Recently, we had a visiting speaker from Canada. His name
is Alf Davis and he has an amazing ministry. He teaches and
practices a type of couselling called: Christ-Centered Inner
Healing. This approach invites Jesus into the pain/hurt of
a person and into the memory holding that pain. When Jesus,
the healer, is asked to come, He penetrates the person's heart
with His truth, breaks through the lies that have been buried
by layers of pain and frees the person to walk in the truth
and to live an abundant life. When this healing happens in
a person's life, he/she is freed to love God more and love
others more because they are no longer held back by their
past.
This process is an illustration of my story. I had a few sessions
with Alf in Beijing, and Christ took me to several areas of
my life. I found out that I had lived with a persistent fear
that "I will never be ready". Everything I have tried to do,
I have done it, but it has caused me so much fear and apprehension.
I have had to work so hard to prove myself that I can be all
that I desire to be. I have run, fought, pressed to break
through that which has been pushing on my mind, that which
has been like a weight dragging along the ground, robbing
me of strength, robbing me of a zest and love of life, robbing
me of so much joy and so much peace. I am now able to say
that Christ has set me free. Instead of being held back, I
am now able to step out with so much confidence. I know that
deep in my heart and mind that Jesus' power will work through
me to bring healing, to bring joy and to bring words of life
to hurting people. I can finally rest. I am able to fall back
into His arms of Grace and come into His presence with thanksgiving
for the mighty truth He has brought to my life. I sing a new
song today. A song full of so much love, so much adoration,
so much gratitude for His commitment to fulfilling His purposes
in Me. My new story is "I am prepared, ready and equipped
to step out."
This new found understanding and revelation has brought me
so much love and peace. I just want to shout to the world
that Jesus is amazing.
The New Sarah!!!!
