Hi friends, I hope you're having a good day.
I'm looking forward to our chat this afternoon, this evening.
Just wanted to hop on with a quick update.
I am doing good.
I feel like, yeah, that my mind is just being renewed more
and more every day.
And I really feel like I'm able to shift into rest
much quicker than normal.
And so that's really encouraging.
And just been working through the videos
in the membership database and really
finding the tools helpful.
But I love how they're tools to encourage us when we're stuck.
But the more we do it, the more we just naturally
shift into rest and giving language
to the emotions that are coming up and not negating them
and not stuffing them down and validating like, hey,
that actually really hurts.
And so being super kind to myself,
but while still not holding on to them or meditating on them
or camping out too long there.
So I can see progress, which I'm super grateful for.
One thing I've just been pondering,
I've been pondering for a long time, actually.
But specifically today, a lot has
been just a wrestle with my understanding and belief
systems around health and healing.
And actually, I was wondering if you could speak to this.
In the Bible, almost every single healing
that we saw Jesus perform was instantaneous.
And I mean, even the centurion who
could have been living in sin or didn't believe
he was worthy for Jesus to go to where his servant was.
And it doesn't even, perhaps the servant wasn't even a believer.
And just because of his faith, the Lord healed him,
healed the servant.
And so I know we don't want to go into systems
and what do we need to do to make these things happen.
But I just am trying to understand the discrepancy
from, oftentimes, we see healing as a process for many people
and that it doesn't happen instantaneously.
And there are instances where the Lord
does heal instantaneously.
But why in the Bible were most of the examples, if not,
I think all of them, I think there was just but one,
where he sent the lepers away and then they came back.
I'd have to look back.
I just remember there was one instance that
wasn't as straightforward.
And I know there's spiritual blocks to healings,
whether it's generational curses or mindsets, belief
systems, habits, bad habits.
There's all those things that can interfere with our healing.
So it's hard not to shift into do mode,
like what do I need to do?
I understand that I still choose that God has already
done everything that needs to be done.
It was already done on the cross.
Everything was covered in the blood in that moment.
And nothing was left undone.
And so while I still choose to believe that,
and we talk about walking out active steps
and doing it with the Lord.
And I get that, as long as we're doing it from a place of rest.
And that's OK.
But yeah, I would love for you just
to speak on just the examples that we saw in the Bible.
I just feel like, oh, not from a place of condemnation,
but from a place of like, oh, why don't I get it?
Or why aren't I experiencing that, even for the people
that I pray for and the majority of what we, I think, see?
That there's a delay or there's a process in people's healing.
Why is that?
How have we deviated so far from experiencing
instantaneous healings, I guess my question is?
Because when Jesus left, he says,
he did greater things than I did.
And so we know that we have access to that.
And we know that that's available.
And so, yeah, I was wondering, I hope this isn't confusing.
It's something I've been pondering for many years.
But having lived now in a very spiritual culture
where there's lots of different belief systems,
and I think one of the most important things
is not to bring about shame and condemnation for where
we're all at in our journey.
But if there's something more that's available to us,
like instantaneous healings then yeah how do we bridge the gap like what is it
what does it take to get there anyway thankful for you guys and looking
forward to hearing how you all are doing tonight okay bye
