“Attend to my words: incline thine ear into my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

They are life to those who find them; and health to all their flesh.” Proverbs 4:20-22

2ServeU Foundational Scripture

"We have proved thousands of times, and are continuing to prove, that by the simple presentation of

enough of the written Word of God to the minds and hearts of the (seemingly) incurably afflicted, they

can be brought to the same state of certainty and assurance concerning the healing of their body as to

the healing of their soul." F. F. Bosworth, 1924

Recovery is the return of Mind, Body and Spirit to its state of intended existence, returning natural balance and alignment to all systems and restoring optimal states of function to the joy of living!

Before people can have steadfast faith in the recovery of mind, body and spirit, they must be rid of all uncertainty concerning the will of God in the matter of healing. Faith cannot be expected go beyond one’s understanding of the revealed will of God. Before attempting to exercise faith for healing, one needs to be clear about what the Scriptures plainly teach, that it is just as much God’s will to heal mind & body as it is to heal the soul, through a resurrected Spirit. The purpose of the Miraculous Recovery! Series is to fellowship in celebration of God's healing power in our lives. This experience allows us to "be changed”. As we learn the sacred principles embodied by Scripture and apply the tools that flow from them, we to grow in Spirit. Health, a derivative of the Greek meaning for wholeness or Holiness, flows from top down, and inside out. Spiritual healing moves through the sacred Mind and manifests in the Body Temple; through the liberty of redemption we become free from the addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors from dis-eased states of mind that lead to diseased bodies. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others as it clears the pathways to Divine Health. As we progress through our healing process, we discover an ever increasing, personal, compassionate and forgiving Higher Power in God, in this case through the Healing Christ; and, we discover the power of total recovery in the Divine Healing ascribed for all dis-ease.

II. Objectives: Developing Insights into the Divine Nature of Healing

1. Being grounded in Sacred Principles: Insight into God’s Word Faith for the release of God’s promised healing is the result of knowing and acting on the Word. This ministry utilizes the spiritual principles of Scripture that serve as instruments, and introduce tools, for the enhancement of one’s personal alignment with God in Jesus Christ the living Word as Source of all healing (Jehovah Rapha), and direct means to recovery from all things.

2. Finding Healing Where it Hurts: Insight into God’s Deliverance We have a new understanding of how to deal with past hurts, one that

acknowledges the damage to the human spirit while charting a path toward the abundant life God promisesiv. This ministry focuses on the issues that underlie the anger, pain, and disappointments that lead to addictive emotional, psychological and physical, fallen-world states of being, offered in spiritual environments of sacred confidence, serving as a means to healing individual hurts.

3. Emphasizing Personal Responsibility: Insight into God’s Discipline We are saved, healed, delivered, protected, preserved and made whole in

the Oneness of God. This ministry emphasizes the empowerment of personal engagement in, and responsibility for, one’s own healing process, viewing professionals as facilitators of a process owned by the individual as a means to personal development through the discipline of ordered steps to wholeness in God.

4. Emphasizing Spiritual Commitment to Christ: Insight into New Life in Christ We confess Him, crucified, dead, buried, risen day three unto glory,

inasmuch; we are healed by His stripes. This ministry emphasizes the healing power of Christ and the ways to tap into It as a spiritual commitment to awaken the healer within; understanding the relationship between renewed health and renewed life in Christ.

5. Understanding we need each other in order to grow Spiritually and

Emotionally: Insight about Giving and Receiving Comfort As Children of God (COGs in the Great Divine), we are called upon to share

each other’s burdens. This ministry embodies the power of group dynamics and peer support to embrace each other’s challenges; sharing experience and finding approaches to recovery from all things that support each individual as they determine fit through social interaction.

6. Addressing all types of Habits, Hurts, Hang-ups and other forms of worldly Dis-ease/Disease: Insight concerning Obstacles to Wholeness/Holiness We all live in a fallen world, are damaged, and need to be healed as we grow

in our relationships with God and othersv. This ministry encompasses and confronts every obstacle to Peace as a means to break these cycles with the assumption that there is but one obstacle with many forms: Identification with the World vs. Identification with the Christ.

7. Developing Support Networks in Fellowship: Insight into the Power of Christian Community

It was Paul’s concern that hearts may be braced (comforted cheered and encouraged) as they are knit together in Love. This ministry strives for the creation of a safe space for people who want to heal without judgment and condemnation, recovering without guilt, and growing in the Love of God as it is manifested in the oneness of a participation seeking to develop a network of peer support that nurtures members and future leaders in the Body of Christ.
