Kent,
This is a great resource you've provided. I'll have to listen to these over a period of days. I loved The Shack. Paul Young...what a blessing. I'd love to talk to him in person.

I'm glad I found your Blog page from AidaC's. (I'm also now in the God Journey Forum "niche" hee hee). Kent, excellent posts & thoughts here. I look spending some time reading more here. I certainly have my work cut out for me!

Amy, I noticed you over on the God Journey Forum. So, Aida is the connection? Paul is a pretty incredible brother with an incredible story of redemption and healing. He has been a tremendous help to me over the past couple years in helping me see beyond the ways my experinces had shaped me to see. It's been a incredible wild ride.

Kent said...

Kent,

I agree-- I am amazed at how Father touched me from hearing Paul's story more fully from the session at Patrice's. I shared it with my family just now, and we were able to talk together for a while about being real, without the facades, and healing, and more.

Ron, I was so changed back in 06 when this story began to give me the permission to be real and to stop hiding. I was on an email list early on where Paul was regularly sharing emails that he was receiving from all around the world and I got the sense that it was this very thing that was happening with so many people. People began to feel safe enough to come out of hiding and once this began to happen people began to have unbarable burdens lifted from them and their eyes began to be opened to the most important thing....TRUTH. We are loved and we are safe at home with Father Son and Spirit because through the redemptive act of the three all that we were in need of was FINISHED and it was the lie that was keeping us in hiding. The work has been done, it all done. Now let's let the process of transfomation begin to happen so that the effects of the lie in our lives will be over turned. There is no longer anything to fear.

Kent, that's exactly how this feels! We're are coming out of hiding! We're finally feeling safe enough to emerge, and see that there are others out there thinking some of these same things.

Hey Kent,

Thanks for posting this, I will have to take the time to view them. It is truly an amazing story. Thanks for sharing your life and the things Father is doing in your heart. I find your blogs are a source of finding fathers heart. Cheers Jon

Kent said...

There are some wonderful things to think about from all these sessions.

And Jon I'm glad you are being encouraged here. All of us have something valuable to contribute that can be helpful to others.

In response to Tanya's comment... does it feel to you that we're now standing outside the door of our Shack where we've been hiding, blinking and dazed at the brightness, a bit in shock at the realization that we're emerging at last?

There are others, who've been out a bit longer... they seem a bit more oriented, a bit more adjusted, though the realization that they've been in hiding, too, makes it seem safe to trust that perhaps they can help us to understand what we're going through, and can coax us from a bit further out of the shadows that, "It's OK! You can come on out! We're out here, too! It's OK!"

Kent, you're one of those... Paul's another... we're starting to get used to being out of the holes where we've been hiding... it's getting easier to talk about...

Thanks!

"THE DARKNESS HIDES THE TRUE SIZE OF FEARS AND LIES AND REGRETS....THE TRUTH IS THEY ARE MORE SHADOW THAN REALITY, SO THEY SEEM BIGGER IN THE DARK. WHEN THE LIGHT SHINES INTO THE PLACES THEY LIVE, YOU START TO SEE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE."

Ron, all I have to say to people is "When you are ready, Come on in the water is fine."
