Real Help with Hurting Emotions


Simple Keys to Heal Long Standing Emotional Pain
 
The book Deep Relief Now, by Dennis and Dr  Jen Clark, reveals how to quickly receive healing from past hurts.

So many Christians suffer from depression and other emotional hurts and cannot seem to experience help through counseling or even Christian Counselors.  The retelling of their pain only causes more intense suffering.

There are many inner healing techniques available, and I have studied some of them, but this is the only one I have found with lasting help.
  Simply the Clarks share how to abide in the presence of the Lord 24/7.   
  Abiding in Christ is as easy as opening the door of your heart to receive Jesus. 

 To daily experience the presence of Jesus, we must again open our heart and invite Jesus  to sup with us in our spirit.

Most of us think of our spirit man as being located in our chest.  We often consider the voice of God speaking to our mind, when in fact God’s voice comes from deep within. 

Actually the scriptures refer to our spirit being located in our “belly” and this is where our emotions are also to be found.  Jesus said, out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. 

The scriptures also speak of “Bowels of mercy.” (Our deep interior.)  We all understand that “Gut” feeling and the upset stomach when we are depressed, sad or troubled. 

When we open the door of our heart to invite Jesus to dwell with His presence, we are ready to understand that Jesus is the Forgiver and the Lover of all those who persecute or have hurt you.

While of ourselves may find it difficult to love and forgive, we can allow Jesus who we invited to come into our heart; to forgive through us.

This book gives a simple formula to find healing from past emotional hurts and pains.

I have copied the simplified Keys to Pray from the book;  Deep Relief Now by Dennis and Dr. Jen Clark.

Make yourself a copy and use it for yourself and to minister to others.

Prayer: to receive; “Deep Relief Now” 

KEY:  First, Feel, Forgive, Fact, Replace, Fill.

Minister to yourself and others under the Umbrella of Prayer 
Close Your Eyes and Pray - - 

First: What is the first person or situation that comes to mind?

Feel: Allow yourself to feel the emotion.

Forgive: Let Christ the forgiver; forgive through you.

Allow a river of forgiveness to flow through the negative emotion until it changes to peace. (Forgiveness may be toward God, self, or others.)

Fact: Most emotional wounds do not have a lie attached.

But occasionally a lie may be believed at the time of an emotional wounding and become a mental stronghold. Let forgiveness flow first until you have peace, then: Renounce: Renounce the lie out loud.

Replace: ask the Holy Spirit to tell you the truth (fact).

Receive: allow it to be written on your heart.  

Fill: Then, if there was an emotional need that wasn’t met, such as love or attention, forgive first, then release  (use the God-tool of releasing) demands on people, and receive filling from the Holy Spirit.

Sounds like a wonderful book that will help many. I read a quote the other day that said "unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." So true! If we want to be forgiven, we must forgive, but it surely is not easy. God has grace.

Dear Aunt Hazel, thank you for the steps you have written.
There is a lot of hurt and unforgiveness even with those around us. Prayerfully applying these steps should help.
God Bless
