This 8 hour, three-day seminar, with a yearly renewal program provides instructions on how to counsel, where to counsel and what to counsel.
We have discovered that the most outstanding qualification of a Word-based counselor is to free himself from the counseling and allow the Holy Spirit to lead. You are taught how to rely on the principles of the Word of God to free yourself in this work of the Lord.
The sessions cover how to:
- Break soul ties
- Break generational curses
- Counsel addictions
We work with teams within the group to practice the taught techniques. We define what Word-based counseling is and that it is not psychological, pastoral or medical. Rather, it is a tried and proven solution to solve the problems of today’s society. It is a vital ministry for today.
This certification gives you the ability to counsel without the license process.
House Bill 2481
Wonderful news for Christian Counselors, Pastors and Church Staff!
On September 1, 1997, the Texas Legislature passed into law House Bill 2481. What is House Bill 2481? It is an act of law that allows “faith-based” substance abuse treatment providers to properly certified Christians to be certified counselors who may now legally counsel and minister to families with addiction problems. Springing from this new law has come an open door to counsel people with all forms of life-controlling problems. After all, the only real solution to the horrible bondage of substance abuse and other societal dilemmas is when Jesus Christ changes the heart. Our State leadership is now coming to grips with that fact. Further, Governor George W. Bush took the advice of his “Task Force on Faith-Based Community Service Groups,”
The State did not want to do that, nor could they. Having said those two things, let me to introduce you to The Crisis Recovery Institute Counselor Training Institute. CRI is a Texas non-profit religious group that operates as a training program for the certification. We are one of the first “faith-based” certification entities in Texas history. The curriculum is an intense 8 clock hours and includes some of the most practical Biblical counseling principles available anywhere using our exclusive model of Reality Therapy.

Inner Healing 101: Healing emotional wounds
This is one of the most vital and important areas of deliverance ministry that we cannot overlook. While it is important to cast out demons, it is just as important, if not more important, to minister to the emotional wounds. Emotional wounds are one of the most common reasons that deliverances can fail or demons seem to keep coming back and regaining inhabitation within the person. I need to make it clear that if you are going to be in the deliverance ministry, it is an absolute necessity that you learn about emotional wounds and how to bring the person to the point where they can receive inner healing from the Holy Spirit.
Our goal is not to forget a hurtful event or trauma, but to receive healing for that event, where the Holy Spirit removes the stinger from it. When we look back upon a healed wound, we can see it in a different way, because it has been healed and is no longer painful to look back upon.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Identifying emotional wounds
Inner rawness:
Irritability:
Little or no tolerance:
Feelings always rising up:
Overly sensitive about an event in your past:
Hard to forgive:
Hard to feel loved:
Lashing out: when there’s an inner wound
Feelings of anger towards God: when a person has been wounded, it becomes easy to blame God for their troubles.
Self-hate: many times when a person is hurt from past abuse, they will begin to think that perhaps what happened to them, was deserved.
Easily frustrated: because an inner turmoil that an inner wound causes, it is easy to become easily frustrated.
Escapism: as a result of inner turmoil, it is easy to desire to escape.
Cutting: a person who is a cutter usually has an alter
Personality.
Retaliation urges: because of built-up hate and anger as a result of unforgiveness, somebody who has a festering inner wound will find it easy to retaliate or snap back.
Irresponsible behavior: inner pain has a way of consuming a person’s mind, and eventually this can take on a careless approach to life.
Irrational expectations of others: somebody who has been wounded may set high expectations for those around them.(see Colossians 3:13).
Perfectionism: a person who has an emotional wound may also be performance driven.
Feelings of hopelessness: I believe this is also a common result of unresolved inner wounds.
Drivenness: when you suffer from an emotional wound, it can create a sense of void in your life.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD: it is my belief that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often involves emotional wounds that were never fully healed.
Hostility towards God, self, and others: because of bound up emotions, a person can tend to feel hostile towards God, other people in their life, or even themselves. This is usually rooted in a form of bitterness against God.
Be honest with yourself!
If you had a headache, would you go to the doctor. When you hurt inside you need a spiritual examination.
Who is it that you hate or blame? Be honest with yourself; there’s somebody in your past that you, or an alter within you, is holding something against.
What did they do to you? Make a list of everything that was done to you, which you still hold against them in your heart. What might be a list of things which you still hold onto in your heart?
What things have you done, that you deeply regret? Make a list of things that you still, to this day, regret doing.
Is there anything in your past that is hard, if not impossible to be thankful for
Becoming thankful is a huge key to breakthrough if you struggle with unforgiviness.
Are you problem focused? Or solution focused? The Holy Spirit also gave me a strong revelation on this.
Remember, it is not what was done to us that keeps us in bondage, it is our reaction to what was done to us which causes all the spiritual bondage and torment! When a woman is raped, it isn’t the rape which causes her spiritual bondage, but rather the way she reacted to the trauma.

