The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.. Psalm 116:3

The psalmist´s circumstance was quite unfavorable. He suddenly found himself surrounded by the bonds of Satan’s nature. When a man who does not truly know the Lord is in such a situation, even the desire to pray or praise the Father is gone. How to proceed in the hopelessness of being happy again, turning around and having dignity again? The only way is to use the authority of the Name of Jesus.

It’s amazing how Satan can touch our soul and take our vigor. Now that is because we stop watching and praying. It is our duty to take care of the blessings revealed to us by the Scriptures. Thus we will honor the Almighty. If someone gave you a house and someone broke in, would you go to your benefactor to plead for the intruder’s removal? Chances are you would ask for government intervention, right?

The actions of the devil have involved many saints in frustration because they did not watch over their right to be free indeed. Jesus said: If the Son truly sets you free, then you will be free (John 8:36). Therefore, lay hold of your prerogative in Christ, rebuking all evil and demanding its departure. Then believe that this has already happened. After all, whoever has authority orders only once.

The Master also said, “Come to me, all you who are tired and oppressed, and I will relieve you” (Mt 11:28). Whoever presents his need to the Lord by following His teachings, rebuking evil, and believing in the fulfillment of promises, can trust because he has been heard. The enemy will never undo what the Son of God has done and declared. We have been reached by the Truth: Jesus Christ.

Hell’s anxieties are greater and worse compared to the natural ones, which arise when we are distressed because of life’s worries. The temptations that come from the evil realm are filled with Satan’s hatred for us and so clenching us that bad situations seem unresolved. However, we were crowned with grace and mercy by God!

When the works of darkness take hold of us, we soon think of ending our lives or wish our death to come before the Lord’s planned time. However, it is necessary to resist in the Name of Jesus and use God’s power against the adversary. In doing so, joy will reign in us again. In minutes, days, hours, months, or years, oppression will end, but it depends on our faith.

Under the direct action of the devil we find difficulties and sorrow, but by obeying the Word there will come within us a force capable of giving us liberation. Start your transformation now. Listen to the Bible’s statements about your position before all things.

In Christ, with love,
