Luke 4:18 (NKJV) 18 \u201cThe Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed<\/span>;<\/p>\n

Liberty for the captives. That’s<\/i> one of the things Jesus proclaimed He came to earth for.<\/p>\n

And yet, so many people today are in captivity, bondage to so many things.<\/p>\n

Drugs, alcohol, lust, adultery, fornication, pornography, tobacco, bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, strife, demonic spirits and a very long list of other things that could be named are all things that we need to be set free from.<\/p>\n

These are the very things that Jesus was talking about; the very things He set people free from when He walked the earth.<\/p>\n

And that freedom is still available to us today. We just have to want<\/i> it and seek<\/i> it!<\/p>\n

So if you’re in captivity to anything, including the things listed above, stop what you’re doing, right now<\/b>, and reach out for help!<\/p>\n

Get free today! Don’t wait any longer. Every day that goes by is another day that you could be living in freedom, not in bondage.<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ is able to break the chains that bind you. He is able to set you free, to live the rest of your days as a free man or free woman, not as a slave to the things that bind you and hold you prisoner.<\/p>\n

God is waiting. He’s reaching out to you. Turn and run toward Him. Let Him embrace you and set you free today.<\/p>\n

Today is the day!<\/p>\n
