THE DIVINE INNER HEALING MINISTRY

Part I

by Ronald D. Ginther, Founder of DIHM

Note the pathetic bandaids in the jpg of the beggar boy that we often use to try to heal inner wounds and griefs. They cannot do the job, for such deep wounds, but we try them anyway, then go and ignore the inner pain of unhealed issues for years, often for as long as a lifetime--suffering needlessly inside all that while, since Christ the Great Physician stands ready to heal and restore us. He alone knows us and our hearts, and our inner being, and just what is needed for our healings! Why do we choose man over Him, in almost 100 per cent of the times we go for help. Divine inner healing can only be administered by God Himself. No man can do it. A man may be a conduit or instrument of it, but he cannot do it. Why don't we turn to God? Why do we ignore him and turn to men for help almost always? We usually turn to God only in the last resort--but that isn't a true turning to God for help. It is only a sign of exhaustion and resignation.--"Okay, God, do your thing, if YOU think you can help me out of this problem!" That isn't faith. It is really a terrible insult to the Great Physician, Jesus Christ.

Have you considered the topic of inner healing (divine inner healing, not man-induced or man-originated)? Please return for a link to a new article by Ronald Ginther, describing his divine inner healing just now experienced on February 11 in the early morning hours, during which he conversed with his earthly father with a direct line to him in heaven, via Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit! It was a two hour communication, during which Ronald Ginther received revelation about relationships in his family that were later confirmed by his mother when told to her. The pieces of a puzzle are now virtually all in place for the healing and deliverance of his entire family--a family that was blown apart psychologically and mentally in 1947 with his father's death (actually an undeclared homicide, since it was due to a dishonest airplane dealer's malpractice and deceitful dealing with Ronald's father in the sale of a defective plane he knew had problems and insisted Ronald's father should take up anyway in a test flight).

Ronald Ginther is now the first to be healed in his family of eight grown children who lost their father in 1947 (suddenly in a plane crash) but never dealt with it properly, so that each individual carried, as it happened, a grieving child hidden and unrecognized inside. Thanks to God's healing touch alone, Ronald's five year old child was released, and this "inner child" carried on the conversation with his daddy in heaven, and in the process the adult Ronald received healing and release. It was a sheer, unexpected act of God, all the more wonderful because it is real, real, real. It would be interesting to know if other families, having experienced the loss of loved ones, have experienced what his family suffered all these decades since 1947.

The imprisonment of the pain, bewilderment, and sometimes unforgiveness of the missing father by the uncomprehending inner child, which never grows up but continues to grieve uncomprehendingly, is a terrible captivity that only God can break the person free of, is an account that should ring bells (or raise little red flags) with others. No man is an island, the great English metaphysical poet John Donne said. Surely, someone else on this wide earth has undergone the same thing to some degree! Yet God can, as Isaiah proclaimed and Christ read to his fellow Nazarenes, liberate the captive, as Ronald, a long-time captive of a grieving inner boy, can now testify. This article will be called, "Free At Last: My Divine, Inner Healing," by Ronald Ginther. This is not about grief therapy or grief management, it must be repeated to make absolutely clear. It is a God-originated DIVINE MIRACLE of grace and healing that came from heaven, not from earth or in anything a person could possibly do or pull off to bring about so-called "closure" after a death. This may sound strange, and you may not have read of a case of this anywhere. That is likely. Neither has Ronald and his mother, as they observed in converation about it. But that doesn't invalidate it, since God isn't known in the Bible to be much of a "copycat." He doesn't seem to have to repeat Himself very often, if He ever actually does. He is eternally creative and eternally sovereign and omnipotent, and can always do new things, which men could never do, even given all the technological and physical resourses (along with all the computers and science and accumulated knowledge) of the so called post-modern world.

Do you understand what is being said here, Emmaus Walk student and seeker of the truth of the Bible? Print it off rather than give somebody a half-understood, half-garbled account that may mislead unintentionally. Better yet, wait for the article for all to be made clear, if this is not clear enough. No one need be hurt or misled by this introduction of the article. It is only to announce what is coming to this Bible school, since it seems the Lord is leading Ronald Ginther into an anointed ministry of this kind, and since he knows he is already anointed and equipped to begin one. It is now only a matter of time and God's opening of doors to receptive hearts and thirsty souls who desire to be set free of things that are the same or similar to what held Ronald and his siblings captive in bonds (and grief in children can be a very hard bond to get rid of, once it settles down into a child's heart and is buried there as the child grows up but doesn't ever effectively deal with--right? In this respect, please read Psalm 116:16. The Lord gave this verse to Ronald shortly after the Divine Inner Healing.

