Testimonies from my Mission to Scotland

I visited Scotland to teach and minister. Here is the feedback.

Testimonies about Listening Prayer Therapy from teaching mission to Scotland - land of the free.The tools of my Listening Prayer Therapy provide breakthroughs to emotional freedom and lead to Life Transformation - the gaining of a one's identity in Christ. The following testimonies are used with permission.

George has brought to life in me the freedom I experienced at salvation, but have lost over the years - freedom to be me, to dare to trust God, to feature (be a partner) in this relationship with God prominently, to experience heaven here.  I have experienced an awakening and a realization that we are always being reborn. Its not a one of.  Hallelujah!
Liz of Saltcoats, Scotland

I am grateful for learning a practical, tangible way of getting in touch with God and hearing from Him. God does speak and does change your life.
Claire, Saltcoats, Scotland.

Discovering how to get God's Word from your head to your heart, in a few easy steps of praying and listening to God, was great. And is something I will do with any other experience that keeps me bound.
Jesus is the key, but, now, I have been shown how to use it; and open the door to my life, which I had kept well locked up under lock and key.
Thanks,
Katie :-) Stevenston, Scotland

Mairi from Scotland.

George's visit has resulted in a breakthrough in who I am in Christ and where I am heading. The classes have been very beneficial and I would recommend it to anyone. May the Lord keep working in and with George. God bless,
Matthew, Saltcoats, Scotland.

Meeting George, and experiencing his Listening Prayer Therapy, has brought healing and balance to my inner life, my relationship with Jesus and my perception of who I am.
Your healing ministry has touched us all and many lives will never be the same. I can only say "Thank you Lord, and come back soon, George."
Francis, Androssan, Scotland

​Is it possible to forgive someone but not like them?
Can you forgive someone and still be angry with them?
Can you hate someone and still love them?

​I will define the terms and thus provide an answer.

1. Anger is an emotion that motivates us to confront.
2. Hate in a state with the intention to harm, do evil, and get revenge. As in, you hurt me so I am holding on to my right to get you back. Tit for tat.
3. Love has the intention to do good and wish the best for another. One may be angry with someone you love but not intend them harm.
4. Forgiveness is the decision to let go of the intention to get revenge or hurt someone back.
   

Therefore: One may forgive someone and still be angry with them, not trust them or not like them.

In general one cannot hate someone and also love them with one exception. The exception is if there is an evil spirit attacking you through a person and, in this case, you may have a hatred toward the evil power that is attacking you and still care for the person himself or herself.

People Pleasers and Codependents
How are doormats or people pleasers different from codependents?
They have two different primary motivations. At a deep level, the primary need of the people pleaser is love. The primary need of the codependent is order.

The people pleaser sacrifices authentic identity in order to gain love or approval.
The codependent sacrifices one’s own needs for care to care for others.

The people pleaser undermines marriage by not being present as an authentic self.
The codependent undermines marriage by being too involved with helping those in need outside of the family.

​About EMDR Therapy 
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.  Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal.  EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. 

EMDR therapy forces the emotional brain’s information processing system to move toward mental health.  Memories normally locked to change become unblocked with bilateral input - left right eye movements, tapping, sounds, etc.  Once the memory is unlocked then healing can occur as the emotional brain finds ways to core beliefs rooted in other emotional experiences that contradict the trauma Experience. In faith-based EMDR, God's voice may be the source of new truth and new experience. 

Outcome Studies on EMDR Therapy
More than 30 positive controlled outcome studies have been done on EMDR therapy.  Some of the studies show that 85% of single-trauma victims no longer have post-traumatic stress disorder after three 90-minute sessions.
  Another study found that 77% of multiple trauma victims and 100% of the single-trauma victims were  no longer diagnosed with PTSD after 6 sessions. Which supports another study that found that 77% of combat veterans were free of PTSD in 12 sessions, 

Recognition of EMDR Therapy
There has been so much research on EMDR therapy that it is now recognized as an effective form of treatment for trauma and other disturbing experiences by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization and the US Department of Defence. Given the worldwide recognition as an effective treatment of trauma, you can easily see how EMDR therapy would be effective in treating the “everyday” memories that are the reason people have low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, and all the myriad problems that bring them in for therapy.

