Do NOT be Conformed. 4 Areas that Keep You Stuck

The Bible asks us to NOT be conformed to the pattern of this world’s thinking.

Today we look at the 4 main areas that keep us stuck in our thinking whilst on a healing journey. I believe the woman with the issue of blood needed to change her thinking in these areas in order to receive her healing.

Self-righteousness
Not knowing God’s love
Condemnation
Victimhood

I pray this post will help you identify if any of these areas are keeping you stuck a little as you believe God for healing.

Receive the Father’s Heart: Step 1 in Healing

If I were to support someone on a healing journey, I would always start by checking how they experience the Father’s heart.

“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” 1 john 4:16

You might be thinking ‘of course I know that God loves me’. But to know that God loves you, and to experience the Father’s heart intimately are not the same.

One is cognitive, the other experiential.

Faith in Man or Faith in God? How to be Certain

Today’s post is about how we can determine if our faith is in God or man?

We can have faith in man on 3 levels when believing God for healing.

Faith in medicine
Faith in the church
Faith in self

There can be a very fine line because we need to have faith filled Christians around us and often God does use medicine. It’s also easy to have faith in our faith!

I hope by the end of this post, you’ll be more aware of the danger of trusting in the wrong thing and how easy it is to do.

God’s Acceptance: 5 Steps to Heal Shame

The story of Naaman shows us that God’s acceptance heals your shame.

Today we look at the relationship between God’s acceptance and shame. Then I’ll offer 5 steps to help you apply this learning to your own life.

So let’s look at shame:

In my last post I shared of how, as a young girl, I was ashamed of my freckles. They made me different from my friends. In fact on one occasion a girl in my class at school, called me ‘Heinze baked beans face’. I was crushed.

The feeling of disgust towards a part of me arose. I tried everything to hide them, get rid of them or cover them up.

God Looks at the Heart. Why Shame Hinders Healing.

God knows the healing you need because He looks at the heart.

Today we’re going to look at shame which I believe is often the root cause of our inauthenticity. I’m going to suggest 3 possible masks you might be wearing to cover up your shame.

Mind-Body doctor Gabor Mate says the inauthenticity causes disease. So I pray that as you read this, you’ll develop a greater understanding of how shame shows up in your life and how it hinders healing.

Does God Heal Unbelievers?

Does God heal unbelievers or is this a privilege for Christians?

Perhaps you’re believing for a friend’s healing but you have doubts because he’s not a Christian as yet. I hope this post will encourage you in your faith as you stand in the gap for your friend.

Yes God does heal unbelievers!

Today we look at the example of Naaman, who worshipped a different God and so represents the world of unbelievers. God heals him from leprosy even though he isn’t an Israelite.

We’ll also look at how unbeliever’s receive healing so you’ll have a greater understanding the next time you pray for someone.

Does this mean that God will still heal unbelievers today?

Lessons From the Story of Naaman. Check Your Ego

Today I begin a new series on the lessons from the story of Naaman; the most well known healing in the Old Testament.

This post will help you recognise pride, how it enters our lives and and hinders healing. You’ll also learn the 2 cures to pride so you can start allowing God to work in this area.

I’ve seen with my clients that pride is so unconscious, most people assume they don’t have it but, If you’re believing God for a healing, it’s worth considering if pride is hindering your healing journey.

Now back to Naaman:

Naaman knew he had leprosy but God saw his heart. He had a pride issue.
