R.E.A.L. offers a four-step model for praying through painful memories, inviting Jesus to bring healing and truth. It is a confidential session where a trained Freedom Life Team member helps guide an individual through past memories that Jesus brings to mind.  

R = Remember: Having God recall any memory or memories that He would like to heal 

E = Explore: Exploring both the right and left – brain aspects of memory. The right brain being the body's senses, emotions, sensations and feelings of the memory / event. The left brain being the logical description of the memory / event.  

A = Ask: Invite Jesus to heal the memory.  

L = Listen: Take time to hear and see where Jesus reveals Himself. It could be through sound, words, scripture, imagery, smell, or helpful emotional experiences.  

Immanuel Journaling is a structured writing practice designed to help individuals connect personally with God, experiencing His presence as “Immanuel”—God with us. This reflective process encourages individuals to explore past life events by engaging their thoughts, emotions, sensations, and memories in a meaningful way.  

This prayer time consists of: 

• Opening prayer to bring forward a memory of a time when you felt close to God. 

• Based upon that special “God moment,” you pray a prayer of appreciation (out-loud) of who the Lord is for you and your appreciation of His character. For example, “Lord, you are kind, good, faithful, etc.” 

• Connection directly with the Lord, sensing His presence. He is Immanuel… He’s never left you… He is present and with you. Notice where He is with you in the present. The Holy Spirit reveals Jesus. 

• Ask Jesus directly what He wants you to know, or what His good plans for healing are for you today. 

• Through Immanuel journaling, people can develop a deeper awareness of God’s voice, fostering healing, insight, and spiritual growth as they process their experiences in His presence. 

The Freedom Life Team is a group of trained facilitators dedicated to guiding individuals through a prayer process that fosters a deeper, more intimate connection with God. The one-on-one session(s) are led by trained facilitators who have experienced and received their own freedom.  

In addition, they have been educated in specific topics and tools designed to support you through your freedom work. These prayer sessions are not counseling sessions; rather, they are intentional times of encountering Jesus, who alone counsels, heals, and delivers. The role of the Freedom Life Team is to facilitate this sacred space, helping individuals experience the transformative presence of God in a personal and meaningful way. 

• Freedom Life Director: Leads, mentors and holds accountable, recruits and trains future volunteers, facilitates one-on-one session(s).  

•  Encourager: Conducts one-on-one freedom prayer session(s).   

• Prayer Partner: Partners with Encourager during one-on-one freedom prayer session(s) for intercessory prayer.
