John 7:38  He that believeth on me,  as the scripture hath said,  out of his inner most being  shall flow  rivers of living water.

    A donation of $800.00 is appropriate for the resident training program. No additonal donations are needed considered for two (such as a husband and wife team) or more taking the training at one time.  My church usually has a mission house available for the intern to stay in during the training and only asks that a donation ($150.00 per week) would be made for the use of the utilities.  See: Appointments.   Of course, the discipleship must be scheduled as available.

    The training will be intense and even somewhat exhaustive to the individual.  The individual will need to bring his Bible (KJV) and writing material.  I would also suggest that the individual read as much as the material as possible that I have online before he comes for training.  During the weeks of discipleship,  there will be detailed explanation of Scriptural principles of counseling, one on one discussions, some role playing, and time for questions.  The individual will receive many handouts and view various videos to support the material that is being covered. I will provide a 1 1/2" 3 hole, loose leaf, note book.  The experience will be anything but boring!  Many colorful story illustrations are given for explanation of principles.

    At the end of the training, the individual will receive an certificate, certifying that he has completed the residential training through Whole Person Counseling by Basil Frasure, Ph.D.  Note: Since, by state law, I practice "pastoral counseling," the certification does not legally qualify one to practice "professional counseling".  However, the certification can be proudly displayed as reference for training. Please see the sample Certificate below.

    Since I have much more material than available than I can possibly cover during the two weeks, I will prayerfully cover what I sense that the Holy Spirit would have me cover.  Some of the basic topics would be:

    1. The Scriptural approach to counseling.
    2. The nature of man (spirit, soul, and body).
    3. The salvation through grace.
    4. Understanding principles of authority.
    5. Understanding family relations.
    6. The healing of the whole person (spirit, soul, and body).
    7. Deliverance ministry.
    8. Place of prayer in counseling.
    9. Dealing with various mental and emotional disorders.
    10. How to get a clear conscience.
    11. Seeing issues from God's perspective.
    12. Cleansing for the counselor.
    13. How to overcome depression.
    14. Scriptural guidelines for eating.
    15. How to overcome struggles with anger.
    16. Living a victorious life.
    17. The Holy Spirit and counseling.
    18. Overcoming Fear.
    19. Overcoming depression.
    20. Parent and children issues.
    21. Scriptural view of finances.
    22. Breaking generational curses.

    Note: specific disorders (such as manic-depression, attention deficit disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, borderline personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder) will be discussed as the topics surface during the weeks.  My purpose is to provide the basic tools that one can bring resolution to whatever issues arise.  One should also understand that God has gifted me to teach the principles of counseling, but only the Holy Spirit can direct the individual in the counseling session.

    No individual should come without first prayerfully considering the matter!

Dr. Frasure,

    I wanted to take a minute to let you know how grateful I am that you took time away from your busy schedule to personally teach me the principles of Christian Counseling, and more specifically the concept of Whole Person Counseling.  Two years prior to taking the week-long training, I had already made a faith commitment to God.  However, my confidence and conviction in the Holy Spirit grew exponentially during the week of training.

    As you may recall one of my concerns was that I was not sure that I would be able to get clear directions from the Holy Spirit.  In one of my first counseling sessions after the training, I was called to help a fellow Christian who was suffering deeply from hurt, I was able to call upon the Holy Spirit to give me scriptures that would help her.  We bowed our heads and prayed together and when I opened my eyes the Holy Spirit directed me to Matthew 18:15-20.  From there we read on through verses 21-35.  These scriptures helped us to understand how Jesus felt about us harboring sorrow and hurt.  The scripture helps us understand that we are God's children and united in Christ and that we have a Biblical Reference that addresses our circumstances and that the guidance is laid out for us to follow in the Word of God.  She was helped immediately by this direction.  I will continue to work with her to help her uncover other wounds that she has carried for years.

    Dr. Frasure, I just wanted you to know how good it makes me feel to know that I am able to help people in crisis.  Your prophecy that I will lead a ministry of love, forgiveness and understanding - and through that cleanse the sins of people is coming to pass also.  I will be helping local churches in their counseling efforts to heal the hurts of their congregation and re-affirm their faith in Christ.  The Spirit of the Lord rings within my soul and I feel so wonderfully blessed.  After digesting the tons of information you gave me during the week, I came to the conclusion that through the biblical principles, the concept of Whole Person Counseling and the direction of the Holy Spirit, I am able to offer real, lasting solutions to help people. That makes me feel good! Thanks for your divine guidance. I could not write a check big enough to pay you for all the help and wisdom that I received during that very fast week of Disciple Study.

Brothers in Christ
David Earl Walker,
Whole Person Counselor

    In college at the age of 22, I hit bottom and quit drinking and drugging.  I entered secular therapy for three years.  Mentally I grew more and more out of control, ending up in a psychiatric hospital after a manic episode that lasted 4 months.  A year later I was in the hospital again, this time for two months.  The psychiatrist told me that I would be in and out of psychiatric units for the rest of my life.  Newly married and not truly knowing Jesus through the fullness of His Spirit, this was probably the lowest point of my life.  I was beaten down, humiliated and filled with shame.

    When I returned home, God began to speak into my heart and I recall Him telling me that I was to utterly and totally depend on Him…that I needed Him for my very sanity.  This began my road to complete healing and deliverance through the precious blood of our Lord.  That was 1987.  Today, I am filled with inexplicable joy and peace.  My mind and emotions have been totally restored.  Today, Jesus rules and reigns in my heart…not my emotions.  God's word says "Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4).  I took God up on His promise and I purposed myself to delight in Him every minute of every day through the reading of His word, times of personal and corporate worship and praise and Godly teaching.  He is a mighty God and He promises never to leave or forsake us.

    For those of you who may sense God's calling on your life to minister to others through the living Word of God, let me tell you about how He used the Residency Training Program with Whole Person Counseling to equip me for this call.

    Several years ago I began to ask God to reveal to me how He would use me.  Through praying and meditating on His Word He began to show me how he would have me work with those who were in need of emotional healing.  I learned through my own life that our God is a mighty God, capable of truly setting us free from anything that hinders us in our walk with Jesus.  Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised" (Luke 4:18).  If we think that our situation is too far gone for the Lord to set us free or deliver us then we call Jesus a liar.  The Word also says, "Surely he has bore our grief and carried our sorrows. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).  Again, we can not, as followers of Jesus say that anyone is hopeless, including ourselves…to do so would make null and void the Word of God.

    Residency training with Basil was truly a life altering two weeks.  God impressed upon me each, day how truly "alive" and life-giving His word is.  Basil was able to layout simply before me how to walk someone through the truths of the word through establishing their identity in Christ.  He was able to teach me the simple truths about healing of emotional wounds and deliverance as laid out by God Himself.  Basil also guided me through the word to demonstrate how generational curses have been broken through the death and resurrection of Jesus, and how to teach others these truths and declare them as truth in their own lives.  We covered more topics than I can possibly go into hear, but what was so special was that it was just the pure, simple and unadulterated word of God.

    Since I have been home I have relied heavily on the truths I have learned.  God has not yet revealed the details of where He is taking me, but I know that whatever He tells me to do I am equipped….because He equipped me.  I am thankful that Basil takes his direction from the Holy Spirit and is obedient to the call of God on his life so that I had the opportunity to come under his mentoring.

    Praise be to the living God, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
