 And today I want to touch on inner healing, healing from trauma and inner wounds, healing of the soul, healing of the heart. I want you to open the scripture with me, Isaiah 53.5. Now it's a complex subject to unravel in 40 minutes, but I'm going to try my best and then I give you an example. So just pay careful attention and allow most importantly the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart because every person in this place needs healing of the heart in one area or the other. We are always a work in progress and as we allow Holy Spirit to bring things up in our soul, when He brings it up He has grace to fix it. He has grace to heal it. He has grace to mend your broken heart. Isaiah 53.5 says this, surely He has borne our griefs. If you don't believe it's sent to underline in your Bible, you can underline the word grief. And carried our sorrows, you can underline that word. There will be two main things that today we're going to focus on. Yet we assume He is stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. Verse 5, but He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes we are healed. Now I've heard the Scripture all my life since I've been in the church and whenever the Scripture was read, most often it was read like during communion or before the time that we prayed for physical healing. But I've never paid attention to the verse 4 that before He addresses the health of your body, the healing of your body, Jesus' mission was to address the health of your soul, the health of your heart. Are you with me? Because many times when a person has been abused, rejected, wounded or hurt in some way there is an emotional wound that needs to be healed. And what often times happens and being in the ministry of deliverance of over 10 years and ministering deliverance to people, I find that more often than not demons use that wound that hurt to enter into a person and have a hold in their life. Because a wounded soul, a hurt heart, often times begins to harbor feelings of unforgiveness, pain, rejection and loneliness which is sin that opens the door, gives a legal right for demons to operate. And I wish I could tell you that deliverance fixes everything in your life, but it does not. It's one of the means, one of the tools that God has given us as a church as part of the gospel to help humanity, to help people, to set people free from demonic strongholds and demonic oppressions. But one other tool that God also has given us which what I'm going to focus on is the healing of the heart. Say it with me, the healing of the heart. Okay. So I'm going to go a little bit into psychology so that we understand the way our mind and our soul operates, okay? Our soul consists of our will emotions and our will emotion and mind, our thoughts, okay? And when a person goes through a traumatic event, it could be verbal abuse, it could be a sexual abuse, it could be a physical abuse, it could be a sudden death, a sudden thing that happens to them that they're not equipped or they're not able to process emotionally in that moment in time. What happens is in order for us to function and to continue to live on our life, God has designed our soul in such a way, our mind in such a way that it takes that overwhelming emotion, whatever it might be, it could be fear, it could be loneliness, it could be rejection, it could be this pain and shock, it takes that moment in time and takes those emotions, those feelings that you're feeling and suppresses it and puts it on a back seat so that your core personality, your core you can continue on living. Are you with me? Okay. Also, depending on the severity of the event, if the event is very severe, especially it happens particularly on a childhood because children do not have coping mechanisms developed yet to be able to process certain feelings and excessive emotions in those moments in time, what could also happen is they could dissociate from the event completely and create a separate personality that has, that harbors, that gets frozen in time and has its own persona, feelings, emotions, stuck in that time, for example. If, let's say, a little girl at the age of seven, something very horrific happens to her like she gets raped by somebody that he trusts or anyone for that matter, that the shock to her body and to her emotional state is so severe, she doesn't know how to process, she's frozen in time, that person can dissociate from the event and what they call, it's called, it happens a split personality and that smaller girl at the age of seven, that personality fractures, dissociates and gets frozen in time while the core personality, the core her continues to move and advance because if she stays in that feeling of shock, overwhelming, hurt and pain, the person could literally physically die if they don't snap out of it. Does that make sense? Okay. Spare me for a little bit longer and now the person moves on and they could be in the age of 30. They could actually, I've seen that so many times, not even remember the event. I was ministering to one lady about a month and a half ago. She came, she said, I'm having this severe back pain, I'm going to chiropractors constantly, but this pain and this tightness is not leaving me. I can't sleep at night, things are tormenting me and I'm here for deliverance and immediately I discerned that there's more than deliverance that needs to be done. I said, hey listen, was there any traumatic events that you have gone through that you could recall maybe specifically in your childhood between age of three to 13 or maybe even later, but is there something specific that maybe perhaps you can recall that we want to, I want to deal with, I want to invite Holy Spirit to bring healing and she thought about it for about 30, 40 seconds so it looked like she did take some time to think about it. She says, no, not that I can remember, well my boyfriend over those on drugs six months ago and he passed away, maybe that's that. I was like, yeah, that sounds pretty traumatic so I'm thinking that's the case so I'm about