I Can't Sweep This Under The Rug | Therapy Thursday | Issac Curry

Have you ever wondered why all of your relationships keep sinking? Why you keep drowning in pain and people-pleasing? It's important that we understand that you cannot make what was never God's will into being His will.

God doesn't give us "grace" to fulfill the desires of our hearts, but He does provide "grace" to fulfill the desires of His heart. I have grace to endure!

No longer will I sacrifice myself at the alter of your expectations! Rehab is in session for all recovering people-pleasers and those who wrestle with the fear of rejection.

Jesus leaving the 99 for 1 sounds crazy, until you're that 1. Yes, something has to die, but it's not you. The enemy wants you to believe the only way out is to take your life, but that's a lie! We have hope for you in this message.

Have you ever made the mistake of thinking something, somewhere or someone was safe just to find out they sabotaged your focus, peace and direction? It's critical we identify the differences in safe spaces and sabotages.

Can you discern when God has called you to be number two? Until we realize that our role is for God's glory and not our own, we'll never be able to find unspeakable joy in the reality that we must decrease, so that God increases.

We have to get to a place to where we stop listening to people's advice who don't have to deal with the outcome if we follow it. We must be cautious about who has access to your ear!

Can you identify when a failure isn't a part of the process, but it's a part of protection? This doesn't mean we need to work harder; nor is it adversity, it's clarity! This is God being clear about what is and isn't in His will for your life.

If you don't disciple your imagination, it will begin to filter everything through fear, threats and worst-case scenarios. This is no way for a Christ follower to live and thrive. We must get our anxiety under control so that it stops dictating our lives!

So many of us are engaged in historically inherited wars and we don't even know it! Generational cycles gain momentum by stories being left untold and scars that were covered by statements such as, "what goes on in this house stays in this house."