NINE STEPS TO DELIVERANCE
- We must personally affirm our faith in Christ:
- We must acknowledge Jesus as Lord.
- Humble ourselves:
- God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (1 Pet. 5:5). If we approach God with a prideful attitude, then He will resist us.
- We must choose between dignity or deliverance.
- Confess any known sin:
- John 1:9
- We must be honest abaout our sin and acknowledge it.
- We must repent of all sins:
- Confessing sin is not enough. We must make a decision to turn from it completely. According to
Proverbs 28:13, we must forsake our sin.
- As long as we have our sin, we are on Satan’s ground. Repentance involves two things:
- Accepting personal responsibility for what we have done. We cannot try to hold others responsible for what we did.
- We must forgive all other people who have hurt or offended us:
- We must break with the occult and all false religions:
- We must prepare to be released from every curse on our lives.
A.The following are examples of possible curses at work:
- Mental or emotional breakdown (Deut. 28:28)
- Repeated or chronic sicknesses (especially if hereditary) (Deut. 28:59-60)
- Barrenness; tendency to miscarry or other related female problems (Ex. 23:26; Deut.7:14; Deut. 28:18)
- Breakdown of marriage and family alienation (Deut. 28:30, 32, 41, 54, 56)
- Continuing financial insufficiency (Deut. 28:17-18; 38)
- Being “accident prone” (Proverbs 1:26)
- Family history of suicides or unnatural, untimely deaths (Ecc1esiastes. 7:17; Ezekiel 18:23)
- We take our stand with God:
- We make a firm decision and speak it out: “Lord, I submit my will, my purpose, my future, my whole life to God.
HOW TO GET PEOPLE TO EXPEL DEMONS
This is so simple and practical that it does not seem spiritual. But it works! You should not attempt to do it, however, until you have prayed the prayer in the next chapter.
The word spirit in both Hebrew and Greek is the word for wind – but also the word for breath. So how do you get rid of breath? You expel it, usually through your mouth.
There are, however, eight other orifices in the human body. At times a demon may come out through any one of them, a demon of masturbation frequently comes out through the fingers.
A spirit of crippling is often expelled with convulsive movements of the body.
If it happens that a demon does not come out through your mouth, but through some other orifice or area of your body, you will become aware of it. Cooperate with the Holy Spirit and He will show you what to do. But most frequently, you may expect to expel. Sometimes you just need to lean forward and
After you have said your prayer for deliverance and concluded with “Amen!” begin to expel. That is a decision of your will, followed by an action of your muscles. At the same time, make way for the demon or demons to come out. Keep the exit clear! Do not keep praying or start to speak in tongues.
I have discovered that movement of the lips and tongue in speech acts as a barrier to keep the demon in. Think of an ambulance coming down the road, lights flashing and siren blaring. All other traffic moves off to the side of the road. Do the same in your throat. Clear the way for the demon to come out.
As you begin to expel, what comes out first may be just natural human breath. But after a short while, something other than human breath will start coming out.
That is your enemy! Keep the pressure on!
There may be different manifestations as a demon emerges. It may be scarcely perceptible, just a little sigh or yawn. Or it may come with sobbing, groaning, coughing, screaming or roaring. Remember, in the ministry of Philip, the demons came out with loud cries.
One woman delivered from a demon of nicotine yawned so widely that she thought she was going to dislocate her jaw! But when she closed her mouth, she was free from nicotine.
Set no predetermined limit as to how long you will go on expelling. Keep on as long as there are any demons to come out.
When a demon is coming out, some people – especially women – may go on screaming without receiving any release. This indicates that the demon has stopped in the narrow section of the throat and is holding on there to avoid being expelled. In such cases, a deliberate, forceful cough will usually dislodge the demon and force it out. In a deliverance service, sometimes a demon’s screaming will distract others seeking deliverance, hindering them and even making them afraid. This is when workers need to act quickly and help the person screaming to get release.
Many different things may happen when a demon comes out. But remember, when you speak in the name of Jesus, you have authority over the demons. Do not yield to a spirit of fear. Remember, too, that the Holy Spirit is there with you to help you. Yield fully to Him and let Him guide you through to full victory!

