A Practical Guide to Healing

✨  GOD of MIRACLES!   ✨   ~6. 28. 2019

Part 1:  ~A Testimony~ 

  
Part 2 and more:  ~A Practical Guide to Healing~  (the next posts)

🔥 Introduction:  Are we using the power inside us to heal ourselves and others?  For me, this has been a long journey with Jesus, who is actively building my faith, day by day.  I have seen the power of God to heal others miraculously, both in the moment, and over time, to do what He shows me in the moment, when seeking for others.  We release healing in whatever way He shows us, and leave the rest to Him, with no concern about the “result” of what WE have done.  It is not about us, but directly related to faith in the One we partner with. We are simply obedient. Releasing healing, by the power of Jesus, is the most beautiful partnership with God.  It comes out of relationship with, and complete trust of, the Faith Builder.  (Hebrews 12:2)

🔥Part 1:  ~~A Testimony of Healing, my miracle:  A Recent Accident on the evening of 6.26.19.

Two nights ago, I had an accident. I fell on hard pavement. It happened in a silly way, my picking up my dog’s leash with the dog attached, not prepared for the burst of joy from this pup, which quickly jerked me off balance. It all happened so fast, yet I can still see it in slow motion two days later.  My instinct in the moment was to try to use the weight of the dog to keep myself from falling, rather than letting go of the leash.  I went down very hard on the pavement, affecting the entire right side of my body from head to toe:  Head, hip, thigh, knee, ankle, wrist, back, buttocks and everything in between!  In addition to the hard fall, jarring each of these areas, I had what we call “road rash”, scrapes on my ankle, wrist and elbow. This event happened later in the evening, and left me in so much pain, I wondered how I would be able to find any position that was comfortable enough to sleep.  After treating the surface wounds and placing myself in bed, I felt the Lord’s Presence on my leg, the gentle vibrations, and asked the Lord to help me go to sleep.  Our kind and gracious God, did so, and got me through the night. His tender touch, holding me through a night of pain, was the epitome of His loving nature.

🔥~~I was unable to walk!~~ 

The next morning, yesterday, as I attempted to get out of bed, I discovered that I was unable to place any weight at all on my right leg, and I had essentially no range of motion.  I spent the day in bed, trying to decide where next to place the ice pack, and drawing strength from Jesus. Spending time with the Lord was the most important part of what was about to take place!  Many things went through my mind, and I began to check with Jesus on each one.  “Lord, not being able to place weight on a leg sometimes points to a break. Are there any broken bones; Hip, leg, knee, ankle?”  Immediately I was assured that there were no broken bones.  I heard a clear “No”. I believed Him and was thankful.  I felt His Presence all over my right side, which was a miracle in itself, His having taught me over the past several years, what His Presence feels like, the beautiful, gentle vibrations. He knows exactly what is going on in our bodies, which is very life giving in these moments.  I trust Jesus, both what He says, and His miraculous power to heal, restore, transform, and change ANY circumstance.  He had prepared me well for this!  💕 Thank You, Jesus! 💕

🔥~~Seeking Him!  Talking to my Divine Partner

I continued to question Him:  “So Jesus, why then am I in so much pain?  Why am I unable to place any weight on this leg? Why is it not functioning at all?”  First, He showed me that there were several muscular tears.  This made sense, and gave me great hope, because I have experienced these small muscle tears in the past, which heal over time.  I also recalled that other times I had experienced this, it took a very long time to heal completely.  Next, He had me look at my leg.  I noticed that my knee seemed out of alignment, a bit off center between ankle and hip.  It looked like it had moved to the left, along with some swelling. So I was led to do what I do with others whose hips are out of alignment, when one leg is longer than the other.  I spoke to the knee, and asked it to come into proper alignment, as God designed, in Jesus’ name.  I heard and felt cracking, like bones moving inside.  It felt so strange in the moment, almost like bones breaking, though I know now that He was tweaking things, our most perfect Chiropractor. Though I saw no visible sign of things having moved on the outside, I was led to get up and test it. I was in total AWE as I was able to get up, place weight on that leg, without pain. 

🔥~~Just Like That!  I Was Able to WALK!~~

BAM!  It was done.  I had just pondered how many days or weeks it would be before I was able to care for myself again, and this morning, 24 hours later, I am able to walk up and down the stairs, having prepared my own breakfast.  Hallelujah!  Our miraculous God, my Partner in all things, faithfully displayed His power, just as He does when I work with others.  Healing manifested in my body, as I worked with Him step by step,  to use the power He has placed inside me, to bring healing.  He showed me that this process I went through with Him can be used as a practical guide, written down for others.   Thanks be to God!  

Let’s give our gracious God all Honor, Glory and Praise for His power to heal!  Will you celebrate His power with me today?  God is SO good.  Believe it and receive it.  His POWER is REAL! 

✨ In the next post, Part 2, I will share some things I learned through this healing, which may speak to some who read it, and help bring greater confidence in the days ahead, as we pray for healing all over the world.  These are exciting days for all who believe in the manifest power of God on earth, as in Heaven.

Renewing Our Minds ~ What do we believe? ~ Romans 12

Becoming KINGDOM MINDED is a Divine SHIFT which transforms us and others! 

