The greatest healing I received was freedom from anger.
When I was 7 years old I was in a biking accident without a helmet (they weren’t in use then.) My right temple hit the windshield of a car and I flew and landed on my face. My spirit was in heaven’s doorway with an angel. He gave me the choice of staying or returning and I returned. Immediately I was face down and dazed on the steet. The world was a darker place after that. I had a brain bleed but no one knew then. Learning tasks were now difficult. People told me I was stupid and lazy. I grew angry and in time bitter and learned to fight and keep others away. On Saturday night I confessed and forgave and my life has opened up! I don’t know how else to describe it, I’M FREE!!!!!!!!!!!
Two days ago the Lord gave me a dream to explain it. A friend took me to a safe facility and to a female Doctor (the Holy Spirit). She pressed a probe in to my palm, lightly at first then very hard. I could not feel any pain. She dug a little under the skin and found what looked like a green fungus sludge. She opened my eyes and I saw both palms completely infected. She pull back the skin and it was a mass of the gangrene rot. I fell asleep and awoke to my hands healed with only a black bruise in the palms.
The infection was anger, destroying my grip, strength, power and ability to possess and hold anything good. That night I felt wonderfully loopy like being under an anesthetic while the HS worked, it was great mercy. Now I know his mercy is for me!
I don’t know what to say. I have been to six Rekindling Your Spirit conferences. Please pray for me that I will continue to seek God every day in the way that it is taught at these conferences. I am also looking for a small group to read the book “Rekindling your Spirit”.
Saturday night at this conference was the best part for me.
My Father God spoke to every one who was at the conference, and I knew he was speaking to me. It was very sweet and tender. It was the verse Isaiah 41:10, along with a little more. Paul was speaking, but God was speaking through him.
God spoke that verse to us, which says, “Do not fear for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. So, do not fear for I am with you. Becuase you are precious and holy in my sight, because I have drawn you with everlasting kindness, because I died for you and because I love you. Welcome home, my children, welcome home.” I was affected by the fact that he said he loves me and the part about everlasting kindness. I really felt that I went home to be with my father. Since both my parents have died now, I realized how much I was missing their love. They were both very loving and sweet to me and very forgiving. I need to continue to experience the love of my heavenly Father. It was awesome to be in his presence!
I was divorced a couple years ago after being married for 24 years and it was one of the darkest seasons of my life. At the conference, I felt the Lord prompting me to forgive my former husband. This was no easy request as he was the “tough boy” and I was the co-dependent one in our marriage. Through the drama on transference, I realized what a major part this had played in our marriage. This actually helped me make the choice to forgive because I could see past the blaming. I wrote his name on a sheet of paper and nailed it to the cross. As I went back to my seat I began to feel completely exposed, vulnerable, and a little fearful. I talked to the Lord and asked Him to be my protection as I was no longer protecting myself with unforgiveness. I continue to ask God daily to help me keep forgiving as the need arises as I know this is not a one-time occurrence.
The other part of the conference that had a big impact on me was God’s extravagant mercy. I saw how often I betray God by choosing my way or ignoring Him. Over and over I felt the mercy of God for myself and for His people in a deep way that I haven’t felt in the past. The last drama where many came and dropped their baggage off at the cross was beautiful. Again I felt the boundless mercy of God.
I’d like to give a huge thank you to all who played a part in putting on this conference…your efforts will be seen for an eternity!
When I attended my first RYS, five years ago, I was in a personal crisis. Although I had been a follower of Christ for many years, I had tangled myself in a sinful relationship, looking for Godly love, but in the wrong place. Entering the conference, I was bent beneath the weight of guilt and shame. Paul’s teaching about addiction, and especially about relational addiction, pulled the blinders from my eyes. For the first time I had clear understanding of my lifelong “need” for close, nurturing relationships. I was trying to get a wound healed from the created rather than from the Creator. The healing ministry at the conference deeply impacted my life, and brought my first tastes of true freedom. Five years later I can testify to God’s healing power! Desperately, for many years, I had searched for a deep down inside sense of being loved. I longed for a way to silence the scream in my soul. I now live in the daily reality of that love and peace! Thank you Paul and RYS Staff!
