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. To be free and maintain
freedom, we need to be taught the Word of God. To be free and maintain freedom,
we need to attend worship services regularly. To be free and maintain freedom,
we need edifying fellowship with fellow True Believers.
