00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
Hi friends, I hope you're having a good day.

2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:08.600
I'm looking forward to our chat this afternoon, this evening.

3
00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:12.960
Just wanted to hop on with a quick update.

4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.400
I am doing good.

5
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.560
I feel like, yeah, that my mind is just being renewed more

6
00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:21.560
and more every day.

7
00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:27.720
And I really feel like I'm able to shift into rest

8
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:29.660
much quicker than normal.

9
00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:31.900
And so that's really encouraging.

10
00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:34.540
And just been working through the videos

11
00:00:34.540 --> 00:00:37.820
in the membership database and really

12
00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:40.220
finding the tools helpful.

13
00:00:40.220 --> 00:00:45.220
But I love how they're tools to encourage us when we're stuck.

14
00:00:45.220 --> 00:00:48.540
But the more we do it, the more we just naturally

15
00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:51.420
shift into rest and giving language

16
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:54.060
to the emotions that are coming up and not negating them

17
00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:57.820
and not stuffing them down and validating like, hey,

18
00:00:57.820 --> 00:00:59.700
that actually really hurts.

19
00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:03.700
And so being super kind to myself,

20
00:01:03.700 --> 00:01:09.180
but while still not holding on to them or meditating on them

21
00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:11.820
or camping out too long there.

22
00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:16.700
So I can see progress, which I'm super grateful for.

23
00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:19.220
One thing I've just been pondering,

24
00:01:19.220 --> 00:01:21.860
I've been pondering for a long time, actually.

25
00:01:21.860 --> 00:01:24.580
But specifically today, a lot has

26
00:01:24.580 --> 00:01:27.380
been just a wrestle with my understanding and belief

27
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:29.740
systems around health and healing.

28
00:01:29.740 --> 00:01:32.700
And actually, I was wondering if you could speak to this.

29
00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:38.620
In the Bible, almost every single healing

30
00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:43.380
that we saw Jesus perform was instantaneous.

31
00:01:43.380 --> 00:01:52.940
And I mean, even the centurion who

32
00:01:52.940 --> 00:01:56.300
could have been living in sin or didn't believe

33
00:01:56.300 --> 00:02:00.620
he was worthy for Jesus to go to where his servant was.

34
00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:04.540
And it doesn't even, perhaps the servant wasn't even a believer.

35
00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:08.060
And just because of his faith, the Lord healed him,

36
00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:09.620
healed the servant.

37
00:02:09.620 --> 00:02:13.340
And so I know we don't want to go into systems

38
00:02:13.340 --> 00:02:16.660
and what do we need to do to make these things happen.

39
00:02:16.660 --> 00:02:19.620
But I just am trying to understand the discrepancy

40
00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:24.780
from, oftentimes, we see healing as a process for many people

41
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:27.020
and that it doesn't happen instantaneously.

42
00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:28.780
And there are instances where the Lord

43
00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:31.500
does heal instantaneously.

44
00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:34.460
But why in the Bible were most of the examples, if not,

45
00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:39.900
I think all of them, I think there was just but one,

46
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:43.580
where he sent the lepers away and then they came back.

47
00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:44.540
I'd have to look back.

48
00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:46.380
I just remember there was one instance that

49
00:02:46.380 --> 00:02:47.900
wasn't as straightforward.

50
00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:54.100
And I know there's spiritual blocks to healings,

51
00:02:54.100 --> 00:02:58.940
whether it's generational curses or mindsets, belief

52
00:02:58.940 --> 00:03:01.700
systems, habits, bad habits.

53
00:03:01.700 --> 00:03:05.700
There's all those things that can interfere with our healing.

54
00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:08.580
So it's hard not to shift into do mode,

55
00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:10.700
like what do I need to do?

56
00:03:10.700 --> 00:03:15.020
I understand that I still choose that God has already

57
00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:16.900
done everything that needs to be done.

58
00:03:16.900 --> 00:03:18.580
It was already done on the cross.

59
00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:20.980
Everything was covered in the blood in that moment.

60
00:03:20.980 --> 00:03:23.660
And nothing was left undone.

61
00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:26.860
And so while I still choose to believe that,

62
00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:30.860
and we talk about walking out active steps

63
00:03:30.860 --> 00:03:33.620
and doing it with the Lord.

64
00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:36.300
And I get that, as long as we're doing it from a place of rest.

65
00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:36.940
And that's OK.

66
00:03:39.540 --> 00:03:41.220
But yeah, I would love for you just

67
00:03:41.220 --> 00:03:47.020
to speak on just the examples that we saw in the Bible.

68
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:52.940
I just feel like, oh, not from a place of condemnation,

69
00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:55.900
but from a place of like, oh, why don't I get it?

70
00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:58.420
Or why aren't I experiencing that, even for the people

71
00:03:58.420 --> 00:04:03.700
that I pray for and the majority of what we, I think, see?

72
00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:06.460
That there's a delay or there's a process in people's healing.

73
00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:10.020
Why is that?

74
00:04:10.020 --> 00:04:14.540
How have we deviated so far from experiencing

75
00:04:14.540 --> 00:04:18.899
instantaneous healings, I guess my question is?

76
00:04:18.899 --> 00:04:21.459
Because when Jesus left, he says,

77
00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:23.540
he did greater things than I did.

78
00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:25.380
And so we know that we have access to that.

79
00:04:25.380 --> 00:04:28.500
And we know that that's available.

80
00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:32.340
And so, yeah, I was wondering, I hope this isn't confusing.

81
00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:37.340
It's something I've been pondering for many years.

82
00:04:37.340 --> 00:04:44.020
But having lived now in a very spiritual culture

83
00:04:44.020 --> 00:04:47.660
where there's lots of different belief systems,

84
00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:49.500
and I think one of the most important things

85
00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:52.380
is not to bring about shame and condemnation for where

86
00:04:52.380 --> 00:04:54.860
we're all at in our journey.

87
00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:59.940
But if there's something more that's available to us,

88
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.840
like instantaneous healings then yeah how do we bridge the gap like what is it

89
00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:12.240
what does it take to get there anyway thankful for you guys and looking

90
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:18.280
forward to hearing how you all are doing tonight okay bye
