The purpose

Formation before technique.

Healing and deliverance are not techniques to master, but ministries to receive—the fruit of Christ’s finished work applied by the Holy Spirit to a wounded and bound human heart.

Students learn to minister the way Jesus ministered: attentive to the person, dependent on the Spirit, and confident in the authority given to the Church.

Meet your instructor

Dr. Richard Gartrell

Founder, Deep Healing Ministries of Atlanta

Dr. Gartrell leads students through a quiet, practical, and biblically grounded approach to inner healing and deliverance prayer. The program emphasizes the recipient’s dignity, dependence on the Holy Spirit, supervised practice, and the character of the minister.

“The goal is not to produce experts in demons. It is to produce servants of Jesus.”

A safe, pastoral practice

Clear standards protect every person in the room.

These commitments are binding at every level of the program.

01

Confidentiality

What is shared in ministry remains protected, except where disclosure is required for safety or by law.

02

Freely given consent

Every recipient may pause or stop a session at any time.

03

Team ministry

Sessions are conducted with a team of at least two; cross-gender ministry is never one-on-one.

04

Do no harm

No shouting, restraint, coercion, shaming, manipulation, or exhausting sessions.

05

Wise referral

Prayer ministry complements—but never replaces—medical or psychological care.

06

Dignity first

No outcome is promised, and no story is shared without explicit written permission.

A word on referral: If a recipient discloses active suicidal intent, ongoing abuse, or signs of a serious mental health crisis, the session pauses and appropriate professional or emergency care is engaged.
