What Is Inner Healing?

Jesus demonstrated such compassion toward people through his comprehensive ministry that included preaching, teaching, healing and deliverance. The emotion that we should naturally expect to find most frequently attributed to Jesus is no doubt compassion. He accepted those that others rejected, He removed shame and defended their honor. He set people free from the influence of evil spirits. He exposed deception and showed people spiritual truth. Jesus not only did those things but He also healed wounded hearts. Don't think of compassion as weakness! It is so not weakness.

"When we understand that salvation does not give instant emotional health, then we will understand an important insight into the doctrine of sanctification. It is impossible to know how "Christian" a person is, merely on the basis of his outward behavior. Isn't it true that "by their fruits you shall know them" Matthew 7:20? Yes, but it is also true that by their ROOTS you shall understand and not judge them. There are certain areas of our lives that need special healing by the Holy Spirit. Because they are not subject to ordinary prayer, discipline, and willpower, they need a special kind of understanding, an unlearning of past wrong programming, and a relearning and reprogramming transformation by the renewing of our minds. This is NOT done overnight."
