Chris.
Setting people free from their bondage is a very excellent and necessary ministry. This is not just some kind of "witch hunt" ministry prayer over someone. Yes, sometimes ministry with compassion may be needed, but there is much more to setting people free from their bondage than that. In order to be free and to maintain freedom we need to be taught the Word of God. In order to be free and to maintain freedom we need to attend worship service regularly. In order to be free and to maintain freedom we need to have edifying fellowship with fellow True Believers.
