Rekindling Your Spirit

His hands/My hands

The greatest healing I received was freedom from anger.
When I was 7 years old I was in a biking accident without a helmet (they weren’t in use then.) My right temple hit the windshield of a car and I flew and landed on my face. My spirit was in heaven’s doorway with an angel. He gave me the choice of staying or returning and I returned. Immediately I was face down and dazed on the steet. The world was a darker place after that. I had a brain bleed but no one knew then. Learning tasks were now difficult. People told me I was stupid and lazy. I grew angry and in time bitter and learned to fight and keep others away. On Saturday night I confessed and forgave and my life has opened up! I don’t know how else to describe it, I’M FREE!!!!!!!!!!!
Two days ago the Lord gave me a dream to explain it. A friend took me to a safe facility and to a female Doctor (the Holy Spirit). She pressed a probe in to my palm, lightly at first then very hard. I could not feel any pain. She dug a little under the skin and found what looked like a green fungus sludge. She opened my eyes and I saw both palms completely infected. She pull back the skin and it was a mass of the gangrene rot. I fell asleep and awoke to my hands healed with only a black bruise in the palms.
The infection was anger, destroying my grip, strength, power and ability to possess and hold anything good. That night I felt wonderfully loopy like being under an anesthetic while the HS worked, it was great mercy. Now I know his mercy is for me!

God loves us.

I don’t know what to say. I have been to six Rekindling Your Spirit conferences. Please pray for me that I will continue to seek God every day in the way that it is taught at these conferences. I am also looking for a small group to read the book “Rekindling your Spirit”.

Saturday night at this conference was the best part for me.
My Father God spoke to every one who was at the conference, and I knew he was speaking to me. It was very sweet and tender. It was the verse Isaiah 41:10, along with a little more. Paul was speaking, but God was speaking through him.
God spoke that verse to us, which says, “Do not fear for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. So, do not fear for I am with you. Becuase you are precious and holy in my sight, because I have drawn you with everlasting kindness, because I died for you and because I love you. Welcome home, my children, welcome home.” I was affected by the fact that he said he loves me and the part about everlasting kindness. I really felt that I went home to be with my father. Since both my parents have died now, I realized how much I was missing their love. They were both very loving and sweet to me and very forgiving. I need to continue to experience the love of my heavenly Father. It was awesome to be in his presence!

Forgiveness and Mercy

RYS Community — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:50:59 +0000

I was divorced a couple years ago after being married for 24 years and it was one of the darkest seasons of my life. At the conference, I felt the Lord prompting me to forgive my former husband. This was no easy request as he was the “tough boy” and I was the co-dependent one in our marriage. Through the drama on transference, I realized what a major part this had played in our marriage. This actually helped me make the choice to forgive because I could see past the blaming. I wrote his name on a sheet of paper and nailed it to the cross. As I went back to my seat I began to feel completely exposed, vulnerable, and a little fearful. I talked to the Lord and asked Him to be my protection as I was no longer protecting myself with unforgiveness. I continue to ask God daily to help me keep forgiving as the need arises as I know this is not a one-time occurrence.

The other part of the conference that had a big impact on me was God’s extravagant mercy. I saw how often I betray God by choosing my way or ignoring Him. Over and over I felt the mercy of God for myself and for His people in a deep way that I haven’t felt in the past. The last drama where many came and dropped their baggage off at the cross was beautiful. Again I felt the boundless mercy of God.

I’d like to give a huge thank you to all who played a part in putting on this conference…your efforts will be seen for an eternity!

When I attended my first RYS, five years ago, I was in a personal crisis. Although I had been a follower of Christ for many years, I had tangled myself in a sinful relationship, looking for Godly love, but in the wrong place. Entering the conference, I was bent beneath the weight of guilt and shame. Paul’s teaching about addiction, and especially about relational addiction, pulled the blinders from my eyes. For the first time I had clear understanding of my lifelong “need” for close, nurturing relationships. I was trying to get a wound healed from the created rather than from the Creator. The healing ministry at the conference deeply impacted my life, and brought my first tastes of true freedom. Five years later I can testify to God’s healing power! Desperately, for many years, I had searched for a deep down inside sense of being loved. I longed for a way to silence the scream in my soul. I now live in the daily reality of that love and peace! Thank you Paul and RYS Staff!

God Bless you and your ministry. … My wife and I were on the verge of divorce when we went to your conference. The things God showed me while attending that amazing event gave me the strength to stick things out a little longer. …I started loving her as Christ loved the church. I started taking responsibility for my own actions. … I am happy to report that things are going great with my wife and I.

“Rekindling Your Spirit—This book set the stage for the unforgettable experience of the conference where God’s anointing on Pastor Paul Singh and his team drew us up and out of ourselves to the cross of Christ again and again. Through a spectacular blending of fervent worship, biblical instruction, and Spirit-led prayer ministry, my relationship with Christ was profoundly deepened and sweetened.”

What is the Opposite of Running?

This first blog is all about finding fresh, authentic HOPE! When we are struggling with sin, most of us run from God, because we do not think He wants to be near to our unholy hearts. That is what Adam thought. He did not listen and obey God. In his fear of God’s judgment, he tried to run and hide.

Here is an incredibly hopeful question for you to think about each day of 2009. After Adam sinned, what did God want him to do? Hint: It relates to the story of the prodigal son. If the Lord gives you wisdom and revelation into this question, fresh fire will fall upon your journey!

Because Adam sinned, he felt guilt (feeling bad for what he had done wrong). We also know that guilt produced the pain of shame. Adam knew he blew it with God and ran for cover in the hills of Eden! Can you imagine entertaining the fantasy of being able to hide from the living God of the universe? Are we really that arrogant that we actually think we can live life apart from God?? Yes, we are!!! Ok, so what is the HOPE in all of this???

God wanted Adam to do the opposite of what he did. The desire of a good father is to have their child talk to them about what they are struggling with. In Luke 15, the prodigal son shares the secret to receiving the gift of grace within the painful struggles of life. He realized he needed to go back home and talk to his Father.

The prodigal son did the opposite of Adam. Instead of running from God, he returned home to find his father running to him! This is the moment where grace flowed into his discouraged heart. His father loved him so much that he did everything possible to let his child know that he still belonged to his heart within the painful struggles of his life.

The next time you are struggling with discouragement and wanting to avoid God, stop and re-evaluate the slippery slope you are about to go down! Then, choose to return back home to the heart of God and start talking to God about your struggles. As you come to your senses, watch the relentless power of God’s love fill you with a sense of acceptance within your human struggles that allows you to come home to the understanding heart of God.

Finding God’s delight in you when you have disgust for yourself…well that is HOPE. That is the reality of finding the goodness of God within the dirty manger scene of our hearts. The birth of hope is realized when we daily hear His voice and open the door to Jesus. The King has arrived! He is the one who brings us home each day of the journey to the Father’s heart!

I look forward to hearing your responses. After listening to your hearts and much prayer, I will write my thoughts to you each month.

In His kind strength,

-Paul Singh
