Discovery & Recovery

Discovery and Recovery are the deep work of Holy Spirit renewing the mind — a reprogramming of the soul, which encompasses a person’s thinking, choosing, and feeling. This process involves exchanging worldly perspectives for God’s, applying biblical strategies to overcome sin’s habits that aggressively hunt and haunt us like a predator.

  • When NHE uses the term ‘discovery’, we mean — trusting Holy Spirit to open hearts with God’s Word for help and healing.
  • When NHE uses the term ‘recovery’, we mean — trusting Holy Spirit to exchange our self-life for God’s Life.

Discovery and Recovery are received through a surrendered heart. As we war against sin’s struggles and habits, with tactical and weaponized prayer, alongside biblical gameplans and strategies, we embrace Jesus’ Life, bask in His Light, and bath in His Love — He becomes our new reality. Our help and healing of broken hearts — of disordered thoughts, destructive choices, and damaged emotions.

As Holy Spirit uses God’s Word to help and heal the soul, discovery and recovery explode into embracing, ensuing, and enjoying Jesus’ Life as one’s true identity — new reality. This Find True Identity Discipleship, this tactical and weaponized prayer, these biblical gameplans and strategies offer studentX an opportunity to receive and experience newness of Life!

The Prize: Our ultimate discovery of & recovery through God’s Life:

  • overwhelms the heart with surrender — not I but Christ in me
  • overpowers the heart with true acceptance, belonging, and competence (God’s ABCs)
  • overcomes the enemy, the world, and the flesh — the me, myself, and I syndrome (the self-life)

Consider God’s Word:

Romans 12:1-2, from The Message
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you:
Take your everyday, ordinary life—
your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—
and place it before God as an offering.
Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him.
Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.
Instead, fix your attention on God.
You’ll be changed from the inside out
(your thinker, chooser, feeler transformed!).

Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it.
Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity,
God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Ps 121:1-2, from the NLT
I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth!

Ps 107:20, from CEV
By the power of His own word, He healed you and saved you from destruction.
