When Healing Feels Hidden – But God Is Still Moving

There are seasons where everything looks fine on the outside, but inside, our souls feel tangled. We smile through service, show up for others, and yet quietly wrestle with emotions we can’t always name. If that’s you, I want you to know something real: the Holy Spirit has not overlooked your internal battles.

The Bondage of Invisible Chords

We often talk about transformation as if it’s a single moment. But more often than not, healing is layered. It unfolds through truth, through grace, through deep Holy Spirit encounters that pull us out of cycles we didn’t even realise were keeping us bound.

In ministry, I’ve met so many people—faithful, loving people—who carry invisible cords tied to their past. Old relationships, broken trust, words that were never healed. These soul ties may be hidden, but their fruit is not. Anxiety, self-doubt, guilt, obsessive thoughts… These are not your portion in Christ.

Jesus came not only to save your spirit but to restore your soul.

Maybe no one’s ever told you this before, but you can love God and still have soul wounds that need healing. You can be filled with the Spirit and still need to renounce an old emotional tie. And guess what? God is not "unaware" of your journey. The Lord is present in it. We don’t walk through this alone.

Healing Restores Life

So how do you begin that healing journey? Pause. Let your heart be still...

1. Start by inviting the Holy Spirit to reveal what’s been buried. Ask, “What am I still tied to that You want to free me from?”

2. Be honest with yourself and with God. Healing begins where truth is welcomed without shame.

3. Speak it out. Confess what needs to be broken. Forgive where there’s pain. Renounce any tie—emotional, sexual, spiritual—that was never God’s design for you.

4. Replace the lie with God’s truth. You are not forgotten. You are not used goods. You are not bound to your past. You are deeply loved and seen.

5. Allow a safe, Spirit-led community to walk with you. Healing isn’t meant to happen in isolation. Let others pray with you, speak life over you, and remind you of who you are in Christ.

Let this truth settle in: You don’t have to carry what Jesus died to set you free from.

If you are in the middle of your own healing process, I want you to know: you’re not broken. You’re on a path of healing and restoration.

Keep walking out your healing toward wholeness.
