Hi, this is Natalie Hoffman of Flying Free Now, and you're listening to the Flying Free

podcast, a support resource for Women of Faith, looking for hope and healing from hidden

emotional and spiritual abuse.

Welcome to episode 54 of the Flying Free Podcast. In this episode I want to talk about a problem.

The problem is this. Many of us have become ghosts of ourselves.

God created us to be these multi-dimensional colorful beans made in his image

to fulfill his purpose for our lives, you know, to be Queens in this world, and we have become fearful

ghosts. We're afraid. We're afraid of people. We're afraid.

afraid of people, we're afraid of what might happen, we're afraid of what others think about

us.

And when you're a ghost, there isn't much substance or strength to you is there so you become an easy

target for predators to pray on this isn't right that we are ghosts it's not our destiny in Jesus Christ that's the

enemy's goal for us because when we're ghosts our power to fulfill God's purpose

is neutralized so let's talk about eternity for just a minute. When I think

about eternity I think maybe it will be like the scene in the Wizard of Oz

where Dorothy leaves the dull, dry colorless world of Kansas and enters into the vibrant,

bright, alive, energetic, colorful world of Oz. That's what I imagine it will be like to enter eternity.

Now let's think about Jesus Christ. I imagine that while now he lives in a spirit form and the essence of who we are and he lives in

our mind's eye in an imagination kind of way, in eternity face to face, we're going to be amazed to see his reality, to experience all of his

bright dimensions.

It's like comparing something solid to something ethereal or ghost-like.

When Jesus came to this earth, he brought the solidness of God down to this planet.
