Inner Healing Course

This is the second of our foundational course material. We would really ask you to seriously consider working through the Soul Care School before you continue with this course to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the basic principles that we will once again utilize.
Please read:  How to apply ministry material from Kanaan Ministries if you have not already done so. 

Emotional wounds and spiritual abuse

People often quote 2 Cor 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away, behold, all things have become new”, creating the idea that once a person has accepted Christ as personal Saviour, the past is gone, all things have become new.

According to this teaching, we are not to look back but force our way ahead in our new life in Christ, just as if the past hadn’t happened at all. “Nothing from the past can affect our present lives”, they say “for Jesus took care of all of it at conversion”.

The Lie

The reality we cannot ignore is that research has shown that at least forty percent of the women, plus a fair percentage of the men would have experienced some kind of abuse (physical or sexual) early in life. These believers continue to feel guilty and spiritually condemned because they don’t experience the victory that this false message creates.

The Truth

Many believers are still prisoners of war in the conflict between God and Satan, through no fault of their own. They have survived the abuse but they still live with the pain of the memories. The misinterpretation of the Word set out above causes these precious believers to feel that they are being subjected to further spiritual abuse.

The difference between wounds and sin

Sin and woundedness are caused by different circumstances or events and therefore need different remedies. Sin is personal as it is the action resulting from an individual’s freedom of choice. Others inflicted wounds apart from our choice.

Isaiah 53:6 “All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all.”

Sin is an act of "self-affliction" while a wound is "inflicted by others". We did not choose to be hurt, rejected or violated nevertheless the wound is present. Sinful acts of committed against others result in a state of emotional woundedness that remains until healing has come.

There is nothing in our power we can do to overcome, put away, or deal with either of these two conditions, as both require a divine intervention. Sin must be dealt with through death.

The cure for sin through the death of Yeshua / Jesus, healing comes from the touch of a risen Lord. You do not get healing from sin; you go to the cross of Yeshua / Jesus with confession and repentance.

In this course you will also be studying the following subjects:

The Importance of Christian Counselling in the Christian Community

You will learn why is it important to have proper discipline and counselling and learn to identify the “symptoms” of someone who does not have any discipline. We show you where Jesus reveals His counselling abilities and characteristics.

You will learn that man is a physical, spiritual and thinking Being and that every action of man has a consequence. God has created us with emotions; some emotions are unhealthy and can be described as God’s warning system. You will learn how to diagnose emotional problems.

Healed and Whole

We have been created for relationships.

  • You will learn how to determine the state of your relationships.
  • Bruises are the result of traumatic experiences that can come from the following: Broken Parent Relationships, Rejection, Unfair Treatment, Spoken Words, Inner Vows, Abuse, and Violence. Emotional scars form sensitive areas in our lives that cause us to react “out of character”.
  • Strongholds/lies that affect us usually have their origin in our childhood. You will see how demonic Influence can also cause strongholds.
  • The Bible tells us to “pull down” the strongholds in our lives – those things that “exalt themselves against the knowledge of God”. You will learn why this is so important if we are to walk in a loving and intimate relationship with our Father.

The Separation of Man from God

God is a God of relationships. Man’s problems from the beginning of time are due to a broken relationship with God, carried over into broken relationships with others. God did not break the relationship – man did. But the wonderful news is that God has given us His All to help us restore our relationship with Him.

Separation One from Another

Broken relationships cause problems that can only be overcome through restored relationships. Your true character and your level of wholeness is revealed in your relationships.

Healing of Bitterness

Bitterness is probably one of the most common causes for broken relationships and can only be healed through the spiritual principles of love and forgiveness.

Healing of Rejection

Today man has lost his Identity

Homosexuality is a common “fruit” of rejection and loss of identity. Every child has a vacuum in his heart that can only be filled through love and acceptance by his parents. God can turn rejection around and use it in our lives as a special tool to raise up end-time leaders for His Kingdom!

Healing of Pride

Pride generally hides rejection in our lives. You will learn what the foundation of pride is, how to identify this problem in our lives, and how to deal with this root.

Healing of Rebellion

Rebellion is an addictive process. You do not need other people; you want to be left alone to do you own thing and while you think you are independent, the reality is that you are bound by your own instability. Rebellion binds you to your own fleshly desires.

Healing of Sexual Abuse

We help you to identify the symptoms of sexual abuse in Pre-school and Primary School children, Adolescence, and adults.

Healing through the Holy Spirit

Some memories are so painful to recall that the conscious mind blocks them. The Holy Spirit will reveal these deep hurts and you can receive inner healing. You will declare that the Holy Spirit is our “Counsellor”.

The Building of Relationships

Man is created in the image of God. God is a God of Communication, Fellowship and Love.

People were not created to live alone. God pre-determined that every need should be met within the family unit. You will learn how the enemy isolates us and prevents us from being able to reach spiritual maturity.

Often in our relationships, our emotions “get in the way” and results in a misunderstanding or a break in communication.

Parents are the best role models for children; you are taught how to teach your children to deal with anger in a positive and constructive manner.