to lead her into the prayer of inner healing for that. I said, but hold on, let's ask Holy Spirit to bring up any memory in the case that anything got suppressed or dissociated and so as I lead her to prayer, I asked Holy Spirit to bring up a memory that he wants to heal all of a sudden she says, she starts sobbing and crying I'm asking her what's happening, what's going on, where are you at right now at the moment and she says, oh this man is raping me, he's on top of me, he's taking advantage of me and because my mind was already set to deal with the whole boyfriend death and all this stuff I kind of had to pull back few steps and wait a second how did this person not remember this traumatic event? I mean you think something like that you'd always remember, right? But that's when a person experiences an excessive extreme emotions, extreme trauma they can get to the point that their soul dissociates it gets fractured and it gets suppressed so the core personality, the core person can move on live in their life without so much being too much affected by that does that make sense? and when that person, when the trauma when the personality came up we invited Jesus, Jesus brought healing to the heart she received healing from the trauma and then the moment she got received healing of the heart from that event I said, hey, how are you feeling right now? we haven't even prayed for deliverance yet and she's like, oh wow, the detention of my body is gone like I'm not feeling any pain in my back she was just so happy, she was excited she was like, oh, she thought we were done I was like, oh no, no, we're not done yet I was like, now we gotta cast out demons so you can sleep at night peacefully and then I come in a demon to come out and in about two, three minutes the demon came out because he had no more hold on her life because also in that trauma and that wound she was harboring unforgiveness toward that man that took advantage and rightfully so she released forgiveness she also, because that man was he called himself a man of God a minister, she also was harboring forgiveness toward God because she associated that man of God with God and she had to I don't like to use the word forgive God because that indicates that God is at fault the more correct term would be to release God for the responsibility that we placed on him because, and she was having a hard time and I had to explain to you, I said, listen do you believe that God gives us free will? there were agents of free will, she said yes I was like, do you believe that God honors your free will? she's like, yes I was like, do you believe that God also honored his free will even though it was evil? it took her a second but she understood, she was like, yes I was like, do you know that God's heart was broken what was happening to you? he was hurting, and that's why that's why the Father had to send Jesus on the cross to die to earn healing for your heart so today you can receive that freely from him she said, yeah, I understand I was like, would you release God now from the responsibility of placing him? she said, yes, I would and as she released the forgiveness to the abuser she released God from the responsibility she received that healing and her heart was whole and I believe that she's going to come and testify when she's ready and it's just that's how inner healing looks like the healing of the heart looks like and Isaiah 61 1 says this the spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor he has sent me to heal the broken hearted broken means shattered into pieces separate pieces and Jesus says before he says to set the captives free to do all other things he said I came to preach and the next thing that he says he says I'm here to bring a shattered heart of your pieces together I'm here to mend you and that's what Jesus is here to that's what Jesus is here to do let's define trauma quickly trauma is a wound or fracture of the inner person it's a result from exposure to an incident serious of events that are emotionally disturbing or life-threatening with lasting adverse effects on individual's function and mental, physical, social, emotional and spiritual well-being trauma is a side effect of events that happen to you which are beyond our control it can be a form of physical, verbal, emotional, sexual and spiritual abuse also it can be anything from a road accident falling down the stairs or sudden bad news or some major trauma events a single event that changes the course of our life it can also be multiple minor events that can eventually cause a very similar effect on our life traumatic events both have long and short-term consequences on our life let's look at three different traumas that psychologist professional psychologist define there's three different traumas it's acute chronic complex acute trauma is a result of a single traumatic event that's something like what I explained you're going through a major event physical abuse, sudden death sexual abuse or anything like that just shocks a person beyond what they're able to handle at the moment changes their life, changes their character changes their mood, changes the trajectory of their life it's chronic trauma chronic trauma is repeated and prolonged events they could be maybe minor events but if they're repeated and continuous eventually they have some effect for example a person that is an abusive relationship and verbally abusive relationship it might not be like anything drastic it might not be like sexual or physical abuse but verbal abuse sometimes words hurt more than they hurt your soul more than a physical abuse and when a person is in a verbal abuse relationship and they constantly hear you're stupid you're nobody, you're dumb they can be belittled, they can be pressed down they came being just hurt over and over again the person can develop that inner wound that trauma in their heart that eventually is as severe and as bad as one major traumatic event are you with me so far and number three psychologists say it's a complex trauma it's exposure