FYI: Free Journaling Webinar Tomorrow!

"Immanuel Prayer has been called conversations with God that transform. More than 700 people registered for our last webinar to learn about Immanuel Prayer, its components, and its uniqueness. We discovered a way to interact with God that is undeniably personal and powerful, where we could connect with the living Jesus (Immanuel) to resolve painful life experiences and bring healing to our wounded hearts.

Now, we want to introduce you to a method that will help you experience a deeper walk with God: Immanuel Journaling!

WEBINAR DETAILS | REGISTRATION: https://pjj52.app.goo.gl/xZEZOGlBz7eb9D5B2

This structured format uses a series of questions and statements leading you to a time of listening as God speak to you. Writing down what you hear God say is journaling and it is the easiest way to learn the Immanuel Prayer process.

BONUS: In this webinar, you'll also learn about a new resource that builds on Immanuel Prayer but starts from the Scriptures, taking Immanuel Prayer to a whole new level!

Hear from God. Solidify what you hear. Go deeper with God!

A Builder's Dream Come to Light....

Have you heard the message Dr Bruce Wauchope speaks regarding the message of the Gospel and mental health?  If you've ever heard me natter on about feeling our own feelings, or DID or anything, I think you might REALLY like his video.  I MEAN REALLY.

I think it's why my hubby declared years ago he wouldn't take us to church anymore...because in his mercy heart he KNEW more about the Father because He had already been revealed to him!  He had me share it with our older two today.  Talk about science and such for lessons.  WOWZERS.  

In case you want the words even more powerfully, check this out:

"We never create a relationship with God.  That's bologna.  I was taught....I had to go and have quiet time to build my relationship with God.  I never build a relationship.  Christ gives me His relationship with God and I learn to participate in Christ.  I can't build a relationship with God because no one knows the Father but the Son."

I know I shared it earlier....

It's SO good I'm sharing it again.

Welcome to reality, peeps.

Obsessed with building God's kingdom,

Kate

"Do you want to have more transforming conversations with God? Karl Lehman (associated with Jim Wilder and the Life Model) is doing a FREE webinar tomorrow to talk about how to do that. This is good stuff. Register and they'll send you a link AND you'll get the download to listen later and share with friends.

looking forward to this!"

From Timothy Jenson:

"Interacting with God is a simple idea yet most of us can neither see nor hear God, and we have some reservations about people who say they do! Even when Jesus came to be with us (Immanuel), those closest to Him had difficulty seeing Him for who He was and connecting with Him, especially when they were focused on the pain in their lives. 

What if we could show you a way to interact with God that is undeniably personal and powerful? What if these conversations with God could be transformative, changing you from the inside out? In addition, what if this connection with the living Jesus (Immanuel) could resolve painful life experiences and bring healing to your wounded heart? 

Immanuel Prayer is transforming conversations with God. 

Hear Dr. Karl Lehman introduce this model of prayer that will move you toward a deeper walk with God! 

If you want to see and hear God, if you want to experience an interactive relationship with Jesus, and if you want a resolution to painful experiences of the past that negatively affect the present, this webinar is for you! "

God's Point of View

Some of you have heard this already.

What would you do if Jesus appeared to ya and said stuff that went against your beliefs?

I remember pondering that and realized eons ago that I didn't want to argue with HIM about what's right and wrong, true and false, etc.  I saw within myself the propensity to disagree with my Maker and I shuddered and thought long and hard about the Pharisees.  They knew the scriptures but could not recognize the One who was the very expression of those words, even when He stood in their midst, Father God wrapped in a skin suit.

Enter many years of me grappling with that within myself in order to submit myself to God!

Now I take what I wrestled with then and apply it to different places in my life.  I also enjoy challenging others to take a look at their beliefs and allow God to show them where maybe they're off.  It happens so often I rarely take a minute to stop and record the quips.  

One I remember well.

To a pessimist I said, "Let's pretend the cup is half empty."

Note: no pessimist will admit they are one.  They will all say they are "realists."

I knew better.

I could tell he was going to like this conversation.  I was moving away from my usual chipper, positive exuberance into the nitty grit where he liked to dwell.

"Okay...so when you think about the empty part, how does that make you feel?"

I don't remember what he said for I am possibly a terrible friend.  Oh, and I was SO eager to finally get him with the point I knew his smart self could not argue.

"So the cup being half empty is TRUE...but it is also HALF FULL.  And whichever of those two realities you focus on will shift your emotions, feelings and make you have unpleasant or happy thoughts."

Going in for the final blow, I reminded him of the Old Testament reality which my Dad had relentlessly hammered into me from Deuteronomy (though he never told me where the principle came from):  YOU GET TO CHOOSE!

"It's both.  Half full and half empty.  YOU GET TO CHOOSE how you look at it."

Now this guy is someone I consider one of the most intellectual people I have ever met...with a mind like a ...well, I dunno what.  He's brilliant though...and in that moment guess what?  I had put something before him he could not argue into smithereens.  

