I have just very recently returned to blogging after a few weeks respite.... time does become so involved, that I just havent had the time to compose, yet, I am filled right now with a fullness of joy and expectation, yet to spill it out on this post seems forced a bit... I have been taking a 2 and half hour class each week on healing prayer... now this is mainly spiritual healing.... I at first took the class because I so highly respect the teachers, previous Bible teachers I have learned from. I wasnt so sure I needed spiritual healing but was actually thinking I wanted to learn how to pray for and with others.... Well, I was certainly wrong in that! And I now believe from what I have experienced, that everyone is carrying hurts around in their hearts of some kind or another, that need the light of God's love and mercy, and healing applied ...
We were told in our first class during a silent reflection time that the Holy Spirit would bring to our minds a memory that God wanted to heal... while I sat there I thought Id have to conjure up a memory, but no! There it was ,,, just as plain as anything... a memory from when I was 9... an event that I never really had given what I thought... much credence to, just a non-intentional parental action that planted a seed of rejection in my heart that had far reaching consequences..... I could hardly believe how some missing puzzle pieces of my life came together to show me cause and effect of so many detached emotions and what I now understand to be ungodly beliefs about life,,,, ungodly expectations I had, which led to other actions!..... One after another through the last 8 weeks, I have seen how God was at work in my life even at a time when I didnt have any idea that I was needing him..... mainly because I was too busy trying to do it all on my own.... what a wonderful God and Father, we have, even when our earthly father, as much as he loved me and tried be the best father he knew how to be, made mistakes through various events in life, we as children and teens are so easily swayed by a simple wrong turn here and there... I now see what a gentleman God is... He never openly intervened but patiently was behind the scenes orchestrating and working out things until our eyes were opened to actually see His gentle hand guiding us... empowering us,,, ..and silly us, thought it was us, all along.... What a marvelous Father He is!
