We do a lot of work in prisons around the world. We meet many people, and see people go from one extreme to the next. Some were so bad in the past, but through faith and the power of God they get free.
But one thing that we have also witnesses is that many people leave the prison and become physically free, but remain imprisoned and enslaved by many other problems.
Back many years ago there were human slaves here in the United States. Nowadays slavery doesn’t exist in the sense of rights and equality. But the enemy doesn’t live by those rules. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. Sickness, divorce, emptiness, etc are all forms of slavery. And God see’s when His people are enslaved and wants to set them free. His word says,
“I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians” Exodus 3:7-8
The Lord said I came down to take them out of the hands of the Egyptians. And God wants to take you out of the hands of this problem you are having, out of the hand of this cancer, this divorce, a life without meaning. God wants to take you out of a life oppressed by the devil where you take one step forward and ten steps backwards.
You are free but yet you are a slave. You have been a slave of these problems. For many years you carry this problem in your life and your life doesn’t change.
But I have good news for you. There is a place that solves it all. Mt. Sinai! And in December we will take your life to that holy place and cry out to God for a solution to your problems. It’s time for you to truly free.
May the God of the Bible bless all of you!
