A word from the Lord:
The human experience of captivity without Me is one step from hell, when the soul is not free. The spiritual experience of captivity with Me is love, joy and beauty. For fear is torment, but love is liberty.
The tools of the enemy are designed to steal, kill and destroy. But I have disarmed him, de-toothed and declawed him. The Lion of Judah is now the one roaming, looking to liberate the captives and bring them safely home.
No negotiation required but the taking back of what is His own, through the exercising of authority and the delivery of the final blow.
“The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”
1 John 3:8b (ESV)
