What doors are you KNOCKing on? (Be Healthy His Way Vision Study insight)

(This is a continuation of journal insights of a Be Healthy His Way Vision Study that we are currently hosting.  We are diffusing Young Living Envision or Frankincense essential oil during our study time.  I personally am diffusing Envision.)  

Scripture Insights:            Matthew 7:7

“knock and the door will be open to you”

Another action word … KNOCK.  Have you noticed that every action has a positive God response?  Knock, that involves a door whether it is a physical door or an imaginary door (how many times have you gone to your friend’s house and the door was open but you still “knock knock” on your way in?).  Ah … now that takes me down another trail … how many doors do we “imagine” in our path that aren’t even there but we allow them to slow us up or … egads … we don’t even go through the opened door but stop or even worse, turn around and leave.  Think of the times you have done this in the natural and then ponder or ask for insight in to the number of times you’ve done it in your mental, emotional and spiritual realms.  Wow.  Just a bit humbling there for me.  Definitely have got some time on my knees to repent as I allow Him to bring to mind times that I have created a door where there was none.  Yip, another area to put on my AFT list to get God’s perspective into my amygdala so my fight or flight, safe/unsafe aspect are aligned with His perspective which I am walking and growing in trusting more and more every day over my own perspective. 

What door(s) are you at?  Are you KNOCKing boldly?  Or not KNOCKing at all?  What’s holding you back?  You’d be surprised what is stored in your amygdala that is impacting your ability to proceed in this area.  It may have served a purpose in your past to keep you safe; however, often times the perspective was for a precise time (like as a 2 yo) and no longer serves as protection for you but rather as imprisonment for you. 

I find myself knowing that God wants to prosper my family.  We have had prophecy’s that affirmed Words that we had gotten directly from the Lord in regard to all that we have resources of to serve others to greater measure.  I KNOW this.  I KNOW what God has shown/told me specifically.  I BELIEVE Him and yet … when it comes to finances / provision, I tremble at the thought of even knocking on the door to open it have it come gushing out covering me and all those around me.  Are you kidding me?!?! I have so got to AFT through this hold that I have allowed the enemy to put on me.  If I don’t value myself enough to stand on the promises of God that all my needs are met and met in abundance … I should at least be bold in going after it for the people (that includes you guys!) that are surrounding me.  But wait!  It is commanded that I love my neighbor as I love myself.  Ut-oh, I guess I am and I’m not liking how I’m loving myself.  I know the areas of lack in my needs (not to mention wants) and its all there just waking for me to ASK, SEEK and KNOCK.   For me to be able to shower my neighbor (that includes you guys) with everything I want to shower you with I had better get over the lies and deceptions of the enemy and fall in LOVE with who God created me to be before I even fully understand it all and get busy ASKing, SEEKing and KNOCKing. 

Oh, my goodness.  Oh, HIS Greatness!  Just insight over one verse and I’m already feeling lighter, freer and bold at going after AFTing with Holy Spirit guiding me through the things that I need to release and firmly put in place GOD’s perspective and promise in my life.  Mind boggling how I could have lived this many years of my life in this bondage that is not in alignment with who He says I am.  I thought I had gone through a lot of healing and peeled many layers of my “onion” life … talk about accelerated peeling and freedom gain … so thankful for the doors God has opened in my life that I have gone through to learn and be certified as a practitioner and soon as an instructor to be able to help others accelerate in their God purposefully created being and life vision steps.  

Oh my, just got to take time out for an energetic happy praise and celebration dance.  Who’s joining me? 

PONDER POINT:

What areas of your life are you choosing to break free and boldly KNOCK to open the door on?

What are you SEEKing? (Be Healthy His Way Vision Study insight)

(This is a continuation of journal insights of a Be Healthy His Way Vision Study that we are currently hosting.  We are diffusing Young Living Envision or Frankincense essential oil during our study time.  I personally am diffusing Envision.)  