How to Overcome: Fear and Unbelief
Real faith is one of the most precious things we have in the Kingdom of God: Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.@ As an old preacher wisely said, There must be a million ways to please God, but not one of them without faith.
Faith is so important because it is the key to our relationship with God. It should be no surprise then that the enemy tries so hard to undermine our faith. Two key weapons that Satan uses to attack faith with are fear and unbelief or doubt. Both are unnecessary attitudes for us to have, and both will kill or neutralize out faith quite effectively if we let them. The disciples got a lesson in this from Jesus right after the resurrection. How did Jesus deal with unbelief and doubt?
How to Overcome:
FAITH V FEAR
FAITH AND UNBELIEF
Everyone has some faith:
We are selective about what we express that faith toward. We express great faith in our automobiles, but sometimes refuse to express that faith in Spiritual things. UNBELIEF IS OFTEN A CHOICE OF THE WILL, RATHER THAN A LOGICAL DECISION. IT IS FREQUENTLY DETERMINED BY A MINDSET ON THE PHYSICAL INSTEAD OF A MINDSET OPEN TO the spirit.
JESUS MARVELED AT THE UNBELIEF OF THE HOMETOWN FOLKS IN MARK 6 and was unable to do many miracles there because of their unbelief!
Move in the faith of God today.

Anger
Ready to get your anger under control? Start by considering these 10 anger release tips.
1. Think before you speak
In the heat of the moment, it’s easy to say something you’ll later regret. Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before saying anything — and allow others involved in the situation to do the same.
2. Once you’re calm, express your anger
As soon as you’re thinking clearly, express your frustration in an assertive but nonconfrontational way. State your concerns and needs clearly and directly, without hurting others or trying to control them.
3. Get some exercise
Physical activity can help reduce stress that can cause you to become angry. If you feel your anger escalating, go for a brisk walk or run, or spend some time doing other enjoyable physical activities.
4. Take a timeout
Timeouts aren’t just for kids. Give yourself short breaks during times of the day that tend to be stressful. A few moments of quiet time might help you feel better prepared to handle what’s ahead without getting irritated or angry.
5. Identify possible solutions
Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work on resolving the issue at hand. Does your child’s messy room drive you crazy? Close the door. Is your partner late for dinner every night? Schedule meals later in the evening — or agree to eat on your own a few times a week. Remind yourself that anger won’t fix anything and might only make it worse.
6. Stick with ‘I’ statements
To avoid criticizing or placing blame — which might only increase tension — use “I” statements to describe the problem. Be respectful and specific. For example, say, “I’m upset that you left the table without offering to help with the dishes” instead of “You never do any housework.”
7. Don’t hold a grudge
Forgiveness is a powerful tool. If you allow anger and other negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. But if you can forgive someone who angered you, you might both learn from the situation and strengthen your relationship.
8. Use humor to release tension
Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Use humor to help you face what’s making you angry and, possibly, any unrealistic expectations you have for how things should go. Avoid sarcasm, though — it can hurt feelings and make things worse.
9. Practice relaxation skills
When your temper flares, put relaxation skills to work. Practice deep-breathing exercises, imagine a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase, such as “Take it easy.” You might also listen to music, write in a journal or do a few yoga poses — whatever it takes to encourage relaxation.
10. Know when to seek help
Learning to control anger is a challenge for everyone at times. Seek help for anger issues if your anger seems out of control, causes you to do things you regret or hurts those around you.

Soul Ties
Sexual Soul Ties
You think Sexual Soul Ties are a joke, yet you wonder why you now have anger issues after sleeping with an angry man. You think Sexual Soul Ties are a joke, yet you now have your girlfriend’s anxiety and jealousy. You’ve never acted this way before.. Yet,You think Sexually Transmitted Demons are not real. You wonder why you and your girlfriend are now so similar in certain areas when you never used to be.. You wonder why you attract the same the type of person. Your ‘vibe’ attracts your tribe.
LIKENESS ATTRACTS LIKENESS.
Do you not get this?!
This is Spiritual Warefare, alway’. You can knock this spiritually, but, even medically speaking, your DNA will mesh with another’s when you are intimate.
His demons are now your demons, and don’t forget to add the demons his other sexually immoral conquests gave to him.. the chain will continue.
Even if you are physically unscathed to the naked eye, you are spiritually infested.
A Godly unity is NEEDED to obtain true favor in this area. You must repent and turn from your sinful ways.. Are you not tired of being so angry, depressed, and hateful?
Let us truly pick up Yahs word, and pray as often as we can. No man is greater than his prayer life.

