“As soon as I heard of this “new thing” called healing ministry and that my friend was one of the prayer ministers, I couldn’t wait to get started.  I’d been involved in counseling various times throughout my life so this seemed to be just a different style….boy was I wrong.  My sessions with my prayer ministers were incredibly life changing.  Even filling out the intake form was interestingly hard.  Having to write and acknowledge things from my past that I thought I had buried began a work in me that only the Holy Spirit could finish. My prayer ministers lovingly walked me through scenarios and memories until the Holy Spirit made clear which stronghold HE wanted to deal with.  Initially I didn’t want to, not because I was afraid, but because I thought I had dealt with it years ago. My prayer ministers prayed with me, cried with me, walked through the memory with me and helped me to realize where Jesus was IN that memory and pain.  What I experienced in that week was truly ONLY GOD that could have healed me.  It was beyond magnificent.  These were NO TYPICAL counseling sessions, they were truly HOLY moments where God was invited, consulted, sought after, brought into and PRESENT!!  Never before have I had such FREEDOM from pain, LIBERTY from guilt and RELEASE from old wounds. With the help of my prayer ministers I finally let go and let God, and my healing began. My work with them has helped me to see God as my healer and to trust Him more with those shadowed areas in my life. It was so life changing that I’m looking forward to working with them again… you can never have too much freedom and I have more areas that need freed for sure!”
