Amazing God Inspired Healing Book

September 21, 2014

Format: Paperback

Excellent God inspired book! As I read this book, God was touching my heart where I had some very deep pain from my past. I was able to release this painful trauma from my heart and let God heal me. IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! This book is a must read for every Christian believer.

One of my favorite chapters in this book is on rest.

August 7, 2014

Format: Hardcover

While reading this book I could clearly see the stories Kathy wrote about. I was able to put myself in her shoes in so many of the testimonies she shared. Having served in ministry for 20 years myself, one of my favorite chapters in this book is on rest. Many times in ministry we forget to take the time to care for ourselves, to see that in order for us to care well for others we must care for our own temples. It was a great reminder-especially in the area of healing ministry. So many things in here provide insight and help to those seeking healing or longing to be a tool for Him to work through.

Excellent Book

March 24, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

I have been a counselor for 30 years and I found this book easy to read and very informative. I recommend books to people I am ministering to and this book will definitely be one I recommend often. If you have been affected by any kind of abuse that always involves trauma and this book is an excellent one for you to read.

Healing and encouragement for the broken heart

March 22, 2014

Format: Paperback

Years of listening to people’s insides coalesce into an easy-to-read book, that is full of common sense, wisdom, compassion and insight. Each person can find themselves somewhere in its pages, and benefit. Inner pain is not to be endured, but released; and the reader is encouraged to find help to do this, when needed. Encouraging testimonies, including Kathy’s own transparent life, dot the pages. Highly recommend.

Keys to walking in freedom!

March 13, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition 

Very well written! Informative! Has tips and keys for receiving freedom from past trauma. Other people go through "stuff" too is a relief to anyone seeking inner healing. A must read for those wanting healing from past abuse and trauma. The chapter on spiritual warfare, other traps, trusting God and spiritual growth were excellent. The author gives great insight into forgiveness, repentance and everyday life. I highly recommend this book.

Seasons of Healing

Jesus can lead us through seasons of healing from past emotional pain and trauma if we will let Him. Rarely does He release all the past pain and trauma at one time. The emotional healing He provides usually occurs in different seasons of our life.

Seasons of healing can last days, weeks, months, or even years. The important thing is that you enter the season trusting the Lord to lead you through it. You must have the courage to enter or re-enter the healing process whenever He directs you to do so.

   

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

 

Sometimes a season of healing begins spontaneously without us doing anything to initiate it. Emotional pain from the past can be, and often is, triggered and comes up as the result of current painful or traumatic situations. When that happens, we need to trust that the Lord knows the perfect time for healing of an area of emotional pain and trauma and follow His guidance to pursue freedom.

We should pray as Jeremiah prayed in Jeremiah 17:14, "Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise." However, we also need to realize that the healing of emotional pain and trauma can be a painful process, especially if you have experienced serious emotional trauma or a lot of it over a long period of time.

 

We must enter seasons of healing with this realization that we may experience pain during the process. Just as healing from physical surgery, illnesses, or accidents normally involves pain, healing from emotional pain and trauma is a journey that includes good days and difficult ones. Don't expect the healing journey to be a piece of cake.

 

If you fell into a cactus plant, and needles were lodged in your body, there most certainly would be pain involved in their removal. We are blessed as followers of Jesus that He can apply supernatural anesthesia during the healing process and minimize or eliminate the pain  of the process completely as He releases the original emotional pain and trauma.

 

The end result of going through seasons of healing is worth whatever the journey may require. Be diligent and wise in seeking help from a Christian counselor or prayer minister if you need more than prayer from a family member or friend. Always give God praise and thanks for the freedom and healing He provides every step of the way. Thankfulness increases joy and they are both essential in the healing process.

  

 

I will praise You, O Lord,

with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works. Psalm 9:1

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another very important aspect of completing the journey through seasons of healing is waiting with hope. When we see a rose bud that has not yet opened, we wait with hope that it will someday be a beautiful flower. Waiting on the Lord and His perfect timing for the seasons of healing in your life to be accomplished brings freedom in and of itself. It brings freedom from fear and hopelessness.