Panic Attack
“A panic attack is pathological exaggeration of the body’s normal response to fear, stress or excitement.”
― Abhijit Naskar
Have you ever been hit by a sudden, intense, lightning bolt of panic, seemingly out of nowhere?
You experience a strange piercing feeling in your gut, you feel like you were punched in the chest, you have a strange tingling sensation in your hands and feet, your breathing quickens and your heart feels like it is beating at a million miles an hour. Maybe you start to hyperventilate, sometimes until you faint.
Then you wake up into a state of complete exhaustion, greeted by a piercing headache. And sometimes you are greeted by another attack.
Experiences of panic attacks can vary, but that is what I usually experience. But there is usually a sudden feeling of terror, the feeling that something awful is about to happen, accompanied by strong physical symptoms like the ones described above.
If you haven’t had one you may think that I’m exaggerating when I compare the sense of panic to a car crash or mugging but when I’m experiencing a panic attack, the physical symptoms make me think I’m dying and the panic makes me feel like I’m about to be murdered. If you have never had one, you probably think it’s just a panic attack.
Many people have went to call for an ambulance when they saw me having a panic attack and I have heard of several people who were brought to the hospital or went after their attack because they were convinced that it was a heart attack. That is how painful and terrifying they can be.
Even after having a countless number of panic attacks over the past few years I still get that 100%. Even though I was having several panic attacks every day for the last couple of years I still have to remind myself that I’m not dying, every single time.
I’ve heard people compare anxiety to the feeling you get when you miss a step on the stairs and your stomach lurches but for a prolonged period of time. In that case, panic attacks feel like you’ve been pushed down the stairs and out of a third-story window.
It’s a short burst of undiluted terror.
It’s like you’re being attacked by something you cannot see, fight or escape from.
“Panic attacks are a lot like being drunk in some ways, you lose self-control. You cry for seemingly no reason. You deal with the hangover long into the next day.” A Quiet Kind of Thunder
WHAT TRIGGERS A PANIC ATTACK?
Well, it’s not really that simple.
Panic disorder is different from anxiety disorders and so panic attacks differ from anxiety attacks. I hope to write a more detailed post about the differences between anxiety attacks and panic attacks in the future but the main distinction is that they are unpredictable. They occur without warning or reason. You could be walking down the street, sitting in class, lying in bed – it doesn’t matter.
A panic attack is different from ‘normal’ panic:
- The feelings are a lot stronger.
- The feelings usually last longer than a few minutes.
- The feelings seem to come out of nowhere and are not usually related to the sort of situations I described above.
Although you may feel like you are dying or having a heart attack it is important to remember that panic attacks are not dangerous. You are not going to die. You are not in danger. I guess you could say that these have become my panic attack mantras.
I may hyperventilate, cry, vomit or faint, but I get back up again. And when you get back up every day you’ll notice that you start to get knocked down a lot less.
Sometimes they’ll increase. Sometimes they’ll seem worse than ever but you have to keep getting back up and you have to keep going outside.
You may never live a life free from panic but you deserve a life that isn’t ruled by it.

James 4:
What leads to [the unending] quarrels and conflicts among you? Do they not come from your desires that wage war in your [bodily] members [fighting for control over you]? You are jealous and covet [ what others have] and your qlust goes unfulfilled; so you murder. You are envious and cannot obtain [the object of your envy]; so you fight and battle. You do not have because you do not ask [it of God]. You ask [God for something] and do not receive it, because you ask with wrong motives [out of selfishness or with an unrighteous agenda], so that [when you get what you want] you may spend it on your [hedonistic] desires. You adulteresses [disloyal sinners–flirting with the world and breaking your vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend [that is, loving the things of the world] is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says to no purpose that the [human] spirit which He has made to dwell in us lusts with envy? But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation]. Therefore, it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD and HAUGHTY, BUT [continually] GIVES [the gift of] GRACE TO THE HUMBLE [who turn away from self-righteousness].” So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you. Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts, you double-minded [people].
Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose].”

