Heart Trek Ministry

A method of inner healing and deliverance developed over years of experience.

Gentle, loving and integrated with our Core Values.

We seek to facilitate God as the counselor, the recipient as the “reporter” as they hear, see and sense what God is doing, and what’s going on in their heart.

We will also teach you strategies that you can continue to use to develop greater intimacy with God and inner connectivity with your own heart. As you increasingly become more self-aware of your inner life with God, you will learn how to “keep your garden” flourishing with His help.

The Ministry Of Jesus: By the Spiritto bring Healing

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;.“ Luke 4:18

Inner Healing, Deliverance and Maturity:

Inner Healing vs. Deliverance: How they relate…which is which?

Inner Healing vs. Maturity: Where do we need to have our heart healed, and where do we need to make decisions to accept responsibility for our behavior. Ex. Blaming, gossiping or engaging in self pity is a choice, not a wound.

8

Inner Healing: Primary Focus in Heart Trek

Dealing with traumatic memories and ungodly messages, and healing the consequent belief systems

How to release walled off parts of our hearts and become whole people

9

Inner Healing and Deliverance

Inner Healing deals with the root Heart wounds that lead to unforgiveness, vows, dysfunctional decisions

Deliverance addresses the demonic attachment that results as a consequence of the heart wounds

10

Heart wounding occurs one lie, one judgment, one decision to withhold forgiveness at a time.

Inner healing deals with the “nest” or stronghold deliverance with the

demonic “egg” that is laid in it.

Inner Healing is Essential in order to keep the house of our

soul free of torment

Matthew 12:43-45: “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, it roams through dry places in search of rest, but it does not find any. Then it says, I will go back to my house from which I came out.

13

Inner Healing is Essential in order to keep the house of our

soul free of torment

Matthew 12:43-45: “And when it arrives it finds the place unoccupied, swept, put in order and decorated. Then it goes and brings 7 other spirits more wicked and they go and make their home there.”

14

To get rid of the demonic presence, we seek to deal first with the primary root, until the “nest” is dismantled.

The invader then must leave!

Strongholds: Hiding places for lies, unhealthy belief systems, and demons

For the weapons of our warfare are not

physical weapons of flesh and blood, but

are mighty in God for the tearing down of

strongholds. 2 Cor 10:4

God’s Seed & the Soil of Our Hearts

Inner wounds and destructive assumptions can cause the soil of our hearts to become hard and stony.

Maturity

Salvation is a Decision that takes place in a moment; Maturity and Intimacy are fruit that are developed over time and experience in relationship, with God and others.

19

Maturity

“Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God-what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.” Rom. 12: 2

20

Maturity

The state of being mentally and emotionally well-developed, and therefore willing to accept responsibility for your own decisions and actions. Willing to remain engaged in relationship and work things out; choosing self-awareness, forgiveness and process.

21

23

Steps to Develop Maturity

advice; listen to understand. Learn to give, unconditionally without

expecting reward.

24

Instantaneous and Process

We accept Jesus as our Savior in a moments time at Salvation;

We learn to make Him our Lord and King over a lifetime.

25

Why do we get wounded?

We are created by God to have needs.

It is the heart of our Heavenly Father to meet those needs

We are born helpless and vulnerable - dependent on mom and dad.

Trying So HardTrying to meet our own needs in ways that are independent from God often means that we

accidently or knowingly

end up hurting ourselves

and others.

We have Normal “Felt” Needs

Safe and Protected - from physical harm and emotional abuse. We put up internal walls to feel safe.

Identity and Belonging - to feel significant and valued, to know how we fit in. When our sense of identity and belonging is damaged - we make assumptions about ourselves and our world

These Two Kinds of Needs

The root of our wounds always relate to these two kinds of needs.

When we don’t feel safe and protected; we often put up interior walls

When our sense of identity and belonging is damaged - we make assumptions or listen to lies about ourselves and our world

Belong

The Key of Forgiveness

It is a foundational dynamic of God’s Kingdom. Lord’s Prayer: Forgive us our sins, Lord, as we forgive those who sin against us.

Forgiveness

Holding on to unforgiveness keeps us tormented (Matthew 18:21-35)

In forgiving, we choose to live by grace.

