Will you be the one who imparts freedom and restoration?
What if you could be the reason someone finally finds hope?
What if you could witness your friends and loved ones experience God’s healing power of love?
Those who have already been set free are called to set others free!
God doesn’t only call giant men and women of faith to impart inner healing to this broken world.
Now more than ever, we need access to the supernatural power available to us.
We’ve designed the Simple Effective Prayer (SEP) model to make it easy for ordinary people, just like us, to become prayer ministers and partner with the Holy Spirit.
During prayer sessions, the recipient removes hindrances that have held them back from a healthy relationship with the Lord. The prayer minister guides this process under the direction of the Holy Spirit. The SEP manual provides suggested guided prayers.
The SEP model helps the prayer recipient remove negative ancestral and soul tie influences. False beliefs are replaced with the Lord’s truth. Heart wounds are healed in this process.
The purpose of the Simple Effective Prayer (SEP) manual is to provide faith-based guidance and show readers how to allow the Lord to impart healing to emotional wounds.
The Holy Spirit does the healing. The goal of all followers of this method is to allow God to heal the recipients as easily as possible.
Does the SEP model work?
Yes. We have trained people nationally and internationally using this inner healing prayer model. Our greatest reward is seeing people set free and walk into their God-given destiny. If the Lord can use ordinary people like us to bring healing to the brokenhearted, then He can use you.

Why would God’s children need inner healing if Jesus’s death has already set us free?
John 8:23 says, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, he offers us freedom. But we are still imperfect people who live in a broken world. We make mistakes that we wish to undo. We can face traumatic experiences, broken relationships, and shattered dreams. All of these experiences can leave us hurt, wounded, and broken. We need to accept The Lord's gift of freedom and ask Him to help us break off the negative influences impacting us.
Unfortunately, many of God’s children remain weighed down by the burdens of life. This prevents them from basking in the liberating freedom God desires for them.
Prayer ministers invite the Holy Spirit to bring a fresh renewal to the recipient's heart. We ask God to release them from damaging results caused by trauma, abuse, addiction, sin, word curses, unhealthy relationships, and self-condemnation.
do you want to learn to be a prayer minister?
Inner healing is a prayer ministry of compassion. In Jesus's first sermon recorded in Luke 4:18–19, He read from the scroll recorded in Isaiah 61, declaring,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
When God’s children remain in brokenness, they are too crippled to carry out their divine assignments. As a result, the body of Christ becomes hindered from expanding God’s kingdom.
how do we know god wants us healed?
How did the SEP model and manual begin?
When Press journaled with the Lord during his quiet time, he felt God nudge his heart. Press sensed we needed to write a manual, one that simply described the fundamental methods we practice in our inner healing prayer ministry. The Lord gave Press the name for this manual— Simple Effective Prayer: A Model for Inner Healing (SEP).
This manual is a compilation of the principles we have learned, modified, and used in prayer ministry. We trained with Christian Healing Ministries (CHM), Restoring the Foundations (RTF), and Global Awakening. We are indebted to these organizations for their pioneering work in healing prayer ministry. We thank them for teaching all prayer should be led by the Holy Spirit.
frequently asked questions
Is SEP a rigid approach to prayer and inner emotional healing?
No! Throughout the manual, we offer principles and prayer suggestions to structure the process. But this does not constitute a formula. Prayer ministers must first acknowledge the Holy Spirit's presence in the prayer session. They invite Him to lead and listen for His guidance.
The Holy Spirit directs the prayer sessions. Prayer ministers facilitate the process.
What if I am not comfortable praying for others?
That’s why we created a model that all believers can apply. People from all Christian backgrounds can use this model. As they intercede for people, they will grow comfortable by remaining sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
The pressure is not on us. We must surrender to the Lord during the session. We share God’s presence by imparting His healing love to others.
If we partner with the Holy Spirit, He will produce the results. We can pray confidently and trust the Lord will equip us.
Do I need to be an ordained minister to follow this method?
No. The Holy Spirit is the One who guides the process. Prayer ministers must not rely on their knowledge but lean into the Lord instead. It is of utmost importance that we develop an intimate relationship with Him and recognize His messages.
Sessions are most effective when the recipient hears from the Lord.
The SEP manual will help you guide the prayer recipient to communicate with Him.
For example, the Holy Spirit may cause a thought or an idea to pop into your head during the session. Or you may see a vision. He may prompt you to ask the prayer recipient a question or to repeat a phrase.
Before sharing what you sense, it’s important to first ask the Lord for permission to share with the recipient. Sometimes the Lord tells us something but the timing may not yet be right for us to pass on the information.
Prayer ministers need to express the Lord's love and care for the recipients and treat them with honor and respect. We are to be representatives of Christ.
How can I learn more about how to become a prayer minister using this method?
Our book, Simple Effective Prayer: A Model for Inner Healing (SEP), provides a clear guide for the prayer sessions. This manual focuses on how you can facilitate inner or emotional healing.
In the SEP manual, we explain what it means to open doors that lead to oppression. We provide a definition of forgiveness and the key role it plays in receiving healing. We encourage prayer ministers to address target areas of brokenness. This includes negative influences (such as ancestral influences and unhealthy relationships), false beliefs (lies and word curses), and heart wounds.
The SEP Appendices contain suggested guided prayers, worksheets for prayer ministers, the Interview Form, and the Recipient's Prayer Guide. Prayer sessions typically last 150–180 minutes.
Our sincere hope for each person reading this manual is for you to partner with the Holy Spirit and effectively apply the principles presented so others can receive healing.
Remember, what the Lord gives us is not for us alone; it is meant to be passed on.
You can learn more about the process by watching the following SEP training videos:
- Angel S.
Through the prayer session, I was able to experience an uprooting of things the Lord had been wanting me to see, but I kept from coming up.
After the inner healing prayer session, I was able to walk out in freedom.
- Gyvonne
It's the first time that I can say with full confidence that I am walking in freedom from the pain that I carried for years.
I now see my story as a glorification of God's purpose to heal broken hearts around the world.
- Edi M.
I am deeply thankful for the love and compassion Jesus extended to me in this journey through these simple and effective prayers!
An overwhelming sense of God's love and peace replaced the guilt, shame, and generational bondages I had carried for years.
When we minister under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, we share the presence of God by imparting Him to others. We partner with Him, and He produces the results.
Pray confidently, knowing the Lord will equip you!
May you rely solely on the Holy Spirit, taking the pressure off yourself as you bring inner healing to those you encounter.
