Dans Février 1970, revival broke out at Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky.

On Wednesday, Février 8, 2023 (53 années later almost to the day), revival again broke out on the campus at Ashbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. UNEfter chapel service, some students lingered for spontaneous worship, prayer, and confession. The revival continued for many days and spread to other universities, and many people traveled from all over the world to experience God in that place.

PRAYER & SCRIPTURE

We are hungry for Ouiou, Seigneur. Just like in 1970, there was much turmoil in the world, the Vietnam War, protests, bad economy, high gas prices, inflation, and chaos all around, not much different today in our world. People are hurting. They are confused et fearful about what the future will bring. But our hope is in You, Seigneur. Only You know it all, see it all, and control it all.

We humble ourselves before you today and ask Your Holy Spirit to help us. We cry out as David did in the Psalms.

Psaume 139:23–24
Search us, O God, and know our hearts. Try us, and know our thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting.

Lord God, remove any blindness that may be keeping us from repenting of sin in our lives.

2 Timothy 2:21
Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

We want to be clean vessels sanctified and useful in your kingdom work. Purify us by the Word of God and the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Father God, we are expecting You to move mightily to heal the brokenhearted and to heal all our wounds. We are waiting for you to heal us and our families from disease and demonic oppression, in the name of Jesus, nous prions.

We are praying for our family members, friends, and neighbors who do not know Ouiou yet, that Your Holy Spirit will break their hearts of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Have mercy upon them, O Lord. We are crying out to You for revival in our own hearts, our homes, our neighborhood, our state, our nation, and the world. Viens, Holy Spirit, and have Your will and Your way in us today.

We are surrendering all to You today. We are asking, seeking, and knocking on the door. Let revival continue right here and right now in us.

In the powerful name of Jesus, nous prions, amen.

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Éphésiens 4:29-31
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, mais ce qui est bon pour l'édification nécessaire, qu'il puisse donner la grâce aux auditeurs. Et n'attristez pas le Saint-Esprit de Dieu, par qui tu as été scellé pour le jour de la rédemption. Laisse toute amertume, colère, colère, clameur, et que les mauvaises paroles soient éloignées de toi, de toute malveillance. And be kind to one another, tendre, se pardonner les uns les autres, even as God in Christ forgave you.

 

Preparation for Revival:

  1. Is there someone who you are harboring unforgiveness toward for something they did or did not do?

Would you like to confess that right now?

 

  1. Are you willfully going against what you know is right?

Would you like to confess that now?

 

  1. Is there something that you are unknowingly doing that is not honoring to God? Ask the Lord to show you so you can repent.

Would you like to confess that now?

 

  1. Are you angry with God because you are really struggling with loneliness, depression, loss of job, health issues, a relationship, and God is not moving fast enough and you are really suffering?

Would you like to confess that now?

 

Please reach out if you need prayer or encouragement. Ouiou can email me at: toni@myashestobeauty.com.

Avez-vous été libéré?

Avez-vous été libéré?

Par Toni Weisz/Disciplines spirituelles

Références bibliques: John 8:31-32, 34-36, Romains 6: 12-14, and James 5:16

John 8:31-32, 34-36
So Jesus said unto the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.

Romains 6:12-14
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will not have dominion over you, since you are not under the law but under grace.

Are you still struggling with a distorted view of yourself, Dieu, ou d'autres? When did that start for you?

It takes years and perhaps decades of hard work to undo the damage that was done to us as children, teens, and young adults.

How can we be set free to live the abundant life Jesus came to give us?

I’d like to share four keys that can help you be set free.

1.) I believe we need to confess sin daily.

Some questions to take to heart:

  • What are my motives?
  • Why am I so easily offended?
  • Why am I being taken advantage of by others?
  • Why can’t I say no?
  • Why am I fearful or anxious when I have to speak to a certain person?

When we have been mistreated, abused, or neglected or have an abortion in our past, we develop deep wounds which distort our thinking and emotional development. It’s only God who can help us heal in those areas and grow to our full potential.

I heard this statement, but I do not know who coined it:

"If you want to be forgiven, confess your sins to God. If you want to change, confess your sins to another person so they can help you be accountable."

James 5:16
Therefore, confess your sins one to another and pray one to another that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

2.) I feel a personal quiet time with the Lord is essential.

