Non-Stop Love Study Guide: Your Journey Towards Hope

By Michelle S. Kim

FAITH TRANSFORMS YOUR LIFE!

Faith transforms your life! However, faith needs to be "activated"!

Somewhere in our minds, we all have an invisible on/off switch for faith, but it turns off after a set time. We must consciously remember to flip our "faith switch" back on again and again, each time after it shuts off.

Foreword

Having read and been thoroughly enthralled with the riveting autobiography entitled Non-Stop Love: A Journey Towards Joy, I was pleased to learn that Michelle Kim was also composing a study guide to be used in conjunction with her autobiography. Michelle’s original work explores and addresses some of life’s most painful and personal struggles in this transparent, soul-stirring autobiography. With refreshing and, at times, remarkable candor, Michelle unearths subjects, angst, wounds, and emotions that, for many individuals for far too long, have been kept hidden under the heavy wraps of protective covering.

This study guide, authored to equip the student to make personal applications to the lessons God divinely revealed to Michelle during her unique journey, takes the text from the drawing board to the production plant. It is a hands-on, user-friendly resource that serves as a perfect companion volume to her original textual offering. Michelle has made herself vulnerable in shining a light into her personal struggles in order to reveal God’s persistent, glorious love and power in shattering chains and bondages en route to transforming her into the woman of grace and faith that she is today. Her journey offers many scenarios and sagas that she has been able to leverage into workbook exercises that produce introspective and critical thinking on the part of the student. This will prove to be especially beneficial for individuals who are dealing with identical or similar issues in their lives.

Both the autobiography and its collaborative study guide are authored in such a way as to reveal in easily understood terms how biblical principles and precepts can be identified and gleaned and then personally applied, as Michelle did, to transition from victimhood to an overcoming victor! Michelle’s personal saga has taken her from a despondent pessimist to an eternal optimist. She certainly achieves her goal by ensuring God gets the praise, honor, and glory!

Michelle Kim is a living testimony to the fact that our God takes seemingly impossible situations and redeems them by revealing and fulfilling those possibilities that only He can see! Today, Michelle Kim is a remarkable woman of faith, godliness, and wholeness characterized by a journey that she has humbly parlayed in sincere compassion for, as well as an insatiable desire and determination to help others navigate their individual journeys successfully. Her work, both in the autobiography and workbook, can be described as inspirational, therapeutic life-coaching that packs the potential for spiritually nursing back to health, vitality, and fruitfulness.

The chapters of this study guide, punctuated by an authenticity that gives it a raw and unvarnished quality, consistently challenge life choices of passivity and despondent acceptance and present the necessary alternative decisions that inspire and motivate the reader to become proactive. They are directed in the pages of the study guide to a pathway that combines faith and action to navigate the Spirit-led, Spirit-empowered trek toward overwhelming joy and fulfillment.

As you unpack the deep spiritual truths and golden nuggets of profound wisdom tucked into this study guide, you will laugh, you will cry, you will be challenged, and you will grow towards God’s ultimate purposes and divine destiny for your life.

I unreservedly commend this study guide and its author to you. I consider it to be a distinct honor and joy to serve as Michelle’s pastor. It is most worthy of your investment of time. I believe the interactive learning that this study guide will facilitate will be life-transforming for some and even lifesaving for others! For the discouraged and downtrodden, help is in these pages! Be encouraged!

May God bless you richly as you commit your heart and mind to diligently applying yourself as you methodically work your way through the exciting discoveries that await you nestled in these pages.

Preface

The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.

But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to

bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

— Romans 5:20–21 (NIV)

It is a blessing that there are so many Bible study guides these days.

I hope this Non-Stop Love Study Guide serves as a Bible study that people can apply to the unique circumstances of their lives by helping them seek and apply the will of God.

This Non-Stop Love Study Guide is good for both self-study and group study!

Everybody’s lives are different. Despite that, the people who told me that they felt they could relate so strongly to my story came one after another.

Even though healing resources are abundant, people are wounded and experience hurt all the time, so there is a never-ending need.

Without opening up the problem deep inside of our soul, the healing process can’t begin. However, it has to be done properly in a safe environment, like in the true fellowship in Christ (Philippians 2:1–4), not in gossip, which can just fuel more pain and problems. Bible studies with group prayers can be one of the best healing sessions! Or, of course, they can also be done just between yourself and the Holy Spirit.

For these reasons, I started to think about making a study guide, which I hadn’t planned to do prior to publishing my book Non-Stop Love, and the Holy Spirit cultivated this desire in me.

This Non-Stop Love Study Guide is composed of guided introspective questions based on the content of Non-Stop Love and seeking answers from Scripture to help draw you closer to God and brighten the way for your journey towards hope.

If we utilize all of the tools available to us, we can strive to walk with the Lord every minute of our lives in a more victorious way.

If you are going through difficult times such as suffering through abuse, a rocky marriage, strenuous relationships, and are wanting to break free from spiritual and emotional chains and bondages and grow your faith, this study guide is for you. And if you are going through this guide with a group, I hope it will be not only a study group but also a healing and prayer group.

As believers in Christ, our goal is to finish our lifetime race well so that we can hear from God, Well done! You are my faithful servant! (2 Timothy 4:7, Matthew 25:21).

However, as you know already, it is not easy to live in this world since we live amongst spiritual enemies in this fallen world, not in the perfect garden of Eden.

We strive not to just get through the fiery dark battlefield but to emerge victorious. Enemies laugh and mock us, saying,
