Inspired by biblical healing journey of emotional healing and the idea of our minds as a fortress and how to get out.
Section 1 Fortress
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psalms 23:4 (Bible)
Music: Andy C and Ant Miles (1993) Origin Unknown - Valley of the Shadows - Ram Records
Section 2 Don’t Touch Me
In your healing journey there's always a reaction to 'what ever happened' this represents that section and also how help comes from the most unlikely of places. Each character came from somewhere and is going somewhere, and each of them something happened.
"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with skin diseases, and throw out demons. You received without having to pay. Therefore, give without demanding payment." Matthew 10:8
Music: A Star (2020) Don’t Touch Me. Produced by Dj EddyBeatz, Bobbi Zion & E.Double.B
Section 3 Take Your Time
Take Your Time is where we really explore the healing at Beth hesda (Bethesda) it opens with the lame man waiting at the pool and explores how it feels to find contentment even when things are not perfect. The walls built during Fortress have come down because the protection is stronger from the Holy Spirit than anything man can come u with to help himself.
It's the story if hope..
The Healing at the Pool John 5:1-6
1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie-the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
Music : Tee Tings (2022) Take Your Time. Noxy Beats Records
Section 4 Change Your Life
Welcome to the finale of the live section of Remember Beth hesda, all about the joy of receiving healing if you only choose to 'Change your life'. inspiration taken from the personal joy I have found in learning house dance. Coupled with the idea of shameless selling as in 1920's poster adverts and the childish joy of singing along with your friends pretending to be in some kind of girl band, trying on ‘mummys’ clothes and having fun. It's party time!
22 that, regarding your previous way of life, you put off your old self [completely discard your former nature], which is being corrupted through deceitful desires, 23 and be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude], 24 and put on the new self [the regenerated and renewed nature], created in God’s image, [godlike] in the righteousness and holiness of the truth [living in a way that expresses to God your gratitude for your salvation] Ephesians 4:22-24
Music: Jahni (2022) Change Your Life - Joyful Summer.
