Two-Faced Coin: Series 1, #6

By ALICE LOGAN

We are tossed to and fro when we allow ourselves to live from the scars that are hidden in our hearts. We doubt; we question; we mistrust, and we hide in fear, not allowing our true selves to come forth, to experience the freedom of Christ. God wants to take away our scars so we can be free - so we can live through Him and not live through the pain of the past. We must be willing to accept healing instead of tossing a Two-Faced Coin, and be healed from the instability of our reactions that are based on fear, pain, and betrayal. Let us react through Him: through His grace, through His truth and through His love.

 

UPROOTING HIDDEN PAIN AND UNHEALED WOUNDS

ACKNOWLEDGING NEGATIVE ACTIONS AND REACTIONS

EXPOSING THE SPIRIT OF DOUBLE-MINDEDNESS

UNDERSTANDING OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST

BECOMING A SAFE PLACE FOR OTHERS…AND SO MUCH MORE!

 

The actions of another had caused a visible scar in my life that I had been living out of. Every day, I flipped my two-faced coin, deciding whether I would choose to feel safe or unsafe, trusting or untrusting. Would I be suspicious of others or open and welcoming to all? The scar had been exposed in order for me to live upon the clean and clear path the Lord had mapped out for me. I could no longer live through the scar. Healing had commenced.

 

There were situations from my past that I didn't want to talk about. I didn't want to bring awareness to them or acknowledge that they were even real. I'd been hurt and didn't want to re-enter those memories of pain. I had scars - scars that were not visible to the naked eye. But they were visible in my actions and in my reactions to others. I was unstable, allowing the flip of a coin to determine how I would react to whatever was in front of me. Whether I liked it or not, the pain hidden inside was now manifesting on the outside. God already saw it all, no matter how far down I pushed the pain. I couldn't conceal it from Him. He had already seen it and was waiting for me to bring it to Him so that He could do something about it. Only He could heal the scars, take away the pain and filter my actions through His love, His mercy and His grace. I would surrender to Him my Two-Faced Coin, now basing my decisions on the truth of His Word. No longer would I act through the pain of the past. Through Him, I would be free.

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to

Those tossing the coin

This may be a hard book to read, but I promise you it will be worth it. It will help you heal, grow and forgive; allowing you to move forward, and to once and for all say goodbye to the past.

Pain and hurt will be left in the hands of Jesus as you say yes to the adventure before you. Trust Him – He only wants what’s best for you; He has your best interests at heart. 

Be strong and courageous and brutally honest with yourself. The time has come to stop tossing the coin, to give it to Jesus and release yourself from the scars of the past.

No more pain, no more scars, victory is yours

– if you want it.

Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you.

Psalm 86:11 (NLT)

INTRODUCTION

On 31st October 2013 I found myself in America pursuing the dream to work in women’s ministry, but on that day, God was saying something completely different.

He said, ‘I want you to start writing books.’

I had never written a book in my life or even saw myself as a writer, but in my heart, I already had 19 outlines and titles for books that the Holy Spirit had been talking to me about.

I asked God, ‘How do I write 19 books?’

And His answer was, ‘Just start!’

So, I went to my local coffee shop and put pen to paper. The books seemed to come together really quickly and soon I had completed one, then two, then three, and I got to be the first recipient of a book that I didn’t even remember writing. Upon reading it, it seemed as if I was reading it for the very first time, and every book has been like that since.

So, be on the lookout for more books to come from

The Logan Series as He continues to ask me to write.

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight;

what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.

Matthew 10:27 (NIV)

Two-Faced Coin is a book to help those struggling to distinguish between error and truth: those deceived by fear, situations and events of their past. It shares the stories of those who are tossing a coin, allowing negative reactions to come from a place of hurt from past circumstances. The purpose of this book is to acknowledge those painful places within us and bring them to the Lord so that He can heal the hurt. Throughout this book, be open with God; allow yourself to be exposed to the One you can trust - the One who wants to heal your heart and set you free from all that hinders. Let Him help you. Let Him love you. Let Him take the coin, and let Him show you the truth.

I hope you feel encouraged and inspired by this book and that it points you only to Him, the one who loves you enough to ask me to write it. Let it do the work in you that He wants it to do, and please reach out and let us know what God has done throughout this book.
