This level encourages practical contributions to your circle of influence in body/mind/relationships healing, bringing the message of Oneness and divinity into practical daily application with others. It is based on Jeshua’s directive to us:
“Preach my gospel – which is yours as well – that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. I send you forth, from this day forward, to go as my disciple: to preach with love. To heal the sick, to raise the dead. To do miracles. Yes, I am calling upon you to do miracles. Many of your brothers and sisters are calling out to be raised from the tomb of worldly belief. The spirit of Life as joy, as valuable, as hopeful is almost dead within them. They do not think there could be another way to live, to come truly alive. How do you raise the dead? By being the presence of heaven once again. By being the presence of hope, of Love, of joy, of Truth, of optimism. And you are ready.”
Level 2 Healing and Community Transformation (Certificate):
At level two, the purpose and focus is on the message of Oneness and divinity in practical daily applications with our brothers and sisters. This is a higher level of transformation through understanding of Spirituality, with the added component of Loving SERVICE. This level encourages practical contribution to your circle of influence in body/mind/relationship healing and/or community leadership.
