The Writing Room: "Inner Healing (Ways That Lead to My Healing)"

Welcome to the 6th episode of The Writing Room, a Quellen original podcast created to share the words and teachings of George Miley.

In this episode, George continues our series on inner healing by teaching through the second half of chapter 7 in his book, Maturing Toward Wholeness In The Inner Life. In part one, we learned about the things that result in us being wounded. But thankfully, God doesn’t leave us in our pain. He gives tools for healing. He doesn’t just command us to do things that our wounding blocks us from doing. He leads us into lives of wholeness.

The Writing Room: "Jesus As Master Teacher"

Welcome to The Writing Room, a Quellen original podcast created to share the words and teachings of George Miley.

In this episode, we hear a teaching from George that was originally recorded in 2011. Entitled "Establishing Jesus As Master Teacher For All of Life", this 45-minute lesson was a part of a series that eventually became the foundation for his book, Maturing Toward Wholeness In The Inner Life.

Jesus came to earth bringing new information about how human life works. It surpassed anything his hearers had heard, and it catalyzed a movement of love, joy and meaning that permeated the Roman Empire even as the political power tried brutally to stamp it out. We miss Jesus if we limit what he taught to "religion". 

In order to experience the life-transforming power of Jesus, we must first establish him as the master teacher for all of life.

Healing the Wounds of History

Healing the Wounds of History

How is Christ's glory revealed upon Gentile Nations (Isaiah 60:2)? One way is by force—at the 2nd coming. But force is not God's preferred way. The second way is by grace—as God heals wounds caused by sin, imbedded in history, through grace-empowered actions of God's people. Here are four components of such ways with stories connected with healing wounds of the Holocaust.

Can Outward Circumstances Produce Joy?

Can Outward Circumstances Produce Joy?

Outward circumstances or events cannot produce abiding joy. Joy is a quality of the inner life. It grows within as we learn to live in God’s Presence. Love, joy and peace are experienced together. “Rejoice in the Lord always.”

My Behavior Reveals the Condition of My Inner Life

My Behavior Reveals the Condition of My Inner Life

The epistle of James can be understood as belonging to the literary genre of the wisdom literature of Israel. Written by a Messianic Jew, intended most probably for Messianic Jewish congregations beyond Palestine, it reflects Jewish thought patterns throughout. The overarching wisdom theme of the book: external behavior reveals the condition of the inner life.

When we focus on changing behavior directly (by will-power) we are focusing on the effects of the problem rather than on the root cause. Inner life is radically transformed by learning how to live in the Presence of Jesus. We learn this in discipleship with him. Behavior alteration follows.

Apostolic Ministry: Inner Healing for Apostolic Leaders

Unhealed places within us will find expression in our behavior. In this we can not only harm ourselves, but also others around us. The consequences are even greater in the case of leaders who have responsibility for others and enjoy wider influence. What are some main areas of wounding within? How can we seek healing from Jesus?

PART 2 OF 2
Foundational in Jesus' teaching: to access the new life he offers, I must first allow God to put my old self-life to death. The cross must precede the resurrection. Grasping on to my own damaged life only leads me deeper into despair. Laying it down in order to receive a new, Christ-life leads to pure joy.

Learning to honor my father and mother is crucial to my personal development. My heavenly Father chose my parents, and I must be able to trust that He has done well by me in all things. Honoring my parents does not mean denying their imperfections. There are no perfect parents; there are no perfect children. I learn to honor my parents in spite of imperfections—theirs and mine. Jesus teaches me how.

Sexuality (2 OF 2)

Sexuality (2 OF 2)

PART 2 OF 2
God created us male or female. He intended a man and woman to forge a “one-of-a-kind” intimacy of mutual and permanent commitment, caring, kindness, respect. God designed us with ability to express this unique intimacy physically. Sexual intimacy, in harmony with God's intention for me, is beautiful and fulfilling. Sexual acts that violate God's intention deeply violate and wound. What I do with my body affects my soul.

PART 3 OF 3
My need to be loved is so great that, initially, my capacity to love others is quite limited. Where did this neediness come from? I turned away from the all-competent Lover. God never stopped loving me; I stopped loving him. My need to be loved can only be met as I learn to live increasingly in God's Presence. Being with him, I experience his love. His love heals me. It begins to form a reservoir of love within me that I can pass on to my neighbor.

God created the human body good. But living in a rebellious, darkened world I have learned behaviors that are unlike God and thus damaging to me and others. Many are stored in my body as subconscious habits, negatively affecting my heart, soul, mind and relationships without me realizing it. I must now learn to access God's provision of grace to unlearn (put to death) destructive habits and replace them with behaviors I learn from Jesus.
