This type of ministry approach is to help you discover what is really going on inside your heart. The kinds of questions asked should be probing into your emotional world, helping you access memories where the damage was done, and uncover the lies behind those emotions. Getting real with your heart – where your beliefs are held – is the first key to getting healed. That’s the source of your pain! Your logical beliefs will agree with great advise, insight, and scriptures. But it’s your logical mind that all too often writes off what your heart really believes and keeps your heart in denial. The best questions to ask will be to get you in touch with your emotions, getting honest about what your heart really believes, and then dealing with the guardian lies and hangups that stand in the way of you receiving truth from the Holy Spirit. You want to access the emotion so you can discover the core lie that needs to be uprooted.
Another effective method in breaking through the numbness and getting to your emotions is to visualize the oldest memory connected to that emotion, or at least the strongest memories where that emotion stands out. Visualizing in that place is a great way to tap the emotions connected with that memory. What you are trying to do is get in touch with the emotion that is holding the lie that you believe. The numbness will prevent you from feeling the emotion that holds the lie, which is the reason you are still feeling that pain today. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
The very truth that would change your life, may never change your life if it never reaches their heart. The Holy Spirit will give you the answer if you ask. He speaks to your heart. Getting the truth into your heart is the whole goal of this ministry.
The Holy Spirit is your own personal counselor from heaven, and wants to speak directly to you and lead you into all truth. Introduce them to their own personal counselor from heaven, and get them to receive counsel directly from Him.
Many of us know that God can heal us, but our hangup lies in our feeling worthy to receive our healing. We may believe something in our heart such as, “I am not worthy to receive healing. I’ve not been a good enough Christian.” Since our healing depends on what Jesus did for us and our receiving it by faith, it really doesn’t have anything to do with being good enough to receive (that works mentality actually dishonors what Jesus did for us!). So dealing with the lies which hinder a person’s healing is crucial to their receiving this great blessing that God has for every one of His children. Whether it’s a simple cold or flu, or a bone that needs to grow together, the price has already been paid. The question is, why aren’t we believing that the provision for physical healing applies to us?
The same goes for other blessings of the New Covenant, such as financial provisions, receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and unlocking our spiritual gifts. Many times we don’t believe that we’re worthy to receive spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit. “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12)
Why aren’t most Christians walking in these things? If the father of lies cannot stop us from knowing what God can do, he’ll attempt to block us from personally walking in God’s plan because somehow it doesn’t apply to us, or we aren’t worthy to partake in it.
Does reading your Bible make you worthy to walk in the things of God? No, it educates you on the things of God and tells you what belongs to you, tells you what things to avoid in life that will rob from you, and so forth, but your righteousness is not in your Bible reading, it’s in the finished work of Christ, and whether or not you receive it by faith. Jesus praised the faith of children, because they simply believe they don’t logically reason away something, they just accept it with pure innocent faith. That is how we must be if we are to walk in the supernatural like God intended for us.
What has your heart been believing that has been hindering your ability to walk in the supernatural as God has called you to walk in as His child? This is a great way to uncover lies that our heart believes about ourselves that is keeping us from living out our full potential that God has called us to.
