Common Questions & Concerns

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Healing Prayer?

Healing Prayer is a prayer ministry designed to help people encounter God’s love, truth, freedom, and healing. Through prayer and listening to the Holy Spirit, we invite God to bring healing to emotional wounds, spiritual struggles, unhealthy patterns, and areas where people may feel stuck.

Our goal is not to counsel people or give advice, but to help them connect with God and experience His presence and transforming grace.

Is Healing Prayer biblical?

Yes. Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as a healer of both body and soul.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
— Psalm 147:3

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
— Luke 4:18-19

“For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the LORD.”
— Jeremiah 30:1

“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”
— Acts 10:38

Jesus frequently ministered healing, freedom, and restoration to those who came to Him, and He commissioned His followers to continue His ministry.

Healing Prayer seeks to follow the example of Jesus by creating space for people to hear from God and receive His healing work.

How is Healing Prayer different from counseling?

Counseling often focuses on understanding problems, developing skills, and processing life experiences over time.

Healing Prayer focuses on inviting Jesus into specific areas of pain, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance, and helping people receive God’s truth, healing, and freedom.

Healing Prayer is not a replacement for professional counseling, medical care, or pastoral oversight. Many people benefit from Healing Prayer alongside these other resources.

What happens during a Healing Prayer session?

Every session is unique, but generally we:

  • Begin with prayer.
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to guide the session.
  • Discover how woundings from one’s biological father, mother, siblings and friends can negatively affect our relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 
  • Pray through wounds, lies, fears, unforgiveness, oppression or other areas of struggle. 

Sessions are conversational, gentle, and focused on following the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Will I be required to share deeply personal information?

No.

You are always free to share only what you are comfortable sharing. We do not pressure anyone to disclose details they do not wish to discuss.

We trust the Holy Spirit to guide the process.

What kinds of issues can Healing Prayer address?

People seek Healing Prayer for many reasons, including:

  • Anxiety and fear
  • Past hurts and emotional wounds
  • Demonic oppression
  • Relationship struggles
  • Unforgiveness
  • Shame and guilt
  • Spiritual discouragement
  • Difficulty hearing God’s voice
  • Recurring negative patterns
  • Feeling stuck in life or faith
Does Healing Prayer include deliverance ministry?

This is entirely dependent upon the person receiving prayer. If someone mentions to the prayer team that they would like prayer for demonic oppression, the team will pursue prayers for deliverance.  The team will never pray for deliverance unless the individual themselves desires it.

Will someone tell me what God is saying to me?

Our team seeks to listen to the Holy Spirit, but our goal is centered around helping the person receiving prayer to hear God’s voice.

Towards the end of the session, if any of the team members have a prophetic word or picture they will share it.

Do you believe everyone will be healed?

We believe God heals and that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

At the same time, we recognize that healing often unfolds differently than we expect. Our role is to pray faithfully, trust God, and leave the results in His hands. We seek God’s presence more than a particular outcome.

Is there a cost for a Healing Prayer session?

There is no charge for receiving prayer. If people would like to support the ministry financially, they may do so, but prayer is freely offered.

“Freely you have received; freely give.”
— Matthew 10:8

Is what I share confidential?

Yes.

Everything shared during a Healing Prayer session is treated with care and confidentiality, except in situations where disclosure is required by law or where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.

Who will pray with me?

Healing Prayer sessions are conducted by trained prayer ministers who desire to serve with humility, compassion, and biblical integrity.

Typically, two prayer ministers will be present during a session.

How long is a session?

Most sessions last around 90 minutes, though times may vary depending on the person’s needs and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

How do I prepare for a session?

Before your session:

  • Spend some time in prayer.
  • Fast as you feel led.
  • Ask the Lord what He may want to address.
  • Come with an open heart.
  • Trust that Jesus loves you and desires your good.

To help people encounter Jesus, hear His voice, experience freedom and the healing love of God.

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted…”
— Isaiah 61:1

Common Concerns

Is Healing Prayer biblical?

Yes.

We believe God still speaks, heals, restores, and transforms lives today. Healing Prayer is rooted in biblical principles such as prayer, listening to the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, repentance, the renewing of the mind, and the healing ministry of Jesus.

Healing Prayer is not based on a single method or formula. Rather, it is a prayerful process of inviting Jesus into areas where healing and freedom are needed.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
— Psalm 147:3

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me… He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted.”
— Isaiah 61:1

Is Healing Prayer the same as Sozo Ministry?

