Listening to the Kids

The meditation led by Terry Churchill just un-did me. I was astounded, stunned with what that revealed to me about my cluttered heart. (“cluttered” barely describes it)… I prayed, in profuse tears, “Jesus, You have to really show off and be to me all that You are for this to all get cleaned out.” I had a sense of hopelessness while doing the meditation, sitting at the table with Jesus, when I saw what was in the cloth bag. It was graphic. I was about to share it…but am prompted to keep it to myself…God is truly at work in this series in a deep way, such as I could never imagine.

I am so very thankful that I have the equipment for viewing these sermons. Thank you Terri and Greg!

Brian!
That’s absolutely right on.
I am going to print that scripture out & post it in my home.
Thank you for posting it!

Thank you! Charley!

I shall do that!

I think this is the most challenging “journey” I have ever experienced. This is extremely difficult for me and foreign. It hurts! But I can’t stop!

My thought just now is Rev. 19:7, about the bride and marriage supper of the Lamb. “…bride has made herself ready…” Could this be part of that preparation? I think the Holy Spirit has really rolled up His sleeves and is hard at it on that Master Potter’s wheel.

This has been a difficult week for my soul – it feels paralyzed. Have had to shut everything down – stay away from people because I am so overloaded with pain, mine and that of the people I am around. I haven`t been able to pray or be with God. I feel isolated, experiencing hell.

This sermon and meditation have helped break that down. I used to do this internal child finding but stopped because it`s difficult to do it alone and I felt too self-absorbed. It gives me great comfort and assurance that it is okay to do that – that it is a good and beneficial thing to do. I am so messed up right now and just have to trust that Jesus says it`s okay to come to him with all this mess.

Nicole, I so relate with what you wrote! At one time, I had to shut down and stay away from people too. This week I could feel my toxic turmoil of sediment stirring from the bottom of my heart. I was frightened after Greg’s first message in the series. But God was drawing me, so I “fell” into His arms. Make sense?

You sure made sense to me. I wish you and I could get together. I am in the Puget Sound group, on Whidbey Island, WA state. It would be fine with me if Jim LePage gives you my email address. [Jim, did you catch that?]

This thing we are in the middle of is like un-chartered territory. I am so eager to get a copy of the Undivided book.

Yes, I too thought it was self absorption. I denied its value. I had been taught that “you died…” [Col. 3:3] so this is just that old flesh trying to rise up. Greg though, he has taught me [us] that we can actually invite Jesus to teach us about the root. I have kept stuffing it down. I have had some stinging memories this week rolling into my mind’s eye. I have asked the Lord to show me the root. WOW!! What a trip into the caverns. I have had some healing already. THIS IS WORKING!!!!

Thank you, Jim. You do so well with all this tech stuff involves. I appreciate you!
