Through Emily’s personal journey into healing, God called her into a ministry of inner healing and deliverance.
The journey began at a point of disappointment and heartbreak, with an epiphany that inspired Finding the Secret Place. Later, Invite Jesus into Your Traumatic Memories was born out of her work as a volunteer prayer minister.
Emily is currently available for online inner healing and deliverance sessions. If you or someone you love is in need of such help, visit the Consult Page for more information.
Finding the Secret Place, is a big picture story about how to get started or begin afresh with God. It’s about becoming aware of His presence in your circumstances.
God has all along been drawing you into Himself, into His presence, so you can begin to know Him as a Father Who is good—Who loves you and wants to protect you. You may have missed it before now. All you have to do is open yourself to it and then pay attention. You will begin to hear what God is saying and see what He is doing. Likely, He will show you something obvious—maybe something visual that helps you understand what you need to know. For example, when Emily had been broken and separated from God for a long period of time, He used conch shells on a beach, a tube of red lipstick, and a slamming door to show her things she has never forgotten. These are things He used to get her to the place she is today—unstuck.
Invite Jesus is about allowing God to heal your past in such a very deep and real way that blocks are finally removed. This happens when you engage with Him in a one-to-one, heart-to-heart capacity, such as in a traumatic memory. Then you begin seeing Him as He really is. Also, you begin understanding why you have previously been hindered. Now you can see yourself and others through Jesus’s eyes.
Additionally, Invite Jesus is about learning to live in God’s Presence in such a way that you are always aware of your spirit’s union with the Holy Spirit. This awareness is the key to overcoming the past and being victorious in the present. It’s what catapults you into your most rewarding, satisfying, and effective future.
“For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:11–13 AMP).
“We must understand what the underlying driving forces of suffering are, to know what to do about it. This is exactly why this unique book, Invite Jesus, is so timely and the revelations worthy of any effort to take hold of them!”

CONSULTATION TESTIMONY
Dearest Emily,
At the age of 62, Spiritually and mentally I think I am in best place I’ve ever been. My physical ailments are taking their time healing. However, I am somehow less bothered by them. I have gained some weight back and am getting up every day and doing the very best I can. I’ve been able to be much more active and involved in life!
I truly believe Satan had me convinced that I was just like my mother, and for some reason I owned that. In reality, I knew I was very emotional, as my mother had been, but nothing like her in my relationships and communication with others. He is very crafty in that way, exploiting our weakest sense of self. I felt as if I was truly paying for the sins of my mother.
Our childhoods certainly can mold our early adult relationships. I was only about 3/4 of my way through your book when we met and have just picked it back up with you dancing in your foyer. What perfect timing God has, as you discuss your relationships with your children and other family members. If our childhood leaves us with trauma and wounds, we will certainly bring those wounds into our adult relationships. I was able to finally recognize this in my late 40’s and ask for forgiveness from those I had hurt. However, I never addressed the deepest wounding from my mother, and it festered for quite some time until it made me physically ill and mentally tormented.
I have asked God to reveal his purpose for me at this point in my life, and to remind me of what my dreams were when I dared to dream!
Emily, once again thank you for spending so much time with me and helping me greatly in my healing journey!
May God continue to bless you by blessings others through you!
Tammy
P.S. Also, please feel free to use our going into the courtroom, as I believe hearing “NOT GUILTY” was what has finally set me free to live a life without shame, fear and overwhelming sadness that goes with believing that God is not happy with who I am! I feel his love every day and it always brings happy tears!
