Day Fifteen
Habits and Mindsets Have you ever stopped to work out how much of what you do every day is habit? There isn’t anything necessarily wrong with this, but you’ll find it to be a very large part of your daily routine. It’s not just how you fill your time; it’s the way you do life […]
Day Fourteen
What’s the Cost of Sin? We talked yesterday about shame and what it can do to us. But what about sin? If shame can isolate us, the knowledge of our own sin can destroy us if we allow it. Of course, if we are addicted to that sin, then we can be completely enthralled by […]
Day Thirteen
Shame Shame isolates us! It’s a hidden secret. It doesn’t like coming into the light. It makes us believe that we’re constantly uncovered and that the people surrounding us can see all the way into us. It steals our confidence and compromises our self-worth. It is the ultimate thief and liar that stops us from […]
Day Twelve
Forgiveness It’s said that the first to apologize is the bravest, the first to forgive is the strongest, and the first to forget is the happiest. Forgiveness isn’t one of the Ten Commandments.

The Wonder of Grace Recently, I saw an almost throw-away comment on Facebook.

Day Nine
Who are You? Whose are You? Aren’t those great questions? It’s such an innocent-looking sentence, but discovering the answer and being sure of it can be most challenging! At its root, it’s a question of identity and belonging, but let’s start with identity. The “Who are you?” question is loaded with possibilities. Are you what […]
Day Eight
It’s All About Jesus! How often have you heard the phrase, “It’s all about Jesus”? It can be a bit of a mantra, but it’s largely true. We say “largely” because Jesus’ role on Earth was to act as a signpost towards Father God and to demonstrate to us all Father God’s nature. So, […]
Day Seven
Accepting Holy Spirit Not everyone actually sees a picture of Holy Spirit in their Bethel Sozos. They usually have an impression of Him being present, a feeling that He’s close. Was it the same for you? We also find in Bethel Sozo that those people who have either a bad relationship or no relationship […]
