Be in Health-Separation

Separation

One of the teachings of Be in Health is titled Separation. Those who practice the concept of separation are able to separate the words and actions people do from who they are as people. Learning how to not let what people (and evil spirits) say and do affect them. It is an excellent teaching to help individuals to learn to become more healthy in all areas of their life. (The concept of Separation is not letting people ‘off the hook’, letting people do what they want, or any form of co-dependency. I will be sharing more on that in another article.)

WHO?

The main purpose of the concept of Separation is to help individuals to discern WHO is talking and to identify what they are hearing. Is it the iniquities of their bloodline that is speaking? Is it evil spirits speaking? Is it wounds, piercings, scars, brokenness speaking or what we are hearing? The question we need to ask ourselves is WHO we are listening to and allowing to control our life. What we are hearing may not be true or may be out of balance.

Benefit of Separation

A person who practices Separation will be less likely to be controlled by unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, rejection, self-pity, self hatred. They are more likely to be walking in wholeness and health. They will be less susceptible to sickness and any form of dis-ease. The fruit will be a more sanctified life.

How I Have Benefited

Without knowing the teaching, I have practiced something similar to Separation my entire Christian walk. I believe it is one of many reasons why I find it easy to forgive others. I am able to separate what they do from who they are as people, as God’s creation. I make the assumption that if they are doing something that hurts me it is because they are responding out of piercings, wounding, hurt. That they have scars, scared people act like scared people. It in no way justifies what they are doing but it explains it. Many times I can have compassion for them instead of letting what they do wound me. I let it bounce off of me. I call it having thick skin and a soft heart.

Through Separation I do not have to lash back, pay back, hold grudges, etc. People who know me are shocked that I can find peace when people do bad things against me. Do I fall short? Absolutely! Especially with me wife, but my wife will also vouch I am one of the most forgiving people she has ever known. Again, the concept of Separation is not the only reason, one of the main reasons I am overall a person who easily forgives, does no hold grudges, does not have bitterness or resentment. BUT in the past I had a much harder time forgiving myself. Through the teachings at Be in Health, I have had several ‘aha’ moments where I realized why I was terrible at practicing separation in my personal life. I did not do good at all at asking the question ‘WHO’ is speaking to me. (I will be posting blog articles regarding self-pity, rejection, etc that Be in Health addresses in their teachings.)

Concern

I do have concern that the concept of Separation can be out of balance, and even dangerous if not understood properly. I do believe that Be in Health swings the pendulum too far in regard to this concept, but after talking to some staff, I think I understand why that is, or why it may seem that way. In my next article I will share about my concerns.