Not only did it feel GREAT to be right and to be heard, it was amazing watching him change his own life over the years as he was finally able to let a lot of fears and other crud fall to the wayside.

I don't know if this is a key to affecting the religious spirit, but it sure does get under the skin of some pretty awesome people.  I always am grateful for my Dad's wisdom to my non-reality self and the way God sets before all of us each day life and death and then respects what we choose.

Rest Part 2

In Part 1 I broached the issue of rest.

Then, once I wrote it, I did it.  I rested.  

I thought you might like to know what I did.

First, as I mentioned, I made sure kids knew the rules (no knocking, no emergencies, no this and that).  Then I got myself all the drinks I'd need, went potty and then locked my bedroom door.  I took a deep breath.  

Made sure my diffuser was going strong and started playing WT.  I grabbed by favorite afghan and my heating pad and plopped down on my bed with my big head hogging all the sunshine streaming through my (still closed) bedroom window.  I got comfortable and then remembered I forgot to spray my bed with linen.  *sigh*  Oh well.  Comfort will win even though I missed one of the things on my check list.  I focused on the breathing techniques I'm learning from K. J.  

I blessed my spirit (Ruach), my soul (nephesh) and my body to rest and connect with Father (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), Jesus (of Nazareth who came in the flesh) and the Holy Spirit.  I immediately sensed tremendous peace...as I pondered the importance of me accepting and submitting to the work rest is for me.  

I think I asked Them (the three in one) things though I'm not sure and don't remember what...I was fading pretty quickly.

I felt so surrounded and held by warmth.  I laid on my right side with the heating pad on my chest and flung the afghan over top of me.  I kept socks off so I wouldn't get too hot (it still looks like winter here).  Honestly, I felt so nice, so relaxed...so PEACEFUL.  I thought about shalom and how it's God's go to reality for our brains...the "feeling" He designed us to be in most of the time...and I actually fell SOUND asleep for 50 minutes!

This is big, folks.

It was midday.  My house is full of children.  AND I SLEPT.  Peacefully.

Tell me a story of when you slept when you thought it was impossible.  And let's chat about why we fear rest!!  Some of us really, really fight it!!!

Building Community

SO exciting.

I love learning HOW to build community.  Dr Wilder's materials have helped me SO much...and now he's offering it in 2 new videos!  HOORAY.

What IS Inner Healing???

As I ponder my own journey, I realize I don't necessarily know what “inner healing” means exactly.  My innards tell me it's all Isaiah 61 freedom and reality coming into a persons' reality and inner places.  

It’s not a term I ever remember hearing during the decades I spent within the wonderful brick and mortar church systems which I had the honor of being part, where my soul learned to abandon to God.  I had no idea then that I needed massive inner healing nor did I know I was wounded in ways other than needing to be reconciled to the Father and to R.O.T.C. Jesus (Rely on, Obey, Trust in and Cling to).   

It is from that place -where I continually live- that I encourage another person to consider asking Him to teach them how to trust Him in order submit to themselves to Him in areas they previously could not…and then I have all this crazy energy to encourage them to keep going to Him to receive from Him the strength, grace and love needed while they traipse through the processes WITH HIM necessary for their own healing.   

The stuff (skills, tools, principles, etc) I’ve acquired along the way gets incorporated into my being somehow and then I just sort of wing it all, letting Him and my spirit bring up whatever whenever.  I am not technical or logical about any of it.  I don’t have “official” training.  I’ve read a lot, researched a lot, tried a lot of stuff but have been literally steered away from getting into any body’s specific “program” even though I tried to shove myself into other’s molds.  What I do with myself and others is all intuitive, sensory and intense.  

I don’t use worksheets or spreadsheets or keep track of anything.  It feels very mystical!  One lady I worked with has seen marvelous changes in her life…and I am SO humbled by that. 

Do I “do” inner healing?  Nope. I don’t think so. 

As I look at today, I think God does the inner healing and I war on behalf of the person who is heading into a new season of letting Him in to those areas.  That’s why I decided to do life coaching…because we can look at one issue (like “I’m having a hard time trusting God in an area”) and we drill down on that for however long it takes.  My goal as a life coach is to never be needed again.  My goal is for that person to have the practice over and over of going to God, hearing/seeing/receiving from Him in a way that they know that they know that they KNOW that He’s always there for them and they can ROTC (rely on, obey, trust in and cling to) Him themselves without any help whatsoever.  One of the deepest revelations I ever received is that of the temple curtain being torn in two from top to bottom!  We need no one between us and the Father because Jesus made the way for us to be reconciled to Him!