It’s hard for some of us to trust anyone, even God. Slowly, as you spend time with God, in His word, He will reveal His heart towards you. You will begin to see how much He does love you and how He cares about every part of your life. He never tires to hear about what’s going on in your life. He never slumbers. He is always available any time, day or night. That gives me great comfort knowing God is always there for me because so many people have let me down over the years. But God is always faithful.

3.) Sharing your story in a safe environment (such as our conference call) is therapeutic and condusive to healing.

It’s important for our healing that we can share our stories with others in a safe and loving environment without judgment. Once we do that, our secrets no longer have power over us.

Is there some part of your story you have not shared with others?

Now would be a good time to do that. If you cannot speak on the conference appel, then write it down and email it to me à: arwsg4u2@gmail.com.

By sharing our stories with each other, we can pray and encourage each other on our healing journey. You are not alone; that is a lie from the devil.

4.) We must be willing to do the hard work.

I am constantly reading books to help me heal and facilitate a healing group where women feel loved and safe. Our learning, healing and equipping is an ongoing process that will continue until the day we see Jesus. God is still healing me when I allow Him and the Holy Spirit to speak truth into my life. I have to be consciously listening to Him. Speak to God all day long. He is listening and waiting for you to call out to Him.

If you do these four things, it will help you to be set free in every area of your life.

Are you willing to allow Jesus to take you by the hand and lead you on this healing journey?

I pray this has been helpful for you. S'il vous plaît tendre la main. We are waiting to hear from you. Please go to our contact page to get our email and phone number.

Je suis toujours responsable de mes actes

Je suis toujours responsable de mes actes

Je suis toujours responsable de mes actes
par Toni Weisz/Outils de récupération

Romains 3:23, John 16:8, Philippiens 4:13, Matthieu 7:7-8, et Psaume 147:3

Nous avons tous grandi dans des foyers dysfonctionnels parce que nous sommes tous nés dans le péché et avons une nature pécheresse. La Bible dit, « Car tous ont péché et sont privés de la gloire de Dieu. » (Romains 3:23). Certains d'entre nous ont connu une extrême négligence, abuser de, abandon, et le rejet. Cela a provoqué une blessure profonde dans nos âmes et une perception déformée de l'amour.. A cause de ce traumatisme, nous ne faisons pas confiance aux autres et avons peur qu’ils s’approchent trop près; nous ne voulons plus être blessés. Pour cette raison, il est difficile de croire que Dieu ne nous fera pas de mal non plus. De nombreuses femmes ont du mal à développer une relation intime avec Dieu, notre Père céleste, parce qu'ils n'avaient pas de bonnes relations avec leur père terrestre.

Peu importe ce que nous avons vécu dans nos vies, nous sommes toujours responsables de réparer, en bonne santé, décisions pieuses. C’est le Saint-Esprit en nous qui nous conduit à marcher dans la vérité et nous convainc de péché., droiture, et jugement (Lire Jean 16:8). Nous avons la capacité, grâce à l'aide du Saint-Esprit, de arrêt le cycle de dysfonctionnement provenant de notre pays d’origine ou les traumatismes que nous avons vécus ailleurs.

Nous pouvons faire de bons choix. Nous ne sommes pas obligés de réagir aux choses sans nous arrêter, prier, et y réfléchir. Nous contrôlons nos pensées et nos actions. En fait, C'est le seulement chose sur laquelle nous avons le contrôle. Nous devons prendre la décision consciente de ne pas perpétuer ce dysfonctionnement et de le transmettre à nos enfants et aux générations futures.. La seule façon d'y parvenir est de:

1. Avoir une relation avec Jésus.

2. Obtenir de l'aide soit par le biais de conseils chrétiens et/ou de réunions de rétablissement, et lire des livres utiles.

3. Avoir des responsabilités : une personne ou une communauté sûre pour vous aider à continuer à travailler sur vous-même.

