You Must Feel to Heal!
Physical illnesses in my view result from an individual's reluctance to feel feelings such as sadness, hurt and disappointment that live inside them and that are trying to warn them that something is wrong. Without feeling these feelings and taking appropriate action any other approach to healing is only temporary and symptomatic.

True Will
Ephesians 5:17 it says Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Be Abundant...Set a New Mental Equivalent
Limiting beliefs, just like positive, empowering thoughts, provide a foundation for our experiences and what we demonstrate. Old beliefs can leave us behind – and are often stale, lingering ideas left-over from our childhood experiences or from other areas of life that no longer carry any useful meaning. Abandoning negative assumptions about lack opens room to develop an abundant mindset. We can do that by setting a new mental equivalent that resets the dial on our trust channel – the channel we listen to that tells us to trust that we already have everything. A belief system must change in order to create a new reality.
