"I have found my walk with Yeshua has come leaps and bounds since learning from you guysβ¦"

From the Desk of Greg Kurjata β Edmonton, AB
When I was 20 years old I got saved.
And within a year and a half I sold everything I had and moved to Houston, Texas β because I wanted to experience the power of God. And to get away from all my problems.
But I told myself it was about the power of God.
Don't judge me... π
My problems followed me all the way to Texas. Bought a plane ticket and flew there to torment me.
See, before I gave my life to Jesus I wasn't a very good guy. Drugs, sex, rock 'n' roll, occult things β I did it all, and I carried a LOT of mental and emotional baggage.
And even though all of that was behind me now because of Jesus, the way I treated myself wasn't.
I had this bad habit of beating myself up in my mind. I'd berate, condemn, and demean myself until I felt like a pile of β you know what. And I couldn't seem to stop no matter how hard I tried.
And it wasn't the devil doing it to me. I was doing it to myself.
Can you relate to this?
Because here's what I've discovered after 42 years of teaching this.
I've been asking people the same two questions over and over again.
The first one is easy.
"Do you believe God loves you?"
98% say yes. Almost instantly. Some say it with a smile.
But I've learned to watch their eyes when I ask it. Because I can almost read their minds and see their toughts on their faces.
"God loves me because He has to β He's God. But I'm sure He doesn't love me very much because of all the things I'm doing wrong."
So then I ask the second question.
"Do you treat yourself the way God treats you?"
With tears some of them would say, "No. I don't treat myself anything like the way God treats me."
Only one in five said yes. That's 20%.
I couldn't hardly believe it at first. But it kept happening. Over and over and over again.
And if you're being honest right now, you're probably in that 80%.
You believe God loves you. You do. But most people never experience the transition from believing it to feeling it.
And there's a reason for that.
The thing blocking your transformation isn't the devil. It isn't your past. It isn't your sin.
It's something you do to yourself β every single day.
You're angry with yourself. You blame yourself for things that happened years ago β and things that happened this morning. You judge yourself. You condemn yourself. You criticize yourself for not being further along, not being stronger, not being better. You look in the mirror β not just physically, but spiritually β and you find yourself lacking.
And you do it automatically. Without even thinking about it. It's become as natural as breathing.
That is a negative self-image. And it is relentlessly working against everything God has already done for you.
It distorts how you see yourself.
It filters out the truth.
It keeps you locked in the same patterns no matter how much you pray, how much you read, or how deeply you believe.
And the worst part? Most people never connect the two. They keep asking God to change their circumstances while their own self-image cancels out everything He's trying to do.
Back then, nobody talked about this β but I want to tell you right now.
There's a way out of this. And it's simpler than you think. Let me show you how I found it.
In order to do that I need to tell you a true story.
One of the 'names of God' is Jehovah Sneaky because of what He did to me one day.
One day I went down the mental rabbit hole and was criticizing and condemning myself like a pro.
In the middle of it I asked God, "Well God, what do you think about me?"
Now, I was fully expecting Him to join in on what I was doing - but He didn't. This was when I learned He was Jehovah Sneaky
A thought the size of the state of Texas filled my mind, "I think you're wonderful!"
I didn't believe Him. How could I - He had to of known everything I had done? There's no way He could think I was wonderful.
Then on the third day β because His words were still reverberating in my mind β I changed the question.
"If God thinks I'm wonderful⦠what is He seeing in me that I'm missing?"
That question changed everything.
Because the answer wasn't complicated. It wasn't hidden. And it didn't require years of inner healing work to get there.
You copy God. You do exactly what He does to you β to yourself.
That's it. That's the method. When you start treating yourself the way God treats you β loving what He loves, accepting what He accepts, approving what He approves β you stop fighting Him and start moving with Him. And that's when everything shifts. Physically, spiritually, relationally. The results people report are nothing short of miraculous.
I've now taught this for 42 years. And it still works every single time.