In summary it is and fast and effective way of making changes to emotional-based problems that are normally resistant to talk therapy. I make use of EMDR - the essentials protocol in conjunction with Christian listening prayer therapy and other modalities as described here as Peak Psychotherapy.

A testimony: '...Now I know that I can take ownership of my healing/treatment/life. Before, I felt like something was wrong with me and the way I handled my pain. Now I realize that I was using those outlets to heal; I no longer feel like I am copping out when I go to a protective mode.
I have had six EMDR sessions and have to say that for the first time, I feel in control of my life. I feel like I have a voice. Prior to EMDR, I was paralyzed with fear and anxiety. Now, I am free to live for the first time! I could have remained in traditional therapy for the rest of my life and never reached this state of understanding. Wish I had started treatment 30 years ago!  http://www.staffordcommunitycounseling.com/emdr-testimonials/'

I am going to jump in here and define depression as the flow of life through our soul, heart and out into life. Our inner man is nurtured and maintained by this flow of life and love.
The source of the flow is transcendent - beyond what we see and feel - and this flow must flow through us and out to others in order for us to benefit from that flow. That is why Jesus said we must forgive if we are to experience forgiveness ourselves.
Depression is the disease that happens when the flow is blocked, the river of life is dammed up. With no flow of life energy, we feel depressed. Instead of a stream flowing with fresh water, we become a swamp with stagnant water.
Now if this is true and makes sense to you then you need to think about how to unblock the flow of life. Let me know if this does make sense and gives you any answers.
The flow of life means to love others unselfishly, to give generously to others, to share the blessings of life with others - not being stingy, selfish withholding.
Tesla is an example of a very humble man who pursued his love of inventions with passion and with total unselfishness, generosity and sharing with others. His desire to offer ‘free energy’ to all was blocked by mean selfish bankers who had no such motives.
I now believe that Tesla owes his great creativity to his willingness to give away what he discovered. The source of his imagination and intuition seems to reward that unselfish generous spirit.
Those depressed need to enter the flow of life by opening up to blessing others, opening up to the blessings of life, developing gratitude and enjoying loving unselfishly and audaciously. Embrace life.

I am writing a book on the healing of the Inner Child. I Believe the freeing and healing of our Inner child is important. Here are some reasons why.

You can get by without a free Inner Child and miss out when it comes to love and intimacy. You can make it through without a healed Inner Child but will miss out on a level of joy, and creativity. Freeing your Inner Child is about enjoying more of life, love, and God by finding healing and freedom of your Inner Child.

If your Inner Child is not free and healthy you are going to be anxious or depressed. If your Inner Child is freed, you will begin to experience more abundant life, vital energy, and less depression. I mean it, your repressed Inner Child is a primary cause of depression and anxiety and panic attacks.

Becoming ‘like a little child’ opens your heart to receive more of God’s love, be filled with the radiant light of God’s presence and enjoy greater access to divine creativity. You begin celebrating God’s presence everywhere and living in a stream of joy.

Freeing your Inner Child is remembering who you are, discovering your deepest heartfelt desires and removing the veils on your eyes to see life more clearly and be fully present in each moment of your life.

Your Inner Child allows you to feel life more deeply and have more active intuition (gut instinct).

Others will notice as your Inner Child gets healed. Many will sense that you are more present and make eye contact with greater ease. Some will sense that your spirit is getting brighter.

As your heart breaks open, your tears will flow more easily. It is almost that you are experiencing the heart of God. At those times you will find that the Holy Spirit flows through your prayers with great ease.
​
That means we should be willing to go to great lengths to heal and free out Inner Child.

Can a bi-polar person be considered a co-dependent?
Yes, a codependent person can be bi-polar. I believe they are related problems.
My theory is that the Super-responsible person who comes out of a Parental Inversion family system has suppression fo the Inner child which causes a life of depression. It also leads into all kind of ‘codependent’ type relationships.
The personality system that keeps the Inner Child bottled up sometimes breaks down and the Inner child breaks out and does stuff it has been prevented from doing. There are now no controls on the Inner Child and the result may feel pleasant but end up disastrous.
That is, I believe, how bi-polar gets set up.