to various and multiple traumatic events often an invasive and interpersonal nature and this is one of those that very complex and very hard to deal with because it's a multi-layered events different types of events across different timeframes and childhood and teenage and adult years and it takes time to work with them and to help them peel that layer by layer for them to receive help ok let's look at the consequences of trauma the effects of a soul wound caused by trauma are depression emotional overreaction emotional shutdown triggered emotionally switching of personality or moods divided within itself loss of time and memory hearing multiple voices self-harm suicidal thoughts and suicidal attempts now some of you are like I found in one or more of these categories well that's why we're here and that's why the spirit of God is here to bring healing I remember I was ministering to this one person some years ago and he actually came to one of our prayer lines and when I was talking with him the things that he came to receive prayer form was the fact that he was undecisive now like I don't know if it's a demon or not he's like no I'm sure it's a demon so he was telling me it's like it's like when it comes to a decision making I do my studies he's very logical man I do my things and I research and I completely understand him because that's how it is I was studying for I was doing research for a week and a half on the best steamer to buy for $30 I'm like why am I wasting my time but I just want to make sure what I'm getting is a good thing it has the best reviews and for so he was that kind of a man I completely understood and connected him on that point but he said after I do and I'm sure of my decision the moment that comes to pulling a trigger and making a decision I get divided I can't make up my mind I can start hearing other voices and he's like it goes from it's not normal because it goes from the smallest things of deciding what kind of food I want to eat to the fact that I'm not married I've had really good solid relationships God the women and I could not make up my mind to go with them and so as I begin to as I begin to minister and at that time I just understood very little about healing inner healing and healing of the heart but supernaturally and divinely Lord kind of led the prayer and that men the men receive healing and first what I thought that came up was a demon but it wasn't a demon it was literally a trauma that he experienced when he was a teenager and it was a fractured part of his soul when I asked what's his name he gave me his name I'm like wait what's going on because usually demons give you like name like fear anger witchcraft and things like that I was like wait I'm confused what's happening because I saw Bob Larson do this I said hey how old are you and he's like I'm 15 then I understood okay I'm dealing with the fractured personality of the person I asked him what happened to you this and this and that and then the Lord Jesus brought brought help he went through very traumatic event with his father and and what was interfering with his decision making mechanism is that 15 year old him who did not have that experience who did not have that knowledge that 30 plus year old him he had it and it sounded like him so he thought it was him which was him but the fractured part of him a 15 year old him with the 15 year old experience does that make sense and now a 35 year old and a 15 year old arguing inside of him which both are him and he can't make a decision because one side of him thinks this the other side of him thinks that but I understood very little of that time when I was ministering to the person but what shocked me was an email that I got from him that he said you can't believe it first of all the voice stopped in my head number two I can actually decide what I can eat freely and easily he's like when it comes to decisions I do my research I know what I want to get and I do it he's like I'm shocked myself because his heart was healed and whole his heart was single he was not divisive and so that was very interesting experience that I had when it comes to that hearing multiple voices now in this regard it also could be demons that are talking and inside but often times people themselves say but this person is a 7 year old that's talking to me oh this person is 15 year old inside of me they're talking usually demons first of all demons are way older than 7 or 15 they've been here since the flood they're a couple thousand years old and when a person begins to recognize it's a little child talking to them or another one of them that's talking that usually indicates a fractured soul dissociation from a trauma and they need healing another one big one that I noticed when a minister in a healing is chunks of time that are missing out of their memory specifically out of the childhood people would say something like I don't remember anything from the time of 5 to 7 I don't remember anything from 7 to 13 just like that chunk of their life is gone and they can't see it, they can't remember it and when we begin to lead people into healing we find out right before that there was a traumatic event that I went through sometimes they don't even remember it Holy Spirit brings it up brings healing to them and they can remember now that part of their life and they are whole and healed are you with me so far? another consequences of trauma another consequence of trauma is sickness in the body let me explain to you when the soul is sick it begins to have adverse effects on your body and eventually your body begins to be sick now I don't have the article with me but there's multiple articles and studies that have been done and you can google it and see it for yourself where scientists already have come up to this conclusion that when a person experiencing severe emotional distress or issues like depression like the things that we talked about emotional overreactions, mood swings and all the other stuff anxiety it begins to die in a negative way and often times it's