AWM Getting Beyond the Effects of Violence & Abuse Counseling Recovery Program: Complete Series - 10/1/13 to 1/28/14

The "AWM Violence & Abuse Recovery Program: Getting Beyond the After Effects of Violence & Abuse" which is a part of our "Tools for Triumphant Living" Christian Education Program which was developed by Pastor Charlana Kelly);" this is a re-post of the teaching from October 1, 2013 to January 28, 2014. The purpose of the Program is to help those who are recently out of abusive relationships or is still struggling with the effects from previous abuse. In this recovery program, I will help you through your recovery process one step at a time; this is a program God gave me and I am giving it to you as He gave it to me. The "AWM Violence & Abuse Recovery Program" is also an interactive Program just like the "AWM Importance of Forgiveness Recovery Program;" therefore, if you respond to me I will respond to you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss whatever part of the teaching you want either via email to me directly(drdehooks@abusedwoman.org), on the Recovery For Abused Women web site, on the Abused Woman Ministries, Inc. main Facebook page or on the Abused Woman Ministry School of Healing Facebook page.

This program is part of “Journey of Freedom: Pursuing Freedom From The Bondage of Traumatic Experiences" which is a declaration for 2013 and beyond that you are going to continually pursue your freedom from whatever that has had you in bondage for years, recently, or at present!! Continually pursuit of your freedom means that you will stay free by any means necessary!! You will no longer tolerate foolishness of any kind!! You will rise up and by God's grace take back everything that the enemy has stolen from you (your self-esteem, your self-worth, your freedom to live life as God designed you to, your boldness God gave you through Jesus, and much, much more!! This year, 2013, is the beginning of your life and the best is yet to come!!! God has a plan and purpose for your life and I am your life coach; I am here to show you how to be set free from bondages so you can know and embrace God's will for your life!!

Abused Woman Ministries, Inc. is dedicated to helping women, their children and men who have been abused! We do this by providing them  with  the  tools they need  to recover from  the bondage of domestic violence and abuse. However, we know that domestic violence/abuse is not the only traumatic event that can keep a person from having a healthy relationship! Therefore, we will also focus on recovering from the following traumatic experiences in the "Journey of Freedom: Pursuing Freedom from the Bondage of Traumatic Experiences:" sexual assault, rejection, abandonment, neglect, loneliness and whatever other traumatic experience God gives me to include.

I am dedicated to walking with you (I cannot do it for you – I am an instrument that God is using to help you recover – as He gives me your tools of recovery, I give them to you then you must decide to take this journey) so are you dedicated to take the journey?

I understand you have busy schedules so I have broken the program down into smaller parts to accommodate your busy schedule and I will post the new teaching once a week on Tuesday – that way you will have a week to study it. And if you cannot start this Program now, start when you get ready to start; it will always be available on our Blog site: www.drdehooks.blogspot.com

The journey may not be easy but we are in this together and we will hold each other up; no person left behind!!! If you have any problems contact me directly!! God got you in the palm of His hand and nothing and nobody will be able to pluck you out!! God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!!Trust Him!!

Have the Faith of God: When You Pray!

I.  Introduction – Session I – Part 1

In September 2013, after years of waiting for something I “believed” would happen, fell through – again! I am not going to lie to you, I was shaken or should I say very shaken:)! I could not understand “Why?” but I thank God for just wrapping me in His arms, regardless of the fact that I was upset, and let me know He loved me! It amazed me that God still loved me in spite of me being upset; when I thought of how much He loved me, I broke down and begin to cry!! What a loving God!! This incident of God wrapping me in His love reminds me of another incident that happened to me years ago; I was at my lowest point and God reassured me of His love for me!! I felt God’s heart for me as I was going through one of the many abusive moments I have been through. God used my friend to tell me, in such a very compassionate way, that He knew what I was going through but I had to go through it at that time! I did not have a clue at the time why I had to go through it; God just told me I had to go through it! God did not tell me why I had to go through what I went through until 15 years later; He told me I went through the abuse not for myself but to help other abused women – God told me “Heal my women!” Oh, what a loving God we serve!

I repented to God for my behavior; my reaction to the disappointing news. The devil tried to get me to ask God “Why You allowed this when I have been waiting so long?” but thank God the Holy Spirit griped me and caused me to bring that thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (the Word)! I ask the Holy Spirit to filter my thoughts a lot; not to allow negative thoughts to get through Him no matter what!  Yes, I asked “Why” but I asked God in a way to understand not in an accusatory way and because of this, God gave me the answer to my “Why?” and His answer is the reason I am writing this message.

Complete Anger & You Quiz Below First Before “Learn Proper & Improper Ways to Respond to Anger:”

 Anger & You Quiz Discussion – Part 2C (Continued):
 
The answers are all false on the “Anger & You” quiz; does this surprise you? Many people have misconceptions about anger. Did you know that “anger” for many, many years (probably before most of us were born or grown up) was the only socially permissible and acceptable emotion for a man to show (men was taught to be cold-hearted and not to show emotions; boys don’t cry). If a man showed any other emotion, they were labeled as “weak-not a real man.” In some homes, cultures, and countries, this is still believed today. Wow! No wonder there is so much domestic violence in the home. This belief seed was planted long ago by the enemy to destroy families.


