FREE INDEED!
Real freedom is spiritual. It is an escape from the oppression of Satan.
To OPPRESS is "to exercise dominion or authority against"¹. Therefore OPPRESSION is the act of using authority to harm others.
OPPRESSION is the trademark of the devil. Sickness, disease and many other evil manifestations are the evidence of satanic oppression².
LEGAL OPPRESSION
This is when Satan oppresses those that are under his authority. Satan has authority over every one who is not a child of God. Legal oppression can also be as a result of sin [including fear, unbelief and disobedience to the word of God].
ILLEGAL OPPRESSION
This is when Satan oppresses those who are not under his authority. It is when Satan oppresses the children of God. In this kind of oppression the victims are either ignorant of the truth that Satan has no authority over them; or they fail to exercise their God given authority³ against Satan and his work.
FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION
With His death on the Cross, burial and resurrection, Jesus broke the authority of Satan over humanity. In the sight of God Satan no longer has the authority to oppress us without our permission. In order to redeem us, Jesus willingly took our place in all oppression.
"He was OPPRESSED, and he was afflicted, YET he OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he OPENS NOT HIS MOUTH." (Isaiah 53:7).
Jesus was not under the authority of Satan. He had no sin. He had no fear. YET He didn't open His mouth in oppression. He chose to die under ILLEGAL oppression by Satan; so that those who believe in Him should LEGALLY open their mouths against satanic oppression.
SUBMIT TO GOD
Those who believe in Jesus Christ become the children of God. Satan no longer has authority over them. As a matter of fact they now have authority over Satan; because every child of God has been delivered from under the authority of Satan¹.
To believe in Jesus Christ is a CHOICE to come out from under the oppression of Satan. And to reject Jesus Christ is a DECISION to remain under the oppression of Satan.
THE NAME OF JESUS
All the authority of Christ is now resident in His name. If you are a child of God the name of Jesus also belongs to you. Then you can resist all oppression by Satan². You should not stay quiet anymore under satanic oppression of any kind. Satan only understands the language of resistance.
TIME TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH
Reject everything you can identify as oppression in your life.
“In the name of Jesus my Lord and Saviour, I resist you devil! No more oppression in my life. I reject all your oppression.”
