“IT IS FINISHED—RESTING IN THE GRACE OF GOD” by Bill Fuller (Bible study; 202 Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-9.32.07-AMPages)

What’s the big deal about grace? Why does the Church teach a mixed Gospel – that we still live under
the Old Covenant law when the Bible teaches that we live under the New Covenant of grace and unconditional love and acceptance? If Jesus took care of the sin issue on the cross, why do we continually hear that we are sinners rather than saints? If we are to rest in the “finished work of Christ” by faith then why does the Church teach works and performance as a basis to grow and mature in our Christian life rather than being transformed into the image of Christ through dependence and intimacy with God?

Are you confused?

Have you lost your peace and joy?

Do you have doubts and fears about your salvation?

Are you working hard for God but still feeling guilty or fruitless?

This Bible study is for you. It will help you to experience grace and learn what it looks like to rest in God’s unconditional love and mercy. It will guide you in examining the Scriptures through the lens of New Covenant grace and help you to trust the Holy Spirit’s guidance with the following topics: life and death, salvation as a free gift, assurance, grace, faith, transformation, Holy Spirit life, unconditional love, true identity in Christ and the gift of forgiveness.

“YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST — A 40-DAY MEDITATION” by Bill Fuller (eBook; 52 Pages)In_Christ_Jesus_Your_Assurance

Knowing who God says you are and believing it is one of the most important truths you must grasp as a Christian and will transform your life. This 40-day meditation was created for that very purpose. It is the foundation for living out your daily life with freedom and power according to your true identity created in God’s image—as His image-bearer. It’s not enough to know about the love of God in your mind; it’s essential to experience His love in such a way that it gets down into your heart (core being) and consequently changes your desires and behaviors and gives you a real purpose for living.

But life is busy and full of stress and these circumstances weigh you down and somehow the Lord and the people you love get lost in the process. The enemy wants to keep us busy and distracted while God is inviting you to move towards Him.

This guided “Experiential Christian Meditation” will give you a daily opportunity to run to God and drink from His living waters. The end result of spending time with the Trinity is spiritual formation which yields a transformation that practices the “fruit of the Spirit” in your relationships with God and others. You will be doing three Christian Mind-Body protocols: Collarbone Statements to put in the truth, Thought Field Therapy, which involves tapping certain meridian points and using bi-lateral eye movements (EMDR), and a contemplative way of meditating on the Scriptures by using Lectio Divina, an ancient Christian discipline. Can you give God thirty minutes a day for the next 40 days? If your answer is yes, then He promises He will show up!

 

“YOUR ASSURANCE OF SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS — A 40-DAY MEDITATION” by Bill Fuller (eBook; 52 Pages)In_Christ_Jesus_Your_Assurance

Knowing that you can’t lose the free gift of Salvation and believing it is one of the most important truths you must grasp as a Christian and will transform your life. This 40-day meditation was created for that very purpose. It is foundational for living out your daily life with freedom and power according to your security in Christ. It’s not enough to know about God’s love and security in your mind; it’s essential to experience His love and security in such a way that it gets down into your heart (core being) and consequently changes your desires and behaviors and gives you a real purpose for living. The truth is “nothing can separate you from the love of God” and your salvation is secure.

But life is busy and full of stress and these circumstances weigh you down and somehow the Lord and the people you love get lost in the process. The enemy wants to keep us busy and distracted while God is inviting you to move towards Him.

SPIRITUALITY AND SEXUALITY: A TREATMENT PROTOCOL by Bill Fuller (eBook; 92 Pages)In_Christ_Jesus_Your_Assurance

Re-capturing Purity from Pornography, Sexual Addiction and Intimacy Anorexia

We found in our Christian counseling/formation practice that we had to make a decision on who would be the agent of change during the client healing process/journey. Would we emphasize our abilities and training and help the client process and grow through self-awareness and finding the correct answers which promote cognitive behavioral therapies in which the counselor is the agent of change? The alternative is to believe that all healing comes from God and ultimately He’s the only agent of change. We see that any form of counseling and Christian spiritual formation revolves around God transforming the heart and mind, allowing true change, restoration and healing to take place.

Part one of the “Spiritual and Sexual Treatment Protocol” explores the problem and what spirituality is and part two provides the solution. The solution — or pathways to healing — involve five Christian spiritual disciplines: Silence and Solitude (experiencing God’s presence), Centering Prayer (a prayer of intention and consent), Intimacy Prayer/Journal (how to run or move into God space when in pain), Imaginative Contemplation (experiencing the Bible as if you were there), and Lectio Divina (a Holy Spirit-led reading, prayer, meditation and contemplation of the Scriptures). It also includes one treatment method (Christian Mind-Body—Splankna which allows God to be the agent of change). It all begins with an in-depth Bible study on how to hear God’s voice.

We suggest you add this to your 12-Step Cognitive Behavioral treatment program or buy it as a gift for someone you know. Each one is an integral part in healing your relationship with God and, consequently, healing and restoring your true sexual identity and masculine or feminine soul.

 

SPIRITUALITY AND ADDICTIONS–A TREATMENT PROTOCOL by Bill Fuller  (eBook; 71 Pages)In_Christ_Jesus_Your_Assurance

Re-capturing Sobriety From Any Type of Addiction: The Art of Being Transformed in the Presence of God

This is a spiritual compliment to any 12-Step Program (alcohol, co-dependency, gambling, drugs etc.). We found in our Christian counseling/formation practice that we had to make a decision as to who would be the agent of change during the client healing process/journey. Would we emphasize our abilities and training and help the client process and grow through more insight, self-awareness and finding the correct answers, which promote cognitive behavioral therapies in which the counselor is the agent of change, or would we emphasize that all healing comes from God and ultimately He’s the only Agent of change? We see that any form of counseling and Christian spiritual formation revolves around God who transforms, allows true change, restoration and healing of the heart to take place.

This “Spirituality and Addiction Treatment Protocol” explores the problem and what spirituality is in Part One and the solution in Part Two. The solution — or pathways to healing — involve five Christian spiritual disciplines: Silence and Solitude (experiencing God’s presence), Centering Prayer (a prayer of intention and consent), Intimacy Prayer/Journal (how to run or move into God space when in pain), Imaginative Contemplation (experiencing the Bible as if you were there), and Lectio Divina (a Holy Spirit-led reading, prayer, meditation and contemplation of the Scriptures), and one treatment method (Christian Mind-Body—Splankna which allows God to be the agent of change).
