Healing prayer ministry is allowing God's love and mercy to bring healing to the whole person. Often there are obstacles to greater intimacy with the Father, and in personal relationships. Prayer ministry helps identify these obstacles, such as guilt, fear, a sense of unworthiness, unbelief, addictive behaviors, old resentments and unforgiveness. Through the power of God's Word and his love, these obstacles are overcome and removed. Individuals experience new freedom, peace, joy, and ability to love and be loved!

Who is it for? Anyone who desires to draw closer to God and experience more of his love and power in their lives. Those who want to choose to be free and walk in the light of God's love and presence.

What happens there? Individuals receive prayer from trained prayer ministers who are used by the Lord to bring his compassion and love which comforts the brokenhearted and heals the diseases of the soul and spirit. Physical healing may occur as well.

When and where does it meet? Prayer ministry opportunities are available by appointment Tuesday through Friday, 9:00AM until 2:00PM, at the Christian Healing Center located at 1002 Coast Highway which is to the far west of St. Anne's property.

Spiritual Direction is part of the three-fold ministry package that the Christian Healing Center offers. Since the dawn of the Christian faith, spiritually hungry individuals have been finding the answer to these longings in the tradition of "spiritual direction." To explain how the CHC views this ministry, we turn to the words of Henri Nouwen from his book Reaching Out:

"How do we know that we are not deluding ourselves, that we are not selecting those words that best fit our passions, that we are not just listening to the voice of our own imagination? Who can determine if feelings and insights are leading in the right direction?

Our God is greater than our own heart and mind, and too easily we are tempted to make our heart's desires and our mind's speculations into the will of God. Therefore, we need a guide, a director, a counselor who helps us to distinguish between the voice of God and all other voices coming from our own confusion or from dark powers far beyond our control.

We need someone who encourages us when we are tempted to give it all up, to forget it all, to just walk away in despair. We need someone who discourages us when we move too rashly in unclear directions or hurry proudly to a nebulous goal. We need someone who can suggest to us when to read and when to be silent, which words to reflect upon and what to do when silence creates much fear and little peace."

If those words resonate in you heart of hearts, call the CHC for an appointment with a Spiritual Director at 760-966-2956.
