At church, a man called Tim came for ministry for a physical condition. My husband and I ministered to him. Prompted by the Holy Spirit I asked him if anyone else in his family had the same thing. He said all of his family had it as well as his grandparents. I asked him when it started. He said it was when he was a teenager and described something to me. It was obvious from what he described that he was carrying shame.
I encouraged him to go as a child to Jesus standing at the cross and surrender It. Tim took off the shame as if it were dirty clothes and gave them to Jesus. He then received what Jesus wanted to clothe him in exchange.
He received from Jesus. We then prayed about his physical condition, a cleansing and cut him off from infirmity in his family bloodline...anything familiar through his parents and grandparents, and spoke healing to his body in Jesus’ name.
I also came against any negative words such as " you will always have this condition because your family has it...it is inherited etc.
We ministered to Tim about various fears. I then asked what his other fears were.
He said that it was being alone and the fear of being powerless. I broke the power of them in Jesus’ name.
I prayed the truth of scriptures into him (that related to these fears).
I asked Jesus to show the root causes of the fear of being powerless.
Tim said loads of images of different times kept flooding into his mind, one after another.
I asked Tim to ask Jesus what root one was.. Which root one did Jesus want to bring healing to today?
Tim said " I can't see anything'. I asked him to describe it and he said its black.. Then he said ' its the dark ......I am frightened of the dark "
Suddenly Tim had a revelation and said ...."I used to see very frightening horrible things in the room". He was amazed at remembering this.
I absolutely love this in ministry. When someone is going on a journey of discovery with the Holy Spirit and things that connect is a real surprise for them.
I encouraged Tim and said, "Jesus said (in Revelation) I stand at the door knocking." I said..." If you want to....Go and answer the door and let Jesus in.
I asked Jesus to bring the light of his love into the room
After a little while of watching amazing expressions on Tim's face .....I asked what had happened.
Tim said before I said about the light of Jesus’ love.... he had opened the door to the brightest most amazing light he had ever seen.
The bright light came into the room and swallowed up all the awful images.
Next, we asked Jesus to show him the root of being alone.
All Tim could think of, is that it was something to do with his primary school, but he didn't know what.
I said..." let Jesus show you yourself at primary school ......don't worry where it is"
Suddenly Tim said " I am sitting on some steps"
I encouraged Tim to invite Jesus to be present there..
I asked. " Where is Jesus?"
Tim said straight away "Jesus is sitting on the steps next to me."
Suddenly Tim said ' I know what it was ......I was bullied and went to the steps to hide and get away from everyone."
I asked Jesus to heal him in the way he wanted to.
After a little while, Tim started laughing and said. " He used humour.........Jesus brought humour to heal me.
Then I asked Tim to go as an adult and visit the little boy and Jesus on the steps.
Tim did this and was smiling, Later I asked what happened
Tim said it was incredible being a little boy, and then being an adult .....back and forth.
As an adult, he held the little boy’s hands in his.
Then he experienced being the little boy saying to his adult self "You've got big hands!"
Tim loved this time. It really blessed him.
I haven't seen Tim since so have no idea if he was physically healed. I do know that he had a wonderful time with Jesus .....and Jesus bought him healing and freedom from his fears and shame.
What a great God we have. Praise His name.
