Jesus, Healer of the Brokenhearted

Discovering the Pathway to Healing Through Spirit-Led Mind Renewal

Chapter 1 outlines the reality that the healing, mind renewing power of Jesus Christ is available for all who are willing to receive it. This chapter clearly states the book's purpose, which is to help the church understand the problem of the human condition (brokenness) and how to lead the Body of Christ into wholeness so all can fulfill their life purpose. Chapter 2 reviews the Garden of Eden story and, in doing so, explains how all sin is ultimately rooted in deception. It also explains Satan's strategy, to program our minds through early wounding in order to limit our fruitfulness and keep us from our true destiny. This chapter makes the case for mind renewal as a pathway to uproot lies and receive God's truth. Chapter 3 emphasizes the role of heart posture in mind renewal, paying particular attention to defense mechanisms in healing. It outlines possible results of a heart that has been hardened (addition, relational disconnect, loss of purpose) and paves a way for believers to exchange their heart of stone for a heart of flesh. Chapter 4 explains that the consequence of sin has left our "mental hard drive comprised and corrupted," leaving all people with lie-based beliefs in the core of their being. The chapter uses Proverbs 23:7 to explain that what we believe determines our identity and lifestyle, therefore our thought-life must be renewed in order to achieve correct self-image and life purpose. Chapter 5 identifies Mind Renewing Healing Prayer as an easy-to-use, highly-effective and supernatural approach to invite the presence of the Holy Spirit with the purpose of dealing with lie-based beliefs. This chapter uses Biblical principles and testimonies to demonstrate the power of the Lord to radically heal those who have suffered extreme trauma. It also covers the importance of training and receiving personal healing before ministering to others. Chapter 6 covers the basics of emotional triggers and how, with the Spirit's leading, engaging them can lead to emotional breakthrough. This chapter also covers the role of an individual's wiring, wounds and will in the healing process. Chapter 7 categorizes common lies into 8 categories and leads the reader in an exercise that helps him or her identify which lies may be present in his or her life. These lies are accompanied by examples of healing achieved with the Holy Spirit through the Mind Renewing Healing Prayer method. Chapter 8 includes helpful principles for those who want to receive or minister Mind Renewing Healing Prayer. Frank outlines how he prepares a prayer recipient to assume a receptive posture prior to their first ministry session and explains the importance of tools such as evaluations, assessments, collecting spiritual history and more. Chapter 9 outlines in details the Mind Renewing Healing Prayer Process. He provides the example of Bobby, a grown man struggling with lies rooted in the childhood memory of an argument between his parents, to illustrate how to minister this type of prayer to a person in need. Chapter 10 retells he parable of the young, rich ruler to illustrate the significance of free will and choice in the complete healing process. Frank details each point in the Mind Chapter 11 reviews common emotions, defense mechanisms, vows, curses, generational curses, the demonic and other barriers that prevent individuals from receiving healing and provides sample prayers for ministers and recipients to utilize in prayer sessions. Chapter 12 concludes with a section that includes a concluding note from Frank and several healing testimonies from individuals who have received Mind Renewing Healing Prayer experiencing healing, breakthrough and restoration.
