Here are some pictures of the inner healing week, where God taught through me the first part of the week and then Vanessa (a teacher) and Rossela (leader for this DTS) led the practical applications of the teachings I taught. Totally Gods perfect plan for the week!
Here is our DTS classroom where we have classes everyday during the lecture phrase. Even through I have been in this classroom everyday for the last day during the lecture phrases, God had completely different plans for me this week, as I was in front allowing God to speak His truth about the intimacy we were created for, how sin has affected our relationship (intimacy) with Him and how the cross and death of Jesus Christ brings us the freedom to live like God orgingally planned for us!
I personally have fallen in love, and fall more and more in love everyday, with God's love letter to us and so we read and studied many scriptures from God's Word!
I believe I was talking about how lies that we choose to believe are planted deeply within us and then proceeded to talk about how we can pull out the roots of the lies and allow God's truth to be planted in us instead. But I love this picture! Because I know ASL, been around the Deaf community, and I am a visual learner I am a very dramatic teacher using all kinds of motions and signs!
It is how God created me! And I love it!
Had the opportunity to meet with girls one on one to talk and process what God was doing in their hearts. I loved seeing the FREEDOM and chains broken in the students lives!
After all the teaching, we did a practical application by giving each student and staff a stick and allowing time for each one to process with God ways where we have responded in worldly or sinful ways (ex feeling rejected, prideful, depression, controlling or judging). That created habits in us instead of going to God and choosing to respond the way He would. We wrote this ways on our stick and as a group, called out the different ways we can respond and each time if someone identified with the way we would hammer our stick into the ground. It was an amazing experience to declare we are choosing to repent from our fleshly ways and allow our spirit to control our decisions.
Dan led the group in a time of worship and prayer afterwards! The students experienced freedom in Christ in a deeper way than ever before and this was just the beginning! Vanessa led the rest of the week through some more teaching and practical applications of the teaching.
Giving the students the opportunity to publicly share things that had happened in their past and leading them through the process of forgiving others, forgiving themselves, receiving God's forgiveness, and blessing the same people they were releasing forgiveness to. Afterward, we would share any words of encouragements or scriptures God put on our hearts during this time for the student.
We had a fire where we broke all soul ties and generational curses.
(We did not take any pictures of this so I just took a picture of a fire).
Allowed the students to wash their hands of sexual immorality and receive God's forgiveness, healing, love and purity.
Vanessa and Rossela annointing the students forehead with oil, purifying their minds and claiming the mind of Christ.
Thank you again for all your prayers for this week. Our Father has such amazing plans and He ways and thoughts are so above anything we can ever think of! The week was led completely by Him and we would not have it any other way.
