From Kim's Way to King's Way

​​​After the Lord did a profound healing in my own life, He prophetically called me in to healing ministry.  I had no idea the level of brokenness that He was calling me to enter into with Him. After some initial training, I suddenly found myself working with the deeply wounded. Many years have passed since those days and though I have had extensive training in trauma recovery, it still is the power of God that transforms a person's life. I am His witness!

Trauma, both from the lack of good things growing up as well as the bad things that happen, can prevent people from living a joyful abundant life. When a person is able to encounter and connect to the Lord in traumatic memories, He can lend them the capacity to come present to the trauma and show them what they need to know in order to resolve the pain. 

Many times there is a spiritual component to trauma. Satan works to traumatize individuals and fear bond them to himself and others. There are lies and spiritual forces that may be involved that keep the enslavement in place.  Conflict can be set up in the mind and can effect many areas of a person's life. If the trauma is too extensive for too long, the mind can then encapsulate the memory and even dissociate entirely from any conscious awareness that anything bad happened. It is essential in these situations that the True Lord Jesus be involved in dismantling what the enemy has done and bringing truth to all parts of the mind so that there can be an integrated mind that is able to fully trust Him and experience fullness of joy.

Garden Gate at King's Way has sought to provide an avenue for that kind of healing. The following letters give testimony to the Lord's power and passion to see the captives set free and the brokenhearted healed!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Sandra Martin, Director

We Win!

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaimliberty to the captives,and the opening of the prison to those who are bound..."   Isaiah 61:1

​​

 After 16 years in professional ministry, I came to the end of myself. Upset with religious systems, undone by personal issues, unhealed from deep wounds, unfortunately more often a man pleaser than a God pleaser, I was out of my own strength but somehow unable to connect to God’s power.
 Thankfully this was not a surprise to God, and when I accepted an invitation from dear friends to move in with them, it was the beginning of my healing journey. I quit my ministry position, sold my home, and traveled hundreds of miles to move into their attic. In the natural it looked completely wrong. Some days I questioned my decision. Was this a leap of faith or a step of stupidity?
 These friends were on a healing journey as well—but they had started earlier and were far enough ahead that God could, and did, use them to bring me hope and help.
 Sandy Martin was one of those friends.
 Her ministry is one of God’s presence and power. She pointed me to Jesus, and He cleared the clutter and canceled the chaos that had overwhelmed me, so that over time I was able to clearly hear God’s voice of love.
 Her approach is simple, yet it had not been taught in my religious education, professional counseling, or self-help books.
 “Ask Jesus.”
 As we sought the True Lord Jesus together, hour after hour, the spiritual battles were frequently fierce because the enemy of my soul wanted to keep my life enslaved and ineffective.  How I thank God for giving Sandy the gifts of wisdom, patience and compassion!
 It has been nearly 20 years since God put me on a path of healing, but I still have the journal where I wrote what God said to me time and time again during those battles:  “Hang on little one, We win!”
 And we did.
 Because of God’s great love, Sandy’s perseverance, and my surrender to His ways, I walk in freedom today. I am not perfect and I am still healing, but over time, God brought His victory to my life when I felt not only defeated and not just discouraged, but in total hopeless despair.
 Because I can hear from the True Lord Jesus now, I no longer listen to the voices that lie, distort the truth and attempt to make my life ineffective. On the contrary, I am connected to the resurrection power of the True Lord Jesus, I know my identity in Christ, I am accepted in the Beloved, and I serve God with joyful abandon.  The healing that I received through the ministry of King’s Way has enabled me to serve God through an organization that works both locally and globally to bring hope and help. Her “Yes!” of faith caused a ripple effect that gave me the ability to say a whole-hearted “Yes!” to Jesus, too.
 I don’t dwell on what my life would have looked like if hope and healing had been lost to me. Instead I dwell on thanking God for loving me so deeply that in His goodness He would orchestrate circumstances in such a way that my life connected with Sandy Martin and Garden Gate at King's Way.
 I am one of many lives that is forever changed for God’s glory.

 “This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children.”  Romans 8:15-16 The Message
