A SPIRITUAL INTERVENTION

We hear the term “intervention” a lot. But what is an intervention? And why is it necessary to participate in an intervention?  We traditionally think in terms of putting an intervention into place to help someone address and then overcome an addiction that is affecting them and, consequently, those who are close to them. In education, we do interventions when an academic area is identified as undeveloped or missing in a student’s skill-set.  Appropriate instructional interventions are then accessed in order to teach the student that specific skill.

We all need interventions at times. It begins with realizing there is a problem in the first place, then formulating a plan which incorporates the necessary steps toward a workable solution. The goal is to obtain a resolution to the problem. In time, intervening will help minimize, correct, or remediate the difficulty.

An intervention always has a purpose. It is to create an awareness in the person who has the issue for the sole purpose of change and improvement where it is needed. An intervention is used to acknowledge and highlight how and in what ways the person’s issue is affecting them and those close them in their sphere of influence.

An intervention’s purpose is to help the person recognize they have an issue that needs to be changed, that they must take steps to turn the corner to overcome it, and they need to institute ways to live free of its control. A successful intervention involves  interpersonal interactions and loving support.

Caring people related to the person in need of an intervention are willing to risk rejection when they participate in an intervention with their loved one. Their concern for that person supersedes the risk involved of possibly being misunderstood. They offer their support and help during the journey in order to encourage the necessary changes and to lend moral support.

A person who desires a close intimate walk with God will go through some internal interventions with the purpose of soul-cleansing and soul-healing. There is a need to go deeper with God and to become free in your inner self. Each intervention in the Spirit-realm is intense and reveals that which is hidden underneath layers of self-stuff—whether good deeds or misdeeds.

God is this way with us. He will offer the intervention by showing us where we are stuck. We must listen to Him, see the true situation for what it is, and then join Him as active participants in our own healing and restructuring by taking the necessary steps involved to access help and change in our interior life.

A God-initiated soul-cleansing intervention will facilitate the ability to live a life of spiritual fullness. The side benefit a person gains through a soul-changing intervention is a closeness with God that is alive and well. We have a friend in Jesus.
