Experience Joy Through Immanuel Prayer

Immanuel Prayer offers a unique approach to emotional healing and spiritual wholeness.  The goal is to strengthen your friendship with God and experience His joy over you... to discover that He's not mad at you nor disappointed in you, and He's not offended or threatened if you're mad at Him, but instead fully understands how hard life is for you. He wants to show you, through His kindness and compassion, that He sees your suffering; He hears the pain in your silence and in your screams; He is glad to be with you in any intensity of any emotion, and in any experience (good or bad). His emotional capacity is so huge that His very own sacrifice for you, His life in you, and His delight over you, cancels out the sin in you.  And He has a plan to redeem it all. This serves as the foundation for your journey into a sustainable, more joyfully bonded relationship with Him and others.

What Is Immanuel Prayer?

HEART-FOCUSED DISCIPLESHIP

Immanuel Prayer for inner healing starts with the truth that God is always with us, always wants to connect with us, and always wants to give us all the benefits that come with interacting with him: things like joy, peace, healing, and satisfying life. So, at a basic level, Immanuel prayer is a method of learning to relate to Jesus this way. 

DEVELOPS JOY BONDS AND EMOTIONAL CAPACITY

Immanuel prayer is a simple model of heart healing led by Jesus (who represents the Father through Holy Spirit), with a trained guide who coaches recipients through the process of connecting with Him and experiencing His living presence in real time. The goal is to build and deepen a bonded relationship with Jesus that truly feels safe and joyful, one that increases our awareness of His care and protection, even in difficult life situations or painful experiences.

REDUCES FEAR BONDS, REMOVES BARRIERS TO INTIMACY WITH GOD AND OTHERS

The prayer process may bring up things that keep us from experiencing that vibrant, joyful, safe relationship with Him. These can be certain thoughts and emotions rooted in wounds to our heart that we aren't even aware of, but still we feel like there's something in the way of being able to live confidently and joyfully connected to the Lord.

LEADS TO PEACE AND GODLY CHARACTER

Through the Immanuel Prayer process, the Lord can tenderly, gently meet us in those places and care for us in the most complete way that only He can. Sometimes He brings these areas to our conscious awareness, and sometimes He chooses to bring His Shalom peace without our conscious knowing. But over time we come to realize that we actually trigger less and feel more like our true self on a daily basis.

GENTLE AND SAFE

The beauty of this type of healing prayer is that the Lord is the one who decides which areas to work on, at what degree, and at what pace. As our Creator and Sustainer, He is truly the only one who knows our capacity levels for dealing with each area, and He guides us accordingly. He may choose to remove a particular hindrance in one session, bringing immediately relief. Or He may choose to work on an area over a period of time in order to grow our emotional capacity.

FOCUSES ON JOY & CONNECTION AS A MEANS TO RESOLVING TRAUMA

Neither pain nor trauma is revisited unless we feel totally safe in His Presence and He specifically directs us to a place of pain. The focus is on staying safely connected to Him, especially while experiencing painful emotions or memories. Inviting the Lord into your positive and painful experiences can lead to resolution in impactful ways, and you may find that you have increased emotional capacity for dealing with stressful situations.

We begin each prayer session by inviting God to bring to mind a time when you felt great joy, or peace, and you are given this safe space to experience it again. Then I coach you to invite God into the positive memory and to notice when you sense His presence and what it's like to perceive Him. The Lord gently leads and guides you, ministering to the deeply hurt places in your heart that need healing without it feeling traumatic. Every session ends by guiding you back to how you experienced Jesus in your positive memory, and you are able to leave feeling restored and hopeful.

COMBINES SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES WITH BRAIN SCIENCE PRINCIPLES

The Immanuel prayer process was birthed through the ministries of Christian psychiatrist Dr. Karl Lehman M.D. and psychologist/theologian Dr. James Wilder Ph.D. and involves how the brain processes both trauma and relationship in our memories. Trauma is defined as any painful experience that has not been successfully processed and often occurs when you have felt alone in your painful experiences. We begin by connecting with God's presence in a positive memory rather than in the pain so as to grow the endurance to adequately process the presenting pain and understand its redemptive meaning.

SHAPES IDENTITY AND CREATES BELONGING 

The goal is to develop a joyful connection with the Lord that can become a lifestyle of practicing His presence daily. This results in an increasingly confident friendship with Him, improving resilience and the ability to recover more quickly from distress and challenging life circumstances.

Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.
