Dear friends would you please pray for my continued freedom from experiencing fear and anxiety? I have been doing great for weeks and weeks, but the past 2 days have been horrible. I started some Christian counseling last week that dredged up quite a bit of childhood memories and just some other junk, and I just need Gods peace and to continue to renew my mind in His Word. Thanks so much for being such good friends to me. Love Lori

Thank you Father for Your wonderful surround now around Lori and any hurts from her past.
Thank you for Your comfort that heals her soul, as she releases old wounds and emotions to You.
Thank you for Your peace that comes with your presence filling her entire being and bringing calm to her mind.
Thank you Jesus that You give her rest and all is well with her soul.

Thanks everyone for your prayers and support. I have been going through a tough time recently and as Quantum Greg just said the fear started or rather intensified after a counseling session. Yet I have also received great relief from letting go of of old emotions or wounds from my child hood especially. One Christian will say go to counseling it is great and even recommend a specific place...then I just finished listening to Curry Blake & He says not to do that....even Dan Mohlar says not to do it.....and I'm just at a loss as to what to do now??? I am praying that the Holy Spirit guide me and if I'm not to go to counseling then I want this actual Physical pain in my heart to LEAVE! I'm tired of being and feeling afraid and anxiety etc.... The last think I want to get caught up in is something wrong or against what Holy Spirit & The Bible Teaches. But my husband thinks I should go and honestly I think I should go too, but now I'm afraid to go!? Ahhhh Jesus please bring me some clarity here. Thanks Again & Quantum Greg nothing you say out of Love will ever offend me.

Thanks



Lori

Thanks Greg I appreciate that. I don't doubt that I have been set free and healed of much! But when I continue to suffer anxiety attacks and pain in my heart I keep seeking God for a finished job. I'm NOT talking about going back to my past because I feel guilty over sin it's more like when a child gets molested or something of that nature and simply needs Jesus / Holy Spirit to go in there and dispel the lie that they are "dirty or wrong" etc.... and once that lie is dispelled the peace of God comes and the pain in the heart is gone. I have experienced that type of healing and I don't see anything wrong with it. But when I hear others that I respect so much preach something or advice something different I get scared and think "oh no! I don't want to get involved into something evil or not of God etc...." But if The Holy Spirit who is my counselor should bring up something from my past to heal it....I think it's ok. I just need to trust Him and keep reading my Bible. I'm still learning to walk....like a toddler....sometimes my legs get wobbly and I fall...but I know Jesus will always pick me up.

Hi Lori,

I have had a lot of training in Christian counselling and been involved in it in helping manage a Christian Rehab so would have always believed in the power of the traditional counselling or group setting counselling. The only thing is that it does dredge up all the old stuff and unless your counsellor is spirit filled and can give you support and bring you into God's presence when chatting then I think the danger is leaving sessions heart broken with open wounds. i have found that sometimes satan can jump on the back of the wounds and bring more pain instead on healing them up. I think one main power of chatting and not just prayer is that you actually say what hurts - satan can keep the pain as a deep secret that grows and grows to a massive thing in your head when it can be healed quickly when spoken out and released. I I think it depends a lot on how you work too. Maybe you could write a letter to God and read it out at counselling or in praying with someone to say what really hurts and then just allow jesus to come and heal your pain and fear. I felt God say to me the other day that I had holes in my spiritual armour where satan had pierced though my God given armour as i was either not wearing it properly or not watching my back or using my weapons - the word of God. I felt Him say that the prayers I was receiveing here on the forum and from friends were literaly patching and fixing my weak spots. I hope thats not too random. The biggest break throught we can get is just to see ourselves as God sees us. I went to a conference once and 3 different people told me that i was a beautiful princess in God's eyes. That brought so much healing and love that I don't think weks of couselling could have brought. Maybe you could skype jessie campbell - Greg c has a link on his web site. She would pray on skype if you can and is very accurate. I bought a new perfume and was touching the bottle as she said (no webcam) from oz that God saw me as a fragrance like a perfume - wow. You are a princess and God sees your as a lovely fragrance to Him and wants you free to be at peace. Bless you and may Jesus show you more vision of Him as when you see him and know that He is with you like the disciples in boat in the storm when they feared the wind and the waves , all you have to do is ask and He will asure you that he is there and He won't let you go and he holds you in the palm of His hand.

Many blessings ,
Andrea

Hi Lori,
Have you read Watchman Nee's "The Normal Christian LIfe"?
Jesus is the Alpha & Omega, the beginning & the end. He is also the Wonderful Counselor.
Jesus went into your past & destroyed every evil & has given you power over ALL the works of the enemy whom He UTTERLY destroyed!

It's all about just renewing your mind sweetie & focusing on what Jesus has done for you & given you. "My peace give I unto you..." If you choose peace thru' out your day, then day by day that peace will grow. Choose to believe that you have the peace of Jesus & that you have NOT been given the spirit of fear but you've been given the spirit [HS] of power, the spirit of LOVE, & the spirit of a SOUND MIND [you know the Truth & can recognize it & another voice you will not follow.

I've had a life full of fears & anx so I am walking this out also. I also go to my heavenly Father & just spend time in His presence & He heals me & refreshes me without me even knowing it until maybe days later. Then every time i listen to a teaching or turn on the tv they are talking about peace LOL! I just LOVE HIM SO MUCH! HE'S AWESOME!! HE'LL NEVER LET YOU DOWN SWEETIE! JUST PUT ALL YOUR CARES & TRUST INTO HIM.

Love & Hugs
