We have invited Mrs. Mary Lynn Dickau for an Inner Healing Seminar for UECP. We have separate sessions for Pastors in the morning that runs for three mornings, while the lay leaders for two nights. Afterwards, the pastors would have one on one session with her and an overnight prayer retreat in Tagaytay.
The difference between our session with the lay leaders was only the pastors are being prepared to equipped on how to really pray for healing as we minister to the people in the church and praying for the healing of the church as a whole.
I was impressed with the insights brought forth by the framework which was presented to us this morning. Though I have preached on such topic on sanctification. The insights were far beyond my knowledge of explanation. I was able to understand better the doctrine of sanctification.
Inner Healing was actually about our journey with God towards Him. Most of the time we have a wrong concept with God which causes hurt, frustration, anger and revenge. We are hurt in our journey here on earth by different external forces. We are healed when we accepted Jesus as our personal saviour but the process of healing is an ongoing process.
Death is suppose to include sadness, fear, and other negative elements that causes emotional and spiritual drought in a Christian's life. We face such challenges everyday that we treat each situation as a stand alone item. Whenever, we are done with such challenge in life, it becomes a close book. But actually this is a wrong concept. We should build on our victories so that we death becomes smaller because Jesus has overcome death, and holy living should get bigger as our experiences of grace from God multiplies.
We are continually walking out of this darkened world. As we walk towards the light, our surrounding gets brighter. In every stage of this walk, when we are drawn to God or our knowledge and experience of God increases, our surrounding gets even brighter out of the darkness of this world.
Inner healing involves our spirituality, emotions and physical healing. So that as we journey life here on earth, we get to know God more and be drawn closer to our Creator until the time comes. It is walking not towards death but home.
