Be Loosed!

“So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” -Luke 13:16

We’ve learned from this Scripture that sickness is bondage. Next, we saw that sickness came from Satan. Now let’s look at Jesus’ question: “Ought not this woman…be loosed?”

Satan had kept this woman in bondage for eighteen years. But thank God, Jesus said she ought to be loosed!

Jesus was also saying that any person whom Satan has bound with sickness and disease ought to be loosed. And Jesus is in the business of loosing people.

What qualified this woman to be loosed from this satanic bondage? Was she a real saint? Had she done something special? No, Jesus said she ought to be loosed because she was “a daughter of Abraham.”

“Well, where does that leave me?” you may ask. Galatians 3:7 says, “Know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.” According to this Scripture, we are sons and daughters of Abraham. We have been grafted into his family through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3:29 says, “If you are Christ’s then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” What is that promise? Well, one of the promises is that we can be loosed from every bondage of the enemy!

CONFESSION:

Because I’m a child of Abraham, I am loosed from every satanic bondage. I not only enjoy the same rights and privileges as Abraham did, but I also live under a new and better covenant, established on better promises – including the promise that by Jesus’ stripes I am healed!
