Lose The Shackles
Luke 13: 16
And ought not this woman..., whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on...?
Here we have a story of Jesus who was preaching in the synagogue ( which is the church for us now a day) and in the midst of the congregation there was a woman who had been there for eighteen years with an infirmity. The amplified Version of the Bible puts a description saying that a demon of sickness had caused her to stay in that situation for 18 years.
We see that she was in the church for that long yet bound by satan and left in a position where her mobility was strictly limited and she was unable to straighten herself. When Jesus saw her He did not leave her in that condition even if it was on the sabbath. The Bible says that He spoke to her and released her from that oppression from Satan.
From this example it is important to understand that the enemy and his kingdom are at work, to keep people under captivity, through several practices.Though witchcraft satan has mandated his servants ( witches, and wizards) to manipulate humanity. Magic and witchcraft are real and the existence of witches and wizards is a reality. Since there manipulations is to enslave people with bondages, it is important that we know how the enemy work and realize that even in the church people can be bound by satan like the lady for eighteen long and miserable years.
You infirmity might not be physical, but it can be financial, in your health, in your relationships, at your job, and the list can be very extensive. The good news is that Christ came to set the captives free and the Bible says that whom the son set free is free indeed. God wants you free fro the oppression of the enemy though any form of manipulations and enslavement.
Do you feel oppressed by satan ?
Is there an area that you’ve been struggling with for a long time and the situation hasn’t changed ?
Do you feel stuck, or for sometimes your finance, marriage, relationship, school, business, work, and much more have been under Satan’s manipulation?
Today is the day that Christ will break the bondage and release you from satan’s oppression.

Prayer
Lord according to Isaiah 8:9 may every association of witchcraft in my church and my life be broken in Jesus name. Lord may any activities of witchcraft and satan over my church and my life be consummate by the fire in Jesus name. Dear Lord, may the fire of the Holy Spirit be in permanence moving on my behalf 24/7 over witches and wizards in my life and my church in the name of Jesus. May any and every root of witchcraft in my life and church be consummated by the fire in the Name of Jesus. I declare freedom, I declare liberty, and I command satan to loose his hold over my life and church in the mighty name of Jesus. Father you said whatever you will bind on hearth will be bind in heaven. In Your mighty mane I proclaim that I am released from the oppression of the enemy and released from this infirmity. Amen
