How do I surrender?

Well, you can set the desire of your heart and say, God, I just want to surrender. Show me how. Show me what it is I need to surrender from. It is relational, ask him. Engage him in that way. He may need to unveil things that you cannot see, and that is fine.

As a living sacrifice, I gave him permission to do whatever he needed in me, in my mind, in my inward parts, in my heart, in my everyday life. He had permission, and he used that permission to do what he needed to do in me and what I needed. It will be different for everybody.

So I think we can relax and trust him and know his unconditional love, that frees us from the need to perform, to meet a standard, to know his will and therefore try and fulfil it. It is so much more relational and relaxed than that. He is not judging you or measuring you to a particular standard of his will.

My religious upbringing told me that the will of God is one hundred percent, that we may attain to it to some degree but will always fail, and that he will judge us on it and we will one day have to face that judgment in a negative way. That is not what it is like at all. There is no measurement. There is just relationship. And he wants us to fully embrace who we are in our relationship with him and enjoy it. Joy and peace and love are really what it is all about. And that to me is rest. I am at rest. I am not striving. I am not trying to find what God’s will is because I feel I need to do it to please him or to be obedient to him.

Who we really are

All those mindsets are the things he had to deal with in me, because I wanted to obey him, because I thought that was what would please him, and therefore I would maintain the standard that was acceptable to him – while never feeling that I could ever make it, because it was impossible to be like God. Whereas we are already created in the image and likeness of God. We are already like him. He just wants us to relax and be an expression of him through who we are as individuals, who he has made us to be.

So we cannot fail.

He has not set us up to fail. He has set it up so we cannot fail. How can you fail to be you? The only way is if you do not know who you are. And that is what he wants to reveal to us: who we really are. If we do not know who we are, we are still living in lost identity. Jesus has already covered all of that. So it is a win all the way along with God.

379. Created in His Image | The Purpose of Our Existence

There is no losing with God. And we tend to think that there is, and that is what causes us to stress: I need to know his will, I need to try and do it, I am not good enough, I keep failing. And he is just saying, come and walk with me, come and enjoy fellowship with me today, let us enjoy today together. And if you are walking with me, there will be opportunities to express and outwork my heart as we together are looking to engage in a relational way with each other and with creation, and to help people also know the wonderful love of God, because he is so wonderful.

Find the joy

I understand that it is a process, and that our soul does need to find healing and wholeness through that relationship with him. But we do trust him, and we do not need to try and defend ourselves, protect ourselves, or cope with life on our own. We can truly find the joy that he wants us to experience and live in that joyful life.

It is so hard to be joyful when you have got to fulfil a whole lot of duties and obligations. Most of the time he is not really that concerned about where we are working or what we are doing. It is more a question of whether we can be ourselves in that dynamic. People have got this idea that they need to be in the right city doing the right thing, need to have the right job, need to do this and that, as if he cannot work within our choices. Most of the time he is not really that concerned about that level of detail. Some people are so bound up with detail that they are asking him what colour socks they should wear every day, as if he is bothered. He is not interested in that. He just wants whatever socks we are wearing to be comfortable, because he wants us to feel at rest. That is how it is with him.

473. Why Do We Assume? | Questioning Our Beliefs and Practices

Religion has a very different way of painting that picture, causing us to stress over getting it right, feeling like a failure all the time, and therefore having to perform some form of penance or religious duty to make amends. There is no penance with God.

Consciousness, Intention and Alignment

The way our consciousness is designed to choose a reality that is aligned to God’s heart, our intention and focus can work with things like [essential] oils and other frequencies to bring about change and to affect that change.

I think people are looking at different ways of engaging that in the  quantum realm, the ether, that there is energy there that we can draw from that can bring energy to our bodies, that can repair them and recycle them in the cells. But also the cells themselves have capacity to repair built in, and it is just that communication needs to be restored so that everything works together in harmony as it was intended. So definitely, I think you will find all sorts of different people working in different aspects of the field.

Epigenetics is one aspect, which is a programming to the genetic material, not changing the genetic material, but causing memory and things to be passed on generationally or affecting the present. And when you are looking at how we can live in health, then seeing the balance between spirit, soul and body, and the harmony that we can live in, in rest effectively, can bring about health.

