Open my eyes, Lord

Change how you see God, and you’ll change what you see in the mirror, and what you see when you walk away.
Your life right now is the direct result of what you believe. Keep believing what you’ve been believing, and you’ll keep getting the same experience. If you want your life to change, you have to change your core beliefs. It isn’t our bodies, our finances, our relationships that need healing - it’s our thinking that needs to be healed. So, when we change how we see God, we’ll change what we see in the mirror, and what we see when we walk away.

I’m becoming more and more convinced that what we EXPECT will determine that which we experience. After 38 years of listening to preachers, the words, “faith” and even “belief” have all but lost their meaning for me. But the word, “expectation” has a new meaning for me. It occurs to me that believing something leads you to expect it… to look for it.
Re-read the story of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, and it’s a beautiful picture of this concept. That woman fully expected that when she touched Jesus’ clothing, she would be healed. Jesus commended her for this, saying, “Daughter, YOUR faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
So, if what we expect determines what we experience, then the real challenge is how we get to the place — whatever place — that we can open ourselves, even give ourselves fully to a new possible outcome.
With so many voices surrounding us, I think the best solution is Michele’s approach… got to first unplug from the Matrix before we can see how “duped” we’ve allowed ourselves to become.
“Heal my expectations.”
Indeed. If we in the Western and Christian culture would substitute ‘expect‘ for ‘faith or ‘believe’ we would have better success in receiving what God intends for us. “Changing our expectations will change our life.”
Joel Goldsmith says we are hypnotized or mesmerized by the ‘world-thought’ system (that includes religious thought), and the only way to live as God intended, is for us to break free from it’s influence on our expectations.
As you mentioned, Michele O’Donnell has seen hundreds of people immediately healed when they ‘unplug’ from the negative beliefs of our culture by seeing themselves through the eyes of God.
We must first know the true nature of God before we can see ourselves as He truly sees us; otherwise, we will still see ourselves through religious eyes - as victims of our culture or our god.
The best & quickest way to accomplish this disconnect from the Matrix is my current search. I will share what I find in a subsequent post.
