Fearless Healing

I am 100% certain that Father God loves to bring healing to His children. He’s shown us by raising His Son’s dead body from the grave and if that isn’t proof enough, check the life of anyone that has been saved by grace. Believers are inevitably healed from wounds of their past, from physical ailments, from anger, bitterness, unforgiveness and from other things that are not their Heavenly portion. No, Christians aren’t perfect, but if they are walking with God you had better believe they carry joy and an intimate understanding of God’s deep love of healing His children.

God’s dialoging with me about my own inner healing at the moment. Lot’s of stuff He leads me to receive healing from is scary to process through at first. Receiving healing and revelation often times requires me to admit the lies the enemy has told me as I offer them to God.  I’ve usually chosen to block many of the lies from my mind for fear of them being true. I feel shameful, trapped and drowning when fearing that lies are actually Truth. But here’s the best part: they never are. Those lies that cause me to see myself as anyone other than a shell Jesus lives in are a load of crap and totally not true! The Amplified version of John 4:18 says, “There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].” Perfect love casts out fear. Where God’s love exists in fullness fear does not, for it can’t. When we understand who we are in Christ, there is nothing to be afraid of.

One day recently I asked the Lord how to survive being bombarded with lies while I am alone. My roommate recently moved out, which means more of my time at home is spent without another person around to insure my sanity and value, and in this “alone time” I tend to listen to more lies. The Lord told me to worship. So, when I’m feeling sad, believing lies or struggling in any way I begin to worship. No, it’s not always easy to get into the mode of worship when I feel worthless, unworthy, dirty, etc., but none of those things are true about me and my identity has nothing to do with my feelings; if the enemy can keep me feeling like I deserve to be separated from God, I will believe I truly am. But, believing I’m separated from God will not make me separated in any way. All the enemy can do is lie, not actually create separation in any way. What a blessing praising Jesus has been!  As I worship Him I’m reminded of who I truly am-righteous, pure, holy and pleasing in His sight. I’m given revelation that nothing can separate me from His love. I become engulfed in understanding of how precious I am to Him and how wonderful He is. My focus shifts from me to God and I praise Him like that’s what I was created to do…because it is. God is healing me from old wounds and scars as I worship Him. What a beautiful, effortless romance this is.
