Healing from Within - Part 2 - Switched Emotionally and Physically

 

Our body becomes switched in our balance, health and orientation when wounds from our past surface from our subconscious mind. For instance, our immune system may attack our healthy organs or allow viruses and bacteria to get the upper hand in our bodily functions.

Therefore, continual nurturing of our soul now - our thoughts, emotions and choices - will enable our health and well-being in the future. Each time we pay attention to our soul, we dissolve the negative electrical charges affecting us in spirit, soul and body.

This allows our healing, loving, present moment awareness to increase. It may improve over a period of time, or it may happen suddenly; but our awareness of and love for the real person inside of us will connect us to the love of Christ in us, and will set us free indeed (John 8:36).

Connecting to the Spirit of God within us facilitates this healing process. The love of God will pour over us like a waterfall, cleansing away the dross from our past. He helps us to forgive and to actually love those who wounded us in the past.

God always uses our trauma to give us a gift: more mercy and grace and compassion, determination and perseverance, agape love for others, the ability to see events from another person's perspective, the seed for a miracle in every trial, etc.

We enjoy life more and are able to help others find healing for their wounds. We help them to nurture their soul and to find healing from Christ within them.

The ultimate gift we receive from our healing is more freedom in Christ Jesus. He shows us the world as it is, and we see and accept our self as we truly are - validating our worth as an individual and as a member of the Body of Christ, as a King's kid and as part of the future Bride of Christ.

Prayer:

Father God, in this world we will have tribulation and distress. Yet, Paul and Jesus both accessed Your Spirit within them in order to find joy in their negative circumstances. Teach us to discover who we are in Christ, so that we can embrace the unique person that You created us to be. We do not need to fit into any mold the world dictates to us; but we can learn to follow Your Spirit for each moment of our day.

You help us to decrease so that You can increase within us. You teach us to pay attention to our needs: physical, emotional, relational, financial and spiritual; and not to expect other people to meet those needs for us. You are perfectly willing to meet our needs and to guide us to people, places, events, ministries and even pets to meet those needs in us. Help us to trust in and to rely only on You through all the days of our life.

Thought for the Day:

Taking down the masks, which we hide behind, and living as Christ prompts us to live, brings freedom to our soul; we can ask for what we need, set protective emotional and physical boundaries with toxic people, stand firm in our beliefs and convictions, wear modest clothing and accessories that highlight our personality, eat food that brings healing to our body, express our opinions in loving and patient ways, and to give our self the freedom of expression, which Christ died on Calvary to provide for us.

 

Healing from Within - Part 1 - Discovering Past Issues Still Affecting Us Now

When we have the past in the center of our subconscious focus, we are switched emotionally and physically as well. We expect the worse and fear abandonment and deprivation now as we experienced in childhood.

This unresolved stress of the past haunts our soul and may even manifest in our dreams, which is the mind's way of healing these issues. Our negative subconscious focus often attracts negative people and experiences into our life.

It is not too late for us to heal. The tender love and care that would have prevented the wounds in the first place is something that we can now give to our self to help our soul to heal.

As we take a step back, out of our conscious thoughts and mind, breathe deeply from the diaphragm, and feel the energy of our past wounds, we can give our self the love, nurture and validation that we did not receive as children.

We learn to nurture our self as we nurture other people. Through the power of our awareness of our current thoughts and emotions, we also access the love of God, and our negative emotions and energy start to dissolve.

We really need this nurturing as children, but our caregivers were too wounded to help us or themselves. By paying attention to our thoughts and feelings now, this nurturing attention will help us to heal.

The negative electrical charge in our body will gradually lose its power and we will feel a shift toward health. We will switch from toxins destroying our body to our body living in health.

Now, we and Christ in us are the ones loving and healing our soul, rather than us living as the victim of our past experiences. We face our negative emotions as they arise, and we gain God's perspective and healing thoughts on how to overcome the past for good.

Prayer:
Father God, too often our joy is determined by our circumstances, rather than by our relationship with You. We allow negative events to cripple us and the lies of the devil to bring us down emotionally, physically and spiritually. Your Word teaches us that what we really need is patience. Paul reminds us to allow patience to have a perfecting influence on us (James 1:4-8).

Teach us that when we have patience as our ruling emotion, our perspective of life changes. Patience rules our thoughts and emotions, and all other emotions line up with it. Patience is our fulcrum that balances the teeter-totter of our life. Our thoughts and emotions fluctuate less and find a steady footing on which to rest. We breathe more deeply and enjoy less stress and more balance in our choices, behavior and emotions.

