“... healing of a lasting kind is
the product of an inner creative emotional act.”
— Neville Symington
No one can make a person be healed.
A person must agree with themselves, through the agency of God, whether they
are aware of it or not, that they want to be healed; that they need healing and are prepared to do
what it takes. And wanting to be healed is just the first step.
So begins the search to reclaim
the destiny of tranquillity; a soul at peace with itself.
The healing act is a
transformational transaction that must be free. It cannot be imposed. We may
pray for our children—for their healing, or for them to become saved—but
coercion will never work. We need to be praying for a miracle.
That’s God’s business.
When we bring faith to bear in
such ways as to leave coercion at the door, accepting another’s free will as
entirely their own without judgment—their wisdom—we join with God by heavenly
intercession.
Salvation and healing must be free
choices. We must allow God’s Spirit to work independent of human fabrication or
interference. The circumstances are God’s, not ours.
When That Free Choice Has Been Made
Miracles that occur in our witness
revitalise our faith that God works.
The Lord works eternally and the Spirit works miraculously
transforming hearts and minds free for the recreating.
God’s in the business of restoring
souls.
The process of healing, with God
having created the will inside the vessel to be healed, is one of restructuring the person’s reality and their perception of reality.
Healing is about seeing the world
anew, by analysing and deconstructing our patterns of thinking, and exploring
our feeling processes, not judging either one little bit. We become students of
the self.
God, the Teacher, is showing us as
we open the books of our minds, the manuals of our hearts, and compendiums of
our souls, that we have much to learn, and that learning is vital. In learning
is healing. In curiosity is fascination and in fascination is eventual blessing.
As we begin to challenge our
perceptions, without judgment, just working with the truth, checking it with
trusted others, we learn. In learning we are healed. The beauty of healing is
its tangential nature; we enjoy more and more healing—the joy never stops as we
climb the learning curve.
***
Healing can only occur because the
person wants to be healed; they are prepared to search and keep on searching.
They will embark on the personal journey. Within curiosity and learning is
healing.
Healing is about becoming students
of the self, with God’s Spirit the Teacher.
