"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18

Liberated From the Occupying Power
What tree will you eat from? Those seeking liberation from the power of what keeps them captive can be free only by the Holy Spirit. The freedom Jesus spoke of was not financial, political, or physical as many think today. Mankind’s greatest threat is not the exterior systems of the world. Our sin is our greatest enemy. Sin enables us to look at everything from a self-centered perspective. Satan came to the Garden and said you shall not surely die. Many Christian institutions and leaders are leading people astray! Many are being led away by the doctrines of demons that focus on self. This is even in many modern books in a Christian bookstore and even in mission’s trips! None of these will free mankind from sin. Man cannot free himself from sin slavery. Man must be saved through repentance! Only repentance can free one from the snare of the Devil. Jesus came to restore mankind to a pre-fall state. This takes a cooperation of human and divine will. There must be a cleansing. This begins when one admits their sin and comes to God in repentance. Will we obey God or put ourselves first?
