WELCOME TO THE BETHEL HEALING CENTRE
Introduction
The work of the Bethel Healing Centre is to offer spiritual healing and a place where you can soak in the presence of God. Our spiritual health is clearly related to our relationship with God. The closer we walk with Jesus, the healthier we are spiritually. The closer we walk with Him, the more His healing power is released. We believe that there are strong links between spiritual health and both physical and mental health. Therefore we expect participants to gain in spiritual health and experience improved physical and mental health.
Our approach to healing is based on the teachings and procedures recommended by Dr. Mark Virkler and Patti Virkler (Communion with God Ministries). They are recognized internationally as biblically solid, Jesus-centred Christian leaders and teachers. (www.cwgministries.org)
The Bethel Healing Centre also offers the opportunity to soak in God’s presence. God commands us, "Be still and know that I am God", but being still is often impossible in this busy world even in our own homes. The church has space where you will be undisturbed and where you can rest and focus completely on Jesus.
Spiritual Health
We are spiritually unhealthy when our mental attitude towards God is anything other than total surrender and total obedience to Him. Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth and the life." John 14:6. He knows we all go our own way sometimes and therefore we are all unhealthy, or in biblical words, we are sinners. Thanks be to God for the Good News that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. When we put our trust in Him i.e. let Him control our lives, He pours out His love and the healing that goes with it.
Healing Centre
It starts with the Intake Form you fill out when you come through the door. The key information on the form is what you put in the space called "Prayer Need." That is really our way of asking why you are here. Before you meet your Healing Team, they will have prayed over the form (without knowing whose it is or what it says) asking God to show why you are here and what He would have them say to you. They will share with you what God has revealed and talk about how it relates to the Prayer Need you wrote down. Once the issues on your heart are identified, the healing process will begin with prayer.
Healing Process
God really has to determine the next steps and we believe He will guide both you and the Healing Team to go His way, in His Name, and in His time, to His glory. The next step could be healing prayer, teaching about Jesus’ love and His promises or something new and different. God is full of surprises! Bible study or counselling could also be recommended, but these are not offered at the Healing Centre.
One step that is often taken is to lead you through a series of prayers that heal the heart. This begins by exploring possible roots of the "heart issue" that brought you here. Words, thoughts and deeds that separate us from God, (what the Bible calls sin) release energy to keep us separated. The devil works very hard to keep it that way. Six areas are explored for reasons for poor spiritual health:
Generational sins and curses
Ungodly soul ties
Negative expectations
Inner vows
Remembering the past without Jesus
Word curses (other than generational ones)
Generational Sins and Curses
It is common knowledge that we can inherit a susceptibility to illnesses from our parents and ancestors. It is not always understood that we do not inherit their sin, we only inherit the inclination to sin. God says, "Behold, all souls are mine". Nothing our ancestors said or did can prevent us from being accepted by God as His children. Only we ourselves can do that and we do when we continuously rebel against His authority.
Good things and bad things are passed on from generation to generation. Some of the bad things are: addictions, proneness to specific physical and mental diseases, as well as a nature that rebels against God’s authority. We have so many ancestors after a few generations that any problem probably came from someone. We may never know the source. Sometimes however it is clear where the problem came from and other times God will reveal the source.
Identifying the entry point of these inherited weaknesses enables us to pray against them and break their ability to undermine our relationship with God.
Ungodly Soul Ties
A soul tie exists when there is a close relationship, between two persons. They can be good or bad, godly or ungodly. The relationship becomes ungodly when one partner seeks to dominate, manipulate or control another. Again by identifying them, those ungodly soul ties are broken by God through confession, forgiveness and cleansing.
Negative Expectations
Making negative judgements about what is going to happen has a powerful effect on what will happen. It reflects a hidden assumption that Jesus our Lord is unable to control events or if He can, He does not love us enough to protect us. Exploring our own thinking and listening to our words exposes these negative thoughts. The solution is to take them to Jesus and to walk by faith in Him, not by sight or in our own understanding. That brings light into our spirit and banishes the darkness of negative thinking.
Inner Vows
These result from our negative judgements of ourselves, other people in our lives or institutions we have to deal with. They often come out as statements that we are promising to do something in our own strength. That shows that we think we are in control, not God. It amounts to a statement that we do not trust God to lead us on the right path. Again the solution is confession, repentance/forgiveness and cleansing.
Remembering the Past without Jesus
Every time we remember traumatic experiences from our past, they provide an open door for evil spirits to influence our thought processes. There, they regenerate fear, anxiety and stress. This prayer invites the Holy Spirit to show us where Jesus was in our vision of that event and what He was doing. We may not have been committed to Jesus at that time, but now we know that Jesus has been with us since before we were born. He promises to be with us always. Remembering this promise and seeing that Jesus was actually with us, brings freedom and release from the negative emotions associated with those experiences.
Breaking Word Curses
Some, such as inner vows and generational curses, have already been dealt with. Often our thought patterns have been influenced by curses made over us by others. These can be made in jest or as an insult. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus notes the seriousness of cursing. Such curses have to be dealt with to free us from the spiritual influence they have to make us believe their lies.
Conclusion
These six prayers heal our hearts and refocus our lives on Jesus. You are then invited to take authority over any evil spirits that have taken refuge in you and demand that they leave you alone. You do this with the authority of Jesus Christ and replace them with the Holy Spirit.
Summary
God heals! He may do it instantaneously or over time. He uses the medical professions and you will note we offer no medical advice. Don’t forget that you are expected to respect your body’s needs for proper exercise, a sound diet and adequate rest. Remember also Jesus’ promise, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not let them be afraid." John 14:27
Soaking in God’s Presence
The Bethel Healing Centre provides a setting where you will be left in peace to come into the presence of God There you can talk to Him, listen to Him and let His love flood over you. Take the time to soak and know the joy of letting your heart receive His love.
VISION
We believe God is raising up an empowered Church that will bring in the final harvest. If the Church is to take the salvation message into our cities, it must be prepared to back up that message with Kingdom authority. If the Church is to take the power for healing into our cities, the Word of truth must impact us first. The Healing Rooms provide a place where the whole Church can come together to reach the whole city and where members of each congregation can be trained to minister more effectively in their own church. Our vision is to see God's power and the healing presence and power of Jesus become part of normal Christian life. We want to see the lost placed in local congregations as the gospel is proclaimed and healing ministries operating in every church as ordinary believers are trained and empowered to pray for the sick in every church.