 

 

I would have lost heart,

unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness

of the Lord
In the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Psalm 27:13-14

 

 

Our prayer for you is that you will face the emotional pain and trauma as the Lord leads you into your seasons of healing and that Jesus will release that pain and trauma so that you can blossom into all He has planned for your life.

 

 

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

HBH Seminars and Workshops

Healing the Brokenhearted (HBH) Ministry seminars and workshops are a wonderful way to get the word out regarding the need for inner healing. We have been doing HBH seminars and workshops since 2009. They have been very powerful, impacting all who have attended in positive ways.

There are several differences between the HBH seminars and workshops that we have done. 

 

Workshops are done in one or two sessions and last between three hours  and all day, each session beginning with a time of worship. Kathy ministers to the group after sharing her testimony and doing a short teaching about inner healing.

 

The goal of a workshop is to educate people about the need for inner healing and the availability of freedom from emotional pain and trauma through Jesus Christ.  It is not a substitute for personal ministry, but allows a person to experience a certain level of relief to encourage them to pursue further inner healing if necessary.    

A seminar includes four or five sessions held over a two-day period and provides much more information regarding the HBH Ministry method of inner healing.  The goal of the seminar is once again to educate regarding the need for inner healing, but also to allow those who attend to have more information if they are considering entering HBH training opportunities.

There is a registration process for the seminars and workshops which includes a registration fee, and attendance is normally limited to a pre-determined number of people.  
 

We are willing to come to your church, fellowship, or small group,

and can do either an HBH seminar or a workshop depending on your need.
If you are interested, send us an email,

and we will be glad to give you more information.

What in the World is Going on With Me?

Have you ever asked yourself that question?  You love the Lord Jesus and have asked Him into your life, but something is blocking you from receiving freedom from old habits and ungodly reactions to things.

Many times, but not always, the sin that we continue to battle in our lives is the result of past emotional pain and trauma that are festering beneath the surface.  If you find yourself repeatedly "going around the same mountains," this may be the reason.

Addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, gambling, food, prescription medications, cutting oneself, or any other thing may be the result of emotional pain and trauma from the past or present. 

 

Trauma includes the death of a loved one, divorce, abuse of any kind (sexual, mental, verbal, emotional, spiritual or physical), repeatedly moving from one location to another (especially during childhood), natural disasters (fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.), and anything else that is extremely upsetting to the normal life circumstance.

 

As painful memories from past events are triggered and come to the surface, the associated emotional, mental, or physical pain may be intense.  In an attempt to numb or deaden that pain, you may have one, two, three, or more drinks, use drugs, or in some other way try to relieve or remove that pain.  It may work for a short time because the activity changes the chemical balance in your brain.  However, it is not a permanent solution and the unbearable emotional, mental, spiritual or physical pain eventually surfaces again.  The cycle of numbing the pain, it reappearing, and numbing it again can lead to full-blown addiction.

 

Does this sound familiar?  If so, the good news is that there is hope!  Many people have received freedom from ungodly behavior, sin, and addictions through inner healing prayer ministry. Jesus Christ came to set the captives free, but sometimes it requires a person, "Jesus with skin on," to help in the process.  

This is what the Healing the Brokenhearted Ministry is about, helping to set people free from the pain and trauma that keeps them bound to sin and ungodly behavior.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

ALL FOR JESUS MINISTRIES

  

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
 Because the LORD has anointed Me
  To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
 And the opening of the prison

to those who are bound;”

Isaiah 61:1

 

Isaiah 61:1 was the Mission Statement of Jesus Christ, which He quoted and announced in Luke 4:18-21. 

  

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”  Luke 4:18-21

 

 

 

This is the Mission Statement of All for Jesus Ministries as well.

 
 

Our mission is to minister the love of Jesus Christ to the brokenhearted, the spiritually oppressed, those needing physical healing, and the unsaved.

 

 

 We are also called to mentor, disciple, and train others who are then better equipped to fulfill this mission for the Lord Jesus Christ wherever and whenever He gives them the opportunity to do so.
