BASIC HUMAN NEEDS - NEED TO BE MET

When our basic human needs are met and Jesus Christ is our Foundation in Life, there will be a better chance at feeling safe and secure. But when our basic human needs went unmet and we didn’t have the Lord in our life, there will be an undoing and a new life built. Inner Healing, Deliverance and Surrendering our Will to the Lords Will helps us along the way… Learning our needs truly do matter.

We all have needs.
God designed us to never be afraid or ashamed of our basic human needs.
If you grew up in a relationally dysfunctional home and/or without a healthy relationship with Jesus Christ,
chances are you are on a journey of deep healing now!
The good news is that the LORD can heal every wound and set your soul at rest.


*NEED FOR LOVE*

God made us all with the basic need for love. Healthy and holy love. If this need for healthy and holy love is not met, relational dysfunction and trauma is the result. We go on a search to find that love, but often look in all the wrong places.

There is hope for those who grew up in homes where the need for healthy love was not met. With Jesus Christ, the unmet needs can met in a healthy relationship with Him and in relationally safe community.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."(John 3:16)

**********

*NEED FOR FAMILY*

God made us all with the basic need for family. A family that is a safe place to learn, make mistakes, grow, be taught, guided, corrected, and be continually nurtured and protected. If our need for a healthy and loving family is not met, children grow up with lingering symptoms of relational trauma and attachment issues, and as a result, their basic foundation for all of life is not stable.

There is hope for those grew up in families where the need for healthy family connection and relationship was not met. With Jesus Christ, the unmet need for family can finally be fulfilled in a healthy community where the gospel of Jesus Christ is the foundation. When one member of the family begins to walk the narrow path with God, the generational dysfunction starts to fall apart.

"In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will." (Ephesians 1:4-5)

**********

*NEED FOR LIFE*

God made us all with the basic need for life. A life that is guided by Gods Word and Precepts. But unfortunately, we live in a fallen world. Right now we experience living in a world of killing, murder, rape, molestation, abuse, neglect, abortion, selfishness, adultery, perversion, exploitation and other ungodly sins aimed at destroying life.

For anyone who struggles to live fully and feel safe in the world, there is hope ~ because Jesus Christ came to give us a safe refuge from the darkness, offering rest, light and life abundantly.

"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly [fully]." (John 10:10)

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” (John 11:25)

**********

*NEED FOR GUIDANCE*

God made us all with the need for reliable guidance. When we are born, we do not know the way to go. We need help. We need reliable guidance that is sure to light the way, every step. From where do we receive reliable guidance? Our Heavenly Father. He is the only One who can guide us on the path of truth and love.

"You have been acquainted with [know] the sacred writings [Scriptures], which are able to make you wise for salvation [new life] through faith in Christ Jesus." (2 Timothy 3:15)

"If any of you lacks wisdom [right thinking], let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach [criticism], and it will be given him." (James 1:5)

**********

*NEED FOR STRENGTH*

God made us vulnerable and weak so that we would have to rely on Him for strength. When we try to be strong in our effort, there will be burnout, exhaustion, illness, and breakdown. But when we lean on Him, there is an abundance of strength and an outpouring of His vitality! Strength that never ends, even when it seems to be absolutely impossible!

“All things are possible for one who believes… With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” (Mark 9:23; 10:27)

"God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure [resist] it."

(1 Corinthians 10:13)

**********

*NEED FOR SECURITY*

God created us all to need security. When we do not feel secure, life sure is hard. We live in survival mode and we do not know how to step into the fullness of life, or the goodness that God has for us. But when we look to the LORD, a supernatural security is available to us all. Even amidst difficult circumstances, there is security under the safe wing of our Lord God Almighty.

"My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth… The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore." (Psalm 121:2,7-8)

“I will never leave you nor forsake [turn away from] you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5-6)

**********

*NEED FOR FORGIVENESS*

God made us to walk in forgiveness for one another. Think of all of the horrific things that have happened to you. It is hard to forgive, right? Well, when we receive forgiveness from our Heavenly Father for the things we have done against Him, we are able to see that we all have fallen short of the Glory of God. Not one of us is without the need to be forgiven and to forgive.

"Repent [change your heart] and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins."

(Acts 2:38)

If we confess [admit] our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

**********

*NEED FOR HEALTH*

God made us to walk in health and vitality, so that we can fulfill the purpose that He has pre-destined for us all. He made us to care for our physical body, as a temple to be filled with His Holy Spirit. He knows we may suffer in this physical body, as it is fragile and needs care. He gives us faith to trust in Him and the many ways He brings healing into our bodies.

"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray… And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up." (James 5:13,15)

**********

*NEED FOR PEACE*

God made us to walk in peace, even amidst the hard times! He knows we may worry if we are not walking with Him, so He implores us to believe in His Word and Walk in Faith. Faith in His Word and in the Fruits of the Spirit as He heals, grows and makes us peaceful because of His presence in our hearts, minds, and souls.

"Do not be anxious [worried] about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication [asking] with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses [goes beyond] all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." (John 14:27)

**********

*NEED FOR FOOD AND CLOTHING*

God made us with a need to be nourished with the things He has provided for us. Whole Foods that nourish our physical body. He knows that we need clothing for our bodies to keep warm and protected.

Do not be anxious about your life… But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Matthew 6:25,33)

"I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken [left alone] or his children begging for bread. He is ever [always] lending generously, and his children become a blessing."" (Psalm 37:25-26)

**********

*NEED FOR FRIENDSHIP*

God made us with a need for friends. Healthy loving friendships.

We are not meant to walk this life alone. God has healthy loving friendships in store for us, but we really need to know how loved and valued we are by the Father, otherwise we may fall into unhealthy and unholy relationships that will harm us.

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends … No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you." (John 15:13,15)

**********

*NEED FOR HOPE*

God made us to need to walk in hope, not hopelessness! He knows that we will face trouble in this world, but as we turn to Him, the God of all Hope, He is able to fill us with His promise even in the most hopeless situations. Hope keeps us going, never giving up, always looking to God for mercy, grace, patience, perseverance and endurance.

"According to his great mercy [forgiveness], he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable [never dies], undefiled [always pure], and unfading, kept in heaven for you." (1 Peter 1:3-4)

**********

*ALL OUR NEEDS MATTER TO GOD*

God made us to know Him. Do you know our Heavenly Father? We know Him by knowing Jesus Christ.

"And God is able to make all grace abound [grow] to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:8)

"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)

**********

there is REAL LASTING HEALING AND NEW LIFE
in an intimate relationship with Christ Jesus.
There is a way out of the darkness, and into the Light!
