Receive Healing, So You Can Heal Others
God wants to work through you, but first He must heal you!
You were not designed to destroy or sabotage yourself or others. Embrace personal healing for your brokenness, so you can be a blessing to the world.
A message from Markita: "You were given creative power when the Creator made you. However, trauma from abuse, loss, and abandonment can damage our souls (thoughts, emotions, and will). In Western society, we are often taught to move on after intense pain, and most people expect us to do just that. This leads to pretending we are okay when, in reality, we are far from it. It also may compel us to adopt false personas or engage in destructive behaviors to distract ourselves and others from the pain we are concealing.
"God doesn’t want you to pretend. He desires for you to face the truth: you have been hurt and you have hurt others. While this truth can be difficult, it doesn't have to define us or dictate our choices. It also doesn’t have to continue. Personal healing and transformation address the sources of our pain and propel us into our purposes authentically.
"The challenge, however, is that we cannot heal ourselves, and transformation is impossible without healing. Just like a brain surgeon cannot perform surgery on herself and a therapist cannot counsel himself, we cannot mend the trauma done to our souls or break destructive cycles alone. We can, however, release them to God for His healing and transformation. When we do this, He exchanges our pain for purpose, weaving it all together for His good in our lives and in this world.
"In this season of my life, everything I do is a result of triumphs I've experienced after pain or serious challenges. Nothing came easily for me, but God taught me to bring my pain and issues to Him. He has revealed that He is using everything I've ever gone through to empower me to help someone else. He wants to use you in the same way, but first, you must come to Him.
"If you don't have a personal relationship with God, prayerfully consider receiving salvation through His Son, Yeshua (Jesus). The section below elaborates on salvation in Messiah and how it reconciles you to God. After this, you can surrender to God everything for which you need healing and allow Him to transform you. Additionally, consider joining me in my Impact Healing Movement to embark on your own transformational journey of personal healing and to define your healing mission for the world.

The Walk of Salvation
Salvation: To be 'saved' is to be set free from bondage to sin. 'Sin' encompasses everything that is not aligned with God's will for our lives, leading to destruction, even if the effects are not immediately apparent. Being 'saved' also implies liberation from the consequences of your sins, which include separation from God and His goodness. When we are saved, we are released to increasingly reflect God's image each day, a vital aspect of our transformational journey. This is God's perfect plan for each of us.
Our God is perfectly loving, and in His mercy and grace, He sent His Son to pay the price for ALL of our sins—the sins of every person who has ever lived. Through His sacrifice, we can receive salvation, which brings deliverance from destructive lifestyles, personal healing, and freedom from demonic oppression. However, the choice to accept this sacrifice and receive salvation through Messiah Yeshua (also known as Jesus Christ) belongs to each of us. Yeshua is honored by many names across cultures, including 'Jesus,' but we reclaim His original identity by calling Him by the name given to Him at birth, affirming His true nature, just as He affirms ours.
Receiving salvation in Messiah Yeshua transforms every aspect of our lives and restores the world around us. If you wish to embark on this journey of spiritual growth and receive salvation in Messiah Yeshua today, simply pray the Prayer of Salvation aloud while genuinely believing in your heart.
Prayer of Salvation: Heavenly Father, I come to You in prayer asking for forgiveness of my sins. I confess with my mouth and believe with my heart that Yeshua is Your Son. He died on the cross so that I might be forgiven, reconciled in my relationship with You, live abundantly on earth, and dwell eternally in Your Presence. I believe that Yeshua rose from the dead, and I ask You to come into my life now, be my personal Savior, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Empower me to repent of my sins and worship You all the days of my life. Your Word is truth, so I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that I am born again and cleansed by the Blood of Messiah Yeshua! In Yeshua's Name I pray, Amen!
Walking with God: If you prayed the Prayer of Salvation aloud and believe in your heart, you are SAVED! This is not the end of your journey; it is just the beginning. This journey of salvation is intended to foster spiritual growth and is not meant to be undertaken alone. We wish to pray for you and support you in your Salvation Journey.

A Journey of Self-Discovery
A Message from Markita: "Receiving salvation in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) initiates your journey of personal healing for your soul (thoughts, emotions, will). However, to fully walk out your healing and transformation, you must also discover who you are in God. I encourage you to make a decision to explore your true identity in Him.
"Throughout life, countless voices and influences have aimed to define your sense of self, and I don't want to be just another voice in that crowd. Instead, I wish to serve as a guide on your transformational journey to self-discovery and share my own experiences that led me to a deeper relationship with God and fulfilling my purpose.
"In my signature talk, 'True You,' I emphasize that you are multi-faceted. There are many sides to who you are. When others see just one aspect of you, it’s easy for them to assume they know you entirely. This can lead them to try to push you into an identity that suits their needs. While some people may manipulate, many do this unintentionally through their compliments and criticisms. Although we require feedback (especially constructive), those opinions significantly influence how we perceive ourselves. To truly discover your authentic self, it’s vital to evaluate the words that have shaped your identity the most.
"I recommend spending a season alone, whether for a week or a few weeks, dedicating most of your day to being with yourself—not just by yourself. Being ‘with yourself’ is a conscious choice that fosters personal healing and growth, whereas being 'by yourself' can feel isolating when undesired.
"During this time of self-reflection, write about who you believe you are, or record an audio note. Set a timer for a brief exercise, like 3 minutes, to express your thoughts without the chance for correction. Afterward, review what you wrote or said. Are these your honest reflections? Would you prefer to embody a different version of yourself? What strengths do you highlight? Are they genuine strengths, or are they simply defense mechanisms? Do your gifts and talents come forth in your description, or are they yet to be developed? If you find it challenging to identify your strengths, gifts, and talents, I invite you to prayerfully consider my Bible-based video coaching program, Discovering Your Divine Design, which supports your spiritual growth.
"To transform yourself, you must change your influences. Describe who you'd like to become, including the strengths, gifts, and talents you wish to cultivate and potentially monetize. Intentionally seek out people and environments that will positively influence your growth and challenge you to improve.
"Sounds straightforward, right? Unfortunately, it’s one of the hardest undertakings—changing ourselves. Fortunately, our Creator provides daily revelations of our true identity as we walk with Him. Choose today to listen more to your inner voice and allow space for your own thoughts and emotions to flourish. Pay attention also to the whispers of God's voice, guiding you toward what is best for your path. If you struggle to hear God's voice, consider seeking counsel from a man or woman of God, like myself. To connect with me, please fill out the form below."
