An NLP Technique to Help Christians Apply Their Faith in Jesus Christ |
by Doug Cartwright.
When you live by faith you
believe in the supernatural power of Jesus to forgive, strengthen and heal you
amongst other things. The word 'faith' in the New Testament can be translated as
'confidence, belief' and 'trust' and at least part of these processes are
operated by your mind in conjunction with the power of God.
You can use the process below to purposefully apply your faith in Jesus for
psychological and emotional healing. I have used it to powerful effect with
myself, a coaching client, and it has been field tested and approved by a
Christian NLP practice group in the USA.
The Touch of Jesus Technique
'A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees "If you are willing,
you can make me clean." Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and
touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately the leprosy
left him and he was clean.' Mark 1:40
'And everywhere he went...They begged him to let them touch even the edge of His
cloak and all who touched Him were healed.' Mark 6: 56
I have found the following immeasurably beneficial and I hope by following the
same instructions you too will personally benefit. Above you read an excerpt
from the life of Jesus.
But it is also an excerpt from the life of the man who was once a leper. Imagine
you are that man, the leper. Imagine, kneeling before Jesus wanting with every
fibre of your aching being to be clean, to be released from your dis-ease and
pain.
Have you ever held your breath for ages - and then released it? Have you ever
carried REALLY heavy shopping until you thought your limbs were going to come
off - and then dropped it all at the end of your journey?
Imagine now then, the feeling of relief of the leper as Jesus touches you, and
the healing flows in and the pain dissolves. See the hand of Jesus above
you....experience the change...
Now, bringing to mind old pains and hurts, imagine them touched by the very
healing hand of Jesus Himself, the all powerful God-incarnate for whom nothing
is impossible. Believe that nothing on earth or in your mind can stand before
Him and the healing He is imparting to you.
Feel your release from. . . . . . . . .
Imagine His hand going with you (as big or as small as you need) as you move
along your timeline into the past or into the future. Watch as his hand touches
the scenes and frames that have caused you pain - see and hear and feel them
being transformed and made again according to His Will.
Take time to allow this to happen....
Give glory to God for putting these abilities into the minds of men. Give thanks
for the frames that He set for us that allow us to experience such healing as a
result of His Words.
Amen
Give this a try. You will be amazed at how effective it is.
God Bless
