Compassion, an Essential Trait of an Effective Deliverance Healing Ministry

"Compassion does not come naturally, at least not to me. My mother used to say she had more compassion in her little finger than I had in my whole body, and I don’t think mum had much. I looked up the word compassion. It has Latin roots; Latin, com-,with; com- + Latin pat, to suffer. It means to suffer with or to share. As I look at the cross, it displays Jesus’ willingness to share or bear our suffering. His compassionate love drove Him to take our place of suffering. As such, it is not much of a peculiarity that a committed deliverance healing ministry shows the same compassion to those in need of liberation from their bondage. I’ve been thinking about what releases the power of God. It’s obvious that Jesus compassion was the motivating source of His power. Compassion does not come naturally to me. There are times when I neglect doing the things that God calls me to do; which probably most people can relate to (Most of us are like the rest of us)."

The Blood is Sufficient: The Foundation of the Ministry of Deliverance

"It’s essential we know the forgiving, cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus! Nothing we can do will ever add to or take away from the work that Christ did on the cross. As the song says, ""What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus.” This is a powerful and liberating teaching we need to understand in hoping to experience true freedom from guilt and shame, the goal of an effective Ministry of Deliverance. It can be difficult to grasp the forgiving power of Christ's shed blood; it can seem too good to be true. Fortunately, God's word declares that through Christ we have exceedingly great and precious promises."

Ministry of Deliverance: Humility and Faith Can Help in Overcoming Setbacks

A person may be blessed with all the talents, success, respect and money the world may offer, but there may come a time that a situation can make all of that mean nothing. It's only by learning the values of humility and faith from a ministry of deliverance can one gain knowledge on how to overcome such a setback. Experiencing a crisis does not have to mean that it's the end of the world. Instead, this can be seen as God's way of showing what truly matters. His ways may not be viewed as favorable by some people, but it's by submitting to His ways that people can renew a relationship with God and receive His gifts. Money can do a lot in the material sense and having the respect of others can put a person in a prime position, but neither can grant eternal life. It's by putting faith in God and trusting that He is doing things for a reason can people learn what's truly valuable.

Any Deliverance Healing Ministry is Grounded on Faithful Adherence to That “One Thing” Every Christian Proclaims as His Truth

In life it seems to me that we only really remain consistent in that which we love. You may have heard the saying often spoken to young people, as their about to launch out into the world and begin their career, “If you do what you love there’s a good chance you’ll be successful at it.” Ever notice how easy it is to get up early in the morning to do something you love. i.e., Such as going on a fishing trip, a game of golf or heading off camping etc. In other words, by first coming to love God, or be ‘in love’ with God, we’ll then desire to know His will, and we’ll then grow to love to do His will. Such is the impetus felt by servants in a deliverance healing ministry.

There's More than One Way to Treat “Pain”

Most people think that pain is nothing more than the physical or emotional hardship that everybody experiences. There are physical disabilities and difficulties that we experience that make life unbearable, and while some people are lucky enough not to suffer those things, many lose their will to live due to excruciating pain they feel in their hearts. This is a different kind of pain that is not experienced by the body and mind.

In this case, what is felt is more spiritual than emotional. This is where healing ministries come into play, as oftentimes those who are in pain simply need someone to intercede and pray for them. Companionship goes a long way in teaching a person that nobody is ever alone in their time of peril, and those who are have bottled up their pain inside them for years will find relief in having a shoulder to rely on.

Christian healing ministries follow the principles set by Christ in anointing the sick. Here, prayer and the laying of hands are given just as much importance as conventional medicine, for it is believed that ailments in the body are partly a manifestation of deficiencies in the spirit. The proper way to treat pain of all kinds is to adopt a holistic approach: treating the body, mind, and soul.

Spiritual Deliverance: Freedom in The Lord's Name

Life isn't easy, and that's because humanity is held captive by numerous things. Oppression and depression can weigh down on people, even on the most devout Christians. It's only through the grace of the Lord that believers can find relief from their labors. A deliverance ministry can spread the Good News and ease people's suffering.

To understand the deliverance the Lord brings, one must first realize that the alleviation offered by the Divine isn't the physical kind. Rather, the Word is intended to spiritually and metaphysically free the soul and the mind. As Jesus once said in the Scriptures, those who come to Him “shall thirst no longer,” but this does not refer to the need to drink water; it refers to the spirit's need for sustenance.

