\"comeawaywithme\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Someone asked me recently during a training class I was teaching, \u201cDoes it ever end?\u201d\u00a0 She was talking about ongoing Immanuel Prayer sessions.\u00a0 I had been doing my own work for over 6 years at the time.\u00a0 Weekly sessions where I go in and intentionally meet with Jesus to let Him heal those places in my heart that prevent me from experiencing His perfect love towards me.\u00a0 She was asking if she had to do this?\u00a0 So, just to get this out of the way, the first rule is you don\u2019t have to \u201cdo\u201d anything you don\u2019t want to do.\u00a0 Jesus would never force you to do something against your will.\u00a0 That\u2019s not who He is.<\/p>\n

Now, I do admit that when I first heard about Immanuel and the concept of having a session every week, I felt the same way\u2026\u201dI have to <\/em>do this EVERY week?\u2026Forever?\u201d\u00a0 I have to report that my feelings about this have shifted to \u201cI get to<\/em> do this every week forever!\u201d I can set aside an hour or so every week to intentionally meet with Jesus.\u00a0 I can meet with my Immanuel coach, get help from Jesus and grow closer to Him.\u00a0 He helps me.\u00a0 He gets me out of the pit I find myself in so often.\u00a0 He heals places in my heart that need to experience Him.<\/p>\n

The thing is\u2026I am different since I started doing this work.\u00a0 I respond to situations and people differently.\u00a0 He is doing things in me that I cannot quantify, but I can tell you something<\/em> has changed.\u00a0 And it doesn\u2019t usually happen all at once.\u00a0 That\u2019s not what intimacy is (actually, that\u2019s a one night stand\u2026). \u00a0His healing is not always linear (I felt this way \u2013 I went back to a memory \u2013 Now I never feel that way anymore).\u00a0 Instead, the result of ongoing Immanuel sessions is this aggregate healing and fruit that just happens.\u00a0 I find myself noticing that I respond differently to situations.\u00a0 I notice areas of my life where I am experiencing more righteousness, peace and joy (Romans 14:17).<\/p>\n

But I still have a long way to go.\u00a0 The focus, aim and goal of Immanuel Prayer is intimacy with Jesus.\u00a0 Healing is a byproduct of this type of connection with Him.\u00a0 If my goal can remain to grow in my intimacy with Him, I can see why I would want to set aside time each week to create space for this to happen.\u00a0 If my goal ever becomes healing, or some other end game, it would be a lot harder to continue on.\u00a0 It then becomes frustrating and feels like really hard work.<\/p>\n

So as long as Jesus allows, or until I am with Him in Heaven, I will set aside time to meet with Him.\u00a0 He seems to really enjoy it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
