How to Come Out of Captivity

Satan and the fallen angles are evil demon spirits.  Their number one focus is to destroy God’s sons and daughters with sickness and disease.  We allow them to destroy us without a fight because we don’t pray or we don’t pray effectively, Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much, James 5:16. 

The Body of Jesus Christ does not address demon spirits and I want to know why not?  Jesus and the Bible addresses demons throughout the Bible.    The subject is ignored even though we struggle with demon spirits 24/7.  Demon spirits like bitterness, unforgiveness, anger, unloving spirt, deceiving spirt, spirit of infirmity, spirit of heaviness, death and dumb spirt, unclean spirits, and especially spirits of fear which does great damage.   God tells us He doesn’t bring a spirit of fear, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind, 2 Timothy 1:7.  That leaves us with one origin, Satan and the fallen angels.  

Top 5 deadliest diseases (globally).  All have a fear factor.  How many times is fear in the bible?

Ischemic heart disease: Also known as coronary artery disease, this is the leading cause of death globally, resulting from the buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Stress/anxiety/fear related.

Stroke: This occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, either by a burst blood vessel or a blocked artery. Stress/anxiety/fear related.

Lower respiratory infections: These infections include diseases like pneumonia and bronchitis, which can be caused by various pathogens and remain the deadliest communicable disease after COVID-19. Stress, anxiety, and fear related.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD):  This progressive lung disease includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which cause long-term coughing and destroy lung tissue.  Stress/anxiety/fear related.

Trachea, bronchus, and lung cancers:  These respiratory cancers are a leading cause of death, with lung cancer being the deadliest form of cancer.  Compromised immune system due to bitterness causing cortisol drip that destroys soft tissue cells.

If fear causes the symptoms above, how should we pray?  Do we pray away the symptoms, treat the symptoms (doctors) or should we pray away the fears causing the symptoms?  It’s not rocket science.  It’s basic biblical doctrine?

Everyone is suffering because of a multitude of evil spirits causing sickness and disease.  Yet we don’t want to talk about evil demon spirts in or out of church.  Jesus regularly cast out evil spirts and instructed all to do the same, and these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons, Mark 16:17.  Casting out demons is not an option according to Jesus and His Great Commission.  We must pray out demons.

We don’t talk about evil demon spirits because it has become off limits for the Boby of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, every sickness and disease is caused by curses of disobedience (sin).  Satan and his fallen angels are there to destroy us with illnesses like:  20 “The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. 21 The Lord will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. 22 The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And your heavens which are over your head shall be, bronze, and the earth which is under you shall be iron. 24 The Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed, Deuteronomy 28:20-24.  God allow this to happen because of our sin. How clear can these scriptures be?  Why do we fail to teach this truth to the Body of Jesus Christ?

We are in a spiritual warfare and we fail to teach each other how to battle against Satan and his fallen angels according to biblical scripture.  This spiritual battle requires us to identify sin and pray effectively throughout the day because Satan attacks us 24/7.  We must read the Bible so we know how to battle Satan and his fallen angles.  The Bible must be read consistently.  Not just once a week or once a month. 

We can’t be one with God if we are not one with His Word which shows us how to be one with God to eradicate sickness and disease.  We lose the spiritual battle because we fail to battle with our power and authority given to us:

Luke 9:1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.  We are the disciples of the disciple of the disciples…….  We must do this!

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Embrace this!

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Be confident!

Luke 10:20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”  We must do what God and Jesus instructed us to do and that is to bring us and others out of captivity of sickness and disease. 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12. It is time for the Body of Jesus Christ to war against evil that is destroying us.  What believer or church is ready to accept the challenge and responsibility to bring people out of captivity from sickness and disease?  God allows us to make choices.  What say you?

Amen and Amen!                                                                                                                            Tony 14-13-2025
