Click here to request our Newsletters
Dear Friend,
This month I would like to ask you to pray for a very important component of Healing Hearts Ministries, our on-line ministry. All three of the Healing Hearts Bible studies are on our web site and can be accessed free of charge by those who need our help all over the world. As of today, we have 121 individuals enrolled in a study, with Healing Hearts leaders walking alongside, providing biblical counsel, prayer and encouragement as they work through the study. Please pray for our leaders and clients who are involved in e-ministry. Please also pray for our web site in general, as it is a cornerstone of our ministry and doorway to hope for many people.
We literally receive hundreds of testimonies from people who have gone through one of our studies on-line. I can't share them all with you, but I would like to share a few.
John- Study: Wounded Warrior, Nov. 2009 - I was lost but now I am found. - That is how this study has impacted me. I thought of myself as a Christian but could not get past the thought that the Lord God could possibly be forgiving me for the same sins over and over. I felt that sins I committed before I was "saved" kind of didn't count. This study made me realize that God loves me and forgives me no matter what. What a relief. What a joy it was to remove this burden from my heart. God led me to this study. It was only through my own arrogance and pride that I thought I could not be forgiven. I have learned humility and the power or God's grace. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
Faith- Study: The Hem Of His Garment, 8-Jan. 2010 Every area of my life has been touched. - I cried out to Jesus that I want to change and be free and I shared with a friend from church that I needed a Bible study that dealt with difficult issues and that I needed people I could trust. My friend told me about this web site and recommended I go through the Hem Study. My past no longer hinders me... I was set FREE! When I realized ALL that Christ had done for me on Calvary's cross and took ownership of my sin without excuse... I fully received His Amazing GRACE and FORGIVENESS and I could feel His GREAT LOVE for me. Every area of my life has been touched by this mighty work of God! Thank you Jesus for hearing my cries and changing my life.... I love you Lord and pray that many others become FREE too. Please bless those who make this study possible and for all the counselors who pray for our healing.... thank you, thank you, thank you!
Debbie- Study: The Hem Of His Garment, 29-Dec. 2009 Glory to God. - I am so thankful for this scripture-rich Bible study and how God has used it so powerfully in my life. Places where I held deep hurt are now healed and restored. He forgave me where I had been blinded by my own sinful ways, which also brought healing and restoration. Over and over again through this study, Jesus allowed me to touch the hem of His garment, always being there within reach! My prayer is that I will continue to live out daily what I have learned in a way that will help others and bring much glory to God.
A. P. - Study: The Hem Of His Garment, 18-Dec. 2009 Known God for over 37 years. - I have known the Lord and walked with Him for over 37 years and yet I still struggled, holding on to pain I've had in my life. The Hem of His Garment let me look at that pain in light of God's Word. I saw areas that I needed to once again turn over to Him and areas where I still needed His healing touch. I received encouragement from my counselor as I walked through each lesson. While I did this study, the Holy Spirit confirmed truths I was learning in sermons at my church. I appreciated knowing the faithful prayers by my counselor as I did the study. I found her helpful and encouraging. I have already recommended this study to others and will continue to do so.
Brittany- Study: The Hem Of His Garment, 17-Dec. 2009 I am alive again. - This study has been foundational and paramount to the future success and life destiny that I am to fulfill. Had I not been exposed to and fully involved in this study, I would still be a broken, misguided, less whole, confused, and an unhealed woman. In my opinion, the healing I've received through this study is the cornerstone of the next level in my relationship with God and the next chapter in my life's journey. I am a changed woman. I am set free. I am alive again. Joy has been restored where there was none. Hope has been imparted where hopelessness reigned. I am liberated and alive because of the work God has done IN me THROUGH the study. I now look with excitement towards the future and know that God has good things for me planned in the days ahead.
