In God's Hands

Three days of truth seeking, bondage breaking, and heart healing ministry specifically designed for men who have been sexually abused, have sexual addictions, or have wives who have been sexually abused. 
The workers who facilitate these retreats understand the pain of those who attend. Many of the workers have been wounded by the same "devices" of the enemy.  Workers feel participants' struggles, because they have wrestled with many of the same issues.  But most important of all, every worker has experienced God's restoration and healing in some area of his own life and is committed to sharing God's healing love with each participant through continual prayer and compassionate ministry.

Retreats consist of:

  • Teachings which present the truth of each participant's value to God and the provisions He is making for his freedom from the bondages and the lies he has believed about his abuse or addictions or wife's abuse.
  • "Alone With God Time" which gives hope to each participant as he "hears," often for the first time, God speak directly to about His love and plans for him.
  • Sharing what God revealed during their Alone Time with Him with fellow participants.
  • Sessions dedicated to:
             1.  Taking back the ground the enemy has gained in their lives through both their abuse and their acting out. 
             2.  Allowing God to change their hearts with the miracle of His healing. 

Men who take this step toward God, will find that Jesus, who lived as a man and was tempted as a man, will welcome them with open arms and the understanding they have sought for so long.

Here are some of the things men who have attended the In God's Hands retreats have to say about their experience:

God did an amazing work in my life.  I realized how much He really loves me, how patient He is with me. He has given me the peace and joy I've been missing for a few years and He confirmed me the whole weekend.  I will go home with a more understanding and loving, caring heart towards my wife and daughters.

I know that I know that I know I am clean.  I know now that when Satan attacks or brings up old sin, that it is just that and I can put him in his place.  God worked mightily this weekend.  I no longer have to carry al that weight. I now know that God loves me and I trust Him fully.  Because of this, I have let hurts go and can, for the first time in my life, receive God's love and peace.

 

God fulfilled a promise to me that He gave 15 years ago about giving me a heart of flesh and about rebuilding the walls in my life that had been torn down.  I have been given a new heart that desires Him again.  I can now forgive and be free and at peace with Him.

I felt like this weekend forced me to look at why I am not experiencing the abundant life.  The reason I am not is because of fear. I was afraid that I could not allow God to take control of those secret places. Sharing with the group ministered to me the most.  I could tell my story to one person and not feel anything.  When I shared to the group and read Isaiah 54:4/11, I could not hold back what the Lord wanted to show me. (Note: not everyone shares his story.  It is up to the individual participant.)

God started a rebuilding process that has and will continue to transform my entire being to the likeness of Christ.  This is definitely an anointed weekend. Every part of this retreat ministered in a different and progressively stronger, deeper and more personal way.  When I go home I will assume my position as my family's covering with a soft heart able to follow after God and His leading.

This weekend God worked the release of things in my life that I thought that I had handled and found out that there was still a burden of fear and bitterness.  That has been released I was a real mess when I came here.  I am going home a new person in Christ Jesus.  Thank God for deliverance and change of heart.  I have a clean and new heart for God.

All of this retreat ministered to me because God was God.  I believe that because of the covering of prayers before and during this retreat, it was going to be God's highest for each individual.  I appreciated all of the workers.  Each one had a special gift to give and they allowed the will of God to move.
