A wonderful day, Jane, swans and God's intervention.

This day was pretty wonderful. It started with an encouraging dream I had for a leader I know. What I loved was that the dream was not only about his ministry, but also about his family. Among other things, I wrote to him: „What struck me in your kitchen was a huge colourful vegetable slicer on the wall, it looked more like a candy machine from the 60s... with lots of fresh vegetables in it (carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes). For me, on a pragmatic level, it was an image that you pay attention to healthy eating and that this is very important. Symbolically transmitting vitality and freshness, but also playfulness and lightness (the thing looked really cool).“ He replies „Very cool. Thank you!“

Then I received a letter from a mum whose teenage son I had recently done a coaching session with because he was afraid to spend the night somewhere else and always had stomach problems. Of course he was embarrassed, but he just couldn't manage it. I worked with a special technique from wingwave coaching that helps a lot with these kinds of issues. She wrote to me: „He has now spent the night at a friend's house and signed up as a staff member at a summer camp because spending the night somewhere else is no longer a problem! He tells everyone that you cured him. “ I would probably phrase that differently - more like „I helped him get rid of a few blocks. And Jesus gave the gift that it worked.“ Be that as it may. I know that it has changed this wonderful young man's life to now have relaxation and freedom in this area. And weep with joy.

Last night I wrote to some friends that I was suffering from the fact that no real breakthrough has yet happened in the area of healing - neither for myself nor through me. And asked them to pray for me. One friend wrote back that she thought of the story from Exodus where the midwives say of the Hebrew women that they bring children to birth without outside help. And wrote that she thinks the struggles I'm going through inside right now are labour pains. Wow! That changed my perspective dramatically. When something hurts and you think it's just normal pain, it's frustrating. When you realise. These are labour pains - then it's something completely different... I found that mega-good and relieving.

And then I had the courage to approach the four guests at breakfast and tell them about a dream I'd had the night before in which I had to play the role of an overweight woman as an actress (including a fattening costume) and felt deep empathy for the frustration of all the futile attempts and lack of success in losing weight. Jane, one of the women said: „Yes, this is me. I have gained a lot of weight due to various illnesses. I would appreciate prayer.“

The prayer time then became relatively long because God revealed a lot of things that were connected to the illnesses and also the weight - such as the emotional benefits. I've seen it happen several times that some people were blocked from losing weight because they unconsciously feared that they would no longer belong to the community of other fat people in the family or something similar. She was dealing with something similar. Recognising and resolving this was a good thing.

I learnt from Aliss that arthritic illnesses in particular often (not always) have a component of a lack of forgiveness after suffering injustice or pain. I asked her if there were people she had not yet forgiven. And God immediately showed her some. And then there was a wonderful, long process in which she developed an image of inner strength and integrated it into different areas of her life. It was such that one thing after another unfolded and showed itself quite naturally. Very naturally and easily. When the inner process was complete, she herself offered the various illnesses to leave her.

She then thanked me for praying. And I replied: „You prayed most of it yourself!“ She then said: „But you enabled me to do it!“ I think that's almost the nicest thing you can say to me. „You enabled me to do it!“

In the afternoon, I sat in the sun and read the last chapter of Aliss„ book “Naturally supernatural" , by summarising the most important things again. I felt that Jesus was telling me to almost memorise it. And I can feel how the Bible passages she quotes and her experiences help me to broaden and strengthen my perspective on faith. I don't know it by heart yet. But some thoughts and impulses are slowly seeping in.

And then I went for a walk and saw a swan family in the canal with three very small swan chicks. I gave them a wide berth so as not to frighten them - swans can get angry, especially when they want to protect their young. I then sat on the bow of one of the flat houseboats to watch the family from a distance. They came closer and closer. Until they were right under my feet - just an arm's length away from me. I pretended to be the figurehead of the boat - maybe they thought I was a meadow of flowers. In any case, they stayed close by. I was simply touched. Soooo beautiful. Thank you, father.

The four guests were out and about in the city all day. Jane told me in the evening that she had more strength than she'd had for years. She wore her crutches almost all the time instead of using them and had almost no shortness of breath. WOW! Something must have happened physically too!

What really surprised me is how easy it was to move from emotional healing - something I'm already well practised in - to physical healing. It didn't even feel like a real step...it felt natural and natural. I am still totally surprised. Really surprised. And moved. Now I have tears in my eyes again.

I asked her if she would make me a mini-video about what she had experienced. She was very happy to say yes. I still have to find out how to get it on YouTube. If that works out, I'll let you know. I'll also try to put it on my Facebook page Kerstin Hack place.

Deeply grateful. The day was wonderful!
