Going back to the painful memory in the presence of the Risen Lord Jesus, and letting Him speak the Gospel into the heart brings truth, healing, peace, and forgiveness. People, even Christian people, are affected by what is said and done to them. Over the years, if hurtful words and actions are not brought into the light of Christ they fester like emotional cancers. Eventually they surface in problems such as anxiety, depression, irresponsible behaviors, addictions, compulsivity, inability to be intimate, chronic anger, eating disorders, sexual confusion, etc.
Inner healing goes to the root cause of the symptoms.
The Holy Spirit is able to pinpoint the source of the emotional affliction , and speak the truth to the part of the soul that is wounded or bound. As the healing occurs over time people begin to notice that they are being freed from what has held them captive, some for many years. While inner healing does not change what happened to a person, it does allow God to heal the damaging emotional and spiritual effects of what was done.