Surely, you get the very apt, timely Biblical point of this now, what is being dealt with, and so it should not seem so alien and strange as it may have first appeared at the start of the note. God bless you and increase your understanding of the Bible, as it can and does relate to the deepest secrets of the heart, whether an adult's or a child's or both. If the Bible, the truth of the eternal Word of God, cannot penetrate to the deepest corners of our psyches and heal us--what sort of truth would that be? It would be so limited and incomplete that we would be thrown almost completely on man's finite understanding in the fields of psychiatry and psychology and even soothsaying and psychic mediums (God forbid!). But the truths of the Bible, allied to God's powerful healing touch via the Holy Spirit, are altogether, and absolutely, sufficient for us. God and His Word possess everything we need. Everything is not much, or a lot, or a great deal...no, it is everything. God and His eternal Word contain everything necessary for our lives here and in eternity.

Yeshua, Jesus, is still the Great Physician of the human soul and spirit. He alone can diagnose the true cause of a malady hidden far from human sight and even human knowledge, and also prescribe and deliver the cure for it, restoring the wholeness to the suffering individual that no doctor, no psychiatrist, or high-priced psychologist, could possibly produce.

People are often mistakenly yet unintentionally cruel and insensitive to suffering individuals, precisely because they see in the natural and do not see as the Bible and the Lord God see--which is spiritual sight, somewhat analogous to having X-ray vision. Operating from another dimension, the heavenly, They only can penetrate and see all the way through the exterior skin, bone, and cartilege and intricacies of the human soul and heart to the real cause of the person's problem, even problems that the person has no knowledge of.

Isn't that a wonderful God and a wonderful Bible? They're still available to us! Without them, Ronald would never be where he is today--liberated, healed, and now launched on a new ministry to the deeply sick and hurting, wounded by things in the past over which the children they once were could have no possible control or means to correct and heal.

He has been released from a worse bond too, that of denial. Alcoholics, guzzling booze like road hog cars for decades, are known to deny they are even alcoholics (actually, they have an underlying cause, which is sin, or a strong-hold of the enemy, or both oftentimes). Unlike alcoholics, Ronald never was very strong on denial, as the rest of this family still is. They refused a long time ago to even speak about the loss everyone suffered when they lost their daddy in the plane crash whenh he was five years old. But Ronald was always open for healing and wanted it. He was the least affected, being the youngest boy, and, therefore, the most likely to emerge first like a butterfly from deep, dark captivity to the pain and ignorance and unforgiveness that naturally clung to the loss of his daddy. His older siblings managed it, or so they thought, and to this day do not have scarcely a clew that the opposite is true, that it, the loss, has managed them. They need to reverse that, or the rest of their adult lives will be devoured by something that can only be dealt with by a true Divine Inner Healing. It is a fact that wounded individuals, if the wound is not taken care of soon, will in later life cling to the pain, or the underlying cause of it, since it is all they have known, and to uncover the pain would inflict more pain, this time conscious pain--and they are content to live numbed, semi-conscious lives--acting out a charade of what adult life is supposed to be. They can even become successful professionals and carry on long-term marriages, and produce families, but underlying it is an entirely different reality that was produced by lifelong denial--and really then, nothing that has been created over the wound is truly real. It is all a sort of husk or chrysalis covering up a worm-like, voiceless, hurting, inchoate creature that is not a true human being. Only Christ can liberate that creature and re-fashion it into a genuine human being by His divine love and wisdom and power.

There is no substitute. Grief therapy and grief management come too late. It cannot reach the inner child as effectively and perfectly as only God can reach him, to set him absolutely, gloriously free from all his boyhood bewilderment, pain, and unforgiveness of the missing father. God made each of us, so He knows best how to heal each of us. The others, including doctors and the great hospital research teams you can point to at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota or the University of Washington, are only guessing with a certain amount of probability, in comparison to God who is always, always, precisely on target--Ed.

