Thanks. Will you be my prayer partner in this? For one, you're more familiar
with this than I am, and you're knowledgeable. Plus, I haven't learned to
hear the voice of the Lord, although I've been His child for 23 years now.
No one's taught me these things, so I need someone to help me, until I can
do it on my own.

> When I sat down to pray, in my thoughts I just asked the Lord

> Immediately, I heard the word "Womb" spoken and I instantly

> picture I was seeing in my mind. I also immediately saw my mom
> attempting to give birth on a surgical table and I could see
> myself inside her womb, and upside down, and struggling to get
> out. I felt, as I prayed, that is, as I viewed the memory before
> me in my mind, as if I were tangled up and unable to break free.
> That feeling instantly confirmed I was actually seeing a memory I

> mind, by the way, never forgets anything but stores every single
> event of your life in various locations of your brain which the
> mind itself, by way of emotions, can tap into at any time for any
> reason. Also in this memory picture, I saw two figures that I
> identified as doctors and they were standing on either side of my
> mom. Jesus was off to my right as I saw the memory unfold before
> me, and standing a few feet further away from all that was going
> on. In between where Jesus was standing, there was a dark figure
> standing closer to my mother. I almost, at the second I saw this
> dark shape, asked Jesus what, or who, it was but then I suddenly
> knew. I knew because the Holy Spirit revealed it to me without
> speaking a word. It was the Enemy, a lying spirit, speaking to my
> mom generally, and to me specifically. What was the lying spirit
> saying? Oh, things like, "You are trapped. You aren't going to
> make it. You are going to die," and many other such lies. Make
> no mistake about it. These were lies being spoken to me, and to
> my mother, and to anyone else in the room that might have been
> listening on a spiritual frequency, sort of speak. At this
> moment, I looked toward Jesus to see what He might say. I felt
> His answer and no words were spoken but His answer was, "You can
> make it. I'm here. I have everything under control. Just
> watch." I did.
>
> I watched then as I slipped right through the birth canal and
> the illumination of the room seemed to instantly brighten. I saw
> a little baby boy being born who was so happy, he said as he came
> out, "I born!" I looked over again to where Jesus was standing
> and he was clapping his hands and saying, "See? I told you that
> you could do it." The rush of emotional joy and happiness I felt
> at that moment still gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.
> This entire private prayer session I had lasted perhaps 60
> seconds, if even that long, and it was over as quickly as it had
> begun.
>
> So, was I really seeing an actual memory? It is my opinion,
> based upon literally thousands of hours praying with others, that
> I indeed was seeing my own birth. Spiritually speaking, I was
> also seeing what Jesus saw. Is it real? It is as real as any

> have done studies on groups of people who do, indeed, possess such

> uses to keep the lie hidden. Even after learning these basic
> techniques below, you will still, from time to time, need
> assistance when unable to locate the original source of pain which
> has been triggered by a current experience.
>
> Step One. Focus on the present emotion that is presenting
> itself to you at the moment. It might be fear, confusion, anger,
> hate, panic, guilt, anxiety, shame, condemnation, jealousy, a fear
> of being trapped, suppressed, held down, or helplessness,
> embarrassment, death, suicide, a sense of being powerless, or any
> other emotional dynamic. Whatever emotional feeling stands out
> the most at that moment is the one you start praying about.
>
> Note. In my experience described by the turtle trapped in his
> shell, my presenting emotion was the feeling of helplessness and
> being trapped. That's where I focused my prayer. The turtle was
> the trigger that found the emotion in my mind that needed the
> healing.
>
> Step Two. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you what Jesus wants
> you to see. This will generally be memories which will come to
> mind. Allow yourself to look inside each memory and search for
> anything which feels wrong.
>
> Note. In my testimony of being triggered by the situation with
> the turtle, I found one or two memories that seemed likely to be
> the problem but I could feel no emotions of fear or helplessness
> or the feeling of being trapped in either of those memories.
>
> Step Three. Once you have located a memory which seems to
> have that same emotion, ask the Holy Spirit to show you the lie
> while focusing on the pain of that memory.
>
> Note. In my case, using my birthing memory as an example, the lie
> was, "I am trapped. I'm not going to make it. I am going to
> die." These have to be lies because I did make it, I am alive,
> and I was not trapped. Thus, what I heard in my mind, or
> thoughts, could not have been from God because God never speaks
> that way.
>
> Step Four. Once a lie, or lies, has been identified, ask the
> Holy Spirit, in the name of the true Lord Jesus Christ, to show
> you His truth. You will either feel it or sense it in your mind
> as thoughts coming to you. You may even, as I do, describe what
> you feel, or sense, as a spiritual awareness.
>
> Note. Again, using my birthing memory as an example, the truth
> was, Jesus said, "You can make it. I was right there all the
> time." Then eventually, he rejoiced and said, "See? I said you
> could make it."
>
> This whole prayer process is much easier to live than it
> sounds like but it only happens after a measure of experience or
> repeated areas of mind renewal have been experienced. As I said,
> most people need help the first few times because of all the
> blockages, pit falls, chuck holes, and dead ends you will
> encounter. It isn't the old axiom, practice makes perfect, but
> the revelation of truth that comes from the voice of the Lord.
> The automated aspect of this form of prayer is due to the fact you
> have learned to hear the voice of the Lord Jesus, that is, the
> Holy Spirit, Who dwells within your spirit, and a strangers voice,
> that of the Enemy, you reject. Also, praying with someone else
> creates the atmosphere of agreement which Jesus referred to in
> Matthew 18:19 and when that is present, the power of intercessory
> prayer is spiritually multiplied beyond earthly bounds. It is
> easy to become frustrated when trying this at first, so having a
> prayer partner who is familiar with it all is strongly
> recommended.
>
> Is there any danger in doing this type of prayer? Of course
> not. There is, however, a great deal of frustration when trying
> to do it by yourself until you have experienced enough healing
> that you are living this form of prayer rather than practicing it.
> I believe that is the true meaning of "Pray without ceasing." At
> the same time, remember that the Enemy does not want you to
> discover his lies or the truth because he knows Jesus said that
> "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free."
> Therefore, he is going to do his best to block and hide and
> conceal the lie that is causing the pain.
>
> Finally, keep in mind, the way the Enemy speaks to us is
> strictly through our emotions, by placing his feelings upon our
> feelings, and placing his thoughts upon our thoughts. He has no
> other way of communicating with us. God speaks the exact same way
> to us as His children. However, the Lord God can also speak to us
> through our spirit and that is where the Holy Spirit dwells.