Unforgiveness

33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. 35 “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” Matt 18:33-35

Forgiveness in Ministry

Is NOT excusing the offender, nor is it minimizing the damage.

It is facing and acknowledging the depth of the damage and pain from an action or situation.

Does NOT mean you have to trust or have an ongoing relationship with the person who hurt you.

Forgiveness = Releasing It is releasing yourself from holding resentment

and the unfairness of what happened to you. It is releasing the person

responsible for hurting you from your right to punish them.

It is acknowledging God is the judge, not you, and He will give you justice as only He can.

Encouraging Forgiveness

We do not coerce or demand that people forgive – it must be from their heart.

When the person is unable/unwilling to forgive something “big”, we often invite them to find a “smaller” or more specific offense to forgive. This often opens the door to forgive the “bigger” things.

Forgiveness Often Needs to Go Deeper

If God brings it up – He is inviting the person to reach a deeper level of forgiveness. Forgiving from the heart is much different than forgiving from our mind.

Process: 1. Tell the story. 2. Name the specific issue. 3. Choose to forgive; be honest as to whether you’re ready or not. 4. Decide whether reconciliation, and how much, can occur.

Forgiveness – Central Key

Forgiveness is almost always a central key for unlocking the prison door and watching

Jesus set the captives free.

Spirit, Soul and Body are being Sanctified

And may the God of peace HImself sanctify you

through and through and may your spirit and soul and

body be preserved sound and complete, blameless at

the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thes 5:23

Blessing Your Spirit: Arthur Burk

• Your Spirit: Has access to Heavenly realms in communion with Holy Spirit

• Able to receive truth• Understand, will and feel• Present since Conception• Can be Strengthened and Instructed• Is to be in authority over the soul and

body

Blessing Your Spirit

• Our Spirits can receive legitimacy directly from God. Romans 8:16: when we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

Our spirits are present with us, intact since conception

• Luke 1:41: When Elizabeth heard Marys greeting, the baby (John) leaped within her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

• Soul vs. Spirit:

• Who’s in charge?

Our spirits can be strengthened and instructed, and are to be in

authority over the soul and body.

• He who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap decay, but he who sows to the spirit will from the spirit reap eternal life. Gal. 6:8

• For what person perceives what passes through a mans thoughts except the mans own spirit within him? 1 Cor 2:11

What we do:

• Call the Spirit to Attention; come to the forefront

• Ask the soul to rest, step aside• Speak the truth of scripture, encourage,

strengthen, build up• We DO NOT tell the spirit what to do; we

tell the spirit the possibilities

Emmanuel Process:

Intentionally helping the person get more connected, spirit to spirit, so the spirit can lead. Helps them get out of their “head”and into the spirit.

Emmanuel Process:

Helps them stay more present in the ministry process so they can handle looking at their pain with more resiliency.

Emmanuel Process:

First, ask Holy Spirit to remind them of a time when they connected to God. Have them talk about it for a while.

Emmanuel Process:

Encourage them to verbalize gratitude for the goodness of God, Who He has been for them, how He has revealed Himself and shown His faithfulness.

Listening Prayer

Listening Prayer: He loves us and wants to talk about it!

Like Jesus, we seek to do what we see (sense, hear) the Father is doing. John

5:19

We want to do what the Father is doing in Heart Trek

Ministry team job is to help recipient with hearing/seeing/sensing

Best if they see for themselves, direct from the source

No religious cliches or scripture!

Jesus is the best counselor!

Our goal in a Heart Trek is to be the “Tour Guide”, show you your options, and let you decide what to

do with that information.

It is the Kindness of God that brings us to repentance

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters... The

voice of the Lord is powerful ...the voice of the Lord is full of majesty...The

voice of the Lord breaks the cedars.....Psalm 29 AMP

Listening Prayer:Expect answers!

• Joining our spirits together amplifies hearing

• If they hear for themselves, they will take that home with them, and continue going!

Listening Prayer: Expect Answers!

• Avoid closed-ended or yes/no questions, like: do, did, will, would etc.

• These tend to put the person under pressure to give the “right” answer.

Listening Prayer: Expect Answers!

Using Open-ended Questions and asking about heart issues: Causes us to open our heart up to be influenced; relational.Examples: Why, When, Where, What, Who, Show me, Take me...