time to suppress the immune system functions of your gold bladder your thyroid suppresses your digestive system and people in this state either can gain or lose weight even though and often times people would say something well I'm eating healthy and I exercise but I can't get health I can't be healthy because if they have a wound in their soul that is causing their digestive system being suppressed or their immune system to be suppressed for example they could be eating healthy meals but their body is not observing necessary nutrients because their digestive system is suppressed and it's not and often times even doctors saying after the studies yes you're eating this and this and this but your body is just not able to retain iron your body is just not able to retain this vitamin on this vitamin and often times it's not a physical problem it's an emotional issue and when the heart gets healed the body it's like it was suppressing your immune system holding it down it was functioning at 30% now it's been released now your immune system your digestive system actually begins to do what it was designed by God to do to heal and restore your body and with time even without supernatural healing your body restores and recovers itself I remember I was praying for one person who had severe eczema and when I begin to pray for her it looked like demonic manifestation but I've already been doing it for long enough I begin to understand the difference between a demonic manifestation and a fractured soul when it comes up you can tell it by the eyes by the way it reacts demons are very aggressive usually when a wound comes up it's usually scared and very timid and even though sometimes it could act reactively because it tries to defend itself it still has a very much like a fear timid kind of approach and so when I begin to deal again this girl have gone through a very severe past very traumatic past multiple events we've gone through some of them she never came up and asked for eczema even though I saw it on her hands everywhere but she said on her body was even worse and later on I found out when she testified that after that prayer of the healing of the soul her body, her skin just became better because her soul, her immune system her body was not being held down, held hostage by her soul oftentimes people experience tightness in their chest in their backs, in their muscle because as their soul is trying to supress and hold down these emotional feelings not to come up it begins to reflect in their body of tightness because that's what soul is doing and that reflects on the body does that make sense? when people got released they felt sense of relief and they were able to just receive automatically without even any supernatural intervention of healing many soul wounds are as a result of a basic emotional needs not being met as a person the mental basic needs that every human needs in order for them to function wholesomely number one it's physiological needs it's air, water, shelter, clothing and sleep if a person gets deprived of these physiological needs oftentimes they can develop an emotional trauma or a wound it's a safety needs, physical and emotional connection number three it's a love and belonging we need friendship intimacy, family, sense of connection when oftentimes a person gets rejected I was ministering to this one gentleman who his wife has was unfaithful to him and cheated on him and left him and he just got so hurt and wounded and he just received this lie that I'm not good enough and I'll never find one like her and it was all harboring an event when she came and brought him the ring said I want to be with you anymore and because I've been seeing somebody else and I was a friend and so that wounded him and these guys is already 15 years past that event can't have a relationship and can't have peace in your soul ministered to him Jesus brought healing invited Jesus into his memory he was so shocked to see Jesus in his memory he was I can't believe it it's him he ran and embraced him Lord heal his heart and waiting for testimony for him to be married he's actually seen somebody right now and so that was already a milestone for him and so when we get deprived of these things friendship, intimacy and family sense of connection often times a trauma can be developed and number four esteem which is respect self esteem, recognition, strength and freedom often times people have suppressed emotions or hurts or pain when maybe in the in a childhood they were made fun of by their friends they thought they were their friends they always do stupid things and they do things they think that's funny and for other person maybe that grew up in a healthy family and healthy home with a healthy emotional upbringing they're making fun of him and that person is like whatever laugh with everybody but another person, another child that maybe does not receive enough love and affirmation from their parents or maybe lives in a broken home that happens to them and the same kids make fun of him the same way they made fun of the other and it didn't affect them for this child it becomes emotional wound and trauma and then they can't function normally in relationships because they think that if they get close to somebody they're gonna get hurt if they get close to somebody they're gonna get rejected they're gonna be shamed and now all their life the event happened when they're six now and for 24 right my math is correct 34 years they are not functioning correctly because their heart is broken and they want to have a relationship their core self their mental self they understand I need relationships I need fellowship they come to church they try to be a part of a home group they try to be a part of community but something on inside of them is driving them away from community driving them away from being closer driving them away from being committed and often times they don't even know what it is and they go like oh yeah these people didn't look at me right way so they don't love me you know I left the church