How to Restore Damaged Hearts

Out of the heart flow the issues of life. The health of your "inner man" affects the health of your "outer man." Discover how to heal the wounds in your heart which are damaging the health of your body. An excellent precursor to this approach is “Prayers That Heal the Heart” book, CD/DVD set and Seminar Guide. This is an open discussion community for people seeking healing, of their spirits, souls and bodies.
Testimony by Mark Virkler: I asked God to heal the arthritis I had in my fingers and knee, and when I journaled about it, He told me I needed to forgive some people who had hurt me. It required inner healing prayer for me to completely forgive them (taught in our book "Prayers That Heal the Heart"), but within 24 hours of that inner healing prayer, at least 50% of the pain in my fingers and knee was gone and within a week it was all gone. So now I ask God if there are any spiritual roots to any infirmities I may experience, and if so, how He wants me to deal with them.

Faith, hope and Love (1 Cor. 13:13) is the fuel we are designed to run on. Living "tanked up" on these godly attitudes promotes a healthy soul, which in turn promotes a healthy body. This is an open discussion community for people seeking healing for their souls (overcoming fear, doubt, unbelief, accusation, condemnation, rejection, etc). An excellent precursor for this healing is the “Counseled by God” book, workbook and CD/DVD set.
My testimony is that I battled accusative and condemning thoughts about myself almost all the time. Then when journaling one day, the Lord spoke to me about the "Accuser" versus the "Comforter", and showed me that the voice of accusation within my head was actually coming from satan (through his demons), and that I needed to renounce these spontaneous negative thoughts and ask God for the "positive" rhemas (spontaneous thoughts) He would have me meditate upon instead. In my daily journaling God spoke to me of His love for me and how He viewed me. I chose to meditate upon His words within me, rather than satan's words, and my emotional life was powerfully improved.

Dr. Virkler,

Thank you so much for your candid, heartfelt accounts and observations of those trying times in your life. I can relate to quite a few of them. I just completed this course, and know that a great work has begun in healing my heart. I praise God for what He is doing through all this.

Blessings,
Lynda

I took this class a little over a year ago and I can say that it was a workshop for my life at the time I was taking it. I was able to understand what areas of my life needed to be healed. I was born in a part of Africa where witchcraft and sorcery were quite common. So the Lord revealed to me generation curses that needed to be broken. The Holy Spirit truly used this course to heal me and continue to use it to
deliver me from other bondages in my life.

I wish I could afford this course, but I wanted to say that God healed me of a 13 year long, torturous plague of fibromyalgia all in one day when I heard a sermon where this lady got rheumatoid arthritis overnight and the dr. said, "Ma'am, what''s been going on with you lately?" She replied, "Well! My husband dumped me for a younger woman and I just decided I was not going to forgive him!" A light bulb went on and I remember 13 years earlier when I was a waitress and my bf dumped me for another woman and this came on me overnight all over my body. From there, I had my list, and when I went back and asked Jesus to help me open the painful box of the past that I couldn't bare to open alone, He did, and I asked someone to forgive me for my part of the dissolution of the relationship, received forgiveness and I was healed in one day. In Matthew 18, it says if we don't forgive from the heart, the Heavenly Father will turn us over to the torturers, tormentors, or the jailers, whichever version you're reading in which just about covers the mind, the body, and consequences of unforgiveness, for if we hate in our heart, we are guilty of murder, Jesus says. It tries to come back when I have issues I need to deal with and I'm like, "No, I'm not taking you back, and I'm getting before God and dealing with this now!"

Hello,
I am new to the Koinonia Network. I am interested in learning more about the "Prayers that Heal the Heart" classes and/or book. I was curious to know how others received healing from these resources. I am interested in the process for myself as well.
Thanks,
Lorrie

Thank you all for your comments and sharing your testimonies. I am very interested in the course. Is it offered possibly in my area (Virginia Beach, VA) or is there one main center to go to? Or can I get the book and do the process on my own? I feel that this is the solution to some of my problem areas.
Thanks,
Lorrie
