5 Biblical Principles to Set You Free from Oppression

Are you dealing with the same struggle over and over again, feeling stuck in your desperation?

Perhaps you just keep going back to that addiction. You stay sober for a week, then have a drink on a lonely Saturday night. You’ve been on track with your eating habits, then one bad day sends you into a spiral of emotional eating.

My friend, that’s called bondage. It’s very real. 

The dictionary defines bondage as “slavery or involuntary servitude” or “the state of being bound by or subjected to some external power or control.”

When we give into our struggles over and over again, we’re being bound and controlled by the enemy. That enemy is the devil and according to 1 Peter 5:8, he “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” Each moment we continue to stay in bondage, we leave a door open for the devil to control our lives.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
