Riding the Undertow! WHEEEE!

We'll I seem to be one of those people who are only happy when they are going full steam ahead and fully emerged in the things that interest them. I've managed to begin a new venture, just a little further down the path into natural remedies. When taking care of my family and the people I love lines up with the Word of God, I have a really hard time not diving in head first! I think it must be the proper use of the addictive nature God gave me! I love digging into His word and learning to live the way He wants me to!

In the past month I've spent my time acquiring a miniature library of books, Young Living essential oils, a massage table and taken 40 hours of Training learning about the Healing Oils of the Bible, Vitaflex, Emotional Release and the Raindrop Technique, and last but not least Chemistry...Yes...a 5 hour crash course in Chemistry....soon to be reviewed over the next year. Can you say WOOSH!

I think the most convincing points for me are:

God gave Moses a special blend of oils and herbs to use for anointing in Exodus. God says leaves are for medicine/healing (Ezekiel 47:12). He instructs us under the new covenant in James 5:14 to Go to the elders of the church to be anointed with oil and the prayer of faith to save the sick, confessing our sins to one another so that we may be healed. Now, the bible isn't an Anointing with Oils instruction manual....so it doesn't go in to great detail about how they were used, but...If you dig a little, you will find some fascinating stuff that lines up with what science is confirming (Imagine that!) Also, remember the people in the times of the bible knew the practice of anointing and oils like we know medicine chests and doctor appointments.

I've heard many Christians point out that God tells us to Fear Not...365 times in the Bible....it must be important if He reminds us so often. We'll when it comes to oils and ointments, they are mentioned over 600 times!

We'll it gets a little more interesting in Galatians 5. Paul gives us a nice list of the "obvious" works of the flesh. Our problem, we aren't so keen on his definitions. Everyone has an idea of what sorcery and witchcraft is...yet Paul, when he wrote it in Greek, said: Pharmakeia. Sounds familiar huh? Yes, it means all those witch-y type things, but the Strong's Concordance says first of all that it is the "use and administration of drugs"- OUCH.

Now, lets not freak out and flush all the tylenol in your cupboard and refuse medical advice....just like everything else in the word, it has to be tempered with wisdom and understanding. Drugs do not Heal...they can not heal because they are a counterfeit of nature. They work by blocking messages and allow the body to not realize there's a problem. When I understand how drugs work, I can see why Paul lists them as a work of the flesh. They are a temporary quick-"fix" as long as you can survive the side effects! God ordained things from nature to help heal us, along with laying on of hands but most of all faith in Him...Jehovah-Rapha...Our God who heals us!


During my first experience with Young Living essential oils we saw results and reactions with just a small group of 4 people. Each person had experiences and they varied in several area from emotional, hormonal to physical and spiritual. The more people I meet, the more testimonies I hear and the more encouraged I am.

So, If you are interested I need about 10 generous people to help me out to complete my training...all you gotta do is be willing to give me a couple hours to "treat" you to an application of essential oils on the back and feet. OH....That is "treat" as in FREE, not as in "medical treatment" ...gotta be clear on that!

A few things have happened since I last posted. But I'll start with today and then back up and see what I can remember!

Updates

Kitchen Happenings- Preparing for my first 21 day Daniel fast. Bought some cookbooks with my birthday money, planning meals and menus is on the agenda this week as well as detoxing (mainly sugar and working on proper hydration...starting now, as in this instant.). The fast starts on January 3rd and I"m excited, and expectant.

Spirit-Mind-Body--its all about to Change. mind and body move over, there's a new leader in my life. YHWH is the Father, and Jesus is His son, and the Holy Spirit lives in me to Direct, Comfort and Lead me into all truth. Better wife, better mama, better me wait and see. (and look I'm a poet too, didn't even try to make that rhyme :)

 
Our schooling- On a holiday break right now, but the boys got a really cool basic electricity kit called snap circuits that I plan on incorporating into their day for Science. Libby and I will be starting the Ruby Doll kit and learning more about Proverbs 31. She's been working to memorize the scriptures 10-31 and has done a great job!

Home keeping Agenda- Well I think that we are trying to get this place ready to sell still? Not totally sure. Just purged through all the kids stuff. Simplified their load of responsibility and am working on my stuff now. So much stuff, no where to put it all.
