Theophostic Procedure (Basics)

This is something I got in a session I had with a friend. My friend got training in theophostic prayer and gave me this.

1. Pray -- Ask the Lord to give the person the grace & courage to feel what he needs to feel and look at what he needs to see.

2. Have him share his presenting story & focus on the emotions.

3. Ask him to allow his mind to connect him to any memory relateed to the emotion. (Do not rush them -- silence here is good). Question: Are you willing to lay aside the present situation and see if there are any earlier places where you felt this same emotion?

4. Once in the memory, have them identify what they are feeling.

5. Ask him to identify why he feels (this will be the belief) what he feels in the memory of what you're believing.

6. Work through any "conclusions" (I could never please her) to find the lie (I am worthless). Lies are almost always statements about identity.

7. Restate the lie out loud. Ask "how true does this lie feel to you from 1 to 10?"

8. Ask them if they would like to hear from the Lord regarding the lie.

9. Summarize what they hear from the Lord.

10. Revisit the memory & see if there is still negative emotion in the memory.

11. If no, thank God for HIs Truth & healing.

12. If yes, there is most likely another lie which needs to be visited and worked through. Or it could be a truth-based emotion like disappointment, sadness, regret.

13. If a truth-based emotion, ask if there's any resistance to allowing the Lord to carry it.

14. End the session by acknowledging the presence and work of Christ.
