Healing Prayer Ministry

St. Raphael’s Healing Prayer Ministry addresses the needs of individuals seeking prayer to identify and address anger, sadness, isolation, unforgiveness, negative thoughts or emotions. The Prayer ministry teams are trained in intercessory prayer to help identify and uncover the obstacles preventing individuals from accessing the Father’s forgiveness, mercy and love.

A trained prayer team, including a Lead person and an Intercessor, meets with each individual in a private session to assist them in overcoming the spiritual obstacles they have encountered on their path of Christian discipleship. The team helps them recognize the obstacles which have prevented them from letting go while leading them to take authority over their lives and reclaim their full baptismal gifts through Jesus Christ.

The individual supplicant is guided through five simple steps to identify issues and regain authority over their lives with the Lord’s help, naming and releasing them from these obstacles. The five steps that are used are:

1. Repentance and Faith 2. Forgiveness 3. Renunciation
4. Taking Authority 5.Receiving the Father’s Blessing

Examples of situations where healing prayer can be an effective help for individuals include:

• Marital/family discord
• Inability to forgive
• Relationship struggles
• Habitual sin
• Persistently negative view of God or self
• Chronic fear, anxiety or sadness
• Stalled spiritual life
• Anywhere in your life where you feel “stuck” and desire greater freedom

Healing Prayer does not replace the ordinary means of growth in the Christian life such as personal prayer and the Sacraments. It serves as an additional tool that addresses the specific spiritual influences that are frequently a part of any personal problem.
