Seeds in the Desert

By Renee Olivier Faul

Each message in this book comes from the heart of the author who has learned that it is not the circumstances of life, but the lies of the enemy, the father-of-lies, that has the power to destroy the human heart. This degrading process happens through deception-through subtle, negative, destructive beliefs of abandonment, shame, rejection, and condemnation. These oppressing beliefs, in turn, make a person feel guilty, hopeless, and worthless. It is an endless circle that leads nowhere. But, for each negative, destructive belief that bombards the mind there is an answer-Grace, Hope, and Worth through the Person of Jesus Christ, God's Son. The Perfect Father sent His only Son into the world to redeem those who believe from the deception of the father-of-lies. He sent the Spirit of Truth to lead those who are willing onto a new path of Truth that renews the mind and sets the captives of deception free. As a result, the believer has the opportunity to experience Peace, Joy, and Confidence in place of turmoil, depression, and fear. Instead of empty meaninglessness, there is the promise of a fulfilling Purpose. When one learns to follow the Truth, each seed that was sown in the desert starts to sprout, turning shame into Acceptance, abandonment into Belonging, condemnation into Honor, and rejection into Approval. "For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations" (Isaiah 61:11).
