DivorceHope Newsletter, February 4, 2006

From: Stephen Gola

Our Dear Family,

We want you to know just how much we care about you. We pray for you almost daily and bring you up to God throughout the day. You are always on our hearts. We ask God to impart in you strategies, wisdom and understandings in order for you to make the right decisions in your relationships. Without receiving from God in our everyday decision making process, we are domed to continually walk in darkness and make terrible mistakes. But as we walk in Him, there is no chance of even stumbling — Amen!

Today, we would like to share (connect you with) our ministry friends. They can contribute greatly to your life through what the Lord has called and trained them in. But before we do, we would like to share a significant teaching — actually, a new part of an existing one with you.

1) You know the struggles most have in understanding God’s “unconditional” love in relationships and why that love is “conditional” as well? Should we “unconditionally love” while being abused? God has given us the answer! It is so powerful yet extremely simple. Even a child can teach it in a PhD course in college. It all has to do with RELATIONSHIP: “Non-relationship love” is unconditional. “Relationship love” is conditional. Here is a brief excerpt:

God’s “non-relationship love” is what unconditionally draws us as “sinners”… God’s “relationship love” is what conditionally offers us as “His children” an intimate relationship with God … This was added to the top section of the teaching: God's (“Unconditional”) Love: It's Moral Its Conditional at http://www.divorcehope.com/loveofgodisloveunconditionally.htm. You can download it free.

2) Now for our Ministry friends: We would like to introduce Tom and Diane Hawkins of Restoration in Christ Ministries. Tom and Diane specialize in bringing those who have been deeply traumatized and victim survivors to wholeness. They specialize is DID (MPD) where the soul splits to protect the person from suffering extreme damage during traumatic encounters. You can visit them at http://www.rcm-usa.org/ or give them a call at their office in Virginia at 1- 540-249-9119. The Hawkins also do special training seminars across North America (and I believe oversees) to equip Professionals and church leadership. (The Hawkins only work with individuals in need of treatment when a therapist is involved.) Those of you who are professional counselors and church leaders, consider inviting them to your practice or church. You won’t be disappointed.

3) For our United Kingdom and European Family, we would like to introduce you to Adannaya (pronounced: A-dan-ya) and Matthew Chobbah of Relationship Enrichment and Restoration Ministry. You can visit Adannaya at http://www.Adannaya.net/ or give her a call at 44 778 219 5545 in Oxford England. For all of you who get Passion TV, Sky Channel 183, you can watch and participate in Relationships With Adannaya Television Show at 7pm every Saturday. She will teach you how to work through difficult relationship situations.

Be sure to tell Tom & Diane Hawkins and Adannaya & Matthew Chobbah that you heard about them from us at DivorceHope. They would appreciate it.

4) If you are a Minister or Church Leader and truly do train the people, or a Counseling Professional, we want to join up with you and make your Church or Counseling Services available to our ever-increasing Family. Many look for skilled godly therapist and church families that will not condemn them as they work through life draining issues. God has called us to roll-up our sleeves to support and help “love” one another. Also, we would like to send you a free copy of Divorce: God’s Will? as well as a CD with related teachings. So please get in contact with us at comments(at)divorcehope.com and mention this newsletter offer.

Again our dear Family, as we bring this Newsletter to a close we want you to know we love you and pray for you often. If any of you have suggestions we would like to hear them. We pray about everything and see what the Lord wants us to do.

God is already dealing with me about another teaching that when we believe that divorce is a sin in itself, the foundation of our decision-making process (relating to marriage, divorce and remarriage) is wrong and faulty. We will not make correct decisions because we are basing our decisions on a lie rather than the Truth. Till then…

Be sure to pray for us. Serving you all—the King’s Kids,

Your brother and sister, Stephen Gola