But our intention and focus is what is the most important thing. Yes, there are some frequencies in some oils that have an effect, because they cross the limbic system of the brain and they can affect the way we think, but when our intention, which people would call faith, is engaged with them, then that brings about a powerful agreement. And when we are in agreement with how something works, that agreement can be effectively outworked in a much more powerful way.


Healing, Memory and the Whole Person

I think God is unveiling all sorts of different revelation to different people in different ways to reach as many people as possible, so that as many people as possible can find the health that God intended them to have and find healing and wholeness in every area, spirit, soul and body.

Now what essential oils and other things do with the limbic system can also release memory and toxic emotions that are trapped within the body, both within the physical and within the memory of the soul. Those things can surface, because they are often buried within our subconscious, and we do not always remember the actual event or what happened, but they can be toxic to us. When those are released and brought to the surface, which can be enhanced by essential oils, then we can see healing and wholeness come into those areas.


This was recorded in 2018 at the Freedom Centre, Barnstaple. Kari Browning’s technique involves prayer, the laying on of hands, and the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils.

So it is getting the balance of all of it. A lot of people focus on the soul, inner healing, which is good, but they do not always think about how that links to the body. There is a huge connection. Medical professionals are looking at disease and realising that so much of it is caused by emotional and mental issues, not just the physical. Some of it is purely physical, but a lot of it has a component which is mental and emotional. Therefore toxic emotions and trauma can have an effect on the physical body, even though they are memories of something that happened emotionally. Seeing things in a holistic way, and looking at how we can operate holistically, is really important.
What you will often find is that some people focus on one area, whether that is the body or the emotions, but we need to bring all of them together in a harmonious whole to see how it all works together for our health and wholeness. That is why it is worth looking at different ways of thinking, not just one area. Generally, one person gets revelation about one area and focuses on that, but does not always see that other areas are involved as well. So having a broader view of the whole way of thinking will give you some good perspective, and it looks like you have done some good research and are engaging with different ways of thinking. But in all of it, intention is the most important aspect.

477. Transform Your Reality | Harnessing the Power of Intention

Agreement, Frequency and Intention

There is a sense where some things have a physical effect on the body, and some essential oils carry a frequency that, when absorbed or breathed, can have a positive impact because they bring a frequency that counteracts negative frequencies that might be operating. But when we add our intention to it, then you have agreement. And when there is agreement, that brings an exponential increase in the effect of something. You can focus that agreement, that intention, and that works whether you use the oil or not.

I have used frequencies in bowls, crystal bowls, to focus intention to touch the body, not in a physical sense, but through sound. You have a sound bath, and when you are surrounded by sound, if that sound contains intention, then it can have an effect on your body without even touching you physically. If you do put the bowls on your body… I had a sound bath where a friend used smaller Tibetan singing bowls, and placed them on my back. As soon as one of them was struck, I went straight into a deep state. I was not even thinking about it, it just happened.

So there is a powerful way of engaging this, but if you are intentionally active in it, you are more open to what it can do. I was open to the sound bath. I did not know what it would do, and I did not feel I needed anything in particular, but I was open. That openness led into an encounter, and the experience was very positive. When you engage it intentionally for healing or wholeness, you are adding your faith to it. Some people in medical trials who receive placebos are engaging in hope, and when desire and hope come together, that itself can have a positive effect on the body.

Alongside that, the attitude of thanksgiving, gratitude, and living in a state of joy and peace can help the immune system function well and keep us in balance. When our emotions are out of sync with our desire, there is discord, and it is important to have coherence. There is a group called HeartMath that works with this concept, showing how having our thinking coherent with our emotions can bring about health and wholeness. It is quite a large field that people are exploring, and there are many positive things to discover.

199. Attitude Determines Altitude

Relationship Over Technique

The key is not to accept everything uncritically, but to go with what is in alignment with what you know to be the heart of God and love, and not to make it a formula. Engage with it relationally with God. If I am going to engage with it, God is my healer. He may use various things to bring about healing, but He is my healer. I am not going to put my trust in a technique that separates me from my relationship with Him as my healer. When people know God as Father, and know His desire to bless and to heal, that is far more powerful than trying to work a technique.

Some people separate the techniques, and while they may work, they are far more effective when you are engaged with the healer, not just the method. I always want to remain connected to God as the source of my healing, not just an oil or a frequency or anything else. I engage with it through God as Father, not in an independent way.
