The Lord is saying: Truth
in your innermost parts is what I am looking for. Be truthful
to yourself and be open with me. I can work when you search
out your real motives and your real feelings and bring out your
innermost thoughts into the light of my love. I will not condemn,
but will cleanse, renew and give you your hearts desire. Search
out and talk to me about what you are really feeling. I already
know the deepest regions of your heart , but I want you to know
My Hearts Desire
Recently
I have had some healing at Ellel Grange, and have been so impressed
with the results that Christ brings through this type of healing.
Over the last few weeks I have come to the conclusion that what
I have suspected about emotional and mental disturbance is undeniably
true. People are damaged by life and relationships and their
symptoms are a cry for help from that damaged part within them
that may even have stopped growing at the time of hurt. Most
people are walking around with at least some amount of unresolved
pain from past trauma and , lack of love in vital relationships
etc.
The medical
profession is mainly limited to help the people by numbing the
symptoms but they are also looking in the wrong direction for
answers. Lack of or too much of Serotonin levels etc. in the
brain is not the cause of the problems but a consequence of
the intense emotional responses of fear and hopelessness etc.
Anti-depressants are useful to lift the mood and energise the
depressed person to give them a crutch until the unresolved
pain is dealt with, not as a permanent solution to mask the
true problems.
Labels that
the psychiatrists give to patients are not helpful as they lock
the person into an identity type such as a schizoprenic, manic
depressive, neurotic etc instead of looking at each individual
as unique, with a unique set of events that have caused the
problems they are experiencing. These are individuals who needs
healing from their mental and emotional pain and disturbance
and are temporarily hurting until the cause is resolved. You
wouldn't class someone with a broken leg as a fractured person
for the rest of his life, but would look for means of binding
it up and getting it healed. Of course the healing of emotions
and mind isn't as simple as that, but to Jesus its not that
difficult if a person puts himself in the hands of trained and
sensitive people who have learnt how the Holy Spirit leads to
bring about wholeness in the inner man..
My hearts
desire is to see the body of Christ coming into the wholeness
that the Lord wants for them. Its time for the us to wake up
and to look into the effective healing that He has to offer
and not to see the psychiatrist as the only answer. How can
they not be working mainly in the dark, when they are only looking
at the chemical workings of a brain instead of seeing the person
as a wounded soul, with damage from defective relationships
in this sin sick world? I believe the promise of God that He
is going to bring us into all that Shalom means.... Nothing
missing... Nothing broken..

Just Joking
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari
in Africa. He took his faithful pet dachshund along for
company. One day, the dachshund starts chasing butterflies
and before long the dachshund discovers that he is lost.
So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly
in his direction with the obvious intention of having him
for lunch. The dachshund thinks, "OK, I'm in deep trouble
now!" Then he noticed some bones on the ground close
by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with
his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is
about to leap, the dachshund exclaims loudly, "Boy,
that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any
more around here." Hearing this, the leopard halts
his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over
him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says
the leopard. "That was close. That dachshund nearly
had me." Meanwhile, a monkey, who had been watching
the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this
knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the
leopard. So, off he goes.
But the dachshund saw him heading after the leopard with
great speed, and figured that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the
beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The
leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here
monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to
that conniving canine." Now the dachshund sees the
leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks,
"What am I going to do now?" But instead of running,
the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending
he hasn't seen them yet ... and, just when they get close
enough to hear, the dachshund says..................
"Where's that darn monkey? Sent him off half an hour
ago to bring me another leopard."
