I want to preface this healing illustration by saying that its purpose is to encourage you to believe for what is possible through faith.

It in no way implies that I myself have special powers or abilities. Healing is a gift from God solely out of His loving kindness. The more one’s faith progresses, the more you are able to receive the gifts God desires to pour into your life as part of a loving relationship with Him.

At this particular time in my life, I was somewhat disillusioned with the level of visible activity of God in my life. I knew from the Scriptures that God desired to be actively involved in people’s lives as shown in the examples there; I also knew that it is expressed throughout Scripture that such involvement is God’s desire. I had studied the lives of various people of great faith from the past. After receiving a book on faith as a gift a few months prior to this healing, my spouse and I had made a renewed effort to study people who were effective in their faith and consistently saw the miraculous intervention of God in their lives. We were weary of a mundane faith. We determined in our spirits to apply whatever principles we could learn from those we were studying.

Our yard is filled with gardens containing over 30 rose bushes and a large variety of other plants. It was time for a major spring clean-up and pruning. Wanting to speed the process, I had pulled out an electric hedge trimmer to use on the plumbago and some other bushes. Immerse Yourself in the Full Healing Contemplation Here »

One of the most popular philosophies that I’ve come across on the web is the Law of Attraction.

Wikipedia says, “It takes the principal ‘Like Attracts Like’ and applies it to conscious desire. That is, a person’s thoughts, emotions, and beliefs cause a change in the physical world that attracts positive or negative experiences to them. You get what you think about; your thoughts determine your experience.” (1)

What’s interesting to me in the articles I’ve read is that multitudes of people have seen healing and success come to their lives, often after years of illness and poverty, by implementing the laws of faith apart from a faith in God and still seen it work.

Adherents of this philosophy believe that they are “intended” through the laws of the universe to be healthy and successful and they speak it over their lives until they see it happen. An email newsletter I read yesterday about it said that you cannot see success without speaking and believing daily that you are successful–the reasoning behind it being that your energy, body, spirit, and thoughts will only line up with what you are speaking and believing. For example, the necessary ideas, good energy, healing, opportunities, etc. won’t come to you or be recognized by you unless you FIRST speak them out daily and believe them.

These principles work because of the spiritual law of faith Immerse Yourself in the Full Healing Contemplation Here »

It is not uncommon for the resolution of our crises to be delayed due to some perspective of our own that keeps us from seeing the clear path or answer.

During a period in my life in which several major issues each came to a point of crisis at the same time, I had been spending a larger than normal amount of time in prayer and the Scriptures, seeking direction and relief from these situations. During my introspection, one point that came to me was an understanding of how I needed to improve on my belief of God’s positive response to my faith. I had always felt that I had a clear understanding of Hebrews 11:6, but I now realize that, up until the present time, I was approaching this verse along the lines that I did have faith that God would reward my seeking of Him, but only in as much as He would listen to and answer my prayers. However, it has become apparent that my prior perspective greatly short-changed my own well-being and spiritual progress. Immerse Yourself in the Full Healing Contemplation Here »

In the process of researching to build this website, I came across a blog by Susan Hanshaw which I enjoy reading. Her work is always uplifting; one is always a better person for reading it. Her January 14, 2008 blog is called, “How to Consciously Create Your Day.” She lists some quotes from a video by Dr. Joe Dispenza. Here is a small portion:

“I wake up in the morning, and I consciously create my day the way I want it to happen. Now, sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle down, and get to the point, of where I’m actually intentionally creating my day. But here’s the thing. When I create my day, and out of nowhere, little things happen that are so unexplainable Immerse Yourself in the Full Healing Contemplation Here »