Des questions:

  1. Sur quels domaines avez-vous dû travailler à la suite d'un traumatisme passé?
    Toni:     Le rejet a été une énorme blessure pour moi. Faire également confiance aux autres pour ne pas contrôler, manipuler, et m'utiliser en était une autre. J'ai dû apprendre à utiliser ma voix et à imposer des limites saines pour me protéger. J'ai dû apprendre la maîtrise de soi parce que j'étais un volcan ambulant, rempli de rage. J'ai appris pourquoi j'étais si en colère et j'ai accepté cela. Dieu m'a guéri dans tous ces domaines parce que j'étais prêt à le laisser entrer et à me guérir..
  2. Quels sont les domaines sur lesquels vous devez encore travailler?
    Toni: J'ai eu du mal avec la codépendance, alors j'ai commencé à lire le livre, Plus de codépendance, par Suellen McDolly. Cela m'a été très utile de m'arrêter et de vérifier ma motivation pour faire les choses que je faisais.. Je veux toujours être prêt à travailler sur moi-même. Quand je suis déclenché par quelque chose, Je demande à Dieu de me montrer ce qui se passe réellement. J'ai l'habitude de tenir un journal lorsque cela se produit parce que j'ai besoin de l'entendre dans un endroit où/quand je suis prêt à l'écouter..

Notre guérison est un processus qui dure toute la vie, mais si Dieu est impliqué, nous serons victorieux. Nous pouvons tout faire par le Christ qui nous fortifie (Lire Philippiens 4:13). Si vous commencez tout juste votre parcours de guérison, continue de demander à Dieu de t'aider, continue de le chercher de tout ton cœur, et continuez à frapper à la porte pour plus de perspicacité et de sagesse divine (Lire Matthieu 7:7-8). Dieu est fidèle, et Il veut panser ton cœur brisé et guérir tes blessures (Lire le Psaume 147:3).

Je prie pour que cela soit utile. S'il vous plaît tendre la main; nous sommes là pour vous aider et prier pour vous.

Ma vie serait à jamais changée (Partie 6): Le dernier chapitre

April’s Story

My Life Would be Forever Changed (Partie 6)
Le dernier chapitre

In July 1997, I accepted the Lord into my life. I felt like I was a new person. I was alive in Christ. The same year I accepted the Lord into my life, I met my husband, and we were married three years later. I got pregnant right away, but sadly, lost the baby. This was ten years after my abortion. Of course, I thought God was punishing me. But I soon learned that it wasn’t God. It was actually my body holding onto the pain of the past. During that time, I had a lot of anxiety and fear in my heart. I knew God was near, but I didn’t really believe it. I was afraid in my own home and scared to drive my car on the freeway. I asked myself how I could possibly raise a baby with this hurt still inside me. I was holding onto everything. I walked around with a smile on, but deep down I was hurting.

Soon after this pregnancy, I became pregnant again. Alors, in 2002, we had our first child! Our second child followed a few years later in 2005. Malheureusement, right after the birth of our second child, I became really crazy about germs. I couldn’t do it; I felt helpless in my own body. I was so afraid I was going to die. I started to search my heart, and I realized that I was afraid of death for our children. Why was I afraid of death? Because I had faced death myself as a child. Later, I found out that death has NO sting!!!

Aujourd'hui, I have the honor and privilege of walking women through their abortion stories as well as mentoring women that have been through trauma, including sexual abuse. I get to see women be set free from the pain of their past and walk in their newfound freedom in Christ. My goal is to help lead women to freedom from the bondage that has been holding them back.

I now hold a Mental Health Coaching Certificate, and I am working on getting a Christian Counseling Certificate. I have been through the Making Life Disciples course and some trauma classes through church. But one of my favorite accomplishments to date is that I’ve completed one year of Bible College to be able to minister the Word to those who are lost and hurting. #SetFree

I share my whole story to tell you that our God is good, no matter what our circumstances. When I was around drugs and alcohol throughout my life, God was good. When I was kidnapped and raped at 12, God was good. When I had an abortion, God was good. When I was living in sin, God was good. When I felt shame, culpabilité, or fear, God was right there. When I was afraid, God was revealed. When death was around me, God saved me. When I was hopeless, God was full of hope for me. God is forgiveness and my help. What would I do without my Father? He saved me, forgave me, and redeemed me. It was only recently that I discovered that God has been with me all along. He has been pursuing me and chasing me since the day I was born.

I believe that Jesus takes all the hurt on Himself. I believe that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I believe I am reconciled to Him. Merci, Jésus, that the old is gone and the new has come. Merci, Jésus, that I am highly favored and deeply loved. Thank you that I am a called out, separated person for God’s Kingdom work. Merci, Jésus, I am a New Creation. Merci, Jésus, for Your Amazing Grace!!!

