As users of modern technology, we have all become accustomed to the idea that the first version of a new product, such as an app, or an operating system is always subject to being upgraded. We are never surprised when the developer releases the 2.0 version of whatever app we have purchased. In fact, we often look forward to that version to bring us new benefits and uses for our apps and it has become routine for us to simply accept the upgrade.

Inner healing is very much like that. It is rarely one-and-done. Some have likened inner healing to peeling an onion—you take off one layer at a time. I like to call inner healing pulling up tent pegs—we have been bowed down and trapped under an artificial ceiling that is very much like a circus tent that is too low and we pull up one tent peg after another until the top can be completely stripped off of us and we can stand free and tall.

But recently I felt like God was showing me that healing can be in levels of upgrades. We can go from version 1.0 to 2.0—with the help of the Holy Spirit.  That looks more like the energy wave that occurs as a result of an electromagnet pulse that spreads over a whole city in minutes.

As a prayer counselor, I am interested in helping others get to that next level and experience that upgrade of healing. I asked the Lord how I could actively participate in that and the response was, “Speak to the mountain and it shall be moved.”

In his article, “Speak to the Mountain,” Mark Batterson, lead pastor of National Community Church, says:

“There comes a moment when you must quit talking to God about the mountain in your life and start talking to the mountain about your God. You proclaim His power. You declare His sovereignty. You affirm His faithfulness. You stand on His Word. You cling to His promises.”[1]

This is what the Lord spoke to my heart as I journaled:

• My people are not healed all at once. They were not wounded all at once and neither are they healed that way. However, the force of my love and my healing is so strong that I do more in one energy surge of my love than multiple wounds that were inflicted. Speak to the mountain means to declare my healing power is stronger and better than the enemy’s wounding power. Declare my intentions and my might, the might of my Holy Spirit. It is not discouraging to know that healing comes in waves. What is encouraging is to know that just one of my waves does more good than all of the damage that was done. I do indeed redeem the time and I am anxious for my children to get healed, know who they are and find my calling for their life.
• Speak the words of truth, declare my words, come into agreement with me and see the results. Declare my words over my children. Speak to the mountain and it shall be moved. My EMP can level mountains in one fell swoop. Mountains that took thousands of years to form, down in an instant. Ancestral strongholds gone, just like that.
• I thought of Psalm 107:20 that says He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

Then I looked for more information about an EMP in Wikipedia:

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also sometimes called a transient electromagnetic disturbance, is a short burst of electromagnetic energy. Such a pulse's origination may be a natural occurrence or man-made and can occur as a radiated, electric, or magnetic field or a conducted electric current, depending on the source.

EMP interference is generally disruptive or damaging to electronic equipment, and at higher energy levels a powerful EMP event such as a lightning strike can damage physical objects such as buildings and aircraft structures. The management of EMP effects is an important branch of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineering.

Weapons have been developed to deliver the damaging effects of high-energy EMP.

The Lord continued to instruct me about His power:

• My EMP destroys structures that have been built to keep my people in bondage. That is how I upgrade their healing. As a new operating system wipes out an old one and replaces it, so my healing wave brings new capabilities to my people. These upgrades will continue until you meet me in heaven so do not resist them, rather embrace them.

Healing is intended to continue throughout our lifetime. It is never too late for us to heal! Even brain science bears that out, as Jim Wilder writes in his book, Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You, about the brain’s capacity to grow in joy no matter what our age.

While most of the brain stops growing at certain stages of development, the brain’s “joy center”, located in the right orbital prefrontal cortex, is the only section of the brain that never loses its capacity to grow! It is the one section of the brain that retains the ability to grow for our entire lives, which means that “joy strength” can always continue to develop! What makes it grow, you may ask? It grows in response to real, joy-filled relationships. We are not talking about casual, superficial relationships here. But when people are engaged in authentic, bonded relationships showing real joy (“I’m delighted to be with you!”), this section of the brain will grow at any age! And while this brain growth is slower than during the optimum developmental periods, the bottom line is this – new foundations can be laid, damaged ones can be repaired, and stalled maturity does not have to remain impaired.[2]

The Lord is committed to His relationship with us and wants us to know He is delighted to be with us. He also wants us to know that His power is unlimited and that He can accomplish more in a short time to bring about healing than we can ever think or imagine.

When I get the next “notification” from my heavenly Father that an “upgrade is available” for my “operating system” I will not hesitate to “install” it. I pray you will let His wave of power take you to the next level too.
