Mary did an excellent job tonight walking us through the LORD's words regarding the spirit of rejection, then walked us through a powerful time of receiving healing. Did it bring up any thoughts? Questions? Get talking!
Tonight was amazing. It just felt like a big smooch from God. I had a thought about how I was struggling with the difference between unloving and rejection. This occured to me... independent vs. interdependent. I think that helped me define it even a little further. Thank you so much for this class. It is a true God-send.
Tonight, I was a mess, a good one, but a mess. I knew this week would be big for me but WOW! HUGE! I think that this one is going to take a while for me to walk out of because their have just been so many doorways throughout my life. But, on to my question(ish)...at one point (I don't know if it was Mary or Dora) but one of you said "You live not knowing how to be received." That's me, it won't be for long, but I don't think I know what that looks like. Could someone elaborate on that.
AND, too, I am going on vacation next week and I have decided that it is my goal to really take my time while I'm gone to the beach to receive. Not read books about it. Not work at it. Just do it. Does anyone have any encouragement in doing that? Any specific things to do. I know I sound like I'm contradicting myself here because I don't want to work at it, but just tips I guess.
Thanks to Mary, Dora and Steven for tonight. It has marked me and I will never be the same for it. Yay Jesus!!!
P.S. I love this and I hope it might encourage some one else. I love the picture that it gives.
Hosea 6:1-3 "Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth."
Thanks for the beautiful verse. The band Shane and Shane sing a beautiful song made from that verse, too. It's good.
In regards to your question about ways to receive, check out the thread in the Unloving Post "Let's talk about Love." Someone else asked about receiving and Krissy and I both answered this. Also, if you listen to the "Receive" CD that was passed out 2 weeks ago, that's a great place to start, too!
Thanks to all for last night. I have a request. Dora, Mary, Steven, would it be possible for you to post some of the blessings you spoke over us last night? I think it would be really helpful to be able to go back and revisit your words and scriptures to remind us of the truth. Thanks Abbie
Last night showed me how much I have agreed with the enemy. He has invaded my life and woven his way around everything. Last night, I was able to gratefully accept Steven's words on behalf of my dad. But when Mary spoke on behalf of my mom, I felt a resistance to her. I rejected her words, I could not receive them. I even found myself glaring at her! (sorry Mary!) But I was not seeing Mary, but my mom. I began to feel numb and put my wall up. I have lived this long without hearing positive words from her and to hear them now seemed completely foreign. I wanted so hard to hear the words Mary spoke, but I couldn't, negative voices crowded it out. I want to break this, but it will be a messy process...

He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.
Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth."

ReplyDeleteGood idea, Abbie. Actually, I went home last night knowing that I needed to write out this blessing! Maybe it was for you! I'll post it...
