Conversation with Marash Barth

Amazing Snippets from Marsha – Meditate on these Guest Quotes to see the useful wisdom that might come from God’s voice and resonate with your heart and be implemented today on your journey.

Somewhere you have to leave the victim, first you’ve got to deal, to heal, to feel. You have to deal with your issues to be able to feel again and then to go on to heal.
Through the journey of healing we go from abused, to victim, to survivor, to overcomer, to conquer, and then to victor and that is the joy of the journey.
We are not defined but what has happened to us and He is not the cause of what has happened to us, but He is the solution and restoration of what is before us.
I count the cost. You have to go back and look at what you’ve lost. You’ve got to give that hurt, pain, or and loss that you’ve had to God.
Once we walk the salvation route, it seems like quit communicating to God our true hurt, our true pain. And if we go that far, very few people give Him their anger.
If we really believe this God that we are talking about, then we begin to learn the process of surrendering to Him. Surrendering to him our heart, hopes, dreams, hurt, pain, anger, unforgiveness, control and we begin to surrender, full surrender equals full victory. People are not walking in a victorious life because they haven’t fully surrendered.
I have often heard people say “if you want to get rid of your anger, you have to forgive.” I look at them and say, “no, if you want to forgive, you have to get rid of your anger.”

Key Points Discussed:

Marsha’s story of childhood abuse
Christians often relabel their hurt/loss and anger – not good
Churches too often do not provide enough help for dealing with hurt, loss, and anger
Anger provides a false sense of power to overcome loss
Surrendering to a God who is real and cares
Choices that the Abused, the Victim, the Survivor make that leads one to either be a
- Revenger, Retaliator, Abuser or
- Overcomer, Conqueror, Victor

Epiphany or Miracle Story

Marsha’s son’s miraculous story of recovery and restoration when he stopped breathing.

Take-Away Wisdom that leads to action today:

- Anger > Joy
- Pain > Rest
- Unforgiveness > Peace
