Encountering Jesus Intern

June 12, 2014

In the prayer room, God has really been encountering me and speaking to me about my feelings of loneliness.  It’s been a slow process, but I am beginning to trust Him again and know that I am not alone.

The Prayer Room has advanced my healing enormously.  I came very hungry, needy and broken several years ago.  I have seen tremendous changes in me and my love for God and faith in Him.

I have given myself to the place of prayer out of obedience and desire.  We have been called to surrender ourselves completely to God.  In the act of surrender, we are able to develop a relationship with God.  This is central to loving and being loved, a crux of my brokenness.  Being secure in God’s love enables me to be confident to reach out, be vulnerable, and establish intimate, healthy relationships with men and women.

In the place of prayer in the Prayer Room, I have found freedom from chains of fear, shame and hopelessness. God has continuously shown me pictures of my value and how much I mean to Him. He continues to blow my mind with His love.

I have personally experienced my healing moving forward while at the Prayer Room. Being in a place so welcoming to the Spirit of God has alleviated the darkness in my heart and life.

I am someone who has struggled with his gender identity and who hasn’t felt masculine at his core.  In the prayer room, I have encountered the Lord’s heart about my strength as a man.  One particular day, I found myself grieving my lack of masculinity.  My heart was crying out because of my loss.  Jesus met me and grieved with me.  A few weeks later, He showed me the strength that I have in Him!  I asked God how He feels about me and how He sees me.  I heard Him say, “You are a man.”

The Prayer Room has encouraged me to listen to and hear the voice of God, to see Jesus face to face and hear what He says, and to know how He thinks and feels about me.

Time at the Prayer Room has rejuvenated my prayer life.  It allows me to get out of myself and focus on the Lord.

The leadership of Joshua Fellowship says that if we want to speed up our healing, we need to spend more time in God’s presence in prayer.  I have found this to be true.  When I engage in prayer and song, I realign myself to God’s truth about Himself, about myself and about His love for me and those around me.

For two months, I had been struggling with emotional darkness, pain and confusion.  I felt hurt and hopeless, despite my awareness of God’s love and sovereignty.  At the Prayer Room, God met me and led me to surrender my emotions to him.  It no longer mattered that I didn’t “feel it”; I didn’t need make sense of my pain first.  I just needed to love Him back.
