Restoration Ministry Training

Session Overview

Session 1

In this introductory session of the Ministry of Restoration Training seminar, Larry Low shares his personal journey from bondage to anger, fear, and inadequacy into a life empowered by Christ’s peace. He outlines the aims of the training: to equip every believer—beyond the five-fold ministry—with practical tools to facilitate reconciliation and restoration in the church. This lesson defines key terms (ministry, restoration, reconciliation), presents the biblical standard of sonship, and sets the stage for a step-by-step syllabus that will demystify how to lead hurting Christians back into God’s peace.

Session 2

This lecture examines why Christians often fail to live as Christ intended—held back not by external forces but by their own misunderstood emotions. Drawing on 2 Corinthians 6:12, it shows that bad feelings are lies believed about ourselves and explores common coping mechanisms—alcohol, busyness, denial—that merely numb pain without healing it. This session presents God’s solution: an inward “metamorphosis” through the renewing of our minds and honest prayer about what we feel, so His truth can dismantle the strongholds in our experiential memory and release us into the abundant, Spirit-empowered life.

Session 3

This lecture examines why Christians often experience lingering emotional pain despite having been “born again.” It distinguishes between cognitive renewal—learning facts about God’s truth—and experiential renewal—allowing God’s truth to reshape painful memories and misinterpretations stored in our emotions. In this lesson we explore how the cross of Christ addresses sin but not the lies rooted in our experiential memory. Students learn the necessity of verbal, faith-filled communication with God  to experience transformational truth, enter into true freedom, and cultivate an ongoing relationship with the Lord.

Session 4

This lecture explores Jesus’ promise of perfect peace, contrasting it with the fleeting and conditional peace of the world. Students will examine the two lies that drive human insecurity, discover the biblical standard for Christian peace, and learn how to abide in Christ’s “rest” through a continual process of mind renewal and intimate communication with God. 

Session 5

This lecture explores a Christ-centered process for ministering restoration and reconciliation to hurting individuals. After reviewing prior material—namely the purpose of maturing the body of Christ by equipping “sons” as peacemakers  and diagnosing the church’s unhealed emotional wounds—the instructor presents the biblical mandate for restoration. Students learn an eight-step, interactive model of self-examination, honest communication with God, and reception of His truth to dismantle the lies behind emotional pain. Emphasizing ongoing relationship over religion, this lesson lays the groundwork for students to apply restoration principles in personal discipleship and pastoral care.

Session 6

This lecture examines the relational “process” by which believers communicate with God to receive His truth and inner healing. Beginning with a fresh definition of “process” as God-directed steps rather than a mere clinical method, it illustrates how subconscious memories and beliefs hinder our spiritual harvest. The core focuses on the biblical nature of anger—its purpose, its sin potential when mismanaged, and the danger of both externalized rage and internalized bitterness. Finally, it offers a step-by-step, Scripture-based method for forgiving from the heart, reconnecting the offended to God, and walking in the perfect peace Christ provides.

Session 7

In this lecture, students explore the foundational principles of restoration ministry—how to help hurting people by fostering both horizontal relationships (with one another) and a vertical relationship (with God). Emphasis is placed on total reliance on the Holy Spirit rather than human wisdom, the concept of “abiding in Christ,” and the role of the helper as a facilitator who connects the hurting with God’s truth. Practical steps are provided for guiding someone to the origin of their pain, documenting sessions simply, and navigating common obstacles such as false assumptions, defensive “guardian lies,” a busy mind, fear of memories, and the temptation to offer mere advice.

Session 8

In this lecture we explore the common stumbling blocks believers face as they pursue personal peace and minister to others. Drawing on personal testimony and key biblical passages, we learn to welcome life’s pressures as means of spiritual growth (James 1:2–4), to offer ourselves as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1), and to embody Christ-likeness in hostile environments. We then turn to the delicate task of facilitating healing for those with multiple personality realities—gently inviting each alter to hear Christ’s truth, keeping careful notes, and trusting the Holy Spirit to restore shattered minds (Galatians 6:1).

Session 9

In this lecture, students will explore common stumbling blocks encountered while facilitating spiritual care, such as neglecting to ask “why” questions, prematurely leading the hurting, mishandling silence, and failing to identify root lies. Emphasis is placed on creating a non-intrusive environment, maintaining strict confidentiality, and understanding others’ emotional fatigue and developmental stages—including working with children and individuals on medication or with psychological labels. Drawing on biblical principles, students will learn practical strategies for guiding others to God’s healing without assuming roles reserved for the Holy Spirit.  

Session 10

This lesson explores the biblical understanding of demonic activity and the Christian’s authority to stand free from spiritual oppression. We begin by dispelling common fears, then survey key “facts” about demons—how Christ has disarmed them, where they may operate, and how lying beliefs give them “homes” in the mind. We review the armor of God and the authority Christ grants His people, and outline a restoration-focused approach that emphasizes asking “why” questions, binding demonic interference, and speaking God’s truth into hurts. Finally, we consider how knowledge gained by study and by direct experience with God purifies the soul and ushers us into lasting freedom.
