Ghosts from the Past

Rev. Sharyn Zenz

In the stillness and the quiet is every prayer answered. It seems that when I have a problem or concern, the one and only way to handle it is to bring it to Holy Spirit for a miracle. My perception is automatically changed and I can go about my Father’s business.

The other day I had a situation with my daughter that I thought I knew what was best for her and her child. I thought if she did this or did things another way it would be better for her and her son. After realizing that I needed help with this stress I was feeling, I closed my eyes and asked Holy Spirit for His perception and asked to see it with His eyes instead of how I was seeing it.

I knew without going to Spirit I would be caught up in the yucky feeling all day and maybe tomorrow too! So I closed my eyes and asked to see it differently and here is what I learned!

I saw myself in a haunted house (I guess Halloween has gotten to me!) and there were eyes in the darkness looking at me. When I asked about them Holy Spirit was right there with me and said, “Sharyn, those are ghosts from your past.Sometimes they still get to you without you even being aware of it and you get caught up with those thoughts of the past.” Then I saw three signs hanging crooked in this haunted house that all said the same thing: judgment, judgment, judgement.

Then Holy Spirit said, “When you get caught up with thoughts from the past and think you know what is best for others, or yourself for that matter, you are judging. You need to leave those ghosts from the past and walk with Me. Remember when you think you know what is best for someone you are judging that the way they are doing it is wrong! You think your way is better.”

Well, let me tell you, this really made me think. Every time I talk over a perceived problem or situation with a friend or family member, and I listen to them, all I am doing is buying into their judgments about it! By me buying into what others thought about the situation, I was putting my trust in others instead of Holy Spirit!

What an eye opener that was for me. Now, instead of going to others and discussing any situations or problems, which only makes matters worse, I’d rather spend the time with the only One who knows the answer and listen to what He has to tell me.

I walked up some stairs in the haunted house with Holy Spirit and looked behind me at all the ghosts from the past just melting away. And when I reached the top step Holy Spirit raised His arms and the roof blew off the haunted house and the Light entered and filled the home. It was just beautiful.

Holy Spirit and I sat down. He told me to go have fun with my grandchildren and make friendly ghost signs. I can cut them out and hang them all over my office. He told me the messages to write on each ghost such as “You are beautiful and One with Me,” “You are Love,” “My mind sees only thoughts of Love,” “There is no past, only the gift of the present,” etc. We had so much fun making them. Now when I see them I know that my ghosts from the past are gone and only Holy Spirit’s ‘ghosts’ with messages of Love are real.

Holy Spirit also reminded me that when I go to another to talk something over, I am making the problem real, and nothing is Real except Love.
