We all struggle with things in life, and my life is no different. Sometimes it seems like the stuff we go though is so hard that we can't get free of the pain and suffering it causes us.

We all struggle with things in life, and my life is no different. Sometimes it seems like the stuff we go though is so hard that we can't get free of the pain and suffering it causes us.

I suffered greatly from being abandoned at birth by my biological mother, who also tried to kill me on two occasions while I was in the womb. I know this because when I found her at age 22 she told me the details: Once with a coat hanger, once with several hard blows to her stomach from her boyfriend, who was not my biological father. She was young and unmarried. It wasn't "proper" back in the 60's to keep your babies if you weren't married. Instead, you'd go away for the time of pregnancy to an unwed mother's home, have your baby, then they'd take the baby from you and put it up for adoption. This is what happened to me, which set the stage for many emotional issues to take root and continue to grow in me throughout my life. Many became strongholds especially the fear of abandonment, insecurity, feeling inadequate, not good enough to keep and unworthy of love, rejected, not wanted, anger, etc. as well as an unloving and self-rejecting relationship with myself. These things played a destructive part in all of my relationships.

As an adult, I found myself in one after another abusive marriage relationships (5 total to date) and ended up divorced from all of them, leaving me with four children and a devastated, broken up family, and a broken heart. These life events led me to depression and sorrow which sometimes seemed unbearable and too hard to heal from.

As a result of these and many other tragic events I went through in my life including the death of my twin sons who were still born, I had very little self esteem , confidence or self-love. I also had a lot of bitterness, anger, and emotional pain from rejection and all the different kinds of abuse that I suffered from each of my husbands including traumatizing emotional abuse and physical abuse, including one time almost to the point of death by strangulation. I was tied up and raped by one of my husbands, and from another narcissistic husband I was treated with extreme mental cruelty and neglected on and on for years and was even told by him that, "I was a sorry excuse for a human being." And from another I suffered from sexual abuse, spiritual abuse and addiction abuse.

All this led me to feel pretty powerless even though I was a born-again Christian, I loved God , studied the Bible for years, went to church practically every time the doors were open, and served Him by using my talent for singing in various types of music ministries. But I was deeply wounded and bound by so much trauma and drama that I didn't know how to get free from the pain and hardships associated with it.

But then one day at church I was invited to come to this 12 week class they called Freedom Ministry based on the same book we'll be studying.

The knowledge that I learned in this 12 week seminar was so powerful and amazing! And as I applied it to my life it changed me, healed me, and set me free from a lot of the negative emotions that I had been carrying around for years!

By applying the Biblical principles taught in this seminar I can honestly say that God saved my life and gave me a firm foundation of the truth to stand on, instead of the lies I was previously believing in.

I Found Freedom when I started applying what this course taught me and began forgiving people for all of these various offenses and also began to forgive myself for the mess I 'd made of my life. As I changed the old destructive ways I had been thinking and I began to be obedient to think God's way and do things God's way, I began to heal and get well.

Due to all of the years and different types of abuse I'd suffered from, and the negative emotions and the shame and guilt I felt from the bad choices I'd made, it's taken a while for me to get well. But as I continue to apply these truths to my life I finally reached the point where I can honestly say, 'I love myself, I accept myself, I'm okay, and I'm worthy of love!'

I still wrestle from the consequences that I have from the bad choices that I made that left a trail of wreckage in their path - especially in my children's hearts. But I know without a doubt that God is faithful to help me heal from all of my failures and wounds, and from the ways I've fallen short of His glory as long as I am willing to surrender myself to His ways. And, He's capable of helping my children to heal also if they seek Him. So, I'm very thankful that our God is a loving God, and one who rewards those who seek Him!

Ever since then I have been passionate to teach this information from the Word of God - (WHICH IS THE TRUTH) to others in hopes to be an agent of hope from the Lord God Almighty by the power and authority of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and my testimony.

As I hear myself saying these things I've just told you about I can honestly say that I can't even believe I survived all the things I have! But the BEST part is that I am healed and set free from all of the pain associated from all of those things because I submitted myself to God and He healed me! Hallelujah!

John 8:32

Jesus said, "IF you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. THEN you will know the TRUTH and THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!!

