Prayer for Healing

Remembering the Truth about oneself is the change in consciousness we need for healing. Prayer is a treatment that can help us remember the Truth that God created us in His Image and Likeness. The reality is that we are all part of the All of God and are we are all whole and perfect because we are God's reflection.

The challenge is that our physical senses steel away our memory of who we are in the All of God. The world lies to us. Jesus clearly said that we should live by faith and not by sight because our senses only give us a small part of the whole picture.

When we pray for recollection of who we are in the All of God, we begin to have revelations. Remembrance of who we are or what we are in the All of God. This is the treatment for healing because God created us perfectly. It is the change in our feeling and knowing, rather than just taking thought or repeating the prayer that causes the healing. We are God's Substance and God's Substance is us.

One way to help get to the feeling of being in the All of God or treat is to read Scripture and let it sink into the depth of our being in quiet meditation. Another is to think about God and meditate on who God is. We get quiet and let the Holy Spirit take over our feeling and we know God.

Chapter 35 of Isaiah is a beautiful prayer or treatment that helps bring the feeling of oneness with God and helps us remember who we are in God. A desert place in our life is good because it gets us to spend quiet alone time in the quiet sanctuary of the Kingdom within. The simile used here is powerful. We don't usually equate a desert with a lush garden. God brings us through whatever trouble we are experiencing and like the rose blossoming in the desert, so does our life blossom as we remember who we are in the All of God. We are not doing the work, but the Father within He does the work. What problem could we possibly have that could be more difficult for God than a desert blossoming into a garden?

Because the backdrop of Isaiah 35 is the desert, we have to get into the mindset of what the story teller sees. The fact that God conquers the desert is treatment in itself. We see the glory of the All of God as the desert blossoms. The demonstration of the desert blossoming as the rose fires up the imagination and shows God's love and power in a dramatic way. We can have the mind of Christ. Let the mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:5)

I absolutely love the beautiful commentary Emmet Fox wrote so many years ago on Isaiah 35. Here is a link to it. It is called The Garden of Allah. I have read it so many times. When I am going through a desert place in my life, which we all do have from time to time, it is extremely comforting.

It takes courage to have faith when we are in a desert place in our life. Why should we be strong and courageous? God gave us free will and we can choose. We can choose to let fear take over and control us or we can choose to continue with faith in God when we are in a desert place. Joshua 1:5-7 says to be strong and courageous because God will never leave us or forsake us. God won't leave us or forsake us because He created us in His Image. We are His reflection. It is us who leave Him. We separate our self from Him. He never leaves us or forsakes us. We doubt Him.

We can watch the desert places of our life blossom as the rose because we can choose to have faith no matter what our physical senses tell us. We can choose to be strong and courageous. People ask why God lets things happen that hurt us. We have free will. We love our free will when things are going great, don't we.

The prayer or treatment to bring our self back to the All of God is our choice. Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove His perfect will for your life. (Romans 12:2) Do not conform to the pattern of this world, do not trust your senses. Trust God. Live by faith and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) For what is seen is temporary, what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18) What is unseen is the All of God. God's Divine Substance is everywhere and everything.

The Bible says not to be afraid 65 times starting in Genesis 15:1 all the way to Revelation 1:17. Fear not, I am your shield; your reward shall be great. (Genesis 15:1) Fear not, I am the first and the last and I am the living one. (Revelation 1:17) God didn't give us a spirit of fear, the spirit of fear came from the pattern of the world through our physical senses. (2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 12:2)

We are whole and perfect at the core because we were created in God's perfect Image and Likeness. Psalm 91:9-10 "Because thou hast made the Lord, which is thy refuge, even the Most High, they habitation, there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh they dwelling." All we have to do is remember. Christ came to show us how to do the things he did and even greater things in his name. It is our choice. All we need to do is ask and it will be given to us, seek and we will find, knock and it will be opened unto us.
