Individual 2-hr Prayer Session
Painting with God

IHF Individual Prayer Session


An Inner Healing and Freedom Ministry session is a 2-hour individual, confidential prayer session in which you encounter the Lord in an intimate, healing way.  The session is led by an Encounter School of Ministry trained facilitator and an intercessor.  You are invited to ask the Lord to gently reveal areas where He would like to give you more freedom.  Guided by the Holy Spirit, we pray for the removal of barriers that may be blocking your relationships with God, yourself and others.  Jesus provides you with the opportunity to see yourself and others through His eyes of love.

Testimonies from previous IHF participants:
  • I truly met Jesus and was able to release inner pain, that I had been carrying for a long time. I have a peace that I have been longing for and a new and clear path to follow.
  • I was blown away how the Holy Spirit led me to areas in my past that I didn't realize I needed healing from. My understanding of how much God loves me was multiplied beyond words.  ​
  • Burdens are lifted off my shoulders!  
  • At the end of the session there was no pain, just abundant love in my heart. The presence of the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit was awesome!  I had to live it myself to believe that it’s real.
  • This prayerful session was truly grace-filled. The pace especially was the Holy Spirit’s guidance and revelation. In God’s time, He opened the door to unlock the lies I had about myself and my relationship with the Lord.   I feel Jesus is closer and I know the Holy Spirit is continuing to reveal more clearly what I am to do.  I am so grateful and blessed by all your prayers and love.  Thank you so much!

Painting with God


The Greek word “SOZO” describes, the many ways in which Jesus heals us. SOZO means to save, to deliver, to protect, to heal, to preserve, TO MAKE WHOLE.
 
Through the activity of simplified painting in a guided, reflective, 3-hour group process, you are invited to connect your emotions to the heart of God. Through this process, the Holy Spirit has the opportunity to bring freedom and healing.  After each of the painting activities, there is an opportunity to briefly share your reflections with the group.
 
This simple act of painting with Q tips and sponges helps to bypass roadblocks and allow God's truth to shine through on canvas and speak deeply into our hearts.
 
No artistic experience is required.
The cost for materials is $25. All supplies are provided.

Testimonies from previous Painting with God participants:
  • The questions are well thought out and really make you look inside yourself and listen – this is so needed in a world of noise.  I often listen to others tell me what God has said, but today I stopped to hear what He was saying to me.  Thank you!
  • I was open to something new and unknown.  People, nature, music ,and viewing art speak to me of God, but doing the art myself is new for me.  I had to wait and listen as the feelings, thoughts, and messages developed throughout each exercise.  I could honestly consider life and relationships and think about what God wanted to reveal. It feels like only the beginning of exploring this technique.
  • I found this exercise very freeing.  I also felt vulnerable and supported.  Oddly, what I found cathartic was the lack of feedback from others.  It allowed me to stay in the feelings rather than the thoughts.
  •  This was an opportunity to express myself and my feelings with colour and spontaneous symbolism and images, with God as the central lead with what was created. 
  •  I really enjoyed this truly personal experience.
  •  This has been a very good experience.  I could truly connect my emotions and go deeper into my relationship with God and change my own understanding of myself as God sees me.
