Healing the Brokenhearted Releasing Captivity

Originally aired on The ByteShow podcast 7-23-09, Pastor Doug Riggs gives some very important and practical advice taught in the scriptures for those who need healing - whether physical, mental & emotional, spiritual, or otherwise.

Does the Bible show us a way out from the effects of the damage of trauma, abuse and mistreatment? How does one get free of these effects?

Withholding forgiveness from those who have offended and hurt us withholds the forgiveness of our heavenly Father for our own offences against Him.

In this message, Doug challenges us in the body of Christ to be available to God to minister to those bound up who are unable to help themselves escape from oppression and captivity. Like Jesus exhorting those witnessing Lazarus' resuscitation to unbind him and loose him from his grave clothes, we should be available to do the same for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

One of the things I appreciate about this message - and so many others over the years of Doug's pastoral teaching of the Word - was his ability to break down so many scriptures and give us the actual meaning behind the words used. It's like going from the old black-and-white TV to color.
