Keys to Transformation Course Goals:

1. Keys of understanding 

– why we and others act the way we do

– why we experience difficulties in our lives and relationships

– we have choices, there are solutions

– how, in the power of the Holy Spirit we are helped and enabled to help others

2. The Opportunity to begin implementing what is modelled during the course:

– Sharing of God’s unconditional love through prayer & relationships

– Proclaiming freedom through confession, repentance, restitution and forgiveness.

– Listening and discerning the direction of the Holy Spirit.

– Basic Ministry skills: interviewing, active listening, prayer and ministry group dynamics.

– Ministering to one another according to the Word of God in the power and sensitivity of Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

Unit 1 Course Topics Include:

1. Biblical Basis– Matthew 24:35 – “Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Elijah House is built up on the scriptures and the keys God has given us through His Holy Word. This topic is the biblical foundations of the Keys to Transformation series & Prayer ministry through Elijah House.
2. Ingredients of Christian Prayer Ministry – This lesson is an overview of the healing process. In it, we look at the central ingredients of the process itself as well as at the work of a Christian Prayer Minister to help bring about sanctification and transformation in people’s lives.
3. Bitter Roots – There is a depth and power to our judgements and when bitter root judgments are formed (usually in early childhood and long forgotten) they become driving forces behind recurring patterns of trouble and/or destruction in our lives. Both Judgments & Expectancies can rob us of the abundant life Jesus came to give us.
4. Hearts of Stone & Inner Vows – Hearts of stone form usually in early childhood as a defence to pain. Inner vows can give further rise to, and further cemented by judgements, expectancies and inner vows, making us lonely – even in the midst of friends.
5. How we See God – In order to have true fellowship with others and with God, He has to pierce or melt our hearts of stone. In our fallen condition, we are like medieval knights in armour, peering out through the slits in our helmets to slash and poke one another, secretly wishing that the other fellow would open up so we could really meet him. Until we begin give up our armour and walk out the process of healing, we will remain distant from others and from God – unable to see Him for who He really is.
6. Honouring Father & Mother – The law of honouring affects our lives powerfully and completely. For prayer ministers, the absolute reliability of Gods law is protection against deception (Hebrews 4:12). Through the Holy Spirit and the Word, we help people recognize the excuses, rationalizations and “smokescreens” they use to justify sin.
7. Accomplishing Forgiveness – This lesson makes the necessity of forgiveness clear. We will learn how resentment becomes lodged in the heart and, once entrenched, requires a work of God’s grace to be removed.
