Chapter 1
Introduction
Guilt & Shame
The Problem:
When you feel guilt or shame, you feel worthless,
like "dog meat." Why can you not shake this? Why
is it present so much of the time?
As a Christian, at some level you may know that it is
not true that you are worthless or "bad." After all,
you have read the Bible. There it is clear that you
are precious in God's sight, that He loves you, and
that you are made in His image.
But these feelings of guilt or shame are evidence
that somehow that truth has not made the journey
from your head to your heart. For some reason, no
matter how many scriptures you read about how
valuable you are to God, your feelings haven't
changed. More knowledge in your head has not
changed your heart.
The Way Out
There is a way for you to begin to feel about yourself
the way God feels about you.
You can not change your feelings by trying hard to
do so. That is because you need more than a
psychological solution (trying hard). Your feelings
from inside are evidence of a spiritual problem, and
as a result you need a "spiritual" solution.
The Apostle Paul said the following:
Our problem is that we need detailed instructions as
to how to appropriate "through Jesus Christ our
Lord." Once you learn how to apply the blood of
Jesus, then you will be able to be delivered from
"this body of death."
It works!
Where To Get These Instructions:
I have written a book that gives the "detailed
instructions" you need. Almost half of the book is
posted for free on this website. Please feel free to
browse and read all you want.
I would suggest that you start with Chapter 11, which
explains what your emotions are telling you. They
are giving you a major clue as to how to get set free.
Be aware that by reading Chapter 11 out of sequence
with the rest of the book you will encounter a few
terms that were discussed earlier in the book, which
you will have not yet read. However, this will not
interfere with your understanding of the concepts
being taught.
