DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIBERATION AND INNER HEALING

1.2 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIBERATION AND INNER HEALING
To ensure the restoration it is necessary that the person is being ministered in liberation and
inner healing. It is therefore necessary to clarify the differences in these ministries and the
need within the restoration.
These ministries were developed within the Christian Church, but many times due to
ignorance, errors in the form of ministration, instead of bringing peace and freedom to the
person who is looking for God, they confuse and worsen their spiritual and emotional
situation. For this reason, it is important to know what the differences and needs which are
making these ministries closely related and to become part of the restoration.
It is necessary to remember and to be clear that the human being is made up of body, soul
and spirit and that the three areas work in an integrated manner: If an area is damaged, that
will negatively affect the other areas.
From the spiritual point of view a person possessed under the rule of an evil spirit; also
manifest an upset emotional behavior and would suffer in his body. This person must be
ministered in prayer of liberation according to the power that Jesus Christ gave to his
Church (Luke 10: 19).

In this action the evil forces cease to operate with the power of the Holy Spirit in prayer and
through the Word of God. The time required for this can be instantaneous or short
according to the need that is set in the spiritual struggle.
As the person is under the total domination of demonic oppression, is unable to free itself.
You need God's servants. However he is aware of his situation and in his emotional area
(soul) feels fear, anguish, shame, anger. The servants must be discrete, wise and operate in
love; do not make a public spectacle of the ministering because this will affect the image
and concept of the person within the Congregation. In addition, should be taken into
account that the released person should continue in the inner healing Ministry to carry out
its restoration, but... What is inner healing?
Inner healing is a result, in the soul of the person, of a process of renewal of his mind and
heart that brings inner peace, will relieve him of the painful memories and allows him to
restore his present life according to the Will and God's plans for his life.
The inner healing comprehends healing emotions and harmful feelings that bring
depression, anxiety and lack of peace, due to painful memories not healed that also distort
the thoughts and creates lies themselves to justify the experience or suppress it.
Different to the demonic liberation, in the inner healing the active participation, decision
and perseverance of the person are essential and required and an indefinite time is needed
where works the Holy Spirit, guiding, clarifying and revealing the truth that makes you free
(John 8: 32).
This is a gradual process of "remove the hawthorn" and planting, in the thoughts the Word
of God and in the heart God's perfect love.
The Word for the sick minded; love for the wounded heart full of hate and resentment due
to the pain of the past.
40
All people need inner healing because we are all injured; but not all need demon release. In
both cases manifestations such as anger, apprehension, depression, anxiety can occur but
are not always due to spiritual causes. Most of time is due to the fruits of the painful
memories of the unresolved past; therefore God's servants should be careful in the way of
ministering.
Many mistakes which worsen the situation of the person are made in this regard. See the
following examples:
A person, who has suffered depression for a long time, is looking for God and is liberated
from a spirit of depression. The person returns home and depression worse. Then, feel that
God has abandoned him that his last hope does not exist, or that it is unworthy and there is
sin in his life. This situation makes it fall into a deeper depression and lost confidence in the
power of God. The problem is that this person needs to be ministered in inner healing and
not liberation and needs to be guided towards his restoration. Similar errors occur when is
ministered for demonic liberation a person suffering from the disease of epilepsy.
This disease presents demonstrations similar to the boy of the silent spirit (Mark 9: 17-22):
it seizes him, breaks down it, throws him, grind teeth and is consumed. One can also
mention the case of people with hormonal disorders manifesting severe anxiety or
depression due to physical causes. Do not many children have traumas that in adulthood
will prevent them to rely on the "Father", and would fear to be ministered in the "blood" of
Christ? And this is because the painful memories also create to the person images that
cause fear and are distorted from reality. It is logical that all these people need ministering;
but it is not always that they are possessed by an unclean spirit. Of course Satan uses these
situations to oppress the person, but it is not the same oppression than possession.
41
In conclusion, everyone who needs to be liberated must be guided in inner healing and
restoration, but not every person who needs inner healing needs to be ministered as a
demonic person. It doesn´t matter what the situation is, it should be necessary to emphasize
the authentic way of God´s love, through the acts of the servants of God who need
understanding, wisdom and above all having been called by God to each Ministry. Because
God calls and prepares, through their own experience (2 Corinthians 1: 4)
