Key Wellness & Spiritual Self-Care Strategies (from Session 13)

View healing as lifelong, progressive growth
- Healing continues throughout life; you gradually “get lighter” and become more like Christ over time.
- Growth is framed as moving from darkness → light and from unhealed → healed → anointed.
Practice the “anointed kingdom lifestyle” by choosing spiritual input
- The central mechanism is letting the Holy Spirit fill the five senses of your spirit (instead of satan/darkness filling them).

Ears of the Heart (hearing)
- Continuously listen for “father” words (not fear/demon influence).
Eyes of the Heart (seeing/vision)
- Hold God’s revelation/imagination instead of distorted “world news” pictures.
Pondering (mulling the word in the heart)
- Like Mary: ponder/ruminate on the rhema (spoken) word you receive.
- The heart is described as having a “brain” (citing HeartMath), influencing mind and body—used to support the idea that what you ponder affects you.
Inner Will (conviction → speaking)
- Choose convictions (not preferences): decide in the spirit and speak forth what you’re convinced God is doing.
Inner Emotions (emotion → action)
- Emotions are treated as byproducts that move you into action.
- Kingdom emotions lead to kingdom actions; fear/sullen negative emotions lead to poor outcomes.

Wrong cycle (darkness birthed):
- Fear thought → imagined failure → ponder failure → speak refusal → emotion of failure → “down” action (turning job down).
Right cycle (light birthed):
- Holy Spirit thought → vision of success/anointing → ponder that vision → speak agreement/faith → kingdom emotions → action (accepting the job).

God’s timing is emphasized over your timing.
Warning against trying to produce outcomes by flesh/self-effort (“self accomplishes nothing”).
Encourage total obedience once you’ve heard God’s direction.

Suggested synthesis of two approaches:
- Get a rhema/revelation word + get a vision (first two senses).
- Then ponder → speak → act (the latter three senses).
Framed as a “bundle” that enables breakthroughs.

Word (hearing): God promises.
Vision (seeing): stars/fulfilled promise.
Pondering (not wavering): resist accuser thoughts; grow strong in faith even with no physical evidence.
Speaking (inner will): confess reality (“father of many nations”).
Emotions/action (obedience): follow steps God gives (circumcision) leading to fulfillment.

Journal prompts:

What dreams has God placed in your heart?
Are you pondering them (3rd sense)?
Are you feeling kingdom emotions and speaking what God says (4th sense)?
Are you taking obedient steps along the path (5th sense)?
What steps are you supposed to take today/this year/this month?

Routine encouragement:

“Focus for the year” is set by asking God in January.
Daily direction comes via “tuning to flow” each morning rather than one-time annual listening.
Contrast: “praying without ceasing” / abiding in Christ vs “thinking without ceasing.”

“Tuning to flow” and abiding in Christ are positioned as less mentally strenuous than constant analytical reasoning.
Use prayer/flow for guidance; seek wisdom/knowledge through alignment.