Healing Prayer and Sozo Ministry share some similarities in that both seek to help people connect with God, hear His voice, and experience freedom and healing.

However, our ministry is not affiliated with Sozo Ministry, nor do we follow their particular prayer model. We simply seek to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, remain grounded in Scripture, and help people encounter God personally.

Every session is unique because every person and their story is unique.

Do you believe God still speaks today?

Yes.

We believe God speaks through Scripture, prayer, the Holy Spirit, godly counsel, and other biblically consistent ways.

At the same time, we recognize that all impressions, thoughts, and spiritual experiences should be tested and weighed according to Scripture.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
— John 10:27

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27

Is Healing Prayer based on psychology?

No.

Healing Prayer is a prayer ministry, not a psychological technique. While emotional healing often does occur, our primary focus is helping people encounter Jesus and receive what He wants to do in their lives.

We are not licensed counselors unless specifically stated otherwise.

Is this counseling?

No.

Healing Prayer is not professional counseling, psychotherapy, or mental health treatment.

Many people benefit from both counseling and Healing Prayer. We gladly encourage individuals to seek professional help when appropriate.

Is this deliverance ministry?

Healing Prayer does include deliverance ministry.

Throughout scripture we see both Jesus and his disciples bringing freedom to people oppressed by demonic forces.  The good news is that there is still freedom today through the power of the Holy Spirit. 

God has 100% freedom for all who come to him. We don’t have to wait for heaven to be free.

Will someone tell me what is wrong with me?

No.

We are not here to diagnose, label, or analyze you.

We believe the Holy Spirit is the true Counselor. Our role is to listen, pray, and help create space for you to hear from God and receive His healing.

Will someone try to control me or tell me what decisions to make?

Absolutely not.

We believe every believer can hear from God and should grow in their own relationship with Him.

Our prayer ministers do not make life decisions for people, tell people whom to marry, where to live, or what major choices to make.

We seek to encourage people to hear God’s voice for themselves.

What if I don’t hear anything from God during my session?

That’s okay.  Our prayer ministers will gently help you with hearing God’s voice. You will not feel any pressure from the team.

Some people receive clear impressions, pictures, Scriptures, or insights. Others simply experience peace, comfort, or a deeper awareness of God’s presence.

The success of a Healing Prayer session is not measured by dramatic experiences. Our confidence is in God’s faithfulness, not in a particular outcome.

Will I be pressured to share painful memories?

No.

You remain in control of what you choose to share.

We never force people to revisit painful experiences. We simply invite Jesus into whatever areas the Holy Spirit highlights and trust Him to lead the process.

Is Healing Prayer emotionally manipulative?

No.

We strive to create a safe, respectful environment where people are free to participate at their own comfort level.

We do not use pressure, hype, coercion, or emotional manipulation. We seek to follow the example of Jesus, who was both gentle and truthful.

What if I become emotional during a session?

That is perfectly okay.

Sometimes people laugh, cry, sit quietly, or experience strong emotions as God touches areas of their heart.

Emotions are not the goal, but neither are they something to fear. We simply allow people to respond honestly to what God may be doing.

Do you guarantee healing?

No.

Only God brings true healing.

We believe God heals and restores lives, but we do not make promises about specific outcomes. Our responsibility is to pray, listen, and trust God with the results.

What if I have questions about the experience afterward?

We encourage questions.

We want people to process their experiences thoughtfully and biblically. If something is unclear, we are happy to discuss it and help discern what God may have been doing during the session.

How do you ensure biblical accountability?

We are committed to:

· The authority of Scripture

· The centrality of Jesus Christ

· Dependence upon the Holy Spirit

· Humility and teachability

· Prayer ministry conducted in teams

· Pastoral oversight and accountability

· Honoring the dignity and freedom of every person

We believe every spiritual experience should ultimately point people toward Jesus and align with the truth of God’s Word.

What if I’m skeptical?

That’s okay too.

Many people come with questions, doubts, or uncertainty. We welcome honest seekers and do not expect anyone to leave their discernment at the door.

Our invitation is simple:

Come with an open heart, bring your questions, and allow Jesus to meet you where you are.

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.”
— Psalm 34:8

We believe Jesus still heals broken hearts, restores hope, reveals truth, and draws people into deeper relationship with Himself. Our desire is simply to partner with what He is already doing in people’s lives and create space for His presence to bring healing and freedom.