Thought for the Day:
These negative emotional electrical charges from our past experiences contain energy that has been repressed and deprived, sometimes for years and years; however, we do not need to live as victims of our past, because Jesus died that we might live an abundant life now and for eternity.

God is the Lord

God is the Lord and He does not change (Malachi 3:6). He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He is not fickle; He does not waffle; and He is steady, true and totally righteous (Psalm 145:17).

God is love (1 John 4:8); but He is also just (Deuteronomy 32:4; Job 34:12; Hebrew 6:10). He shows mercy and compassion, but He demands that we live holy lives (1 Peter 1:16).

He is not a permissive parent and He does not accept our worship in alternative forms. He does not give us many roads to heaven, but only one - salvation through Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).

Why would Jesus suffer that horrendous torture and death if it was not necessary? In fact, in the garden prior to the crucifixion, He prayed that if there was any other way for us to find salvation, that He be spared the cup of God's wrath.

Yet, He also prayed, "Not my will, but Yours be done." Jesus was a submissive sacrificial Lamb up to the last breath of life that He took. It is glorious to read that God shortened His time of suffering on the cross, and God does the same thing for us.

Our trials are shortened due to God's compassion, mercy and grace. He allows patience to perfect us (James 1:4), and He calls on us to trust only in Him for our deliverance. He is our only wise God and we give Him all the praise and honor due to His name (Romans 16:27).

Prayer:

Father God, You are the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:13-14). Jesus sits beside Your throne and He will judge the inhabitants of the earth from Adam to the last survivor when He opens Your books (Daniel 7:9-10). Non-believers will be judged for their unbelief and the debt of sin they owe (John 3:18); believers for our rewards according to our works for Your Kingdom (Revelation 22:12).

Thank You for sending Jesus to pay the sin debt for all of us who believe (John 3:16-17). This free gift is certainly not deserved by us, but Your generous love pours His sacrifice out as an offering to atone for our unholy deeds. We look forward to His coming in the clouds for all of His Saints (Revelation 1:7; Mark 14:62)

Thought for the Day:

In the presence of the Ancient of Day, Jesus will be given dominion, glory and God's Kingdom, so that all people, nations and tribes of every language will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth; this Kingdom is everlasting and will never be destroyed, and He chose His Saints to rule and reign in it with Him forever. - Daniel 7:13-14

Our Supreme Being

God made the earth and cosmos by His great power. He established the universe by His supernatural wisdom. He stretched out all of creation just as He pleased.

When God whispers, He can cause the dew and humidity to rise from the earth to the heavens; and then He sends them as the rain on the entire earth.

He adds lightning to the rain, brings wind out His treasuries and shakes the earth with great peals of thunder. He commands the universe, the weather and our life according to His good pleasure (Jeremiah 10:6-14; 51:15-16).

One cannot help but believe there is a Supreme Being when we consider the precision in the universe (Romans 1:20). Once we read the Bible and notice the accuracy in which prophecy is fulfilled - most of it that could never have a self-fulfilling tendency to it - we know without a doubt that God rules supreme (Psalm 19:1-4).

Jesus in all of His wisdom existed before the world was ever formed. Before the fountains of water burst forth, before the mountains and hills were established, before the fields, the lilies in the fields and the dust of the earth covered the ground Jesus resided in the glories of heaven.

As the Master Craftsman, Jesus gave the seas their boundaries and they do not go against His commands. He delights in His creation daily, rejoices in the inhabited world and takes pleasure in the sons of men (Proverbs 8:22-31).

Once Jesus takes up His throne on the earth, all the ends of the earth, and every family and nation shall worship before Him (Psalm 22:27). The earth, heavens and fullness of the world are His (Psalm 89:11).

Prayer:

Father God, the earth and all of its fullness belong to You. We see Your glory and exalt You (Psalm 24:1; 90:2; 97:1-4 and 6-9). The earth honors You and we all stand in awe of You (Psalm 33:8). Everyone sees Your salvation at one time or another in their life (Psalm 98:3-4, 7-9; Psalm 104). Yet, some people will harden their heart against You (Job 9:4-12).

All of creation sees Your glory and testifies of the beauty of Your handiwork and holiness and the majesty of Your thunderous voice. We do well to stand still and give our attention to Your marvelous works all around us (Job 12:7-10; 26:7-14; 37:2-22; Chapters 38-39). Then, we will spend our days singing praises to Your holy and majestic name.

Thought for the Day:

From one drop of blood, God made all of the nationalities on the earth; and He already arranged our pre-appointed times and the boundaries of our life, according to His Supreme will. - Acts 17:24-28; Isaiah 45:5-6, 12-23