Tina- Study: Binding Up The Brokenhearted, 19-Nov. 2009 No longer looking back. - I don't think I see or understand the full impact right now. I believe any time I undertake a Bible study and read God's Word there is an everlasting change in my spirit, mind and soul. The peace God has given me over the past few weeks is beyond explanation. I believe God has told me to stop looking back, wondering why I went through those experiences or how those things in my past will be used to glorify Him. Instead, I now know I am not that person any more, I am a new creation in Christ Jesus and those past actions have no control over me. I realize God has placed His Spirit in me and I believe I am His daughter and He is calling me to live like it with His power, strength, hope and joy. I will never allow myself to be identified by the sins of the past because they were taken by Jesus and are no more. I will not consider myself a victim or feel sorry for myself any longer. I now live according to what God has in front of me, focusing on how to walk with Him forward (not backward). I am so excited to find out each day what God has before me, not behind! THANK YOU MY LORD JESUS CHRIST!
LaReina- Study: Binding Up The Brokenhearted, 15-Nov. 2009 Nothing heals like the Word of God. - This study has brought healing that I never thought was possible. Nothing pierces like the Word of God, nothing HEALS like the Word of God. I always thought I would carry at least a part of the guilt and shame of my abortions for the rest of my life, even as a Christian, just because I thought it was unforgivable. It isn't. Complete healing IS possible, and my relationship with God is now closer than I ever imagined. I don't need to hide anymore.
Randi- Study: Binding Up The Brokenhearted, 3-Nov. 2009 Better mom, daughter, sister, wife. - Although a believer, there were issues of unforgiveness in my life (abortion being one of them) and this study assisted me with not only that, but drawing me into a closer relationship with Christ, my Savior. It's more than I could've ever imagined. It's made me a better mom, daughter, sister, wife, and person by showing me my weaknesses and praying they be turned into strengths to glorify God. I'm free and on fire for God like NEVER before and I've been a believer for over 25 years! Praise God!
S. D.- Study: The Hem Of His Garment, 19-Oct. 2009 Weights in my life. - I accepted the Lord before starting this journey. I knew there were 'weights' in my life that kept tripping me up as I followed Christ. I never realized that I had shackles of burdens of sins, such as unbelief, unforgiveness and shame/resentment at my ankles. I was like the run-away slave after the emancipation was in effect. Going through this biblical journey I not only saw the light of God, I felt His hand take my head and lift it upward to His and kiss my painful tears. I felt the presence of my Savior kneeling and breaking the shackles and pushing them away out of my presence so that I will not trip or fall over those sins. I know His hands were upon me and the anguish and frustration of being a failure was washed away and replaced with the presence of His fruit, a peace that surpasses all my comprehension. He loves me, made me see He loves this individual not because I am a child or grandchild of a preacher; He didn't receive me just because I was left and no one wanted me. He said I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee. Isaiah 43:3-4 He showed me this throughout my walk. He taught me to forgive.
Heidi - Study: The Hem Of His Garment, 14-Oct. 2009 God broke through. - I went in to this Bible study with a lot of doubts. And my biggest issue was with God. The suffering in my life was unbearable and I didn't think anyone could help me or that they would even want to help me - especially given that I wasn't paying them anything. I'm glad that I can now say that I was wrong about God and many other issues in my life. He really got through to me during this Bible study and that in itself was a miracle.
Amanda- Study: Binding Up The Brokenhearted, 24-Sep. 2009 The Lord's purposes are also for our good. - When the Lord led me to this study, I thought it was only for the purpose of helping others find freedom from the guilt and shame that abortion brings. I knew that I had been forgiven through the blood of Jesus, and that my baby was with the Lord, but I soon found out that God still had some "heart surgery" to do on me! Through this study and through my wonderful counselor, the Lord revealed to me that I had been holding on to bitterness and anger toward some of those involved in my abortion and in that period of my life. I learned that some of the scars that I thought I had to bear for the rest of my life could be completely healed! I have been a Christian for 15 years and a Pastor's wife for 9 of those. I have a wonderful, biblical, gospel-centered, Christ-exalting church, but I had never experienced, in my own life, intimacy with our Lord like I have during this study. I pray that the Lord will use me to touch the lives of women the way that mine has been touched here, for the glory of His Name, and the advance of His Kingdom.
As you can see, God is doing an amazing work through our e-ministry. We are so thankful for your prayers and your financial contributions which enable our ministry to grow and reach out to the brokenhearted. We understand that there are many organizations worthy of your financial and prayer support. We are so blessed to have you on our team.
May the Lord bless and keep you always.
In His Love