Scripture Insights:            Matthew 7:7

“Seek and you will find”

The action step here is “Seek”.  It’s a norm to find something when you seek.  My thoughts then go to if I’m not finding something, is it because I’m not seeking?  Am I being impacted by something from my past that is holding me back?  Am I afraid of what I’ll find?  Do I not have enough trust in God to take the step He lays on my heart to take because I might fail?  I have a bulletin board that I put cards with thoughts and ideas that God has inspired in me to take and do.  I sit here now and look at the board and know that they are all great things and easy for me to do.  The majority, I have not done yet even though I know they are all great ideas and even come from my areas of strength.  My stomach is heavy and a bit in knots because … I know the ideas were spoken to me by God and no one else.  Thus, I know IF I take the step and DO what He has given me insight to do … THEN it can only have the purpose of victory and success.  Doesn’t matter what it looks like in the world’s eye (who shows up, what others think or say, etc.).  I’m wrecked as I think about all the examples in the scriptures where Jesus spoke of great faith all because He said to do something and the person (quite often a non-Jew) would turn and take the first step to head to do despite what his eyes or fellow companions were saying and thinking.  Numerous recorded accounts showing that when the person did what Jesus told them - even if they couldn’t understand it, why or how – they opened the portal for Heaven to come to Earth to make it happen in their expectant journey for what they had come seeking.   

Knowing all this, why am I not eagerly DOing the thoughts and ideas that God is downloading to me.  He only gives good gifts.  He sets me up for success.  He will not ask or tell me to do something that would bring me harm. 

Yip!  You guessed it … I’ve add this to my AFT list to take to the Lord and go through clearing.  I’m so ready and eager to have the heaviness off my shoulders and chest as well as the tightness of breath when I look at the board of great, doable ideas and that doesn’t even describe my physical reaction and shut down when I actually think about taking an action step and implementing even just one of the suggestions.  Oh my, YES! It is time for this block to be gone.  I am breaking free to be clear to step and DO as He lays on my heart and mind not worried about response or turnout as I KNOW if GOD SAYS IT … It has purpose and Victory. 

PONDER POINT:

What things are you not “seeking and finding”?  

What’s blocking your forward movement?

Are you ASKing? (Be Healthy His Way Vision Study insight)

We have started the New Year by offering an opportunity for those inspired to seek knowing who God says they are and their purpose.  I feel lead to share my journey here that I experience through hosting this study.  I can already tell you just int he preparation for the study ... my life has been rocked and all the better for it.  I am totally looking forward to what is to come.  Excited for all those that are choosing to be a part of this Be Healthy His Way Vision Aromatherapy Bible Study.  We are diffusing Young Living Envision or Frankincense essential oil during our study time.  I personally have chosen to use the Envision essential oil.) 

Scripture Insights:

Matthew 7:7

“Ask and it will be given to you” 

Wow, He had me on the first word.  ASK.  I instantly knew this was an area that I needed to do some AFT work in.  How many times I have experienced and seen others be quieted or reprimanded when they asked for something or even possibly worse, have something else taken away always because they asked for something they couldn’t have.  Talk about impacting a person’s life.  Depending on their perspective, they might not understand that they are not in trouble for asking, it’s just the person being asked responded poorly because they were frustrated at not being able to give what was asked.  This then gets stored in our memory system (amygdala gland) as a “unsafe” or “don’t ask” survival protection mechanism.  The devil is so creatively sneaky.  We as children become programmed to not ask for something unless we know it can happen or we can make it happen ourselves.  This then overflows into our spiritual lives.  Because of the response and our amygdala gland programed to protect us from asking in the flesh / world way, we do not exercise our birthright of ASKING from our Heavenly Father who has to give to us freely, so we can have life abundantly.  Think about it, if the enemy cuts us off at the youngest of ages … then ASKING is a nature part of our created purpose.  How do I know?  Because there are numerous scriptures in the Bible telling us if we will ASK. 

Taking a break to go do some AFT work to remove old mindsets that are keeping me from being able to fully live as purposefully created.  I'll be back!!!

PONDER POINT: 

-  So, what’s keeping you from ASKING and receiving?  
-  Is this an area that you need to work through? 
-  What are things you have wanted to ask for but been frozen in doubt, fear, unworthiness so haven’t asked yet?

It's MONDAY ... from ugh to Exuberant JOY!

It’s MONDAY!!!

I must admit … I wasn’t quite as excited about today when I first awoke.  However, in my seeking and planning of the day my hope and excitement of the day has burst forth.  Yet another blessed delight in my life. 