pastor he did not shake my hand when I came in he just passed me by like I'm nobody and I can't go to the church anymore because damn man they're just not loving most of the time it's not that the pastor is not loving not that the church is actually not loving and caring I'm not saying there's not sometimes mistakes are made we're all imperfect but most of the time what I find when people have that attitude if you dig deep enough you'll find these soul wounds of rejection going back in their life and in their past and in their childhood see you have to understand from a rage about two to twelve you are a you are a recording device you're recording everything everything's been recorded from the age of about twelve thirteen for the rest of your life all you're doing is you're replaying what you have recorded for first ten years of your life that's it some of you have dysfunctional relationships with your spouse because you never had a father or you had a father but your father and mother did not have healthy relationships and you want to have a healthy relationship you love your spouse you want to have a loving kind relationship but you have been conditioned and programmed from two to twelve and you can't help yourself but you just play out what you have recorded all these traumas all these wounds all these things they've been piled up and you want to change you make a decision to change you do it for three weeks you do it for three months and you're back to your default setting which will happen to you between that age now traumatic events and different things can happen even further in your life as I've explained earlier but these years are very crucial and often times when we begin to deal with people help them with deliverance what triggers them what gets them to do what they do it all eventually ends up between the ages of two to twelve now there could be many other events like I said but if you peel and peel and peel and peel you end up in that age bracket and in John chapter 14 30 I believe Jesus says that Satan the ruler of this world he has nothing in me the other translations say he has no power in me what Jesus is saying is that Satan has no strings that he can pull on he has no soul wounds that he can trigger me and have me act out of character have me get angry with my wife and then I come back and say honey I'm sorry it wasn't me well technically you were right that was probably a six year old you that got triggered that has no reasoning really and when the core you came back you're like wait why that's so stupid why am I arguing with you I'm so sorry and then we regret it we apologize we ask God for forgiveness we ask our wives for forgiveness we ask our children for forgiveness and then some time later we find ourselves again in the same situation and then you ask yourself why am I getting triggered it's not supposed to be like that but that's where it comes from experiences can vary from the smallest things to the great things that people completely dissociate and completely other personality that comes up Apostle Tom who is a great friend of mine he was working with this person they had 42 different fractured personalities in him and his soul was so broken and shattered and this person would determined to go some place and then finds himself in a completely different place because somewhere along the line another personality took over and made different decision when somewhere and then the next day he wakes up in a different city and he's like where am I where am I doing what's happening another personality took over so when he begin to minister to him he's like I'm down to 42 and I don't know how much more I can help him but now this person is actually in his mind all the time which was a big deal for him now this person actually is holding a job which was something he could not he's literally on disability it's a big difference still a lot of things to go through still a lot of still even some deliverance that needs to take place but the amazing part is that God is healing his fractured heart and bringing it all together Jesus is here to heal your heart to heal your soul for you to live in complete freedom there's three elements that you have to address and sometimes it starts with one or sometimes you can start with the other the three elements that that you need to address number one is deliverance if there are demons behind your wounds which most of the time that I find is your heart they amplify those feelings the inner wounds are already triggers but demons would amplify those feelings make it that much more fear, anxiety and all of those other things you need to receive deliverance from demons often times that takes it from a hundred down to thirty but the triggers are still there then you have to deal with those emotional wounds and ask Jesus to bring healing to the soul and the soul gets healed now there is no more triggers however there is the third element is that because we've been triggered all the time because we've been acting this way all the time because that's how we've been thinking for so many years we have developed a neuro pathways in our brain that even when the trigger is not there the demon is not there but our mindset is still the same we're still thinking the same pattern we're still afraid when there is no more trigger and no more demon amplifying those feelings of fear does that make sense? so this is where Apostle Paul says your life is changed by the renewing of your mind you need the word of God to renew your mind to realign your thinking to create new neuro pathways in your brain of thinking about the subject of the matter differently that's why Jesus says in John chapter 7 I believe says when the sun sets free indeed that's the deliverance aspect but then few verses later he says you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free so which one is it? knowing the truth or the sun sets free it's both it's the complete wholesome approach to freedom deliverance from demons healing of the heart and reading God's word until it