6 Reasons Why Many People are Still Bound and Wounded

I want to exhort you today on liberation and healing of the body and soul. I believe that it is the will of God to liberate and heal everyone, but many are still bound and bruised and sick and afflicted and wounded and hurt because of the following reasons;

1. The love of the truth is not in them:

You know the Bible teaches that we shall know the truth as we walk in the word of Christ and that truth shall set us free. Your freedom and liberation is in the truth you know. You will be liberated and healed the very moment you find the truth. It is, therefore, important that you strive to know the truth so that that truth will set you free.

Strive to know the truth

Many are still held captive and wounded because the love of the truth is not in them. They don’t love the truth; they hate the truth and even when they are being told the truth, they rather choose to believe in vanity.

2. They are blinded and ignorant of the word of God:

The Bible teaches us in Proverbs 4:22¹, that the word of God is health and healing to the bone and marrow of those who find it. Even though God is able to heal, many are still bound and wounded and sick because they have not found the right word. Many are reading and watching and listening to the word of God but not the right word. There is a word in the word of God which is for you.

Jesus came in the volumes of the books to do the will of God. He was totally free and healthy because He knew what word was His word.

We read in the scriptures how Josiah led a revival and a revolution after reading the scrolls found in the temple.

Find the word of God

It is time for each of us to arise and find the word that is given to us.

3. They are in denial:

The Bible tells us in James that until we admit, repent, and pray for one another, we cannot be healed (James 5:13-18²).

We must admit, repent, confess and pray for one another for healing. You must be accountable to someone and bear another up.

Do you remember the story of Job? He was healed immediately he prayed for his friends. Remember Abraham? He was also liberated when he prayed for the household of Abimelech.

When we forgive and release others, we find liberation and healing.

4. They have not received an anointing and prayer of faith from the elders of the church:

One of the major medium of liberation and healing in the Body of Christ is the anointing and prayer of faith by the elders. Many are still bound, sick, and wounded because they feel too arrogant and proud to call for the elders to anoint and pray for them. You must be able to humble yourself and receive the anointing and prayer of faith of your pastor.

5. They don’t know and eat the right food:

The fork and knife have killed more people than guns. To know what food is good for you and to eat it is a master key to liberation and healing. Apostle Paul taught Timothy to avoid water and drink wine instead; that was how Timothy survived his often infirmity.

6. They think it is by might and power:

Listen, it is not by might, it is not by power; it is by the mercies and the Spirit of the Lord; that is why we are not consumed. If you really want to be free and restored, then seek for the Spirit and mercy of the Lord.

Listen! None should be sick. I speak healing and liberation over your life. Stay blessed and stay safe.

I love you

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. ↩︎
