:10 Your Heavenly Father

Believe the Beautiful!

THE MIRACLE AT THE BEAUTIFUL GATE: A Beautiful Miracle Testimony of Healing

Susan Vaughan Shumake — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 22:55:12 +0000

THE MIRACLE AT THE BEAUTIFUL GATE: A Beautiful Miracle Testimony of Healing

BEAUTIFUL is its' Name!

Acts 3:9-10 (NKJV)

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

***** BEAUTIFUL is its' Name! My day began much like yesterday for these days are all much the same. I was carried again to the Temple Gate- BEAUTIFUL is its' Name. Day after day I come to this spot where I sit with my hand out and beg. I hope that some generous person might give to this cripple who can’t use his legs. It was three o’clock, the hour of prayer and the courts were starting to fill. I held up my hands to each passerby, yet they often came down empty still. Then two men, together, approached the Gate. They were two fishermen, I believe. When I asked for alms, one replied, “Look at us!” So I looked expecting something. He said, “I do not possess Silver and Gold” I listened as he continued to talk. “But what I do have I give to you- In the Name of Jesus Christ – WALK!” He took my right hand, and helped me up. My ankles and feet became strong! I leaped to my feet and stood upright, then I started to walk all alone! I went inside the Temple with them. I couldn’t stop praising the LORD! I could stand! I could walk! For the very first time! I’d received what I had prayed for! The people all saw me Walk and Praise God! Their faces showed they were Amazed! They remembered the cripple who sat at the Gate – BEAUTIFUL is its' Name! ***** Acts 3:1-10 New King James Version A Lame Man Healed 3 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to [a]ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. THE MIRACLE at The Beautiful Gate of the Temple… Beautiful is its Name. It was a Physical Miracle. It was an Emotional Miracle. It was a Spiritual Miracle. All three areas of BROKENNESS; Healed, Whole, Delivered, Sanctified, Redeemed, and Restored! What was it that allowed this man to receive his MIRACLE of HEALING? He had to Expect it. He had to Believe it. He had to Receive it. He had to Anticipate it, and Act on it. He had to STAND! He had to STAND on his Faith, or he would not STAND at all! It was at the Hour of Prayer. It is always at the Hour of Prayer, at the time when we are Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually spent, and desperate for God, in the 9th Hour, when we go to meet with God, needing a MIRACLE of HEALING! We are going to God with our Brokenness, in our Brokenness. We are going to the House of God, needing His Healing. Needing His Heart. Yet, we aren’t always allowed to enter in through the Gate! The Gate of Religion. The Gate of Pharasareism. The Gate of Humanism. The Gate of Traditionalism. The Gate of Racism. The Gate of Legalism. The Gate of Conformity. The Gate of Hypocrisy. The Gate of Man. We go to the House of God, wanting to meet God there, to worship, to pray, to hear the Word of God, Spoken. We come seeking God, to hear from The Healing Heart of Heaven, but we are the outcasts, because we are different. Because we look different. Because we aren’t Beautiful. Because we are Broken. Because we Worship differently. Because we Believe differently. Because we have never Believed. Abandoned at the Gate. We are left out. We are the lost ones. We don’t belong. We don’t fit in. We are forced to remain outside the walls of Community, unable to enter in, unable to serve God within the System. We are the outsiders. We are The Broken Ones. The Broken Ones. The lame, the abandoned, the rejected. The abused, the misunderstood, the neglected. The Ashamed. The ones outside of the System. All needing Healing, and yet not always finding a welcoming entrance, through that Gate. Not always finding the Healing we have hoped for, withiin the Temple Gate, within the Church Doors, within the Religious Systems of the Day, within the Broken Body of Christ. And yet, we need God! And yet, we meet God! GOD, in His Faithfulness, Mercy, and Love, meets us where we are, as we come to Him, at THE BEAUTIFUL GATE of His Temple. At The Beautiful Gate of His Heart, ALL may enter in! He waits for us where we are, to come to Him as we are. He Sees us where we are! He Heals us where we are! Outside of the rules and regulations of the Law. Outside of the rules and regulations of the Church. Outside the Gate. We are the ones He came to Save. Jesus Sees us! Jesus Frees us! Jesus Heals us! My Glorious Abba Heavenly Father, Thank You for The Beautiful Journey You are taking me on. You know my Heart. You know the Brokenness of my Heart, and the intimate places in my Spirit, my Mind, and my Body, where I need Healing and Restoration. I give them to You now. Teach me to open my heart to Your Spiritual Truths, during this Bible Study BOOTCAMP. Please open my Spiritual understanding, that I might have Spiritual Eyes to see, Spiritual Ears to hear, and a Spiritual Heart to understand, that I may turn, and Be Healed, and Become The Beautiful One, You have called, and created me to BE! Your Beautiful Believer! Please, help me to change my Toxic Thinking. Give me a Spiritually Transformed Mindset, from Brokenness to Beautiful! Your Word is Beautiful! I Believe! Forgive my unbelief. I thank You Father, for The MIRACLE of The Healing of my Broken Heart, right now. Thank You for my WARRIOR WINGS! In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Meet Me at the Altar I Inhabit ALL your praise Meet Me at the Altar King of Kings. Ancient of Days. Meet Me at the Altar Let My Glory fill this house Meet Me at the Altar I will pour My Blessing out

Proverbs 4:20-27 (KJV)

My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man’s whole body.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

Believe the Beautiful!
