Weekly Devotional for Week of December 12, 2010

[Rev. Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

Hello Everyone,

This week concludes the “Fasting from Wrong Thinking” series; well done, we finished. I pray that you were blessed and that your mindset has changed; you can always go through it again – as many times as you like. There are other “Fasting from Wrong Thinking” series from Pastor Dickow on his web site: http://fromtheinsideout.us/index.php; check them out.

We are going to end the weekly teachings and devotionals for this year and begin after the new year. In the meantime, I will be seeking God as to what He wants me to bring to you next. Also, give me some topics that you’ll want to discuss or you want to see taught. Remember, this is not a “one person’s show,” this recovery group is for your benefit; to help you in whatever area of your lives that need healing or more understanding of something. Give me some feedback because this is not something I do just to do, I want to make sure you are getting blessed and empowered; if this is not the case, then I need to change what I am teaching.

I don’t use the term empowered loosely; you must understand, every time I teach you what God tell me to teach you, you are gaining skills and knowledge that will motivate you to take the necessary steps to move forward in your life. Empowerment does not happen overnight; it is a process, a journey that we all will be on until Jesus come. As I empower you, God empowers me so I will be able to continually empower others.

Therefore, please go to the tab “Forum” on my Ning site (www.abusedwoman.ning.com) and start a discussion to leave your comments about the Weekly Devotionals and other teachings we have studied this year.

I pray that you and your family have a blessed and prosperous Holiday Season. And I am excited about what God has in store for you in the upcoming year.

Shalom,
Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks
