Embracing the Word
Acceptance of the power of a word is an important step and opens the door for great events to happen. These range from significant accomplishments to the miraculous. However, acceptance alone is not enough to activate the full power of the word.
Look at it this way. The three key words are linked to the three planes. Acceptance to the physical, embrace to the emotional and to Merge or Grok to the mental.
Let us again examine the famous word of Jesus, “Your faith has made you whole.” Let us say you lived back then and watched him perform a couple miracles. You decide that just maybe this guy can help you get well and you “accept” the possibility that whatever he speaks to you will actually happen.
You wait in line for your turn. Five people are ahead of you and you watch their interaction with Jesus. The first guy seems to experience a miraculous healing. He second guy seems improved, but not changed that much. The same was the case for the third guy. Then the fourth guy fell to his knees in tears and said, “I know God is with you and that your word can heal, but not sure if I am worthy. My sins weigh heavily upon me. Can you help a man like me?”
Jesus grabbed the man’s hand, lifted him up and looked into his eyes, piercing deep into his soul. The man felt his emotions touched by the master and tears again flowed but stronger this time. The Jesus spoke, “God forgives your sins and you will repay by giving glory to God and his work through me. Do you believe an innocent son of God like yourself is worthy to be healed?”
“Oh, Master, I wish I could be sure that I am innocent.”
“Do you believe the words I speak?” Jesus replied.
“Yes,” said the man. “I have never heard such words before.”
Jesus then grabbed the man by both shoulders and continued looking into his eyes while saying, “Your sins are forgiven you and your faith has made you whole.”
You are watching with interest and see the man is visibly affected and falls to the feet of Jesus weeping and kissing his feet. Jesus pulls the man up and says, “Go your way, sin no more and remember to give glory to God with whom all things are possible.”
The man leaves and the fifth man seems positively affected by the healing he just witnessed. As you watch Jesus heal this person you contemplate the situation. Jesus healed the first person but then didn’t have much results with the next two and the mood seem to dampen. But then this last guy really seemed to turn things around. It just seemed now that everyone in line was bound to be healed. What was different about the fourth guy from the two that preceded him? They all seemed to accept the words of Jesus.
You think about it a moment and you realize that the fourth guy not only accepted the Master’s words, but embraced them. He embraced them to the extent that his emotional self was highly stimulated. It was as if an electrical charge of emotional energy was pouring through his being from head to foot.
Then you realize that if you want to be healed you must embrace the words of Jesus to the extent that your emotions are likewise stimulated.
It is now your turn. Jesus looks at you eye to eye and your heart begins to burn with a spiritual fire. “Yes,” you think to yourself, “I can truly embrace the words of this man.”
Jesus then speaks, and the words seemed alive with power, as if they were living things becoming a part of your very existence.
Yes, for the word to have the power of God our emotional selves must embrace it. When it is embraced a number of things may happen.
[1] Belief and faith is increased dramatically.
[2] There will be a powerful sense of purpose about manifesting the Word.
[3] Determination to fulfill the word will be strong and enduring.
[4] Other people will be positively affected by you.
Indeed, if all involved accept and embrace the Word, which is God, they are at the threshold of manifestation. Just one thing remains to ensure the Word endures.
Question: Does this also work for those people who are more “mentally” focused and who have control over their emotional bodies more than the average person?
JJ: Everyone has emotions whether they are mentally polarized or have great self-control. Now some mentally polarized people have more difficulty in allowing their emotions to embrace an idea to the extent that a point of tension is reached. But to achieve the miracle of manifestation a person must emotionally embrace the idea behind the word he seeks to manifest.
That doesn’t necessarily mean he will weep at the feet of Jesus, as in my example, but the word must be clothed in strong emotional energy to manifest.
Those who have advanced mentally will have an advantage in sustaining the manifestation as you shall see in the next installment.
Never feel self-pity, the most destructive emotion there is. How awful to be caught up in the terrible squirrel cage of self. – Millicent Fenwick
