Inner Wholeness (BC-216)

About this course

This course addresses an important aspect of our well-being namely our emotional and inner wholeness. With different life situations, the inner person is often wounded and broken which in turn gives rise to challenges in dealing with God and others. Healing in the emotional person is vital to living the abundant life. In this course, we learn to identify causes of such problems, discover the basis for our healing and understand how to journey to a place of emotional wholeness and well-being.

God created man as a tri part being, comprising of spirit, soul and body. The Lord’s original design for man is to be perfectly whole in these three parts. However, the many problems and challenges we experience in life affects the area of our soul or the emotional person which comprises of our mind, will and emotions. These problems can include the choices we make, the difficulties we experience in our relationships, adverse experiences, and situations of our lives. These problems often lead to deep emotional wounds and scars that manifest as uncontrolled temper, depression, anxiety, fear, worry, poor self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy and insignificance, habitual patterns, and addictions. Believers are not exempt from emotional hurts and wounds, but God has provided the means for the restoration and healing of the soul. This course gives an in-depth study of recognizing the roots of emotional problems as well as journeying towards emotional well-being. The penalty Jesus took on the cross becomes the basis for this healing and deliverance which is appropriated by all who believe in faith.

This course helps to not just receive emotional healing for our own selves, but also equips the believer to be used by the Lord to minister emotional wholeness and deliverance to people around them who are emotionally broken and hurting.
