Ministry of Reconciliation - deposit

    One of the more special pieces of wisdom that have been attempted to be heralded by the world of counseling is that of the inherent wisdom each person has within them. I agree with Arthur Burke when he says "every person, in their spirit, has been prepackaged with the wisdom required for every day, and every problem they will encounter." However, this post is not about that package that all of us have, it is about how to reconcile that back to the Father. For each person, there is a special way of reconciling this package back to the Father, but it is always by Jesus and His blood. The thing that changes is the journey that each person takes to realize their inner wisdom, gain confidence and trust in the resources God has placed within them to walk every day of life. Not just walk for the sake of walking, but with elegance, majesty, and godliness.

    Some of the potentials I never knew I had was working with people who have had dissociation in their early life because of a traumatic abuse that took place. What happens with these people is a part of their original self that gets divided, sometimes into a sentient being, that can "put" itself to the front depending on day or hour. Other cases of dissociation simply lock up memories and emotional wounds that are simply too painful for a child to process at the time the abuse takes place. One method I learned from Arthur Burke's ministry was to address the part as a separate being - in Jesus's - name and interact with them as I might a small child.  

    Now that I have seen how I interact with the "little ones" I know that I have a piece of my deposit that reflects both the fathering and mothering of the Most High God, and the potential to bring lasting change and healing to people who are suffering from dissociative memories. This has been reconciled first by the blood of Jesus, and secondly by the good work of interacting with people who have such memories and representing a good figure to them in order to build trust and respect. 

    I was, however, first presented a problem that I didn't know anything about, and was able to find the tools and skills to solve based on personality, life experience, and knowledge input from a few sources concerning DID. So even if I JUST had the blood of Jesus, I still wouldn't have had the fullness of the ability that I was meant to have in working with people like this, because I would have never been thrown the problem. So the second, and maybe arguably the most important step to becoming who God made me to be, was being confronted with a problem that I needed to apply wisdom and the deposit -that God placed within my spirit- to the situation in order to find the solution and learn about myself. The Father is very strategic in giving us the problems that He desire's to see us go through, but so then is the enemy, and so part of unpacking the fullness of this wisdom is discerning which problems are ours to own, and which are not. We can always just ask also.
