Our enemy(s), when afraid of us and our unified power, defeats us when they put us into slavery. My enemy wants me to be enslaved so I can’t function fully free. He will use food or alcohol, fear or anxiety, TV or computers to put me into a bondage that handcuffs me somehow. After that handcuffing he is hoping that I become fully surrendered and ineffective because of my bondage, or that my bondage grows and becomes many bondages and that I am basically a slave. I am ineffective when I forget who I am and the power that I have, especially when bonded with my brothers and sisters to fight. I must walk circumspect and not let anything entrap me. I will have no master but God.
When I (we) are caught in a bondage, most often God sends a deliverer – a person. God doesn’t need a deliverer (person) because he is THE deliverer. Yet God chooses to use people (most of the time) to work through. I think, I can do this on my own. I can get over __________ (stressing out or whatever). Maybe so, but maybe God wants to use someone to help me – to lead me out of that bondage. Am I ready to receive help from another flawed human being? Am I ready to help another? I am ready to be used as the deliverer? Or even after an encounter with God will I continue to make excuses of why I shouldn’t be used?
God, keep me from bondage, keep me humble and use me as your instrument of deliverance.
