Because we live in a fallen, broken world we all need inner healing. Inner healing is connected to outer or physical healing but it begins in the heart and soul not by focusing on the physical manifestations of the problem.
In Is 61 we are promised that Messiah was coming to "Heal the broken hearted and set the captives free." That is a wonderful promise that was echoed by Jesus in Luke 4 when he claimed the mantle of Messiah. How can we not carry that same call?
How does a heart get broken?
We live in a world where we inherit many types of brokenness, become broken by the ways we are treated by others and by the ways we treat ourselves. The summary of brokenness can be thought of in Four General Categories that affect every arena of person hood, body, mind, spirit, relationships, family, feelings, etc: Bondage, Rebellion, True Moral Guilt and Shame.
Bondage: Areas of my body, soul, family and spirit that have been crushed, lied to and formed that are contrary to God's purposes and intentions.
Rebellion: Times when I want to follow my will and ways rather than God's.
Shame: A sens that I have no Identity as a child of God and therefore no Inheritance in his kingdom now or in eternity.
True Guilt: The justice of Holy God toward all failures intentional and unintentional, known and unknown.
Each grows and prospers from generation to generation. Any that are not removed in one generation will descend to the next.
