There are so many things that are going on inside my head, and I'm really working and praying to get them to the outside of my head. I want to focus outward instead of inward. I know that our minds can be a trap if we stay in them long enough and our emotions can lead us into a quagmire of internal intricacies.
It has only been three months since my divorce to Heidi was finalized and I have been running the gamut on emotions and feelings, from a new sense of freedom to a great sense of loss and pain...

A Question of Healing
Lord How do I walk in the power to heal? To say to the dead man rise up and to the cripple, walk?
There was once a man who had a young daughter, She was beautiful and fair and everyday she would bring him joy. He told all his neighbors about her and would have her share what she had come to know and learn. Every day she grew stronger and more beautiful until she was all that he could see. Then one day she fell ill and died. The man was heart broken and in His Spirit he wept so bitterly that he too died. But, there was another man living in the village who knew of the girl and it was revealed to him in a dream that the girl was not finished yet. The young man walked to the house, came to the girl and spoke to her. "Young woman, your time has not yet come. Get up." The young woman rose and seeing that she had been given life she immediately leaned to her father and spoke. Father, get up... What do you think happened?"
"He got up."
"Why do you think that."
"Because the daughter did."
"Did you think the daughter would rise?"
"I didn't know."
"Why?"
"Because I hadn't seen it happen before."
"Here is the simple truth. I will work in power through you to heal the sick, raise the dead, and heal the blind. But before you saw that the girl was raised your faith was simply a hope, not an expectation. After you had seen the woman raised you expected to see the father raise too. There is the difference. The expectation that it would happen."
"How do I walk in expectation?"
To walk in expectation, you must learn to surrender. Empty yourself of any control over whether or not the person is healed. Just know that they are. It is already done. Speak the words with the authority I have given you to do so. You are simply declaring a thing that I have already been done."
Will you help me understand this in the depth of my spirit by allowing it to become experience. I desire your power, your dreams, and visions for the lost, and I desire to see your kingdom come here on earth?
"I am here. I am moving and can be found everywhere. In music, art, laughter, song, sorrow. You will turn to me and you will find me. For I am no longer hiding myself from the world, and that the Son may be glorified I am opening the storehouses in heaven to make way for His kingdom. A day will come when the whole earth will be filled and the hearts of men will rejoice in their deliverance. They will walk with me and I will walk with them in the coolness of the day. Until that day I am building a new heaven on the hearts of men. The new heaven will be ushered in by the praises of the saints and will be anointed by the blood of the martyers."
