Welcome to part 2 of my study in looking at how our self-limiting beliefs or common core beliefs can hinder healing. I am specifically looking at the common core beliefs that, according to the TA Theory, refer to the messages children pick up from caregivers.
These are sometimes called the 12 injunctions.

Today we’ll be looking at 12 Self-limiting Beliefs, (which I’ve taken from TA Theory’s Injunctions) that you may be unconsciously believing.
As a child, whoever raised you, may have unwittingly communicated harmful messages or commands (injunctions) to you which you then internalised into self-limiting beliefs.
These beliefs become so ingrained in the child, that they form part of the child’s unconscious identity, or Life Script, even into adulthood.
They greatly influence, in a negative way, the adult’s interaction with the world around them, their future and self-concept.
In essence, they disconnect us from life.
Self-limiting beliefs stop us from living in the freedom that Christ died to give us. They also impact us on a physiological level, keeping us stuck on the healing journey

When Jesus healed the paralysed man lowered before him, He first declared “When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” Luke 5:20
Most people I know would interpret this as proving the link between unconfessed sin and sickness.
It is a common interpretation that the man had sins in his life and therefore either caused his paralysis or hindered his healing.
Today I’m going to share my understanding of this passage; I hope it sets you free from any confusion or condemnation that your sin may have caused or delayed your healing.

If you’re a Christian, you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, yet we don’t always understand how our beliefs from childhood can counter this Truth.
This is part 4 of my series on The Healing of the Man Lowered through the Roof and it follows on from WHY OUR FILTHY RAGS MAY HINDER HEALING
Today we look at ways in which we can support ourselves from the filthy rags which hinder our relationship with the Lord (and His healing) and adopt our true identity, as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Today we look at self-righteousness, or filthy rags as it’s referred to in Scripture. This is part 3 of the series on the healing of the paralysed man lowered through the roof in front of Jesus.
In a crowded house, no doubt numerous people needed healing. We’re told ‘And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.’ Luke 5:17
Yet as far as we know, only the paralysed man received. So why was the paralysed man and his friends so different to everyone else that day?

When Jesus saw four men lower their paralysed friend through the roof, the Bible says ‘Jesus saw their faith.’
Today we look at the visible active faith that impressed Jesus so much and I’ll suggest 5 possible ways our faith can also be seen.
In our healing journeys, how can we ensure that we have the active faith that these guys had?
Do we need to impress Jesus with our faith? What does faith without works is dead mean?

Today is part 1 of my series about the story of Jesus healing the man who was lowered through the roof. Today’s focus is on the 4 Godly friends who carried their paralysed friend to Jesus.
I’ll share my thoughts on how we recognise the right Godly friends and identify the wrong ones!
As we walk through the healing journey, we must surround ourselves with Godly friends. Right at the beginning of the Bible, God says ‘It’s not good that man should be alone’ Gen 2:18

The Bible says a hardened heart, is an unbelieving one. Today’s post is a discussion on how we can support and help ourselves with unbelief.
God wants us to have a childlike faith, but through the years we become hardened to the truth of God’s Word, sometimes unconsciously.
We pray and claim to believe Him for certain things to come to pass, but as the months turn to years, the faith we once had can dwindle.
I’m sure you’ve heard the analogy of the frog in boiling water. Put a frog in a pan, gradually increase the heat and the frog boils to death. But, put the frog in boiling water to begin with, and the frog jumps out of the pan.
I think unbelief in God’s promises can be a bit like that, especially in regard to healing.

Today we consider the characteristics of a hardened heart and explore why this hinders our healing. I’ll consider what causes our hearts to be hardened and in the next post, we’ll ponder some ideas to help us soften.
If you haven’t read last week’s post on THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER, do have a read of this first.
It is no doubt the most challenging post I’ve written so far.

I believe the Parable of the Sower explained in 3 of the Gospels, reveals why so many of us have yet to receive healing. Are you trusting in God for a healing breakthrough? Then I hope this helps…
If Jesus explained the Parable of the Sower 3 times, then it must surely be essential to our lives. Today, I’d like to talk about the parable in relation to our healing journey.
I’ll also give 7 tips to help you as you plant God’s Word in your heart.
Matt 4:4 tells us we cannot live without the Word of God.
Think about the things we cannot live without – oxygen, food, water……the Word of God is a basic need!
Pro 4:22 says that God’s word is “life . . . and health to all their flesh” which suggests that there is a relationship between physical healing and the Bible.
“As you spend time in the Word of God, the Word is actually resuscitating and reviving your body” Joseph Prince. I don’t know about you, but I want the Word to impact my physical body!
So let’s dive into the Parable of the Sower and how Jesus explained it to see how it relates to our healing.
