false 199753 6 <p>From chronic physical pain to deep emotional hurts, we are all, at some level, in need of healing. And healing, writes author Stephen Arterburn, is a choice, although not our choice-it is <em>God's</em> choice. While that may lead us to understand that healing is out of our hands, there are several things we do or believe that can stand in the way of God's healing in our lives.</p> <p>Describing ten choices we can make, and the corresponding ten lies that we must reject, Arterburn outlines the plan for opening our lives to God's divine touch. For example, to be receptive to God's healing, we must make the choice to <em>feel</em>; but we often buy into the lie that we need something to help numb the pain. Likewise, we can choose to <em>embrace reality</em>; but we often falsely believe that if we act as if nothing is wrong, the problem will go away.</p> <p>Healing on all levels-spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical-is a miraculous gift from God; but it is a function of our own decisions and beliefs as well. When we make the right choices, and reject the lies, we can find the way to wholeness again.</p> 248535 13 9 2005 Healing Is a Choice: 10 Decisions That Will Transform Your Life and 10 Lies That Can Prevent You From Making Them total:28|5:7|4:11|3:8|2:2| 28 107 54 5 0 0 false false Wed Feb 25 21:03:51 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 21:06:02 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Oct 21 14:15:50 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 14:30:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat May 24 18:07:42 -0700 2008 Sat May 24 18:09:27 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Feb 26 06:31:06 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 06:32:30 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 13:47:26 -0800 2008 Fri Aug 21 12:28:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 12:18:46 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 12:18:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 13:15:45 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 13:18:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 24 17:39:31 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 17:39:31 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 23 03:10:51 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 03:10:51 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Sep 12 14:39:15 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 14:39:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 17 11:44:21 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 11:44:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 05 22:04:04 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 22:04:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 05 19:08:42 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 19:08:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jun 29 08:31:37 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 08:31:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 15 18:52:09 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 18:52:09 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jun 07 08:05:17 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 08:05:23 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 21 15:11:45 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 15:11:45 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu May 21 11:53:38 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 11:53:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 08 22:15:21 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 22:15:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 30 13:28:03 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 13:28:03 -0700 2009
