Healing is the process of repairing/fixing brokenness, emotional pain and physical symptoms caused by grief. Our Founder Ruby Taylor created the cycle of grief and healing. The cycle of grief consists of 3 circles of acceptance.

Why is it taking so long for my healing to occur? I prayed and prayed and I am still hurting and can hardly get out of bed. When will I make it to acceptance III?


Healing will occur for everyone at different times. In the word of God when David lost his son, everyone was afraid to tell David that his son died. When they told him, David got up immediately and created a new routine and healing occurred instantly. Before the death of his son, David prayed, cried, took off clothes and praised continuously. Through his prayers and praise David was connected and filled with the spirit of God. This allowed David to heal instantly after his pre-mourning cycle. Healing for believers means I trust in God and I know Jesus Christ through the Holy Sprit will repair brokenness. If you are not experiencing a David healing, it is okay. Trust me; I did not have a David experience. But, through it all I know that God will never leave you or forsake you even in your pain, hurt and grieving. Jesus told His disciples to never give up and to always pray. I say to you continue praying because Christ Jesus knows and sees. I pray that God will heal you and lead you to your mountain top of healing, hope, peace, and JOY. 2 Samuel 12:15-23
