Jesus Came to Set the Captives free. Shouldn't We Do the Same?

Deliverance Ministry Article

A deliverance minister is a person God has specially prepared for this work: teaching, ministry, and biblical counseling. As Christians, we should all be setting the captives free. 

There are special situations where it takes more experience than the ordinary Christian would have to deal with someone coming out of witchcraft, deep into the cult, a new age where a person experiences demonic attacks, etc.

The work of the Gospel is supposed to be done as a team (1 Cor 3:5-15). Some ministers are experts at teaching, preaching, pastoring, administering, organizing, counseling, praying, etc. 

set the captives free scriptures

It was a big part of Jesus' ministry. He brought deliverance to many people such as Matt 18:18-20 - bind, loose, and agree; Mark 16:15-20 - Go ye into all the world (the church), cast out demons; Luke 4:18-20 - preach deliverance to the captives - sets at liberty them that are bruised; Luke 7:21-23 - Minister to the "blind, lame, lepers, deaf, dead, and the poor;" Acts 8:5-7 Preaching the Word - unclean spirits came out - healing by deliverance.

If you are in bondage and cannot get free, you can try other things that could help you get free:

1. Repent for your sins, receive the Lord's forgiveness, and forgive yourself. Don't allow the enemy to condemn you when you have repented to the Lord.
2. Fasting is a great way to break bondages from the enemy. God's word says in Isaiah 58:6-7 “Is this not the fast which I chose, to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and break every yoke?"
3. Be in the Word every day. Start reading and memorizing the Word. The Word is like water that washes you clean. It also renews your mind

4. Watch your thoughts when tempted to sin. It takes seven steps to sin James 1:13-15

13 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

What causes a person to sin? Entertaining the thought that gets conceived. The trick is to stop the thought and cast it down by 2 Cor. 10:5. Change your thought. That leads us to Step 5.

5. Thanksgiving and Worship: Start remembering the good things the Lord has done for you. Give Him praise and thanksgiving. That will get your mind off the sin issue and refocus on the goodness of the Lord. Then, you will not want to sin.

One thing to remember is you may fall again. Dash to the Lord, repent, so when guilt, shame, or accusation comes your way, you can tell the enemy you are forgiven. Don't receive the guilt. Second, forgive yourself.

The entire bible is based on these three things: 1. Love God, 2. Love Others, 3. Love yourself. That means forgiving yourself.

If you are still in bondage, stuck, tormented, or broken, you may need some help and receive deliverance.

Whenever there is any breach in these three areas, a feeling of separation from God happens. The bible is all about love. We are His creation. I've seen too many people who cannot forgive themselves for their past sins. We must appropriate the Word of God of truth to break free from bondages of self-hatred.