Marriage (With renewal of vows at the end with the talk)
Marriage encounter
-Learning the love language again
–For the Abused
Accept and let go of the problem.
No problem can be resolved without accepting it has happened to you. If you keep denying you are in this situation, you will never get over it.
Go through the pain and put a period on it.
It may seem unmanageable but have the power to leave yesterday behind.
Forgive your partner and start afresh.
Regain your self-esteem.
When you can’t defend yourself from the painful accusations and abusive jokes, you gradually lose self-esteem. To rebuild this, focus on your good side and be happy with your strengths.
You can post a list of your positive traits on your room to remind yourself that you’re overflowing with goodness.
Stick with positive people.
Hang out with people who love you for who you are, like your family and best buddies. Joining support groups in your community is also another option. The members can offer emotional backup and practical advices on how to handle this issue with their experience as the main source.
For the Abuser
Be sorry.
Show sincerity when you tell your partner you regret the act of maltreatment you’ve committed. Promise not to repeat the habits in your marriage and keep it. Learn how to communicate your thoughts carefully and appropriately. Even rage can be expressed with the right words. If this is too difficult for you, seek professional help.
Pause before you answer back.
Because of your inability to think before speaking, you end up regretting the harsh lines you’ve blurted out. At the height of an emotion, you tend to say exaggerated wonderful compliments, impossible promises or stern feedbacks. Before making any statement, pausing for some seconds to reflect can sieve your words. Taking deep breaths or counting from one to ten might also help.
What Do You Need To Know Right Now?
You are a good person, and you deserve to be treated with respect–no matter what. This doesn’t mean you’re perfect, it just means you are human, and worthy of respect.
- Regardless of who you are or what you’ve done, I have some relationship advice for you–you do not deserve to be abused.You must be willing to take responsibility. That’s where your freedom comes from.
It doesn’t mean you’re responsible for the abusive relationship, it just means you are responsible for taking action to protect yourself and others who are being hurt.
Assuming you are an adult, you are capable of taking action to improve your situation–you already have! You’re here reading this web page, aren’t you?. One step at a time, and you’ll get there.
You are not alone!

Forgiveness God’s Ana-dote To Anger
- There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love. …
- The weak can never forgive. …
- Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. …
- The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
In certain contexts, forgiveness is a legal term for absolving or giving up all claims on account of debt or loan obligation, or other claims.
Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives including forgiving themself, in terms of the person forgiven or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven.
In most contexts, forgiveness is granted without any expectation of and without any response on the part of the offender. In practical terms, it may be necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, an apology or even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe themself able to forgive.
Use the below Bible verses to help you begin taking steps towards a right relationship with God and others by accepting and offering forgiveness.
Patience with the process
The Lord promises that forgiveness is possible. Even when hurt seems too great to repair, God tells us “I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 11:19). We experience a heart of stone when we are too angry, too selfish, or too frozen by the pain others have caused us. A heart of flesh, while it may be vulnerable, it is compassionate. A heart of flesh sees that while we are feeling pain, the other person may also be hurting for that pain they caused us. We can get so caught up in ourselves that we do not even notice another is struggling from the offense. It is true that people need to be held accountable for their actions. But these people also need patience from us. As it was said: “Be patient with me” (Matthew 18:26). Practicing patience with another, holding onto the hope and vision for our relationship with them, is a true act of compassion. We need to invite the Lord into the journey and ask for the courage it takes for us to be patient with another and the understanding needed to see that they too are working through the pain that needs forgiveness
The power of forgiveness
When we forgive others there is a freedom where we are no longer shackled to the offense.
While modern conceptions of forgiveness focus mainly on its emotional dimensions, in Jesus’ first-century context, forgiveness had more concrete implications. The Greek word translated as “forgive” in the New Testament, aphiēmi, carried a wide range of meanings, including to remit (a debt), to leave (something or someone) alone, to allow (an action), to leave, to send away, to desert or abandon, and even to divorce.
In fact, the Greek word appears 146 times in the New Testament, but it is translated in most English versions as “forgive” only 38 of those times. Considering the entire range of meanings of this word gives us some indication of what “forgiveness” might have meant to listeners in Jesus’ first-century context. Most of all, forgiveness was an action rather than a feeling, and so our contemporary ideas about forgiveness as an emotional state must come from sources other than the biblical text.
Here I submit six prevailing “myths” about forgiveness that have come into Christian belief and practice.
- “If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.” — Matthew 6.14-15 GNTD
- “If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in one day, and each time he comes to you saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” Luke 17.3-4 GNTD
- “And when you stand and pray, forgive anything you may have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive the wrongs you have done.” –Mark 11.25 GNTD
- “Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you.” — Luke 6.37 GNTD
- “Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, if my brother keeps on sinning against me, how many times do I have to forgive him? Seven times?’ ‘No, not seven times,’ answered Jesus, ‘but seventy times seven…'” — Matthew 18.21-22 GNTD
- “Drink it, all of you; this is my blood, which seals God’s covenant, my blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” — Matthew 26.27-29
