Altogether Lovely Ministries - encouraging visitors in their walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.

HEALING

At ALTOGETHER LOVELY MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL we believe Jesus Christ is the Healer of our souls. First in Salvation through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ – this being the born again experience. Then, our day by day walk with Christ as He heals us, sanctifies us, and helps us become more like Christ.

Below our some of the resources we offer. First we have two books that can be purchased through our Bookstore on this website. Then, we offer a Biblical program in our Biblical school. Our prayer is that you will find Jesus Christ to be your Healer!!!

Experiencing God’s Love-1 [EGL-1]:

Book 1 of this two part series on INNER HEALING has the student participating in Christian Worship, Prayer, and Bible Study. Students experience healing in a gentle, non-threatening, and real manner. The student is to seek out a counselor/spiritual mentor to pray with.

Experiencing God’s Love-2 [EGL-2]:

Book 2 of this two part series is taken from Solomon’s Song of Songs and brings INNER HEALING & EVANGELISM together in a real way. As the Lover continues to draw His Beloved closer, the Beloved finds that true healing comes from sharing Christ with others. Christian Worship, Prayer, and Bible Study take place throughout this book.

DISCIPLESHIP – INNER HEALING & EVANGELISM

These 6 courses/disciplines solidify the needed foundations for Inner Healing.

Experiencing God’s Love-1 [EGL-1]: God’s child will be required to participate in this prepared course either online or in class. You will participate as a “trainee” and be required to form a small group of three individuals minimum to multiply yourself. This is a course on healing and growing in Christ.

Writing Prayer Journals-1 [WPJ-1]: The healing child of God is to write a personal prayer journal. In this journal you will share your love for God, your struggles, joys, vision, etc. This is very similar to prayer but journalizing helps put the words down on paper and allows for deeper healing in many cases. 16 to 24 weeks required.

Healing Prayer-1 [HP-1]: The healing child of God is to go to a trusted & discerning person (man to man – woman to woman) and have them pray for them. This course goes along nicely with the inner healing book. Be open to your partner praying with you in areas of repentance, inner healing, and forgiveness. Humility is a must here. 16 to 24 weeks required.

Christian Writing & Art-1 [CWA-1]: Using their God-given creativity and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the believer will be asked to write Christian stories &/or draw Christian art. These can be directed to adults, teenagers, children, etc. These stories and/or art must encourage, buildup, and challenge the Body of Christ. Scriptures can be used for the stories and/or the art. 16 to 24 weeks required.

Outreach Drama & Worship Guitar-1 [ODWG-1]: You will be asked to study the endless possibilities of sharing the Gospel worldwide through drama and/or worship guitar.

GUIDELINES FOR HEALING

It must be noted that there is no easy path or easy way in healing. Jesus’ healing for us was painful. We are His disciples and are to live as He did. Sometimes God does a “big, miraculous healing”. Sometimes God takes us through a long process. The most important thing to understand about healing is that God wants a relationship with us. He knows that if we were instantly healed, many of us would start to think we don’t need Him anymore. The greater our need for God, the better off we are. Yes, it is painful!! Oh, so painful!! But, it is the means that keeps us constantly drawing close to our Lord. If you ever feel that God is just a far off God who doesn’t care about your pain; just look at the cross. God has gone through every degree of pain, rejection, physical suffering, heart ache, abuse, and shame that any of us have. And to a greater degree. He understands and is with us in our healing. The following are some GUIDELINES for healing:

· Embrace the “FIREBALL” in your heart. Draw deep down as much as you can and allow Jesus in.

· God doesn’t heal at the surface. He is the “Great Physician”. He goes down to the “core” of the problem which is usually confession of sin or unforgiveness.

· Find people to share with who are mature, trustworthy, and caring. Be wise in your relationships. Unfortunately, wounded, dysfunctional people usually attract wounded, dysfunctional people. Step out and seek “healthy relationships” that nourish, encourage, and build you up.

· Start a daily “PRAYER JOURNAL”. Take time each day to allow God to heal you as you write your prayers down on paper. (See Chapter 1 – Activity #7 of Experiencing God’s Love-1 [EGL-1])

· When you are in a lot of pain, take time to draw close to God even though it is painful. Breath slowly & deeply and focus on God in your heart. Prayer Journaling is also good to do at this point.

· Do nourishing things. Don’t just stay in a mode of healing and pain. Go for walks, read a good book, go swimming, ride your bicycle, etc. God wants to give you time to rest for the next healing.

· Minister to others. If you are feeling sorry for yourself, find someone who is “worse off” than you.

· Mediate on healing Scriptures. Learn more about God’s compassion, love, and healing power.

· Be wise in sharing your testimony of healing. Many times Christians ask “new converts” to share their testimony. The problem is that sometimes they share too much and end up feeling spiritually abused. Be wise and get guidance from mature Christians who have gone through healing.

· Our time here is preparation for eternity. We are being healed and transformed into the likeness of Christ for eternity. This time here is but “a breath”. Learn to understand this and renew your mind.

· God wants to restore the losses in our lives. But first He needs to prepare us to receive all His glorious riches. Having us mature as a Christian is God’s first goal.

· It is okay to get angry. David throughout the Psalms got angry. But he “wrote” his thoughts down no paper and never hurt someone else or himself. Write your anger on paper. Read it. Then throw the paper away. (Then read the Psalms “outloud”).

· Allow yourself to GRIEVE your losses. You may start to cry for no reason. You may even feel depressed. It is alright. You are being healed. Your pain with in you from your past is coming out.

· Be wise with prescription medicines. Read about the medication on the internet. Find out what they are treating, what the side effects will be, how long they plan on having you on the medication, whether or not it is addictive, how it will affect your healing process, etc. Get a few different doctors opinions. Find the balance between anti-medication people and people who give medications for everything. Remember, medications “mask” the problem – they don’t get to the root. But, sometimes they help stabilize a person until they can get their life balanced. BE WISE. A spiritual Christian doctor, who can explain the pros and cons of medications, would be wise to talk to.

· Read Scripture that affirms who you are “in Christ”. You are God’s child and a blessing.

· God loves you. Meditate on this truth. Believe this truth. Listen to His voice about this truth.

DISCLAIMER

This material is not to replace counseling when needed. In fact, we encourage individuals to find trusting Christian counseling and discipleship. This material is a “tool” to offer support. Individuals are responsible for their own healing and no one else. It is between you and God. Nobody knows you better than God. In no way does this material claim to replace professional counselors when needed. A professional Christian counselor is something that should be considered between God & the individual. Again, this book offers “laymen” resources for those wanting growth in Christ.
