How to Find Freedom

We have a very real enemy who seeks to steal from us, kill our body, and destroy our minds.  In the west, we are blind to the pervasive realism of the spirit world, which allows the enemy of our soul to attack us unimpeded and without consequence. 

The devil doesn’t fight fair, is no respecter of persons, and will absolutely come to you in your darkest hour to take advantage of you.  Demons will make use of any and every door that is open into a person’s life and will open additional doors for associated demons.

The first step in finding freedom is to accept God’s offer of salvation in Jesus Christ.  If you have not made Jesus the Lord of your life, please visit our page How Can I Know God

The Three R’s of Freedom

Repent

Often we are complicit in our bondage.  By sinning or agreeing with the lies of the enemy we are giving them legal right to attack us.  When we repent of, which means to change our mind about, our involvement in the things that got us into trouble, we bring those things under the authority of God.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin (1 John 1:7)

Renounce

Make a verbal announcement that you are rejecting and disowning the sin, curse, lie, or agreement with hell.  Cancel out the right that the enemy has been granted in your life, and tell them that they are no longer welcome, they are evicted, and their access is removed.

Rebuke

Tell the enemy to leave and never return in Jesus’ name.  Tell him that he no longer has the right to occupy space in your mind or your life, and that his right to oppress you is revoked and cancelled by the blood of Jesus.

Pray this with me:
Father, I repent of and renounce all of my participation with Satan and all of his evil works. Lord, I break all agreements that I made with darkness through my sin, disobedience, and idolatry. In particular I repent of and renounce my sin of (speak out any sin currently operating in your life). Father, forgive me and cleanse me through the blood of Christ. I release the dunamis power of your Spirit into my body and soul now, to heal and fill me through and through. I declare my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and darkness has no legal place in me by the blood and the power of the resurrection. I decree I am excellent of soul, and I am walking in agreement with God and His word, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!

Staying Free

Jesus said that when a demon is cast out it will go through dry places seeking a new home, if it can’t find one it will try to re-enter the person that it left.  This means that we need to:

  • close the door that allowed the devil access in the first place.
  • Refuse to enter back into whatever granted the devil a license against you
  • Fill the house that the devil exited with the Holy Spirit

To remain free you need to fill yourself with the Holy Spirit who will work in you to create the character of Jesus Christ.  He will help you walk in the PURITY of God (Fruit of the Spirit) and in the POWER of God (Gifts of the Spirit)