As I sat to focus on the steps of my day and the needs of others asking for my assistance, I turned to whom I seek my guidance.  In the days of so many seeking my services, my eyes rest upon our house and its state of neatness … it reflects that it has not taken priority over the calls, sessions and life events.  My heart constricts seeking affirmation that my husband and sons, my #1 mission field, are not reflecting the same condition as our house.  Since I was a little girl I remember earnestly praying for my husband and children asking God not to come again until I got to know and love them well.  I used to laughingly say, “He honored my requests and my prayers held off the second coming.  Now I have my husband and sons, so you’d better be ready or putting your own pleas to the Father as my prayer had been answered.”   Today, as I contemplate and seek direction, I ponder do I “know and love them well”?  My mother’s heart yearns to know and hear a resounding YES.  The reality check of my flesh replies, “You can always do better.”  Talk about constricting my heart and stopping my breathing.  However, my perspective of looking forward frees my heart and releases my breath as once you experience doing something you are then able to seek new ways of doing it even better.  It’s not a matter of “failing” it’s a matter of reaching a “new level”. 

I know scripture says that as I do His what He asks, He will cover my family.  My faith is every growing and this wife and mom’s heart knows this but sometimes there’s a still small voice that is contrary to the promises I stand on and it must be bound and squished.  In my seeking affirmation for my steps Luke 7:27 and Matt 7:7-8 are brought to my awareness today.  So, in my curious state I look up the references and my heart overflows with the small ways the affirmation of obedient steps I take are shown. 

Matthew 7:7-8 (AMPC)

Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.

These Words sooth my heart and prompt me to continually Ask, Seek and Receive (It’s not begging its sowing seeds, standing declaring and decreeing the scriptures, and purposefully reaping my harvest!)  especially on behalf of myself and my family, my #1 mission field.  I know the passion that burns within me and I trust that the Source that created me with that passion knows my heart and loves my family that I was gifted even more than I do … which is mind boggling as I know the intensity of my love for my husband and sons. 

I give thanksgiving praise for the affirmation and eagerly look up Luke 7:27 to see what was written for just this moment in my life and I find this …

Luke 7:27 (AMP)

This is the one of whom it is written [by the prophet Malachi], ‘Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You, Who will prepare Your way before You.’

Oh Yeah!  Talk about major WIN!  Talk about affirmation.  As long as I am seeking His guidance, I will have VICTORY … even if I stumble and my actions choose less than His best for me.  He loves me so much.  He guarantees my victorious success despite myself because He sends His Messenger to prepare the way for me.  I must take the first step for my life to open for Him to do what He does so creatively well.  It’s not about meeting other people’s expectations or even my own expectations … its all about meeting His expectations which may not be easy, but they are always simple and always start with just one step where He always meets us and carries us from there. 

So, it is with a renewed and energized confidence that I now look to this Monday with exhilarated hope (exceeding expectation) of what blessed Joy this day is going to bring to myself, those I encounter and the One who created me to be His Joy.  I already know the day is filled with greatness and I get to be a part of it because I’m choosing to take the first step of doing.  Look out World … here I come, love, laughter, hugs and ALL!

What step are you being asked to take this grand day?  Are you dreading or expecting?  Boldly stepping or frozen in place?  

Thank you for the investment of your time.

Doing or Judging ... Which do you choose?

Father God, Yahweh, Jehovah-Jireh,  

I give thanks and praise to you for all you are doing in and through me.  My heart is filled with peace, joy, and anticipation for what you have for today.  With the authority, you have given to me, I speak to my eyes to be open to see, my ears that they may hear, my heart that it may receive and my mind to understand the insight you have for me today.  Thank you for your loving, faithfulness.  In Yahweh, Jehovah-Jireh's name, I pray, Amen.  

Today, I'm lead to Matthew 26:6-13:  

The Anointing at Bethany

^“6 And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, ⁷ a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. ⁸ But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? ⁹ For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”

¹⁰ But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. ¹¹ For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. ¹² For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. ¹³ Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” (NKJV)

Wow, just as in life, there is so much going on in this passage.  We could look at the stigma of Simon "the leper".  We could focus on the value of the "very costly fragrant oil".  We could focus on the awareness and understanding of the disciples who have been under the teaching and life experience with Jesus.  We could ... there's so many facets of this text ... today, I'm drawn to the woman and oil.

Fact, we know it is a very costly or expensive oil.  Scholars have researched and have established a general value for it; however, for today, we are going to accept the understanding of The Word that it was very expensive and valuable.  (For those that desire to know the value ... have fun and dig into The Word to quench your desire ... you will always come away blessed.)  This oil was precious to this woman, most likely (from my limited studies) it was a gift to her that had been handed down through the generations.  This raises the value abouve the world's value system as it has heritage and eotional value to it as well as the financial value.  

She broke the oil and poured it over Christ's head as He sat at the head of the table.  Wow ... there's even more to ponder.  There is so much symbolism in pouring it over His head.  There is symbolism in that He was setting at the head of the table.  However, for me today, I note and accept these things as showing the respect and honor that was being given to Christ while He was in Simon the leper's house.  

