Cathy did the teaching
Saturday night at the 2-evening retreat. She used her story rope and 2 heart
pillows to tell the story of her own broken life and her identity restored by
Jesus.
One heart was made of felt with objects hidden inside. The objects represented false hope, fear, worry, shame, pride, hardened heart, strongholds, etc. Cathy talked about each after pulling them out of the heart, one at a time – and placing them at the foot of a cross.*

She then correlated the
teaching with another heart pillow.
This 2nd pillow was tightly bound up with black ribbons –
which were released one at a time, as the objects were placed at the cross.
This represented inner (heart) healing as God’s truths set us free from
the lies of shame, fear, etc – allowing a bound, unidentifiable heart to become
recognizable, representing freedom to receive and give out God’s love.
Cathy's teaching was about
our identity. Though our identity was stolen by the Enemy, it is ours to take
back with the powerful help of Jesus. Our future is not shaped or determined by
our past. Our identity is found in Christ. Our future is in His
hands. We belong to Jesus, who is crazy in love with each one of us.
because we know who He is,
it changes the decisions we make. This changes homes, churches, cities, nations and cultures.
