Price: Free! 56720 words.
Published on June 11, 2013. Nonfiction.
A victim mentality is a mentality where the person will not take responsibility.They choose rather to make excuses for why life is like it is and to find someone or something to blame. When you blame someone you put responsibility on them, you remove it from yourself and leave yourself powerless and resentful at how life sucks. This is a way of thinking, it's an internal choice in your heart.

Sin disconnects us from God, and puts shame around our life; but God wants us to be connected, so I can be myself, I don't have to wear a mask. I can actually just be true and authentic and genuine, but I have to learn the skills of building good relationships as well. Shame is an Identity Thief. It steals away who we are.

Jesus has been asked some very important questions. The disciples asked Him tell us about the future of Jerusalem, what's going to happen, when are these things going to happen. They said tell us when you will come. We want to know about the end of the age. For a believer our hope is not the things that happen in our life now. Our hope is set in eternity, and life is an apprenticeship.

One of the most painful experiences in life is to go through experiences where you're unloved or where people react against you, where they speak against you or where there's physical or emotional violence, and you actually experience over a period of time a deep sense of lack of value, that I don't belong or I'm not valuable to anyone.

Foundations for Fruitbearing (sermon)

This is about people who are walking with God, moving in the supernatural, but there's something really missing in what they do and how they do it. It's not that they aren't seeing results - they're seeing people healed, delivered, touched by the presence or power of God, but there's something missing at the core of their being. Notice what He says: 1) I didn't know you; 2) you did your own thing