Art's Testimony

The man who wrote the book that this study is based on is Dr. Art Mathias. The Book is titled appropriately: Biblical Foundations of Freedom. He is the founder of Wellspring Ministry in Anchorage, Alaska, which is a world-wide ministry and this book is written in 13 languages. Everyone on the face of the earth will benefit from this teach

Art’s testimony is a little different than mine in that his healing was more physical than mine. He wrote this book after having an onset of devastating illnesses that became life-threatening after wrecking his snowmobile in Anchorage. I encourage you to read more about what happened to Art in the Preface section of your book. If you do not have a book you can go to my website lightforlifethruchrist.org and click on the RECORDING LIBRARY page and listen to Art’s testimony in the Week 1 Kick off the 12 week season of the seminar video. The 2nd half of that same video sheds light on the Ministry of Jesus.

In 1999, Art was healed of a disease called Environmental Illness. He had become allergic to most foods and couldn’t eat many foods without having serious stomach pain and he was allergic to his clothing fibers, which felt like glass to his skin. He said he went to the elders and had hands laid on him for healing but he wasn’t healed. He firmly believed that God could heal him, but he was not healed. Why not he wondered?
As he continued his efforts to find healing he came to understand that God could not heal him without violating His holy nature, because of his unrepentant sin. Does this statement shock you?

Art reasoned; Why should God bless us if we choose to disobey Him? Deuteronomy 28 and many other passages graphically lay out the blessings of obedience and the curses, or consequences, of disobedience. In these curses are listed all the diseases of mankind. Disease is the result of sin. Either Adam’s or our own. We live in a fallen world, and scripture says there will be infirmities because of the fall.

Before sin entered the world there were no diseases. As Art went before God and dealt with his sins of unforgiveness and resentment, and cast out the spirit of fear, God was faithful: He healed him! He produced a radical change in his health that was obvious to many people. He had changed physically, and people saw a difference in his appearance. As he shared his story, he encouraged others to study and apply Biblical principles to their own lives. They were healed of allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and many other diseases. As the months passed he became inundated with requests from people wanting help. Art didn’t know how to respond because he was new to the concept of a healing ministry, however, he knew that he could not turn these people away so he established Wellspring Ministries to help these people apply these powerful, healing Biblical principles to their own lives, just as he had done. And that is why I’m here teaching you today!! 😊

We pray that God will use this book to change lives by restoring a right relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Most of us do not understand what sin is and we’ve become immune to sin, so that we don’t understand that sin in our lives separates us from God. God called each of us to be holy and set apart. We are to be in this world, but not of it. Sadly, many of us are “leavened” by the things of this world. Then we wonder why God’s power is not evident in our lives and our churches.

Jesus did three things while He was on the earth: He cast out demons by His word, and He laid hands on the sick and healed them. And then He laid down His life to forever free us from the bondage of sin. In Mark 16, and other passages, Jesus told us (and continues to tell us) that after His ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit we should do these same things.

If we apply the principles of sanctification taught in the New Testament, then the power of God will be evident in our lives and churches! 😊

At Wellspring Ministries, we’ve seen God heal many people all over the world from all kinds of diseases, including migraine headaches, reflux, heart disease, ovarian cancer and have seen people set free from fears, phobias, fear-driven lives, and mental illnesses including multiple personalities, depression, and so on.

Jesus healed all of these people. He alone will heal you because He’s not a respecter of persons. What He will do for one, He will do for another, IF we meet His requirements or conditions.

What is the status of your current relationship with Jesus? Are you separated from Him in any way? How do you feel about God the Father? Is He a loving, caring God or does He carry a big stick, ready to punish you? Do you really believe He’s the giver of every good and perfect gift? That’s what the Bible says in James 1:17. Do you believe that if it is not god and perfect it cannot be from God?

How do you relate to others? Are your relationships with members of your family or others fractured?

How do you feel about yourself? Do you love yourself? God teaches that you need to love yourself before you can reach out to love others in Matthew 22:37-40. It is in broken relationships that most of our problems and many of our diseases take root. Spending time studying this book and applying its life-transforming truths will help free you from these diseases. Art guarantees that you will walk closer with God, heal relationships with others, and find how to walk worthy of the high calling of Jesus Christ. (Colossians 1:10 and 1 Thessalonians 2:12)

Here-in this book and this Bible Study is shared knowledge and understanding to change your life by bringing you closer to God and by providing you the tools to change your life, heal your diseases and restore wounded relationships! And it’s not hard, it’s really quite simple, if you are willing.

So let’s get started! 😊
