COUNSELLING

1.   INTRODUCTION:

  • The need in the church for deep-level healing and deliverance are more than ever before.
  • The subject of inner healing is confusing for many within the Christian community.
  • For those that belief they are born into Christianity it is most of the time not something that they linked up with the church.
  • For most of the others that belief in a rebirth experience, also belief after rebirth you are free from everything.
  • The times we are living in are loaded with untold complex personal problems, spiritual, psychological and social.
  • The task to assist persons today cannot be left completely in the hands of psychiatrists and psychologist, although we would express great appreciation for the great work they are doing.
  • According to Scripture we need to minister to the total person.
  • It is thus not surprising that, during the past few years, we have begun to hear more about Christian counseling.
  • There is much that the counselor can learn from the secular auxiliary sciences, yet the Holy Scriptures remain the most important source of knowledge.
  • God is the author of the Bible, and HE is the Creator.
  • No-one understands man in his totality better than God.
  • There are mainly two aspects concerning the science of psychology which have been neglected and even totally ignored when dealing with people and their problems.
  • The first is the sin factor and the second is the importance of the Holy Spirit in counseling.
  • We cannot ignore the reality of sin and the role it plays in personal problems, and the necessity that forgiveness and deliverance play.
  • True Christian Counseling only takes place when the Holy Spirit works through the counselor.

1.1.   What is counseling?

  • Many people have a misconception concerning counseling, confusing it with encouragement.
  • Encouragement – means to encourage, inspire by discussion, by the Word and through prayer.
  • No change or solution is demanded here and no attempt is made to lie aside, or to put off, old and wrong habits and to put on, or take up, a new way of living.
  • Counseling – means to find God’s solution to a problem, which often includes a new and changed way of living.
  • The Webster dictionary says: counsel is to give advice.
  • There is something innately attractive about being a counselor.
