“He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers or else I will come and strike the land with a curse,” (Malachi 4:6).
Over the past few years there has been a renewed interest in the person, function and role of the father. It has become readily apparent that there is a distinct necessity to restore the masculine image. This course examines how the father image has been destroyed in individual lives, and describes how to rebuild a proper father image. You will also come to truly understand God the Father in a deeper perspective, and develop a more intimate relationship with Him.
I thought the most judicious way to discuss generational patterns was to examine the model of my own family life and be willing to uncover some of the skeletons in my own family closet. My personal family history mirrors the world’s system, illustrating poor patterns of development and satanic strongholds which can enter into a family’s tree and create debilitating problems and dysfunctional life patterns.
Using this approach, I believe you will come to understand the theological and psychological patterns for reconciliation – in the relationship with ourselves and God, and with one another. There is hope for the family in that I have found that the restoration and rebuilding of the father image is possible; if we are willing to walk the difficult route of being vulnerable. That is; being willing to face ourselves as we really are, and allow the Lord by His Word to transform us according to His pattern.
This course will trace the ways we develop destructive patterns within our family life, and then clearly present the dynamic process of developing new patterns which will lead to liberty and victory in Christ!