Spiritual Warfare in the Post Abortion Bible Studies
Par Toni Weisz/Guerre Spirituelle (Blogs de Toni)
Psaume 91:1-12

Why is spiritual warfare so intense when women decide to step out to be healed from a past abortion?

I have been in the post-abortion ministry since 2006, when I went through my first post-abortion recovery Bible study. Malheureusement, no one prepared me for what was going to be one of the most tragic and saddest times of my life. Satan came in and ripped my family to shreds. My husband and children stopped speaking to each other; my husband and I had a huge conflict; my son’s roommate stopped paying rent and stole from him; my daughter broke up with her boyfriend because of a porn addiction. All of this started two-and-a-half weeks into my first post-abortion recovery Bible study. I was in shock, and I was numb. Much of that time is still a blur to me.

To give you a better idea of how this all started, allow me to set the scene for you.

It was January 22, 2006, Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. I was sitting in my Sunday school class learning about the book of Jeremiah. More specifically, we were discussing how God called Jeremiah to be a prophet from the womb. Our teacher asked each of us, “What has God called you to do?"

For years I had asked God to reveal my calling to me. Up until that day, I thought it was just to be a godly wife and mother. But the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said, “I want you to help other women feel forgiven for their past abortions.”

Immediately, I raised my hand and told our group what God had just shared with me. I then shared with my Pastor after the service what God had said. I was so excited but had no idea what this would mean or how this would change my life forever.

Alors, I told my husband, “God wants me to help other women heal from their past abortions.” His reaction was, “No, that’s not good for you; that will be too hard. You should be in children’s ministry. You will be happier there.”

To respect my husband, I did nothing. I just waited. During the third week of waiting, my Pastor preached on obedience. The Holy Spirit moved in me so strongly that I couldn’t let it go. I went to my husband again and said, “John, you don’t understand. God is calling me to this, and I have to obey.” Thus began my healing journey.

Over the years, I have learned so much from the things that have happened to me on this journey. It has shaped the way I think, speak, and treat others. Malheureusement, I was not treated with kindness during the early parts of my journey.

Instead, I received harsh, condemning feedback and was told it was my fault my marriage was not going well and that I was in sin. These painful words led me to accept unacceptable treatment from my husband. My facilitators and mentors did not have experience in any kind of recovery work or co-dependency issues. They did not recognize I was being bullied and emotionally abused.

I thank God for the equipping He has given me. He has given me patience, gentleness, and love toward women who have lost a child to abortion. I know from experience that many factors go into the decision to have an abortion. We don’t grow up as young girls thinking, “I want to abort my baby.” No. It’s not a natural thing for a woman to do.

I decided to write this blog post about the spiritual warfare surrounding post-abortion recovery because many of us will be involved in these healing Bible studies in some capacity. Whether you are a prayer partner, co-facilitator, or a participant, each of us will experience some kind of spiritual warfare.

Know this: the enemy does not want Christian women healed from a past abortion. He wants to keep us in bondage and chains, locked away in a dungeon to be tormented. This frightening truth inspired the name of our eBook, “Leading Them into His Light.” Long before the eBook, God gave me a vision of a dungeon and women sitting in darkness and in chains. Jesus held my hand as I went into the dungeons to grab the women out so they could be rescued from the enemy. It’s a beautiful picture of God’s love for us.

Our eBook is available on our website for a donation of any amount. In it, nous partageons 17 women’s abortion stories (including my own) and how God turned our ashes into something beautiful for our good and His glory.

Right now, the enemy is trying to trip you up. I am experiencing it in my own home, and you might be also. The enemy will use those closest to you to take you down and discourage you. But do not waiver. God is greater and stronger than the enemy. Stay close to Him and He will protect you.

About six months ago I started reading Psalm 91 every day. I suggest you meditate upon it too. It will strengthen you for the inevitable battle ahead.

 

Des questions & Réflexions finales:

  1. What spiritual warfare have you experienced as a result of stepping out and wanting to be healed from a past abortion?

    2. What do you do to protect yourself from the enemy’s fiery darts?

    I am looking forward to an exciting year in which more women will be healed from the trauma of abortion. With the healing power of Jesus, we can reach even more women and stop this cycle of death in their families.
