There are three basic ways to tell if something is “off” in your life:

• You have fresh feelings of fear, anger, or guilt whenever you think about people or events that occurred in the past.
• You overreact to the same specific things.
• You keep encountering similar negative situations or events in your life.

If you have unresolved trauma, difficult relationships, negative or imposing thoughts, harmful habits, or a feeling of distance from God, the process of inner healing can help you address it at the root.

First, you recognize that something negative is consistently happening in your life. 

For example, you might ask: “Why do I yell at my husband every week?” or “How come I fight with every boss I’ve ever had?”

At this point, you ask God to show you what is going on, and perhaps where it started.

Then you ask Jesus, “What do you want to say about this? What do you want to show? What do you want to do?” 

Be honest with yourself. Often we don’t want to get down to how we really feel because of how we “should” feel about events or people like our parents. Inner healing works when you’re real about the ugly truth of how something felt to you.

When you give him time, Jesus usually indicates a point of solution. Sometimes it ends with this incredible revelation and healing of the heart. It’s often great to leave the person to soak in the moment, in the love of God and the presence of the Spirit.

Keep in mind, the healing process isn’t a formula. You’re following God’s lead, and His process for you isn’t necessarily going to follow a formula. 

Once you get familiar with this process, you can do it on your own. 

Yet some things are too big for you to get a grip on by yourself.  When you’re with a trusted person, they can pray to God to reveal things for you. God often responds more powerfully when we are together and are more vulnerable.

If you would like someone to guide you through this process, we can meet with you online or in person.

No. Healing prayer is not a substitute for psychiatric or medical care.

Inner healing prayer is a spiritual intervention. In counseling you talk ABOUT God, whereas in inner healing, you talk directly TO God. The Holy Spirit leads and brings the revelation. In a session, the prayer team is not there to counsel you, but to guide you to meet with Jesus in your areas of struggle.

Inner healing prayer and professional counseling complement each other. In fact, more healthcare professionals are starting to include a client’s spiritual and religious beliefs and practices within the therapeutic structure. I work with many of the people who see both me and a therapist.

In healing prayer, you work directly with God, even if you’re being guided by a healing prayer person.

In spiritual direction, you’re working with a director who is being guided by the Holy Spirit. 

I recommend spiritual direction if you’re looking to understand God’s will better in your daily life. A spiritual director doesn’t solve problems; rather, he or she can discuss your prayer life with you so you can grow in cooperating with the Lord in your life.

Yes. Deliverance is a natural byproduct of this healing process. When you deal with a root issue, you close the enemy's access point to you!

If you have a history of any of the following, then your local mental health services will be your best option.

• Hallucinations
• Psychosis
• Severe mental illness (e.g. Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder)
• Serious addiction to drugs or alcohol
• Persistent and serious thoughts about harming yourself or others

In other instances, a counselor will identify the level of services you need. They will provide a candid, thorough assessment in your initial consultation.
