White and stark against the horizon, and iceberg reveals nothing about what is hidden below the waterline, the same way we offer only small glimpses of our heart and spirit to others. But what is concealed beneath the surface is often a lifetime of woundedness.
In Luke 4:18, Jesus affirmed the promise of Isaiah 61 that the Messiah would be uniquely anointed by God to bring healing to the brokenhearted and set captives free. Discover how to experience this freedom and the emotional healing that awaits you through listening and inner-healing prayer. By exposing the hidden lies that keep you enslaved, you can supernaturally experience God's healing touch for the emotional wounds of your past.
This God-focused, step-by-step guide also can equip small groups, churches, and others to facilitate a listening and inner-healing prayer ministry for the increasingly wounded people of our generation.
