Transformation Prayer
Meet Kevin
Transformation Prayer Facilitator
For over thirty years as an engineer, Bible teacher, and finally, a pastor I have been helping people seek answers. There’s not a person on the planet with the wisdom to perfectly navigate all of life, which is why I don’t claim to be the expert. I don’t claim to have your answers. I’m not even claiming to fully understand your problems, but I know Someone who does. His analysis and solutions are perfect every time. What I do have some skill in, is getting you to Him.
One of my favorite stories from the Bible is Jesus’ healing of a man with lame legs. Four friends came carrying a man on a mat and tried to get him in to see Jesus, but the way was blocked. The friends decided to tear a hole through the roof and lower the man down. When the man came to rest at Jesus’ feet, He forgave the man’s sins. Some religious leaders questioned Jesus’ authority to forgive sin, so Jesus told the man to get up and walk home—which he did.
Most folks think the story is about Jesus healing lame legs, but there’s so much more. The friends brought the man to Jesus because he was lame. The man wanted to go to Jesus because he was lame. The people in the crowd were there because Jesus did amazing stuff, like heal lame legs. Don’t miss the fact that when Jesus addressed the man His priority was forgiving the man’s sins. He set aside the obvious needs to address the most important one. In the end, the man’s lame legs were healed, but only as a secondary issue. Jesus saw perfectly, responded perfectly, and healed perfectly.
I don’t propose to diagnose your problems, needs, or solutions. I want to help get you to the only person I know who is perfect. I want to carry a corner of your mat, get messy when needed, set you down in front of The Wonderful Counselor, and then stand on the roof and watch Him do what only He can. Freedom and victory are not mine to give, but I know the One who can supply both in abundance. If we can get you to the place where you are willing to listen—He is ready to speak.
Transformation Prayer
The ultimate goal is to help people learn to be honest with themselves, others, and God. The Apostle Paul exhorted believers in Romans 12:2 to stop conforming to the world and be transformed by the renewing of their minds. If our minds need renewal, then there must be things currently residing there that are not new. The Spirit of the Wonderful Counselor will renew our minds if we are willing to listen. My desire is to help you start that conversation.
​
Here are some areas where it can help.
Building, rescuing, and restoring RELATIONSHIPS
We seek the menu advice of waitresses, the tax guidance of accountants, the coaching expertise of sports leaders, and the wisdom of the experienced in almost all areas of life, but there are a few areas we think ought to come naturally. Evaluation and training in relationships has some of the biggest return on investment out there. The Teacher cares deeply about your future and has truth and wisdom that can be acquired nowhere else.
Breaking SPIRITUAL gridlock
Christian friends, counselors, teachers, and pastors can be incredibly helpful in speaking spiritual truth, but there are times when we must hear from the Spirit Himself to break through. Just as the priest, Eli, realized with young Samuel, the Voice to which Samuel needed to respond was God. Prayer is often learned with a heavy emphasis on monologue, but dialogue is an absolute necessity. Sometimes we need help learning to listen to the voice of the Shepherd.
Retiring from ANGER management
Setting a goal of managing anger is akin to managing smoke from a fire. We can expend a lot of energy building smoke-proof shelters, creating better oxygen masks, and blowing it back the opposite direction but we’ve done nothing to put out the fire. All the while, the destruction rages. Until we get honest about the source of the anger, no real progress can be made. If you still believe you’re getting angry because of the circumstances outside of you, consider listening to the One who can show you the fire—as well as give you the Truth that puts it out.
Healing past TRAUMA
Truth-based pain is a fact of life, but some have experienced far more than others. We, as humans, tend to act out in our pain or stuff it down deep inside—sometimes both. Neither response resolves our pain. The first response is being a volcano and the second response builds one. What is needed is a way to rid yourself of the heat and pressure without destroying you or those around you in the process. The Great Physician is ready to take your pain the moment you are willing to give it to Him.
Overcoming ADDICTIONS
Addictions are the coping skills you have adopted to medicate your real problems, even if you don’t know what the real problems are. Consider the wisdom in learning new coping skills to try and alleviate the destruction being caused by the existing coping skills. Seems kind of circular when you think about it. Rehabilitation implies there was a time you were habilitated (qualified for life) in the first place. There is One who must habilitate you and the goal is to help you get to Him.
Looking up from DEPRESSION
Depression can be a medical problem, but sometimes, its roots lie in belief and pain. The symptoms may be improved by medical treatment, but freedom from these underlying issues is something only the Wonderful Counselor can give. Looking up may feel impossible, and in your own strength, it is. The road to freedom begins by looking back, but only through the lens of the One who can make the viewing healthy.
Finding freedom from ANXIETY
Fear is one of the most physically manifesting emotions we experience. It’s tough enough when we know what we’re afraid of and it can be absolutely paralyzing when we’re at a loss as to its source. Exploring underneath the overwhelming panic can add even more fear to a nearly intolerable reality, unless we can do it in step with the safety of the perfect Guide. Stepping into darkness without a light is terrifying, but the Light changes everything.
