"Precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little and there a little." Isaiah 28:10
In preparing to send this for the Fruit basket, while looking through notes and journals I keep regarding healings, I noticed that while I had a long list of things that had been healed, I had a long list of things that hadn’t been. Some had been long standing (thirty years) and some just rumbled on in the background.
I decided that I would ‘batch heal’ them! Why wait any more, and why not just get my healings complete? I really went into concentrated, daily, ‘all day’ prayer for a month prior to Association, really working with the word ‘Day’.
I worked this statement from Miscellany: 331:8
Thus abiding in Truth, the warmth and sunlight of prayer and praise and understanding will ripen the fruits of Spirit, and goodness will have its springtide of freedom and greatness.
The first thing I tackled was ongoing financial difficulties for thirty years – lack of financial stability and income in spite of years of prayer. Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, my son needed £300. I knew it was error trying to frighten me, and continued knowing God’s superabundance. The deadline approached with no answer in sight, but I held fast to the line, “Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust...” (SH 495)
At the last minute I spoke to my husband (who is not his father) and he
immediately reminded me of another account which I could use. Within ten minutes my son had the £300. What showed me that this was God’s answer was that my son decided to sort out his finances, and also that my husband had without question offered the money, which was unusual for him.
However my own finances were not sorted. More work uncovered a sense of self-pity that had become part of my grievance story of life, which felt as though it was blocking all the good God was pouring my way. Flow was not happening in my life. A few days later I wrote down the question, “What is cluttering my path to abundance?” Immediately I got the answer, “You feel you don’t deserve it.” I worked again with “Day” and knew that today was the day I was clear of that imposition of thought. I was free from it, as it had no past and no future. I had been feeling dizzy, but the imposition was finally leaving my thought and returning me to peace.
I had insights and breakthroughs day after day, and suddenly realized that Love is the solvent, and I have no problem. With Love being all-absorbing, the concern with this belief has completely vanished. I have found a way to work with my available money, cutting down on things I feel are no longer needed. I realize that I do have enough income after all, and if there’s a sudden need it will be provided. Suddenly and completely the feeling of being out of the flow of abundance has stopped. The dam has burst.
In addition to this, I have seen my brother’s long-standing difficulty in finding housing resolved, and I cried tears of gratitude, relief and joy. The effect of the concentrated daily prayer has also resulted in the reduction of a large stomach, and the healing of toothache and eye strain, and eczema that has bothered me for about thirty years. My elder son is finding work after a long hunt. And the other day my washing machine broke down, and within hours a friend offered me another one.
What working with “Day” has shown and brought me is wonderful, uplifting, fulfilling, exciting, interesting, healing, stimulating, and many other feelings that I cannot express. It is now a part of my life and joy.
