Testimonials
From
a woman
in Minneapolis, Mn.
I have
been a Christian for over 25 years. Having come from an abusive,
dysfunctional
family background, I enlisted various Christian counselors along the
way
in the hopes of finding freedom from my emotional pain and the negative
behavior patterns (I called them "ruts") that resulted. But every
session
seemed to be only a vain exercise in digging around in painful areas of
my heart without producing any concrete, lasting changes in my life.
Even
ministries that used various "spiritual warfare" strategies didn't
result
in a lasting breakthrough. I was getting desperate and wondered if I
was
going to have to be in this kind of pain for the rest of my life.
It
wasn't until a friend told me about Jericho Ministry (and this after my
praying and seeking after God for someone to point me to the right
counselor)
that I literally turned a corner in my life. It really hadn't been for
lack of effort, willingness or faith that all the other attempts at
reconciling
my heart with my life hadn't succeeded. It was really for lack of
knowledge
of the truth and what the Bible really says about overcoming sin and
pain
in our lives.
That
is what Jericho Ministry provided. From the very first session,
where
he read excerpts from various books and the Bible, I could tell this
was
going to be different than anything I had experienced in the past. I
immediately
felt Truth enter my heart.
When
Tom gave me some of the articles he had written to take home, I found
them
to be like a surgeon's scalpel, going directly to the root of my
problems.
I won't say it wasn't painful, but what a relief to finally know what
was
wrong!
The
results in my life were immediate. My older children can testify to the
changes in me that began and have continued to take place since I
started
applying the principles of truth that the Lord has given Tom from His
Word
and by His Spirit. One of the things they say is, "Boy, Mom! It's
quieter
around here!"
I see
Jericho Ministry as a direct answer to my heart's cries to be set free.
The quote on the back of his articles is true.
The
walls of bondage do come down and the captives are set free. I can
attest
to this. I was one.
I can't
recommend Jericho Ministry highly enough.

A.D. (A
man from Spring Lake Park, MN)
I just
want to have the opportunity to express how much of a blessing Jericho
Counseling has been to me. The way Tom has allowed the Holy Spirit to
minister
through him is phenomenal.
I have
seen some other counselors in my past but I was never truly set free. I
highly recommend Jericho Counseling to anyone who wants to be able to
experience
a healthy and freedom filled life.
I truly
thank God for Tom and how God has used him. My life will never be the
same!
Thank
you, Jericho Counseling

From
R.S. (A
woman from Maple Grove, MN)
I believe
that going to Jericho Ministry for counseling, was appointed by God.
The
Lord had plans to heal my family long before we met Tom, but his
willingness
to listen to the "voice of the Spirit" and his obedience was a catalyst
that set this healing in motion.
My husband
and I started counseling with Tom in the fall of 2000. We were having
problems
with our children and we were experiencing certain behaviors and
reactions
that we just couldn't seem to let go of. God had already set us free in
many areas, but some issues just kept reappearing. They were wearing us
down and we were tired.
God
put into Tom a wealth of understanding about behaviors and
"foundational
root judgments." By the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, God's Word, and
through
Tom's own experience the Lord has used him as a special vessel of
healing
in our lives.
We
have begun to understand our motives and what we put before God in our
lives. God has worked a great salvation in us by teaching us about how
we judge and vow in the aftermath of conflict in our lives. We cannot
strive
or earn His salvation, we can only receive it. It is a gift of grace.
Accepting
that God truly loves us has been a miracle of peace to us.
No
one can really know about God's forgiveness process, that act of God's
true love, unless one confesses and has the courage to look at one's
mistakes
and sins. Tom helped us to do this by loving us through the pain,
helping
us to realize our choices and to see the consequences of those choices.
Understanding
the lies we believe, forgiving no matter whom, rejecting the evil, and
asking for God's Spirit to fill us leads us to the grace and ultimate
healing.
I
suggest
that if the Lord prompts you to read Tom's writings or to call him and
set up a time to talk, that you act on it. It will be a turning point
in
your life. Your life with the Lord will never be the same.

From
Mark (A
young man from Virginia)
Hey!
My name's Mark ******. I'm 17 years old and I live in *******,
VA.
I've been dealing with depression and headache and dizziness for a
couple
years now, and I just want to say that the Foundational Root Judgements
article was wonderful!! I hadn't realized that I was dealing with
so much reliance upon the approval of others to determine my own
self-worth.
I
have felt
a strong calling from God to minister to others. Our church is
working
to begin
a contemporary service, although there are a lot of in-house politics
going
on. I pray that it will all work out and that God will use me to
spread the joy of God's presence in my life, either through music or
through
talks and lessons.
Rev.
Brass's
testimony is awesome in every sense of the word. I'd like to
personally
thank him for such clear articles that help to apply biblical concepts
to our contemporary lives.
. I'm
sure that your
ministry will grow and thrive because of the gospel shared from the one
true vine, Jesus Christ! You all are a blessing.
Grace and Peace,
Mark
