Captive No More: Freedom From Pain, Shame and GuiltSample

# Spiritual Oppression > For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. > Ephesians 6:12 While not biblical, I thought about Sun Tzu’s quote, and I paraphrase, “Know thy enemy, know thyself.” This is true for people who are struggling against something beyond themselves, a family member, a co-worker, or others. Let’s not play games here; the enemy is the devil, and he is out to crush you. God’s word describes him as a lion looking to devour you. So, it is important to know the enemy. Actually, our lives depend upon it. Spiritual oppression is real, but God’s salvation is eternal. ## Call To Action 1.
