What realms are there of bondage?

  • physical
    • sickness
    • being oppressed by a stronger person
    • handcuffs, etc.
  • mental e.g.
    • ignorance
    • belief
    • tradition
    • emotion
    • fear and phobia, etc.
  • spiritual
    • sinful nature of man
    • keeping committing sin
    • flesh is a good servant but not a good master
    • curses, etc.

What is the interplay between the realms?

  • Usually the mind is the battleground and determines who wins
  • If the bondage attack comes from the spirit you stop it by dwelling on the word of God
  • If it is hitting from the physical you can check what the Word says about it and you will win the battle

  • People can bring others into bondage without being aware and without being it intentional

How to determine the ways of interventions?

  • The types of interventions depend on the type of bondage and can be categorized as follow:
    • Who is in bondage (e.g. a Christian or non-Christian)?
    • Who is the oppressor?
    • How powerful is the oppressor?
    • What is the method of bondage?
    • Are there spiritual negotiations involved?
    • Who is involved already in helping?
    • What are the instruments used?
    • Who is intervening (God, people, angels)?
    • Are there already stealth operations on-going?

Tips to handle interventions:

  • Unity is Power: Do not fight along !
  • Do not interfere where you are not called !
  • When you help people follow godly principles !
  • When you are helped, check whether its not false help from a frenemy !
  • Be careful helping doomed people: You might go down with them !
  • Rescue can risky !

Our Prayer for you:

  • Rescue is your portion
  • God will maintain your liberty
  • God will secure you from hypocrisy and frenemies.
