• You feel what you feel, think what you think, and want what you want because you are moved by what you believe.
• You behave the way you do because of your choices.
• Someone can help you change what you believe to be based on truth and reality, but only you can make loving and responsible choices.
• Yet when challenged to believe the Word of God, you become empowered with life-changing choices.
• When you choose to believe the Word of God, faith arises and change occurs by the grace of God.

Beliefs Feelings, Thoughts, Wants Choices and Actions

When you change what you believe, it will change what you feel, what you think and what you want and thus empower you for better choices. When your beliefs are based on the truth of God and you yield to that belief, then faith becomes active. (“For by grace you have been saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God,” Ephesians 2:8. (NASB)). Faith not only has the ability to change you in the middle of circumstances, but to change the circumstances as well.

Foundational Concepts
IIFBC bases the foundational concepts taught on the tri-part being of man. (“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,” I Thessalonians 5:23.) Man is a spiritual being, with a soul, living in a physical body. Healing and recovery should occur on all levels.

IIFBC uses Biblical faith-based concepts for spiritual restitution. (“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost,” Romans 15:13.)

The Faith Based Therapy is highly effective for mental and emotional rehabilitation along with natural health methods for physical assistance from chemical imbalances.

In Counseling Sessions

• With the help of the Holy Spirit, Faith-Based Therapy™ is meant to be relatively brief in length, yet eternally life changing in effect. Its focus is on solutions, not problems, on the future and not the past.
• Intently listen to and love the client. Let them express their thoughts and feelings. Accept them where they are and relate to them on their level.
• Prayerfully and scripturally give hope and comfort that God has solutions for their present situation and for their future. Lead them to Christ.
• In love, discuss with the client their God-designed needs, strengths, behavioral patterns, and gift motivations from IIFBC’s proprietary assessment. Help them discover that God has designed them with a purpose for their life.
• Explore problem beliefs along with discerning of spiritual, psychological, and physiological areas that would hinder recovery. Address areas when appropriate.
• Present belief choices based on reality and scriptural truth. Help them understand that they are a product of their choices based on their beliefs about themselves, others, and God. Help them see that God is able and willing to take a bad situation and make it an opportunity for their good and for the good of others. This allows them opportunity to come out of their wilderness to become disciples ready for God’s intervention.
• Allow them to make faith-based choices according to the scriptural purpose of God for their life. Change is monitored through client action and accomplishing of established goals. Their decisions are their choices and not your responsibility.

Acquire the Legacy  Counseling realized how effective the Biblical approach to healing was when it's founder was healed of HBP in 1999 by Divine Healing.  She began to counsel, and exhort others to the facts.  During 2004, she became a Certified Faith Based Clinical Counselor, late Certified Personality Mentor and later began to train other Christian counselors.  Dorothy James Wesley joined together with like minds to open Acquire the Legacy  Counseling in December  2005.   This ministry laid it's foundation on the Biblical Healing Model and the concept of ministering to the whole person—spirit, soul and body. This ministry has seen much fruit and growth in its street outreach to those hurting in the community.   The guiding principle of the ministry is found in Luke 4:18-19, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those that are downtrodden, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”   

Whole person ministry is natural to the Founder, Dorothy James Wesley and  sets it apart from other counseling modalities.  Spiritual issues, often neglected, are a primary focus of faith-based counseling and are considered to be as important to healing as ministry to the body and soul.  When we examine the root of the problem it often has formed contrary thought patterns in the belief system.  When the root is exposed and examined and targeted in lieu of  the symptoms, the results are lasting healing and recovery.  

Using the Biblical Truth of Divine healing has always been successful, and resulted in the healing of many.   Relationships, family relationships have been restored, divorces prevented, addictions broken, and many other difficult life problems resolved.
