Perhaps you feel helpless, too, as the result of an
addiction. Do you turn to alcohol to numb the pain of being sexually abused as
a child? Is overeating how you deal with your unmet emotional needs? Does
looking at pornography, or going to strip clubs, fill a void in your
life?
After all, God is in the business of setting captives
free. In fact, Christ began His public ministry by quoting the words of the
prophet Isaiah when He said: “He has anointed meto proclaim good news to the
poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of
sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,” (Luke 4:18).
