"I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete." ~John 15:11
Since last week, we have been 'practicing' inner healing with our group. Last week I was an 'observer', this week I had the priviledge and great blessing of being the 'receiver'. I knew going in that this is what the Lord wanted for me. So many issues came up with the Lord's help through my friends guidance and I felt the wonderful relief of being able to receive truth and then to finally let go of the pain. I felt light...like walking on clouds. Then I get home and get the above passage...WOW! I praise You Lord!
As a little aside...at the beginning of the year I was given Saint Joseph Cupertino as my saint for the year...and lo and behold...today is his feast day. So...thank you St. Cupertino for interceding for me. Oh, I just realized something kind of funny...about me 'walking on clouds'...lol...that's sort of what he did too(he would levitate). I also just realized that I had posted about him at my other blog and issued a prayer that I may experience the type of joy he had amongst my daily trials. Thank You, Thank You Jesus!

It sounds like you’ve had a good experience….I am happy for you. What hindered you from receiving truth prior to this prayer session? I’m just curious.
I think in general, many people have grown up without the Word of God. We grew up believing what was told to us, regardless of whether or not it was true, or we misinterpreted the actions of those that were significant in our lives. We never learned to do a check and balance against God’s Word.
God made us to be loved unconditionally and to give that love away. When we are not fulfilling what we were created for, we experience chaos and un-fulfillment. We seek after other things to fill the void and we end up a mess.
It is God’s Word that sets us free and our conformity to this truth is what brings about lasting fulfillment…the peace, joy, and love we all desire to have and to give to others…even in the midst of challenges; trials, tribulations, pain and suffering. This reality is for the young, old and in between.
Be assured of my prayers as you go forth living in freedom…pray, pray, pray and stay in the Word.
Hi Michelle, welcome to my little spot on the internet...glad to have you aboard.
I just posted above and I hope that will answer some of your questions.
I don't think that it was so much a failure to receive truth prior to this...but maybe of being unable to fully accept it into ALL areas of my life? In fact my belief is that the journey goes on...and I won't be totally 'free' until I'm united with jesus and the saints in Heaven.
