The whole world is in the power of
satan, the evil one because he has captured their imagination. He
has grabbed hold of their mind and now he rules over them. People
believe what the devil tells them and that is why they are in
bondage.
Let me explain to you how this works. I
once visited a safari farm and on this safari farm there were two
huge lions inside a cage. This cage was made of thin diamond mesh
wire. I said to the owner:”Are you not worried that these lions
will break out because if they give that fence one clout with that
huge paw they will destroy it.” He laughed at me. He said:”They
don't know that they can do that because I put them in that cage when
they were still little. They then tried to get out but because they
couldn't they still believe that they cannot get out.” Those lions
could easily break that wire IF THEY JUST TRIED, but because they
believed that they couldn't get out, that is why they didn't try.
And that is how the devil has captured the whole world. He lies to
them and people believe what the devil tells them.
For those who believe in Jesus Christ,
NOTHING will be impossible. Believers say that it is impossible to
stop sinning. If Jesus has made you free, then you will be free. We
read in John 8:34”Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to
you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 35“The
slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain
forever. 36“So IF THE SON MAKES YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE
INDEED.” If Jesus has made you free, you will be free. If you have
accepted Him as your Lord and your Master then you will be free.
The apostle Paul writes in Romans
6:12”Therefore DO NOT LET SIN REIGN IN YOUR MORTAL BODY so that you
obey its lusts, 13and do not go on presenting the members of
your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but
present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14FOR
SIN SHALL NOT BE MASTER OVER YOU, for you are not under law but under
grace.” The grace of God sets us free from the bondage of sin and
from the lies of the devil IF we obey Jesus Christ. If we do not OBEY
Him, we remain in bondage.
If you have accepted Jesus YOU ARE
FREE. You are not in bondage of sin any more. You are free to go. You
are like that lion, you can just take down the fence BUT you have got
to submit yourself to Jesus and then the devil will flee from you.
We read in James 4: 7”Submit
therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. 8Draw
near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you
sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Be
miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into
mourning and your joy to gloom.10Humble yourselves in the presence of
the Lord, and He will exalt you.” If you humble yourself before the
Lord and you repent then the power of God will work through you, you
will have POWER OVER SATAN and you WILL BE FREE. But you have to
BELIEVE in Jesus, you have to OBEY Him. You have to REPENT and submit
yourself to Him and then YOU WILL HAVE POWER TO OVERCOME SATAN.
NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU if
YOU BELIEVE! We read in Matthew 17:19 Jesus said “truly I say to
you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to
this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and
NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU.” If you believe in Jesus
nothing will be impossible for you.
Sin will not be master over you. Fear
and anxiety will not be master over you. If you believe in Jesus and
submit to Him YOU WILL TELL THAT MOUNTAIN TO MOVE AND IT WILL MOVE,
because you believe. But if you don't believe and you believe satan
and his messengers and other people, and what the doctor says, and
what the psychologist says, and what satans preachers say from the
pulpits, you will stay in bondage; because they say:”We are all
sinners.” I AM NOT A SINNER! Jesus Christ has set me free and
because He has set me free I have got power over satan, I have got
power over sin and I say to that mountain. “In the Name of Jesus,
MOVE!” AND IT WILL MOVE because I believe.
If you BELIEVE in Jesus , you will be
free. If you are a child of God you will have authority over satan
and you will not be in bondage of sin. You will not believe his lies.
But if you are in bondage it is because you do not believe Jesus, you
are captured by satan.
Believe in Jesus, submit yourself to
Him, OBEY Him and YOU will tell that mountain to move, but YOU HAVE
TO TELL IT TO MOVE. Nobody else will do it for you. Jesus will not
take you out of that cage because. He has told you you are free, YOU
ARE FREE TO GO! But if YOU don't get up and GO you will remain in
bondage. You have to take those steps of faith and START WALKING in
the Name of Jesus. YOU have to rebuke satan in the name of Jesus IF
you have faith.
Submit yourself to Jesus, resist the
devil and he will flee from you. Speak to that mountain and it will
MOVE.
May Jesus bless you.
