“Why do I need more than one session? Why can’t it be ‘one and done’ so I can just be healed?”
We get this question a lot. Here is how I like to explain it.
I am almost 32 years old. In my almost 32 years of life I have been abused, manipulated, watched people die, and so much more. There has been a lot of good in those years too! But I wasn’t abused and hurt in one night, so I don’t expect Jesus to heal me overnight.
YES, Jesus has the power to heal everything all at once. He is omnipotent, which simply means all-powerful. Nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:17). But if He had healed it all at once, I more than likely wouldn’t have been in the right mindset to keep living in the healing I was given. God told Israel He would not drive out their enemies in a single year. He would do it “little by little” until they had grown enough to hold the land (Exodus 23:29-30). Healing works the same way. If I didn’t steward my soul in between the healing of each layer, I could let the wrong people come back in and hurt me again, and that would only cause more trauma.
I have had multiple sessions and I am still in process. Even Jesus laid His hands on one blind man twice before the man saw clearly (Mark 8:22-25).
I talked with someone recently who said multiple sessions are a red flag to them. If someone told me that nobody needs more than one session, I would ask them, “Are you trying to take the place of God?” Only Papa God can say when someone is completely healed and whole. Far be it from me to restrict someone and hold them back from the fullness Papa God has for them. Philippians 1:6 promises that the One who started a good work in you will be faithful to finish it.
I was sitting in a ministry training when the Lord took me into a vision and showed me a wound. It was oozing so badly that it had bandage after bandage wrapped over it, trying to hold everything together so it could heal. As the person’s arm was healing, they had to stop from time to time and unwrap the bandages. The wound had to be exposed so it could be cleaned, taken care of, and eventually healed.
Psalm 147:3 says He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. The Hebrew word for “binds up” is chabash, and it means to wrap or bandage. The word for “broken” is shabar, which means shattered, broken into pieces. God has always known a heart can break into pieces, and He is the One who bandages it.
The Lord showed me this is how it works with soul fractures, or what the secular world calls alter personalities.
A soul fracture is a part of the soul that broke away during trauma. Psychology uses the word “alter” for a separate part of a person’s identity that formed to carry what was too much to bear, usually early in life.
When a soul fractures or an alter is formed, that alter holds the pain so the main, core personality isn’t constantly feeling the trauma. This was designed to keep us able to live life. An alter might hold a memory you can’t reach, feel like a much younger version of you, or carry an emotion you can’t explain.
But Papa God never meant for us to stay in pieces. David prayed, “Unite my heart to fear Your name” (Psalm 86:11). Paul prayed that our whole spirit, soul, and body would be kept blameless (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Eventually Papa God wants to take us back into those memories so we can forgive, give Him the pain and the lies that were spoken, and let Him heal our soul by bringing that alter back together with the core personality.
The beautiful thing is that Jesus is always faithful to heal and reintegrate as if there had never been a fracture or an alter in the first place. “He restores my soul” (Psalm 23:3).
Once an alter is healed with the help of Jesus, we are able to expose the demons that were oppressing that person. When a demon is exposed, its curse is lifted. We command it to leave in the name of Yeshua Messiah, and it has to go! Jesus said that those who believe would cast out demons in His name (Mark 16:17).
You may be asking, “How do I know if I have an alter personality?”
Comment “ALTER” and we will send you a short quiz you can use as a self-evaluation. It isn’t a diagnosis, just a place to start.
Faith-based ministry, not medical or mental health care.