changes the way you think so that your life can be changed are you with me? how do we receive healing and we're gonna go into the time of ministry when a person we'll start with a more severe case dissociation we need to ask all the spirit to bring up that memory to the surface often times like I said severe dissociations people can't even remember the event all the spirit brings up the memory often times a person that person that needs to allow all the feelings and memories to come up now often times it's a scary event and scary thing because a person literally is reliving that event that just happened to them ok so this is the most important thing is that all the feelings all the things all that part of the soul has to come up so that Jesus can have access to it ok we allow that to come up we invite Jesus quickly because then when Jesus comes peace comes so that wounded part of the soul comes down then we ask Jesus to reveal if there is any lie that a person has embraced when that wouldn't happen for example like I said this gentleman that his wife left him and he embraced a lie that he's no good and he's never gonna find another person that's a lie from the enemy we renounce that we repent for that lie renounce that lie are you with me so far ok then we ask Jesus is there anybody this person used to forgive because unforgiveness is an open door to demons before we get to deal with the demons we must release unforgiveness often times it's the abuser maybe we did something that caused the event we need to forgive ourselves or we need to release God because we place the responsibility on God God you did this you allowed this my mom died because I prayed and you didn't answer the prayer whatever the case might be and after that we ask Jesus to heal the heart and this is a lot of times people just begin to weep and cry because they feel the safety they feel the love they feel the embrace they feel the compassion of Jesus healing them and then we ask we tell them hey now with Jesus leave that memory and go into the place that Jesus leads you someplace safe and wholesome and that's it and then the proof that person got healed ask them to recall the memory again they recall it and there is no more triggers and emotions and tears and screaming attached to it often times what I found that memory becomes such a faded event where before they could recall the smell the taste everything as if it just happened to them when they get healed they can just recall yeah something happened to me but I can't tell the details that was certainly my case in my when the Lord did healing on my heart and same in the same sense with suppressed emotions and wounds we allow them to come up allow them to come up we allow that to to experience that moment of the feeling we invite Jesus we hand those emotions of bitterness of pain of loneliness we handed to him often times people we visually see handing a some sort of an object to Jesus that represented those emotions I remember was praying for the guy and I was like what are you giving to Jesus he's like I'm giving Jesus my bet and that bet represented his anger towards his dad I'm seeing giving Jesus my bet Jesus took the bet he felt like that anger was released he received the embrace of Jesus he got healed by Jesus he forgave his dad and was changed men after that and so that's how we minister in a healing now today I want to do that do a mess in our healing event it's gonna probably look something different that you've maybe normally got used to we did in Philippines it was just amazing 2,000 people receiving any healing it was just an incredible experience and the deliverance that took place afterwards was people really received the touch of God and other places and when we did that encounter and today for the first time I want to minister to our church because I feel like everybody else around the world is receiving the benefit of it I want you to experience the healing love of Jesus in your heart as well okay so it's gonna just I want you to follow my instructions and it's gonna look similar to what I just described we're gonna close our eyes and we're gonna ask the Holy Spirit to bring up the memory now listen to this the first memory that pops up you might think your core self might begin to defend it oh it's silly doesn't matter no I got over it trust Holy Spirit the memory that comes up go there okay often times you'd be surprised what you thought is silly how actually how much it affects you go to that first memory let that memory come up let those emotions come up look those feelings come up don't hold anything back we have some minister that will be able to minister to you if we if you need to have special extra attention let that come up we're gonna invite Jesus and just listen to my voice and follow alone okay I'm gonna guide you through this process I'm gonna guide you through this process in Romania when I was ministering there was a psychologist who was a pastor he's one of the top psychologists in Romania for 25 years he's practicing or 20 years he's practicing that he after the service he came to me said listen I ministered for 20 years to people as a psychologist but almost a pastor American company hired him to as a psychologist to help their top staff top performing staff he said what you taught today I've never heard it taught in this way and in 45 minutes you've helped more people that have happened 20 years so I know what Jesus is about to do just trust the process close your eyes Holy Spirit I pray over this room over every person I declare that Jesus is safe this place is safe and then anything that you're about to do you have grace to finish it in Jesus name Holy Spirit I ask you that you will bring up a memory or a traumatic event or a suppressed emotion that you want to heal right now that you want to heal right now so I want you to allow those things to come up it's a safe environment don't worry if you're going to be crying screaming or whatever it is listen we are here to help you let it come up let it come up now I want you
