Inner Healing

Inner Healing is prayer and counsel for sanctification and transformation of one's life. It is a tool to mature His people. It is a process to help one to apply the crucified and resurrected life of Jesus Christ and His blood to the part of the heart that did not receive full healing. It is a tool to help one to live a life more effective and victorious in Christ. It is a tool to achieve freedom from bondage. It is a tool of prayer and counselling to make salvation effective in all dimensions of one's life and character. It is a tool to enable one to clean out the "inner chambers" where hurts, doubts, rejection and fears have been buried or stored because of being unable or unwilling to deal with them when they occurred.

 Inner Healing Prayer

(Recommended Posture. Transfix your hands above your chest and hold them in the form of a cross about half a foot away from your chest.) 

 Moses put a piece of wood in bitter water; it was changed into sweet water. Similarly, the power of the Cross can change all our bitter memories and experiences into sweet ones. Imagine that white rays are radiating from the cross to your hearts, where all bitterness is stored up. These powerful rays bring the inner healing that you need.

Prayer: Jesus, you are the same yesterday, today and forever. Come into my yesterdays; into my wounded feelings and negative events to transform them for my favour and good. Jesus I pray over all these negative events that happened in my life and feelings such as rejection, unforgiveness, sorrows, fear, loneliness and failure etc. I pray over them all. Jesus! come into my bitter experiences and change them into sweet memories. I pray and forgive all who have offended me unjustly and bless them more than you bless me.
