LMA Christ-Centered Recovery Group -- We Are All Recovering From Something.

Hey Everybody,

I want to wish all of you a wonderful New Year. Tomorrow is January 1, 2021, and we will begin another journey through the LMA Recovery Program, starting with the LMA 12-Steps.

Never forget that we all are recovering from something. LMA (Life More Abundant) is a Christ-Centered approach to recovery from a Trinitarian perspective. Take time to explore this program.

In 2021, we hope to publish an LMA Daily Devotional and an LMA Workbook to assist you in a more in-depth study of the LMA model of recovery. Please be in prayer about these projects. We hope to offer these recovery tools to alcohol/drug rehabs, churches, and ministries that might consider LMA a possible recovery model (just as many now use CR, Addicts4Christ, etcetera).

Read the following scriptures with me and reflect:

• John 14:20 (TPT): So when that day comes, you will know that I am living in the Father and that you are one with Me, for I will be living in you.

• John 14:20 (Mirror Bible): In that day, you will know that we are in seamless union with one another! I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you! (The incarnation does not divide the Trinity; the incarnation celebrates the redeemed inclusion of humanity! Picture 4 circles with the one fitting into the other - The outer circle is the Father, then Jesus in the Father, then us in Jesus and the Holy Spirit in us! This spells inseparable, intimate oneness! Note that it is not our knowing that positions Jesus in the Father or us in them or the Spirit of Christ in us! Our knowing simply awakens us to the reality of our redeemed oneness! Gold does not become gold when it is discovered, but it certainly becomes currency!)

• Acts 17:28 (TPT): It is through Him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, 'Our lineage comes from him.'

In Jesus,