Since the above note was entered, Ronald Ginther has recalled an incident that occurred around 1977-78, when he was enrolled at Peoples Bible Institute, Tacoma, Washington, an incident of ministry at a local (Washington) Assembly of God church's youth meeting which helped ignite a revival in which many of the youth were saved. This indicates clearly that the DIHM ministry was already given him at that time, though he did not realize it. Gifts of the Holy Spirit are actually given each believer when he or she is born-again. There is no reason not to believe Ronald was given the DIHM at that time. This incident will be related int he article describing exactly how his divine inner healing took place. Please return for it soon.--Ed.

Part I, as given, is not yet complete in detail. Please return to it later. In the meantime, you may go to Part II, which will relate the most recent developments of this newborn ministry of God's healing power of the inner man, inner woman, and inner child. Use the link here provided:

Ethel Waters, a Broadway actress and film star and singer, returned to her faith in Christ after a long, successful career and attended Billy Graham evangelistic meetings until her death. She often sang at the meetings. These meetings, which have her singing, have appeared recently on TBN. Her personality comes across just as vibrant as it was then, captivating the audience. Her book is also worth a review here on The Emmaus Walk, called "To Me It's Wonderful," which Pearl Ginther (Ronald Ginther's mother) bought at a Billy Graham meeting in Tacoma over twenty years ago from Miss Waters, who signed the title page, "In His Precious Love, Ethel Waters." She knew the precious love (and forgiveness) of Jesus! It meant more to her than all her fame and success, as her book testifies.

Here is a new feature that will give you an update on the amazing Mary-Constance who has gone to share Jesus and His love in Mexico without the help normally given missionaries.

Since the letter was offered, Mary-Constance has returned to the states due to cancer. She is in excellent spirits, and God will use her here despite this added handicap. She has no fear of the disease and is a nurse. Please pray for her healing! We will continue to run her letter from Mexico, as that is where her heart truly is.

I did not know what Sister Minnie Kemery, lifetime woman of prayer and missionary to the Arabs in Tunisia and the Left Bank intended at the time, but later she sent me a card that Eben has used as inspiration for picturing the fulfillment of Exekiel 47. Please read the passage, where it deals with the river that will flow from the Temple in Jerusalem and note how it sweetens not only the Jordan but the Dead Sea (which is a sea of bitter salt, the salt being unforgiveness and distrust and hatred between the sons of Abraham, the Jews and the Arabs.

Yes, there can be fervent love and friendship between Arabs and Jews, who are both beloved children of Abraham! There has now come to the Islamic public a true version of the Quran (Koran), which can be read by all Islamic people with profit. It is in English and Arabic and is called "The True Furqan." For more information you can contact Omega 2001, P.O. Box 293627, Sacramento, CA 95829.

To Abraham God said: "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing."--Genesis 12:2. This blessing holds for descendants of both his sons Isaac and Ishmael

John 3:16 in Arabic:

The following cartoons will illustrate the fact that God's grace is not dependent on man's righteousness, and is sufficient despite man's unrighteousness! Thank God, that we cannot and do not merit God's grace--it. is God's free gift, which we cannot earn, since Christ's own utterly innocent blood and perfectly righteous life paid for it. As utter bankrupts, we are offered this wondrous grace and the salvation God has for us when we believe on His Son and ask forgiveness for all our sins.

What is the cost of sin? The Bible says it is death, both physical and eternal. We see the pain and blindness that followed the sin of Samson, which provoked magnificent works of literature and poetry, including Milton's "Samson Agonistes" and a number of Hollywood films. There was nothing poetic or inspiring about his suffering, however, unless it resulted in repentance and a humble spirit.

We know there is an eventual terrible cost to sin, however pleasurable it may be at the beginning. But what is the cost of faithful discipleship? For the Apostles, it was death, almost always violent (except for John who was "merely" boiled in oil and when he did not die he was imprisoned on the island of Patmos). We are told in scripture that if we are faithful to the Lord, we will suffer. Every saint of God has suffered. How can we be the exception? Samson, however, brought most of his suffering on himself, not by God's will for him. Fortunately, there is reason to think things turned out all right for him in the end, despite his violent death by his own act. Please use the link to find out how that could be.

Have we forgotten Terry Schiavo and her ordeal in Florida at a hospice, condemned to death by unjust laws and unjust courts, all in the name of a husband's rights?

Look soon on major search engines for www.oaringintheriver.com, a domain containing The Emmaus Walk and seven other websites by Ronald Ginther. It will be a convenient central directory page with links to all eight websites. The theme is that we are all in a river of life, and for a time we hold an oar, and we can use it to direct our boat into different streams of the same river, navigating our way into the streaming and liberating light of God.
