Heaven Heals: (By Understanding Abraham's Covenant)

By Kristin Landgren

Most people spend more time gazing into the refrigerator or planning a vacation than they do confronting their health concerns or planning their own happiness. But without understanding, life slips through their fingers, as fear & confusion steals their future. They are already defeated – they just don’t know it.
It doesn’t have to be this way. People who have found their healing, have found their happiness. Unfortunately, most of the world doesn’t know how to heal, or how to help you heal. You must unlock the door to your own recovery.

In this book, insights are discovered by understanding God’s covenant with Sarah & Abraham and its benefit to you. This reveals a simple method for finding clarity, undergoing healing, and realizing your purpose in every day living. So, get ready to:

Live the happy life, defined by your purpose and God-given empowerment, and
learn to share your uniqueness
& exceptionalism with the world!

Preface

As every reader knows, adversity, even the daily struggle, can sometimes make for difficulties. Ideally, everyone has experienced warm and fulfilling relationships that make the journey a discovery of joy. Even though life bruises the spirit along the way, who hasn’t stared eagerly at the stars, hoping for inspiration to questions or concerns, or gazed boldly across the ocean’s grandeur, yearning for excitement and adventure, or courageously imagined what majesty lies beyond the horizon and if dreams are truly achievable. What if heaven is closer than imagined or more accessible than believed? And what if pain and sadness can be soothed with the reality of Love and Power that is absolute, even palpable? It is with these thoughts and emotions this book’s material is presented, and with the intent that hope breeds faith, perspective increases knowledge, experience achieves greatness, and relationships propel eternity.

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:

The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star

Hath had elsewhere its setting

And cometh from afar:

Not in entire forgetfulness

And not in utter nakedness

But trailing clouds of glory do we come

From God, who is our home:

Heaven lies about us in our infancy!

(lines 58–66)

Chapter 1: The Bible

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times ¹. OK, ok, Charles Dickens’ renowned words were used in relating a tale of two European cities during the French Revolution. But those words seem as applicable today in their description of a modern tale of evil, which seems to be intensifying against that which has always been recognized as good. In the 21st century, bountiful evidence of the best of times, is observed in