Deliverance isn't just about finding peace and comfort; it's also about saving people from sin. A common phrase heard among Christians of various denominations is the plea, “Deliver us from evil.” Indeed, it's through the power of the Word that people can find redemption from sin, and even the most hardened sinners can be pardoned by the grace of Jesus and His Heavenly Father. A deliverance ministry also seeks to expel demonic influence wherever it is found. Those troubled by negative presences need not languish any further, for they can find solace in the Lord.

Companionship: The Best Way for True Healing

For those who have recovered from terrible, traumatic experiences, finding someone to confide with helps tremendously. While everyone needs companionship, especially during moments of great need, finding Christian companionship is much better than what is often offered by family and colleagues. This is because you are treated not only with the company of friends, but also with the company of God.

This partnership of human and divine is necessary to help cope with emotional or physical pain, which are more often than not caused by the person's poor spiritual health in the first place. After all, those who are attuned with God can efficiently manage themselves, despite the pains and sufferings that they may experience in their lives. Those who have trouble doing so may want to keep in touch with their spiritual selves and see if they've been faring well or not so far in their lives.

There are many things that can hold anyone back from their Christian living, and some of these can stem from seemingly harmless things like grief or loneliness. Through companionship with God and fellow-Christians, such things can be easily overcome. That is because the company provided by a Christian ministry revolves around prayer, which grieving and lonely people definitely need the more than simple counseling.

Following in His Footsteps: Redemption in the Word

Jesus is a very well known individual, both inside and out of the Christian faith. He's portrayed as a messianic figure (indeed, He is one of the most well-known of all redemption figures in both history and religion), and His ministry largely revolved around saving people from sin. It's only natural that Christians of today who are devoted to Him seek to continue His ministry of salvation.

Those administering Jesus' teachings strongly affirms that true deliverance can only be found in the Lord. Often, this entails sharing and interpreting verses from the Bible, which could offer answers to today's pressing problems. Jesus, as depicted in Scriptures, serves as a role model for humanity, and His ministers aim to encourage everyone to emulate His life.

Spreading the Word of the Lord isn't a simple task; and not everyone can be a capable orator. However, it only takes a humble desire to serve God and mankind to be a minister. Even though good oratory skills are hard to come by; the Lord always finds ways to speak His Word through His followers. As Jesus once traveled and preached the Good News, so must the ministers of today continue that sacred mission of deliverance.

Finding it Deep Down: Steps into Inner Healing

It takes raw courage to get in touch with your inner self and become a better person by shunning everything that represents the dark side. Paul McCartney could not have said it any better in his 90s hit “Hope of Deliverance,” one line of which ends with “from the darkness that surrounds us.”

The initial path of healing is to come to terms will the negative feelings that have built up within you such as fear, jealousy, and insecurity. Some theologians say holding on to these actually blocks the Holy Spirit from cleansing you of them. Letting things out by crying even helps acceptance, especially when you have a friend to share your pain with.

In Luke 23:34, Jesus Christ asked God to forgive those who put him on the cross because they didn't know what they were doing. You will have to find it within you to forgive those who dealt you injustice. At the same time, you will need to let go of earthly luxuries.

The path to healing oneself as part of accepting God into your life is indeed hard, but will be more than worth the trouble in the end. It is a good way to accept the Almighty's enlightenment and prepare for the Second Coming.

Role of the Internet in Religious Ministries

The debate on whether spirituality or science is the better idea to subscribe to is not seen to end anytime soon. This does not mean, though, that the two thoughts cannot co-exist, as proven by the presence of religious materials on the internet. Technology is turning out to be an effective platform for faith-based organizations to reach out to their flock.

There are several ways to do this; the first, through electronic mail. Automated mailing lists are set up by religious ministries to send out newsletters, service schedules, readings, and other literature deemed to enrich the spiritual lives of their followers.

Another is through putting up websites where the faithful can converge virtually. Online counseling links and discussions can be accommodated here to allow religious followers to get updated on the activities in their ministries. Websites are likewise valuable to religious leaders who want to hear from members and receive feedback and suggestions.

Social media, on the other hand, is a potent tool for members of religious congregations to do “witnessing:” a public affirmation of faith, particularly popular among born-again Christians. Many followers have used sites like Facebook and Twitter for witnessing so everyone they know will be aware of their religious status.
