At some point in our life, we need the help of someone to put us back on our feet. Sadly, our spirit is often so low that we feel left alone, or even abandoned. 7 Bells is committed to you, and will be there when you are in need.
Crisis Coaching / Sobriety Support
Many in recovery do well inside the predictability of a structured program; but, when expected to create and manage your own stability, it feels overbearing.
7 Bells will help you with:
- Unhealed areas.
These become easy triggers for relapse and usually originate from broken relationships and unresolved emotional issues. - Relapse shame.
The shame from relapse is very intense and can cause you to totally unravel. When you seek support from us we assess, and minimize shame damage by quickly finding your fastest recovery possible with minimal loss of ground. - Distance.
You sometimes need to remove yourself from where you are and go to, a safe place to gain/regain stability. Those at 7 Bells are compassionate and appropriately skilled, having been there before, and will walk with you and keep you supported and stable.
Community
What happens when a person leaves the protected and predictable lives they had in a rehab program? For many it’s like being jettisoned into a vast, murky space where they can’t find a landing place into which they “fit”.
7 Bells is helping those in recovery build faith-based sober communities similar to ones like AA. Those coming out of faith programs want — and need — uplifting, fun events and group activities.
Those of us in the variety of stages of recovery don’t want to feel sorted out by who is sober and who isn’t. We want it to be a safe platform. 7 Bells is eager to engage people and use our specific and amazing gifts in healthy, entertaining ways.
- Sober housing (4 houses available)
- Art & Craft groups
- Faith support communities
- Bonfires
- Bible studies
- Safe social media support communities
If everyone participates, even a little, we can create a common area where many can come and feel understood, safe and “normal”. Everyone has something worthwhile to bring to that space.
Our ultimate goal is to:
- continuously post new scheduled events on the website
- be a clearinghouse for new events and activity ideas
- provide support for new community ventures
Prayer
The most important piece for peace
God promises that in Christ I am “a new creation; the old is gone; the new is come”. But I (Wendy) realized early in my sobriety that I was not able to be that “new creation” who everyone in the church wanted me to be.
I was deeply traumatized and damaged by my sin. I needed more help than was available or known to anyone around me at that time (see my full story). Through those years, and various seasons of crisis, I was introduced to people that offered me “prayer ministry” to help me heal from my past. Some of it was helpful. Some of it further traumatized me. Some of it did nothing good or bad, but felt really invasive. After experiencing nearly every form of prayer intervention, from every phase of crisis, I’ve developed what I’ve found to be “best practices” and I have carefully implemented them into the various 7 Bells services offered. I am not saying this is best for everyone, but it has helped many.
My priority in life is to help others as quickly as possible get free from:
- generational sin
- your own sin
- sins of others against you
I want others to understand the authority of Jesus (which He died to give us) and how to use it like He intended. I want to help people understand and break down the strongholds, soul ties, vows and judgments that plague their lives. Since gaining this knowledge and walking in Jesus’ Biblical authority, my life is amazing. Jesus wants the same for your life.
A stronghold is a faulty thinking pattern based on lies and deception. Deception is one of the primary weapons of the devil, because it is the building blocks for a stronghold. What strongholds can do is cause us to think in ways which block us from receiving God’s best.
The Bible doesn’t use the expression “soul tie”, but that’s what is meant when it talks about souls being “knit together”, becoming “one flesh”. A soul tie can serve many functions, but in it’s simplest form, it ties two souls together in the spiritual realm.
Inner vows and “bitterroot judgments” are responses to hurts, unfulfilled expectations, or unmet needs. They can be defined as decisions or determinations designed by us when we are children and set into our hearts as templates or “tracks to follow”, until they are broken.
We have a trained core prayer team who will walk with you through the deliverance process.
