Section 1: PERSONAL LIFE SHAPING PROGRAM
The Life-Shaping Prayer Method
BY
It is intended for your PERSONAL USE ONLY.
FOLLOWING IS HOW THE METHOD WORKS:
1. You have an ongoing “issue” come up that you need to understand or you need an answer as to why it continues to be problematic.
2. The next step:
Opening Prayer:
Jesus, I give you the freedom and liberty to bring Truth and Healing to these areas of my life that I need answers to today.
Declaration:
I bind any demonic influence in my life and ask the True Lord Jesus to deal directly with any such influence.
Now, Jesus I thank you for what you are going to do in my life today.
AMEN.
(This Declaration is based on the authority given to you by Jesus to refuse the works of the Devil in your life. “True Love Revealed” has endeavoured to show you a clear distinction between what God desires for you and what the Devil and his oppressive system want for you.)
3. Speak out the issue-question and turn the issue-question into an emotion.
HOW DOES THAT EMOTION MAKE YOU FEEL?.... SAD, ANGRY, A FAILURE, CONFUSED, DISAPPOINTED, ETC.
(FOR INSTANCE, YOUR ISSUE IS THAT YOU DREAD SOCIAL SETTINGS EVEN THOUGH THESE COULD ENHANCE YOUR BUSINESS/SOCIAL LIFE. THIS MAKES YOU FEEL INFERIOR, EMBARRASSED AND SUBSEQUENTLY ANGRY BECAUSE OF MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.)
4. Ask Jesus to show you where or when that emotion first began.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE EMOTIONS AND WOUNDED FEELINGS ACCUMULATE AND BECOME LIKE WEEDS THAT GROW VERY RAPIDLY. YOU MUST FIND OUT WHERE THE ROOT BEGAN IN ORDER TO GET TRULY FREE.
5. Once Jesus has shown you where it first began.
ESTABLISH WHAT AGE YOU WERE.
(MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THE AGE WILL BE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG; HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.)
6. You may experience the memory of an event, colors, smells, or a combination as Jesus builds a scenario for your healing.
7. Do not hurry. Be aware that the TRUTH concerning the reasons for the emotional situation may come to you at any time during the session.
8. One of the first things you may experience is ANGER and that is OK! Jesus is dealing with things that need to be released and flushed out.
9. Allow Jesus to take ALL of those emotions/feelings from you and replace them with His truth. His truth may differ greatly from what you have believed.
10. Once you know where the emotion-issues began, see (picture) yourself releasing the hurts, pains, rejections, disappointments and failures, whatever they are. See yourself hand them over to Jesus, one at a time and name them, "Jesus I give you xxxxxx"
THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN HEALING MOMENTS AND IT IS VITAL TO BECOMING FREE! TAKE TIME!
11. Allow Jesus time to bring all of those areas that have been locked in time that HAD BEEN carrying all the pain and misconceptions to the PRESENT YOU. Allow Him time to do it!
REMEMBER, IT PROBABLY WILL BE EARLY YEARS OF YOUR LIFE THAT HAVE CARRIED THE PAIN, BURDEN, GUILT, ETC., BUT ALSO REMEMBER THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.
12. Now that you know the real TRUTH about the areas and questions that have caused you distress, you can encourage yourself by saying such things as, “Things are better now.”
USE YOUR NAME OR NICKNAME AS IF SPEAKING TO A THIRD PERSON. THOSE PARTS OF YOU WILL BE SO RELIEVED TO HEAR AND FEEL THE TRUTH!
13. A major battle just took place! You and Jesus WON.
EVEN IF YOU DON’T FEEL IT RIGHT NOW, IT HAPPENED!
14. The final step:
Closing Prayer:
Thank you Jesus for the work you have done in my life today. I ask you to continue the work in the days and months ahead.
Amen
