Unit 1 Course Topics:  

1. Biblical Basis- Matthew 24:35 – “Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Elijah House is built up on the Scriptures and the keys God has given us through His Holy Word. This topic is the Biblical foundations of the Keys to Transformation series & prayer ministry through Elijah House.  

2. Ingredients of Christian Prayer Ministry – This lesson is an overview of the healing process. In it, we look at the central ingredients of the process itself as well as at the role of a Christian Prayer Minister to help bring about sanctification and transformation in people’s lives.  

3. Bitter Roots – Hebrews 12:15 says our bitter roots ‘cause trouble and defile many’. There is a depth and power to our judgements when they are made from a place of pain. This teaching explains how bitter roots become driving forces behind recurring patterns of trouble and/or destruction in our lives. Both Judgments & Expectancies can rob us of the abundant life Jesus came to give us.  

4. Hearts of Stone & Inner Vows – Hearts of stone form usually in early childhood as a defence to pain. Hearts of stone can’t receive or give love well. Our inner vows become fleshly promises in our life to protect us from further pain. However, they increase the pain and build walls in our lives with God and others affecting how we respond to the situations and people in our lives. 

5. How we See God – The experiences we have in life, our primary relationships and our responses to all of those things affect how we see God. This, in turn, also affects the level of intimacy we can have with Him as sons and daughters. This teaching helps us to recognise patterns or decisions in our life that might have hindered how we see God. It gives us keys to freedom and restoration to walk in true fellowship with the Father. In order to have true fellowship with others and with God, He has to pierce or melt our hearts of stone. In our fallen condition, we are like medieval knights in armour, peering out through the slits in our helmets to slash and poke one another, secretly wishing that the other fellow would open up so we could really meet him. Until we begin give up our armour and walk out the process of healing, we will remain distant from others and from God – unable to see Him for who He really is.  

6. Honouring Father & Mother – The law of honour affects our lives powerfully and completely. In childhood and in the world, we don’t realise the impact of dishonour and the ongoing effect it can have on our lives and relationships. This teaching gives the biblical ‘weight’ that is due for honour so we can walk in blessing and fullness. Here we are equipped to recognise dishonour and come back to God’s heart for us in honouring others. For prayer ministers, the absolute reliability of Gods law is protection against deception (Hebrews 4:12). Through the Holy Spirit and the Word, we help people recognize the excuses, rationalizations and “smokescreens” they use to justify sin.  

7. Accomplishing Forgiveness – This lesson makes the importance and necessity of forgiveness clear. Matthew 6:14-15 says if we forgive others, we will be forgiven. We will learn how resentment becomes lodged in the heart and, once entrenched, requires a work of God’s grace to be removed. We will listen to the journey of forgiveness and how we can reach true forgiveness in our core.
