RISE UP IN NEW STRENGTH
Luke 4:14-30
Millions of Christians are oppressed because of spiritual ignorance concerning Satan’s strategies and methods of attacking and oppressing them. There has been a lack of revelation, not only regarding the work of the enemy but also concerning the power and authority we have today over all the power of Satan and his evil principalities.
Not understanding the need to detect and resist the evil spirits oppressing and exercising authority over them, many have become victims. Instead of exercising dominion over Satan and his principalities, Satan and his demons are exercising authority and dominion over them. Satan is oppressing God’s people today in their minds, bodies, finances, on their jobs, and through circumstances. But God is exposing the strategies Satan is using in his attack against the Church and we are not ignoring his devices!
Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit and sent by God to deliver and set free all those oppressed by the devil. He has destroyed the works of the devil. We have been anointed by the Holy Spirit to stand in Christ’s stead, confront the power of Satan, and set free all those who are oppressed by Satan.
It is time for you to rise up in new strength to exercise authority over the unclean spirits Satan will use to try to oppress you. There may be spirits oppressing your mind, continually bombarding you with lusts of the flesh, tempting you to sin.
A spirit of fear may be tormenting your mind to such an extent you are bound by it and constantly living in fear. Spirits of worry and doubt may be attacking you until your mind is in a constant state of turmoil. Spirits of heaviness, hopelessness, frustration, or depression may be coming against you until you have reached a point in your life where you feel you cannot go on — where you are worn out, tired of resisting, tired of doing spiritual warfare. RISE UP IN NEW STRENGTH
But the bonds of oppression over God’s people are going to break! Just as God delivered Israel out of the hands of her oppressors, He will deliver His people today out of the oppression of Satan and his demon forces. Christians who have been tormented in their minds by spirits of lust, adultery, fornication, and sexual perversion are going to be delivered and set free! RISE UP IN NEW STRENGTH
Christians who have been under heavy oppression by the enemy — who feel as if they have been pushed down, spiritually repressed, who have no freedom in their spirit, no joy, no peace, who are unable to freely worship and praise God — are going to be set free! The dark cloud of oppression is going to lift and they are going to walk in new freedom and liberty in the Spirit. RISE UP IN NEW STRENGTH
The key to being set free from oppressing spirits and walking in victory over them is in knowing the power and authority that is yours over Satan and his demon forces and in using it! The moment you feel a spirit of oppression, don’t hesitate or be fearful in dealing with the demons that are attacking you, your family, friends or loved ones. Take authority over them and cast them out, in the Name of Jesus.
Make this declaration:
I am anointed by the Holy Spirit to stand in Christ’s stead, confront the power of Satan, and set free all those who are oppressed by Satan.
