THE MOMENT ONE TURNS TO THE LORD WITH AN OPEN HEART, THE VEIL IS LIFTED AND THEY SEE. 2 COR 3:16
WE CAN RATIONALIZE OUR PAIN & LACK AND DEVISE WAYS TO COPE..
OR WE CAN INVITE HOLY SPIRIT INTO THE DEPTHS OF OUR HEARTS TO EXPERIENCE FREEDOM.

At Behold Him, we facilitate Spirit led experiences through the vehicles of listening and healing prayer to move truth from intellect to our hearts. Knowing something doesn't change us but experiencing it does!

ABOUT US
My name is Alyssa Flaten. I ama wife, mother, visual artist, pastor, evangelist, author, educator, prayer counselor, and follower of Jesus. Jesus has healed my heart and transformed my life and its an honor to help others see and experience the transforming and healing beauty of Christ. I love multiplying the beauty of Jesus through inner healing and discipleship!
I love to learn! I graduated with an AA in Nutrition from Covenant Life Bible College and a BS in Art Education at Minnesota State University Moorhead. I am and Elijah House graduate and instructor for the Elijah House School of Heart Healing. I graduated from the Sunodia School of Healing Prayer and interned for Sunodia Prayer Counseling. I am a credentialed pastor and evangelist through the Assemblies of God and serve as a leader and teacher for Jesus School in Ames, Iowa.
I belong to Scott; and together, we founded Intentional Worship Ministries. Scott cultivates the heart of worship as a pastor at Lifepointe Church, in Ames, Iowa. Lifepointe isn't just our weekend thing--it's our family that we pursue Jesus with; and we would love to have you visit--there's always room at the table.
Behold Him is a non-profit ministry and an initiative of Intentional Worship Ministries(a non-profit 501(c)(3)) and reflects the same heart of IWM to return to first love devotion to Jesus by seeing Christ rightly so we can live and love with whole hearts.
WHAT IS PRAYER COUNSELING?
When our heart is wounded, we can rationalize our experiences or slap a scripture on it, but our wounds continue to fester at a heart level and this seeps out into our daily lives. In prayer counseling, we partner with the Lord to walk us through our pain and invite Him to uproot those things that hinder wholeness so we can experience the finished work of the cross and His resurrection life in our everyday lives.
WHAT IS A HEART INTENSIVE?
Carve out intentional time to pursue wholeness and transformation during this 2 day getaway. Healing prayers and teaching on generational curses, unhealthy bonds, identity lies, negative expectations and decisions, word curses, trauma, and deliverance, combined with process art, are woven into this intensive. You will leave having experienced a healing prayer model that you can take home and incorporate into your spiritual disciplines along with a visual record of what God did in your heart.
WHAT IS A CREATIVE MINISTRY EXPERIENCE?
Hosted at our location, a location of your choice, or online, these experiences are formatted as either one day events or a series of 6-8 classes and include Biblical teaching by Alyssa and space to respond to the Lord through listening prayer, journaling, and/or art making. Art supplies, course books, Biblical teaching, art tutorials and demonstrations are available for the format you choose. No artistic experience needed!

TESTIMONIES
These experiences gave me a richer view of God. I learned to create out of worship, dig deeper into the Word and even how to express suffering through art. With meaningful guidance, I learned a new way to spend time with our Heavenly Father. -Devin
I've followed Jesus most of my life but felt like I was a prisoner in a dark cage until I experienced Jesus in my prayer sessions. I have joy like never before. -Kelly
I was craving an artistic outlet, and I came away with that plus a greater hunger to dive into the Word. I have been learning more about myself, my walk with God, and how to creatively represent what God is revealing to me.
-Liz
My prayer counseling session was a three-way conversation between God, myself, and my prayer counselor. I didn't know Jesus could be that real. I've said He cares about every detail of my life, but now I believe it in my heart. -Sam
I have done counseling and other healing models. This prayer counseling went deeper. It peeled away another layer of hurt, addressing lies, speaking truth over me and leading me into repentance. God is so good...He wants His children healed and free! I love that I have the scripture and notes from our session to refer to again and again. -Linda
"Joined to Jesus" was more than I expected. Yup, I’m learning fun art techniques. But I’m also learning how God sees me, & that’s simply life changing...-Sara
I was stuck in unbelief and feelings of unworthiness for decades. Now I can hear His gentle voice and see myself the way He does. -Mark
Working with Alyssa brought color to my grey. -Amanda
I felt loved from the very beginning of the Heart Intensive. Knowing there were intercessors covering us in prayer was amazing! -Anne
One-on-one sessions occur over zoom or in person where your counselor will help you sort through the contents of your heart, hear the Holy Spirit and see the Lord and His revelation of truth in order to walk into healing, wholeness, and freedom.
