The Missing Piece - Depression Part IV
As I shared in my last teaching, I did not know at the time
I was battling depression and self-destructive thoughts
that there was one last piece to my healing that would
eventually set me free. (See Lights, Camera, Action from
my last teaching). You will not find this last piece in a
Doctor’s office. …cont'

Lights, Camera, Action! - Depression Part III
I remember so clearly one day in 1985 sitting on my couch
in the living room and leaning over to pick up something
from the carpet, when a very harmful, self-destructive
thought came to me. I had had these thoughts off and on
since my hospital stay and when they came, they brought
with them very powerful emotions that were difficult…cont'

Talking to God Creates a Path-Depression Part II
I was watching a television talk show recently in which
addictions and how to overcome them were being discussed.
When the host of the show stated in a strong voice that you
couldn’t pray your way out of addictions, I wanted to stand
up and s-c-r-e-a-m at the top of my lungs, “Yes, you can,
and I am living proof!”...cont'

How I Overcame Depression and You Can, Too!
I remember looking out my bedroom window in the early
1980’s and thinking out loud, “Will I ever be able to wake
up in the morning without being depressed?” Each night as
I drifted off to sleep, I dreaded waking up in the morning.
Every morning began with a decision to live and every
night seemed to end in frustration and failure...cont'

You Can Hear the Voice of God - Part III
Whose voice is it, anyway? Is it my voice, God’s
voice, the Devil’s voice or is it the voice of my childhood - my mother, father, aunts and uncles? Then there’s the voice of my friends and the voice of my enemies. And, oh yes, we must not forget the voice of the tv, radio, magazines and the ever ringing telephone. So many voices! So many ways to go!...cont'

You Can Hear the Voice of God - Part II
Remember in my last teaching, I left you with three
ways that God speaks to us? And these were: through His
Word: the Bible, by His Spirit: the Holy Spirit which was
sent to us when Jesus died and rose again (which, by the
way, we must each personally receive), and by His
Providences: God’s care and help as experienced through
circumstances. When all three of these ways are...cont'

You Can Hear The Voice of God - Part I
Over the years, I have been told so many times, “Forshia,
you seem to hear God’s voice so clearly.” Well, I’m surely
not without error, but it has been the greatest desire of
my life - to hear God’s voice and to yield to Him. Because
of the many problems I faced in those early years, I was
desperate to find answers. I did find them as I learned to listen and...cont'

Golden Keys to God's Kingdom Way - Part III
Golden Key #1: The Kingdom of God is Different...Although
operating in this Kingdom realm does not come naturally to
us, God gives us His power through the Holy Spirit to do
this.
Golden Key #2: The Kingdom of God is Peace...Worry is a
form of fear and control. We must give up the fear that
things may not turn out all right. Trust is a key...cont'

Golden Keys to God's Kingdom Way - Part II
It is important that you remember that the Kingdom of God
is a method or a way, not a place you try to get to. Jesus
shows us in many ways and illustrations, that the ‘method’
or the ‘way’ to have true and lasting life, is to
understand and follow God’s ‘way.’...cont'

Golden Keys to God's Kingdom Way - Part 1
All through the New Testament, especially in the Gospels of
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, reference is made time and
time again about the Kingdom of God. In these Gospels,
Jesus shares simple, but profound parables about what this
Kingdom is like...cont'

Breaking Negative Family Cycles - Part III
This will be the last teaching on Breaking Family Cycles.
Let’s review, again, the previous six principles.
Principle #1: I Must Admit My Part In the Cycle
Taking responsibility for our part in a negative family
cycle, no matter how small, can be just enough to start the
change.
Principle #2: I must believe that God wants change...cont'

Breaking Negative Family Cycles - Part II
Before we continue, let me recap briefly, the previous
three principles:
Principle #1: I must admit my part in the cycle...
Taking responsibility for our part in a negative family
cycle, no matter how small, can be just enough to start the

Breaking Negative Family Cycles - Part 1
Let me give you a brief synopsis on my background so you
will have no mistake about some of the negative things I
have had to overcome. I have been married two previous
times, first to an alcoholic and second to a supposedly
reformed drug addict/ex-convict...cont'