So, here are the disciples who have experienced life under the teaching of Christ.  They KNOW Him on a very personal level.  They are at a gathering and are accepting the respect and honor being given to Christ with Him being placed at the head of the table in another man’s house.  However, when a woman comes bringing an alabaster box of oil which they are fully aware of the financial value and sacrifice on her part … their judgement and level of respect and honor of Christ is that He is not worthy of such a valuable sign of reverence.  This judgement from they who have laid down their previous lives to follow Christ.  How often do we do this?  Were they put out because of the financial waste? Were they responding in pride? Do we look at an act of another and make the judgement that we know what is going on in their life?  What they are being led by the Holy Spirit to do?  Do we stand in pride thinking that we know the full circumstances, conviction and reason for the action?  Is it our place to judge the action of another?  Do we want to stand in the likeness of the disciples here and receiving the rebuking of our Lord?  

Honestly, no I don’t.  I desire and am striving to step up in my level of faith.  To know my LORD and Master such that I know what is pleasing to Him and do it.   As well as support and encourage others when they are walking in obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit in their lives.  It’s not my place to judge them for their action.  We are given the authority to judge the spirit that it is done in however.  It is my place to judge the spirit behind the action and to pray for the situation and uphold the proclaimed victory that is Christ’s in all things.    

Jesus said, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. ¹¹ For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. ¹² For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. ¹³ Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

The oil was used to prepare Jesus’ flesh for what was to come.  His burial.  Our Salvation.  Our Freedom.  Our Life Eternal.  This resonates deep within me.  God has called me and blessed me with being a woman with a ministry that allows me to get to anoint others with oil.  It is such a humbling experience to get to be His ministering vessel to those He brings to prepare them for what is to come.  The spiritual and emotional side of the essential oils just ignites a passion in me that, for those that know me … can take me from a lethargic state to fully energized in an instant.  When Jesus was anointed with the oil … God was providing support and preparing the flesh for what was to come.  Just as we have feast celebrations to end the season we have just come out of and celebrate the newness of the season we are heading into.  The same is with our emotional and spiritual side of our lives.  God provided us His tools, one of which is essential oils - which is evidenced in Scripture from Genesis to Revelation - to help cleanse, break off past seasons in our lives, and prepare us for what is to come and be done in and through us in our new season.  I am always humbled and amazed at what the Holy Spirit does when another comes desiring to break from the past and rise to a new level in a new season.  It is always different, just what the Holy Spirit knows is needed.  Sometimes it comes with deliverance, sometimes with prophecy, always it comes with His love flowing and into the deepest depths of their soul.   

So today, I thank God for drawing me to this scripture.  For this affirmation that it is my place to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and not to give heed to those that are scoffing out of their limited understanding.  There are those that take the position of the disciples who scoff and put down what the Lord is being asked to be done.  Every day as I dive into knowing Christ more, I am constantly receiving new insights and levels of knowledge and wisdom in the purpose and how to use the essential oils He has brought in to my life after I said YES to Him.  When others speak against God’s teaching in using the essential oils (we’re not even going there with discussing what happens when you blend scripture, essential oils and prayer together …. Oh my, my, my WOW!) to support our flesh, emotions, mind, and spirit … it is mine to stay focused on His leading only and not receive nor judge them that are not at the level of understanding.  Every day I stand in awe of new levels of enlightenment that He brings and am ever more aware of just how much I don’t know and am so excited to see what’s next.  I am so thankful for the heart and passion He created me with and that I no longer bury my head in lack of understanding instead digging deeper in to Him to receive more understanding.  I choose to be one of the one’s using oils to prepare self and others for what is to come rather than one judging, scoffing, rebuking from a perspective of limited understanding and disrespect.

For those that would like to experience essential oils and especially those that want more with the Holy Spirit leading the experience, myself and/or one of our Be Healthy His Way team would be honored to come along side and support you on your journey.   You can achieve emotional release whether you are a Believer or not … however the synergy effects of salvation, scripture and prayer bring a level of freedom living of its own accord high above all else. 

It is our desire for you to KNOW God, to share His Word with you but also to share our lives with you in love.  We love you where you are and are honored to support you on your journey to get to where you want to be. 

Thank you for the investment of your time. 

May you hear and receive what is yours to hear from the sharing of a portion of my insights. 

Be blessed in the Name of the Lord, Yahweh, Jehovah-Jireh.
