New Life, Old Calling

So, at age 68, I am jumping into a new career ...  What in the world made me do such a thing?  Most people are retiring at this age.  Me?  ha!  I am just beginning .... sort of!

It all began in 1977.  We were on our knees by our bed praying for God to use us.   We wanted to be a part of the move of God.  We wanted to share what we were learning with the world.

I was pregnant with our second child.  We had moved to pastor a rural charge in South Georgia.  We had just learned about divine healing.  We were learning about the Gifts of the Spirit and one is the Gifts of Healing.   My heart was full of desire and raced at the thought of bringing healing to a lost and dying world.

In the middle of our prayers we felt the Presence of the Holy Spirit.  He touched me.  I felt a warmth in the palms of my hands.  He told me that He had imparted to me the gift of healing.  I wept!

We experienced miracles.  We had children.  We moved.  We experienced life ....  trials, tribulations, victories, overcoming, blessings ....

Many years later a friend shared some things with me.  I began to learn about healthy eating, supplements, herbs, and natural health.  I was intrigued.  I was fascinated.  I was drawn to all that knowledge.   I wanted to know more.   I dabbled in it.  But, my resources were slim and it was not easy getting others on board with the new healthy guidelines, so I reverted back to the old ways.  I did maintain 2 things, kombucha tea and natural progesterone cream.

Again, years passed.  I became a distributor for a health conscious weight loss company.  The more I got into the program and the more I learned, the deeper my hunger grew for health, wholeness, wellness.  I began to search for schools of natural health.

We moved to a new church.  While we were there, I learned of a lady who did a scan with her computer that measures the energy of the body and determines stress and recommends natural means to support and balance the body.   I visited her and while I was there I knew that I knew that I knew that I wanted to do this.  It was my heart's desire. A passion was reborn.

She recommended Trinity School of Natural Health for me to get my doctorate of Naturopathy.  So, I prayed and prayed and prayed....  God opened that door and I began the process.

I have always prayed for healing and seen God do wonders in the lives of people.  But, I felt this was also important because while it is nice to receive a miracle, it is better to not need one!  I knew that these two avenues went hand in hand!

I worked hard and received my ND early in 2011.  I can say that no one really believed in it.  No one cared that I achieved it.   No one celebrated it.    .... but me.      I can also say that not much changed about the way we ate or lived because, it was radical, different, odd, alternative ...  definitely not the main stream.

I did what I could to teach, lead, and show the benefits of natural health, God's plan for health, and of course, praying for healing for others.

In the back of my mind, I always had the dream of owning the Zyto program to scan and give people concrete evidence of their body and things to help balance it and keep it healthy.  I talked about it to anyone who would listen and showed the least bit of interest.  I asked people to pray with me about it.

I found out last December that Zyto was having a sale.  I prayed.  I asked.  I prayed.   Once again, God opened the door for me to step into this path of health, healing, and wholeness.  For Christmas I received the program!!!!!

I was overwhelmed!   I was lost!  I was so ignorant of business and all that it involved.  I had so much to learn about the program and how to interpret the scans.    My expectations of jumping into it were quickly dashed as I realized I had to ease into it one little toe at a time!  I had no idea the learning curve.  It had been almost 8 years since I received my degree and I had not used it.  So it was stagnant and stale.

I did not even have a name!  One night I was tossing and turning, trying to figure out business details.  I prayed, "Lord, WHAT can I name this?"

I rolled over and it was 3:33am
He said, "That's the name"

Merrie Posey, ND 333
Father, Son, Holy Spirit
Health, Healing, Wholeness
Spirit, Soul, and Body

Jeremiah 33:3  Call unto Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.

He told me to claim that.  He told me to pray over my system.  He told me to pray over everyone I scanned.  He told me that He would use me to bring healing to their spirit, soul, and body.

He told me that His calling is without repentance.  He has plans for me.  He has not forgotten that He called me to bring healing to His people.  He said, I have come full circle.

He has also told me not to despise small beginnings.  He will open doors.  He will bring health, healing, and wholeness through me.

The road has not been smooth.  The way has not been easy.  The information has been overwhelming.  The response has not always been positive.  The understanding has not always been there.  The acceptance has been questionable.   The income has been sparse.  The expense has been huge.  BUT!!!!!  The blessings have been awesome!

I covet your prayers.  I will be 69 in October.  I know that I have been called and ordained to do this.  I pray that I will have the energy and attentiveness to learn and understand and then apply this knowledge to be able to help people receive and keep their healing! 

I rest in and rely on God's faithfulness to me.  I trust His goodness, mercy, and provision in all matters concerning this.

Thank you!!!!