Those called, and passionate about healing in the Body of Christ, come from vastly different faith backgrounds. Many of us have grown up in a “belief system”, often times due to the beliefs of our parents, or by invitation into a Church community. Where we are born, our culture and/or nationality also has an influence on faith. The path to our receiving Jesus is a UNIQUE path, what we believe deep within our soul, being shaped by these daily influences around us.

On our personal journey with Jesus, we are led to place ourselves in HIS HANDS in total surrender, as the Author and Finisher of our faith. (Hebrews 12:2) Following Him means that we look to Him to transform us, to bring us into truth, becoming more like HIM. God’s Word urges us to renew our minds. (Romans 12:1-2) This is the road to transformation. 

JESUS is TRUTH, so when we surrender to Him, placing ourselves in His hands to shape our faith, He gently transforms our minds, ridding us of what we have believed that is “false”, replacing it with truth. Our minds and hearts become one with Him. (1 Corinthians 2:16) He may direct us to a specific teaching, lead us to a particular book to read, or into deeper conversations with mentors. He directs us to scriptures, showing us how to interpret through a crystal clear spiritual lens of history and context. It’s a beautiful process as we follow Him step by step. He SHOWS us the truth by strengthening our personal discernment, so that lies jump out at us, exposed like never before.

We have been given the mind of Christ. Our minds are being renewed, shifting our beliefs into all truth, as New Covenant believers. What we believe about God, what Jesus accomplished already on our behalf, His goodness, and the power of the Holy Spirit living inside us, changes everything! 

💗~Below are questions and my responses to them, as an example of my present “mindset”, with regard to this accident I had two nights ago. Some of you may answer these questions differently right now. If so, that’s OK, and you are loved! You and I are on unique paths and they are both blessed by God! Please simply seek the Lord to go deeper, without fear, for personal revelation. He is faithful to provide it! 💗

✨~ PART 3: A Practical Guide to Healing ~ (Links to Parts 1 and 2 below)

~~ Who Occupies Our Thoughts? Who Has our Full Attention? ~~

How much do we THINK about, or SEEK JESUS in our day?

In this series, we are focusing on God’s power to bring healing. The Lord is leading us today, to consider what occupies our minds, thoughts which affect our spiritual health, that can lead to either health or illness in the physical body. 

Thoughts on JESUS/vs. thoughts on the enemy

Often times, we give the enemy credit for the crazy things that happen in life, which cause us pain. I did this often, in my PAST. I have come into truth, in recent years, by the grace of God, which has changed everything for me. The Truth/Jesus has renewed my mind. Having received JESUS, our lives have been made new, changed forever! (2 Corinthians 5:17) 

🦋~ The New Covenant ~

God’s power has overcome the enemy, by the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Jehovah’s plan is PERFECT! For all who believe in Jesus, our salvation is a free gift, not earned, rather given to us, by God’s grace. This reveals the Father’s loving heart for us, that God would send His only Son, as a perfect sacrifice, to become sin, put it to death forever on that cross, forming a NEW COVENANT with Him, so that we may be FREE and have life with Him FOREVER! Christ has won the battle, His body raised, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to fulfill His destiny, to become KING of both Heaven AND earth. This was the ultimate miracle, the perfect plan of God, to change the world. It is all about us drawing near to Jesus in relationship. JESUS is the WORLD CHANGER. By His stripes, we are HEALED! (Isaiah 53:4-5)

🦋~ The Power We Have in Jesus ~

As followers of Jesus, called to be saints, this defeated enemy has no right to be around us! And regardless, he would never hang out where JESUS IS, amidst the Kingdom power in us! That would be pointless, since WE have been given the power over him, all because of Jesus. The enemy is well aware of God’s power in us, so why are so many uncertain of this? Jesus has confirmed this for me countless times, as He has for many others. It has taken me a long time to learn this, given all the bad teaching readily available to us in this area, by well-meaning Christians. I’ve found that when we do not BELIEVE the Power inside us, it is as if we relinquish it, and come out of alignment with Truth. This moves us away from faith, and into fear.

🦋~ A Deeper Intimacy With God ~

BUT GOD is greater! He is bringing us into all truth, day by day as He renews our minds. It is a joyful process, which draws us into deeper intimacy with Him. As we seek Him, place ourselves in His hands in complete trust, we allow ourselves to be transformed, giving HIM ALL GLORY! We begin to see that our God is with us in each and every moment of every day. We turn from fear, and the enemy no longer has ANY place in our thoughts. Our mind belongs to Jesus. We only THINK about, SPEAK about, and long to SPEND TIME with the ONE who is Truth! We say HIS NAME, the name above ALL NAMES! Jesus becomes our everything, and we are on our way, on the road to complete freedom, healing and restoration. 

🦋~ There is No Going Back! ~

Once we experience this, there is no going back! We go where Jesus leads, moving in His POWER, seeing HIS GLORY all around! Our renewed confidence, and increased passion, compels us to spread God’s Kingdom, to bring healing, encouragement, to tell of His glory, share His truth, and release His love to all people. 

Be blessed on the glorious journey!

📖~~2 Corinthians 5:20-21 “Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God. God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

📖~~Matthew 14:28-33 Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”  He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus.  But when he noticed the strong wind,[e] he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”  Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”  When they got into the boat, the wind ceased.  And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

📖~~Ephesians 6:14-16 “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”
