Opportunities for Healing

Through the words of Jesus, the Bible brings us the life-giving message of hope that God is able and willing to meet all of our needs, no matter how desperate they may seem. In Luke 4:18-19 Jesus quotes part of the Old Testament saying "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the downtrodden will be freed from their oppressors, and that the time of the Lord's favour has come."

Jesus was aware that the human race was in desperate need of healing with many people lost to Him or living in situations which felt like prisons. They were physically, emotionally and spiritually ill, or crushed as people so that they had lost - or had never really found - their true identity. As Jesus spoke the above words He was declaring that He was the answer. That in Him, and through His love, people could find good news that would bring eternal life. They could receive the healing that would bring restoration, and the freedom to live a fulfilling life, serving Him and in relationship with Him.

2000 years later, the human race needs Jesus as much as in any other generation. The answer is still the same... Jesus. He has asked Christians, as His followers, to carry on the work which He started while He was on the earth; to bring good news to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted and to release the captives.

When people apply for help at an Ellel Ministries centre there are a variety of options that are available.

Healing Retreats

The work that God established at Ellel Grange began with offering Healing Retreats to people in need of help. A Healing Retreat is a special 2-3 day opportunity to receive personal prayer ministry. Healing Retreats are available at all Ellel Centres. There is no charge for a Healing Retreat although donations to cover the costs are always much appreciated.

Operation Blairmore:

Personal Restoration for Pastors and Leaders

Based at Ellel Scotland, Operation Blairmore is a longer retreat for those who are in a key leadership position in a church, business or organisation. These special retreats were established for leaders who are struggling on the ‘front-line’ of the battle and are at a place of exhaustion, disheartened or have simply lost focus and vision.

 

Personal Ministry Appointments

For some people, following a Healing Retreat, additional Personal Ministry Appointments for further inner healing may be considered necessary. The arrangement of these can only be done on the recommendation of members of the Ministry Team who prayed with an individual on their Healing Retreat.

Healing Services

Healing Services are evening meetings open to the public which give opportunities to receive teaching and personal prayer.

Short Courses and Ministry Courses

The teaching on our short courses helps individuals to better understand and identify their healing needs. Our courses invariably include a ministry time, giving delegates an opportunity for people to respond to the teaching.

Some courses are specifically designed as Ministry Courses and provide teaching and ministry on individual topics such as healing and deliverance or for a particular group of people. The mix of teaching and ministry make these courses excellent opportunities to both receive help and to learn how to help others.
