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
Awareness of Bondage
- People can be in bondage without knowing
- People can bring others into bondage without being aware and without being it intentional
- There are “frenemies” who behave like friend but there intention is to put you into bondage

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.