You thought that was something, listen to this: for women it was the opposite - it was the only socially unacceptable emotion - “nice girls don’t get angry.” The enemy was setting the women up to allow men to totally dominate them; by any means necessary. Adam’s disobedience opened up Pandora’s Box. It opened the door for every evil thing we can and cannot imagine; no wonder God does not want us to walk in disobedience - He says it’s the same sin as witchcraft.


Expressions of Anger
- Anger becomes a problem when it is expressed in a way that hurts you or hurts others; or when it is the only feeling you allow yourself to experience. You must be able to identify destructive behaviors caused by anger and clarification of description of any. Here is a list of destructive behaviors that anger can cause if not dealt with properly:
                   -Physically abusing others
                   -Emotionally abusing others
                   -Breaking personal items
                   -Breaking people’s possessions
- We must examine ourselves if we truly want to combat anger.

Open in prayer – Pray what’s on your heart

Discussion Goal: to explain the God given emotion, anger.

 

1. Summarize what we learned from Session One – Part 2A  - Mar 18, 2014

During this Session, we are going to define anger and its causes:

 

Four Classes of Anger Defined:

Webster’s definition of Anger: 1) a feeling of extreme displeasure, hostility, indignation or exasperation toward someone or something; rage, wrath. 2) Trouble, pain, and affliction.

 

1. Resentment – ill will and suppressed anger generated by a sense of grievance.
   
    
2. Anger – a feeling of extreme displeasure, hostility, indignation or exasperation toward someone or something; rage, wrath. 2) Trouble, pain, and affliction (as stated above).
   
    
3. Rage – closely related to the sense of intense, un-contained, explosive emotion. Rage appears to be more justified by circumstances. For example, when one feels indignation at seeing the mistreatment of someone or something dear and worthy.
   
    
4. Fury – more destructive
   
    
5. Wrath - fervid anger that seeks vengeance or punishment on a large scale.
   
     

What Makes Us Angry? – Part 2B (Continued)

• Hurt (usually from the past) – childhood experiences – emotional, physical, sexual abuse, adolescence experiences (this is when satan really begin to play with your mind by feeding you lies about yourself and others), also, hurts can come from adult experiences such as job, marriage, and relationships.

• Frustration (usually in the present) – examples:

           - Something does not go your way

           - You can’t do something you want to do when you want to do it

           - Can’t watch what you want on TV

           - You want to take a shower but there is no water

           - You want to be alone but people will not leave you alone

• Fear or Anxiety – we feel threatened or anxious

           - Fear – you are threatened physically or emotionally. This can also be you are afraid  

             you will be made to look like a fool.


           - Anxiety – you anticipate a problem as if it had already happened. Anxiety is a 

             disturbed state of mind produced by real or imaginary fears. It is overcame by

             trusting in God (Ps 37:1-5 – read); prayer (Phil. 4:6); God’s care (1 Peter 5:6, 7).

Review Previous Session:



-Biblical References to Anger



-Anger is the second most frequently mentioned emotion in Scripture; mentioned more than 455 times in the Old Testament with 375 of those referring to God’s anger; God get angry with us when we disobey Him.



-Anger is a God-given emotion, and is one of the most powerful and controlling of all the emotions. When anger is not properly dealt with, it is one of the most dangerous.

-God gave us anger as an emotion, but He also gave us instructions on how to handle, express, or control it. Some scriptures on Anger: 

• Proverbs 15:1 – “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger (this shows angry is already in you).”

 

• Proverbs 16:32 – “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”

 

• Proverbs 19:19 – “Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty. If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again.”(If we rescue impatient friends from their problems once, we will probably rescue them again and again). Read rest from bible.

• Matthew 5:43-48 – “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. ⁴⁴But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! ⁴⁵In that way, you will be acting as true           children of your Father in heaven. For He gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. ⁴⁶If you love only those who love you, what rewards is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. ⁴⁷If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. ⁴⁸But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”    

• Romans 12:19 – “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord.”

• Ephesians 4:26 – “Be angry, and do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your wrath.”

• James 1:19,20 – “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man swift  to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not     produce the righteousness of God.

-Anger is not the problem. The problem is how we handle or express our anger. An unhealthy expression of anger is Sin.



-In the above Scriptures, it tells us how to handle and not to handle anger so we will not sin when we get angry.



-An appropriate or productive use of anger is when Jesus became angry at the money changers and the Pharisees. An inappropriate or unproductive use of anger was in the Garden of G when Peter became angry at the soldiers when they came to arrest Jesus and cut one of their ears off; he sinned by using violence when he was angry.
