"The Great Exchange -Replacing Lies with Experiential Truth" by Lillian M. Easterly-Smith is a consolodated study for individuals seeking inner healing. All her premise is taken from Ed Smith, founder of Theophostic Prayer Ministry.
My husband and I have been doing prayer ministry for over ten years. We have seen God give amazing freedom to lives that were ready to accept His truth. Some are not yet ready. Some have been disuaded by online fear mongers and legalists saying it is not biblical. As is often the case, some even use scripture to "justify" thier stance. Too often, I have seen Christians that misunderstand a biblical principal use it to defend their sin, explain their behavior and justify the lie that they are believing.
HOW do we renew our mind? Romans 8-12 is the very foundation of prayer ministry and inner healing. Past experiences CAN serve as blocks and stongholds to you and I getting free from destructive patterns that affect our lives, our jobs, our relationships, our patterns of thinking that produce bad fruit.
At least give "The Great Exchange" an honest look. Use it for devotions, or in a small group. Ask God to open up the areas of your life you may have closed off from even Him.
Church history reveals old fashioned revivals, an old term, called praying through, altar calls, but we have grown too sophosticated for God to work in those ways. Prayer Ministry, Inner Healing, Theophsotic prayer are tools God is using in this day and age to set people free.