Sure, we can use some help along the way…I have receive SO much help along the way from so many awesome and amazing people…many who knew I just needed to get a grip and cling to Jesus in a particular area where I was prone (FOR VERY GOOD REASONS) to be terrified!  There’s been all sorts of flavors and stuff happening in my life.  And I so appreciate the modalities out there and think OHMYGOODNESS I would LOVE to have all them under my belt!  Truth is, with a large and young family I just don’t have the mental space to learn all that stuff….so I decided to just offer what I am and what I do have and run with that.  It’s really been helpful to a person or two…and since I have some measurable, verifiable, (etc) results, I can stand firm now in confidence saying I think this is something Papa has for me to do…  What will it look like?  I have NO idea.

Honestly the place I can be most helpful with someone else is only as I continue to be open and receptive to the Holy Spirit's work within me.  From that place I love to encourage others that it's okay to trust Him and to assure them He can do that work (whatever work He wants/needs to do) within them.  I come into agreement with Him and them for whatever they have faith for…we walk through the emotional components of trusting...and I love helping people learn to feel their own feelings when there's been decades of stuffing, running, hiding, etc.

I don't have set tools or methods...I just sort of attune to Him, myself and the other persons’ spirit and soul and then wing it.   No two people have the same set of traumas, triggers, lies, etc…in other words no one is dealing with the same set of negative and positive numbers.  There’s all sorts of variance.  Also, I’m always at a new place each day…so that’s another set of variables to throw into the mix.

As far as results, so far I see consistently that it's lovely for the other person (when I walk with them)…as somehow my faith in Him transfers to them…and they are able to position themselves to receive the good and perfect gifts He has for them..in their life with God, in their life with themselves and with others.  It’s not academic, logical, plottable, predictable or any of that.  HE SHOWS UP AND HE WINS.  Their freedom becomes their reality…and boom!   Life is forever different from that time on.  I soon fade away into the distance as a faint memory...which is just the way I like it.

Time and again they experience major life changing shifts within themselves that no one can take away.  I well know the faith in me is God’s gift to me and that in passing it onto them they are able to believe for more than they did before.  I know too, that's not my doing in anyway, but that they get the faith to believe He can and will...and then we both watch as He does His lovely stuff in them and we marvel and rejoice and celebrate…broken vessels being filled to overflowing.  When I share from my place of certainty (aka faith), they are more able to trust and feel safe letting Him into those guarded, broken and wounded places.  

My style is completely relationally oriented.  I love, love, LOVE surrendering myself, asking and trusting God to heal (etc) me, and then doing the work of adjusting to the new me which seems to pop up so regularly.  

"To live is to change.  To live best is to change most."  ~H.N.

Do you agree??

I would love to hear your thoughts. 

What does inner healing mean to you?  I always grow most when I can seen things from someone else's perspective.

To Rest or Not to Rest...Isn't that THE Question????

Today I'm working on a Plog...an audio journal I'll turn into a podcast of my day doing "Nothing" at home with the kids.  It's been a really productive day in some areas I've needed to get to...so that feels really good.

A lady I know is hosting a Facebook group for blessing the human body.  The blessing for the exhorter day of creation is one I thought would land well and be easiest to receive...yet so far I'm hitting wall after wall.  I admitted this to her, even though I felt VERY dumb...and come to find out WOW did she have some awesome ideas for me.

I have never felt okay resting.  Sure, I can sit down a lot and I can stop working...but to actually disengage my mind and body?  TORTURE.

She mentioned my vagus nerve and something else I don't remember from advanced biology class.  I went to Dr. Axe's site to see what he had to say.  I decided to drink some Singing Canary which I just paid Ruth a buck to make for me.  

I really need a NAP.

But really, even though today I am initiating the first ever two hour leave-mom-alone time frame, I realize I am afraid of those two hours.  They're nearly upon me and I'm stalling...writing you...and hoping I don't die a thousand deaths in that "me" time.

Sure, I need to spend time with Jesus.  My prayer closet gets plenty of me time...but there's something insidious I just realized....something that's lurking that's been there and then reinforced a long time.

I'll expand more on it later...for now I'll just say in my life growing up I was NOT permitted to rest.  I was allowed to waste decades of my life doing nothing of worth or value, but REST was not okay.  I was always "ON" knowing at any moment I might be needed or hollered at for something.   THAT WAS A CONSTANT, stressful struggle.

Fast forward to nearly 16 years ago when I brought my first child into the world.  I no longer EVER felt I had one single second to myself.  The stories are so numerous and I think my nervous system (or someplace) is holding onto the idea that I still have to be "on" always.

So today is the first day of working to shut that off/down.  I think I will take a nap.  The kids all know if there's a dire emergency they can knock...otherwise LEAVE ME BE.  They've got movies ready from the weekend that they didn't get to watch cuz they were lazy with their chores.  No running outside; doors locked; quietness prevailing.

We'll see how it goes.  Can I let my hair down?  Well, I chopped it off cuz I just dunno how to do that.  Let's see what happens.

I can rest.  I CAN REST.  I can rest...

What's rest like for you???
