When Jesus first announced his "job description" in Luke 4:16-20, he quoted Isaiah 61.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the city of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planning of the Lord, that might be glorified.
As you can see, the Bible mentions multiple forms of inner healing:
Bind up the brokenhearted, set the Captives free, opening prison to them that are bound
Some of you in here are being held captive, while others an in prison…What is the difference?
Prison – You are imprisoned because you have been convicted – Sentenced for you something that you actually did. Yes you had the abortion which opened the doors for a spirit of death to come in, you…did the crime and now the enemy has gained legal rights to imprison you within. You see some of us have subscribed to sin. It was not an impulse. WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE DOING.
Those of you are captive: You were seized. Something has willfully gained control over you life and is holding you in bondage. And this may not have even been your fault. Rape, ancestral sins of the father or mother and now your are held captive to the consequences. In a sense, some of us are wounded, but still winning!
Comfort all who mourn
Provide "the oil of gladness instead of mourning
And provide "a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
The entire chapter focuses upon inner healing. The fact that Jesus quoted this passage when he began his ministry emphasizes the importance of inner healing.
