Who is Life Awakening?

Life Awakening is a Christian-based 501(c)3 that helps people to identify and remove every inside work of the enemy that has hindered them from becoming who God designed and created them to be. By removing the sin and pain carried inside, people are able to reach their personal destiny to build God’s Kingdom here on earth.

Our starting point is the recognition that all people (usually as children) take in or swallow painful feelings and beliefs in their journey through life. We call these destructive feelings and mindsets “buttons”. As time progresses, those buttons pile up and can keep a person from discovering and fulfilling their personal design and even their destiny. A real button can be accidentally swallowed and then eliminated precisely because it is separate and not part of the person. Likewise, painful feelings and beliefs are also separate from a person, something else, and can be eliminated, too.

To this end, we teach and train Paul’s instructions to “put off the old” and “put on the new” through first identifying and connecting to the buttons. One can then “put off” (get rid of) those old buttons which are painful and destructive. Once “put off”, one can then “put on the new” which is the Holy Spirit’s ministry of healing and building one up where there was damage. This can be done because believers have authority in Christ over every work of the enemy, which buttons surely are.

God's Mandate

an abbreviated version of…

GOD'S MANDATE FOR THE CHURCH

to lead believers into victory and abundant life, free from sin, pain, and heartache

Question: How are you, your fellow believers, members of your church, and even your colleagues in ministry and at work, doing in terms of experiencing victory over sin, and the pain and heartache that accompanies it?

Answer: Be honest…how does it really look? Could it be better? Much better? What is the problem?

We at Life Awakening believe that God has a Mandate for us, His Church. He wants us to take a front and center role in helping one another to learn to “put off the old” and “put on the new”, and thereby walk in victory through our union with Christ, ruling over the sin and pain that besets and/or tempts us. But we also believe that there has been a “missing link” in the application of the Gospel to gain that victory. While the Church and even Christian counseling have been very strong in teaching the “putting on” of our new identity (putting on truth, righteousness, victory, etc.), we have been weak in teaching believers how to first “put off” the old. Though Jesus’ victory over sin and pain IS a once and done atonement, our individual victory as believers is rarely a once and done event but, rather, a “working out of our salvation”. The “putting off” of old beliefs, old habits, old works of the enemy, must always precede the full “putting on” of glory, just as we cannot put on our new party garb without first removing our dirty work clothes and taking a shower. Part of the Good News, though, is that the “putting off” is not done by trying harder or working harder but, rather, by identifying the old junk we are carrying and “putting it off” through our authority in Christ.

The Gospel Process and other Tools from the Life Awakening Toolkit equip believers to do just that! We teach believers the overlooked necessity of and the know-how of “putting off” old sin and pain before “putting on” our glory garb. There is not life without first death. There is not glory without suffering. We must follow in Jesus’ footsteps and become “familiar with grief” by embracing our sin and pain, dying to it, and burying it, all of which is a “working out” (sweat and tears) of our salvation BEFORE we can enjoy the beautiful resurrection that we have in Christ.

Life Awakening also emphasizes the exciting news that the Gospel is more than sufficient for setting us free. It is still the best answer! Sadly, in the absence of seeing victory, we have seen the Church look for something other than, or beyond, the Gospel for answers. The Church has often turned to “professionals” rather than other believers, to degrees rather than to Holy Spirit, to psychology models rather than to the power of the blood, to “cope” with sin and wounds rather than to overcome them. These changes have eroded and diminished the power of the Gospel by managing and reducing sin and pain, rather than doing away with them by confessing, repenting, and renouncing using the power and authority of one’s union with Christ.

We as a ministry are delighted and excited to bring the Gospel Process and other Tools in our Toolkit to the Church in the hopes of addressing that “missing link” for victory. Please explore the fuller Mandate located in our Resources Tab as well as our Toolkit with teachings and trainings on getting victory over sin and pain, located in our Training Tab. We truly can become that sinless, spotless bride ready for Jesus’ second coming!
