One of the hugest blessings of being sent to Gainesville is that St. Andrews doesn't just do healing a little bit, they do it BIG. There are so many wonderful people at St. Andrews who do healing prayer, and we have been able to avail ourselves of a little of the healing anointing that permeates everything that is done here. The thursday night soaking and healing prayer nights have been a really awesome time to focus in on the Lord and to focus in on inner healing.
Shayne and I have been getting so much healing lately. Our sessions with Ken have been very humbling and liberating times, learning to re-program and to keep ourselves free of the debilitating influence of demonic oppression. One of the biggest keys I feel I've received from Ken is a powerful statement he makes about our inability to make ourselves better and our utter need and dependance on God to free us from the hurt and wounds that put the strangle on us. For anyone who has ever had the pleasure being in a session with Ken I'm sure this phrase won't be new to you. But the first time I heard the words come out of His mouth I was floored. He leaned back, looked at me and said, "When you work, Jesus rests; When you rest, Jesus works". WOW, I knew in that moment that I had been trying to ride the highway to healing all by myself.
I had been praying and praying all alone, striving and working to change myself and my behaviour. I was desperately trying to achieve inner healing without the help, support, guidance, and anointing of others, let alone letting God into it. Since that time I have been mindful of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding me in my healing journey. When I stopped fighting and allowed myself to rest, Jesus went to work and He has been mopping the floor with me, spiritually speaking, ever since.
Thanks for Journeying with us,
