Freedom for the Captives
One of my favorite authors, Dr. Myles Munroe, used to describe humanity before our encounter with Jesus as being in a prison bound by the chains of slavery from the Kingdom of Darkness. We were suffering severe tyranny and overwhelming oppression from the Kingdom of Darkness and from the defeated Satan and all of his demons. God Himself as Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, came to the earth and burst open the door to our prison. He released and He destroyed all of the chains that had us bound. We are free and we have been given the keys to the prison.
We must destroy the prison that has other humanity bound and confined. We must declare freedom to all who are oppressed and liberty to those who are bound. It is not enough just to experience freedom for ourselves. We must be about our Father’s work of destroying all of the works of our enemy, the defeated Satan. Our relationship with our Creator and our God is not passive. We must engage and we must destroy all of the works of our enemy, the defeated Satan and all of the works of the Kingdom of Darkness.
As my wife and I traveled to more than sixty countries where we have shared the Good News of the Kingdom System of our God, we would identify the Mountains of influence in our society and share a curriculum from our Constitution that assisted each person attending to ask the Holy Spirit God, and to know in which mountain they were designed to birth the Kingdom for themselves and for humanity. In all of these different countries, without exception, the mountain most complained about by those participating in our program was the Legal System and Government.
The common descriptions used for Government and the Legal Systems of each country were invasive, ruthless, corrupt, evil and not representing or providing justice for their citizens. Legislators and those who practice in the Legal Systems have given themselves and their System unbridled and unchecked authority and power. It has nothing to do with justice and with doing what is right. They can crush and they can destroy anyone without cause or without evidence.
The Stronghold on this Mountain has used the corrupt systems of this world to gain for himself and for those who follow and work in his system unreasonable and illegitimate power over humanity. It is wrong and we must identify their practice as being wrong by calling the actions out and unseating them from their throne over Government.
