We've all been there - that place in our lives when we are tired of doing the same old things that profit little to nothing at all. We have developed habits, and these habits have stagnated our spiritual growth, consumed our time and money, and sadly left us unfulfilled. 

Too often we esteemed our habits, especially those negative ones as being a part of our character. Never should we own something negative and refer to it as being a part of who we are. Always being negative is something that should not be comfortably accepted - we are cursing ourselves. Overspending when we're bored is another bad habit - this tells us that we are yet to discover our purpose. Emptiness does not exist because we lack material things but rather because we lack knowledge of who we are, and what we should be doing for lasting fulfillment. 

Let's take it a bit further. How about addressing substance abuse? Whether it is vapes, alcohol, drugs or food. Yes, food because there are many gluttons in the world and in the church at large. Many people eat too much food and it is because they are unhappy with themselves. And for those who resort to alcohol or drugs, it is not always because of sadness or emptiness - they developed bad habits through over celebrating a birthday or goal accomplished, as well as it could be from bad company with negative influences. How about sex? There are some sex maniacs out there! They don't make love to one person, they have sex with many people. There is a difference between love making and having sex. People can have sex with anybody, but love making is for intimacy, expressing passion and connecting for the purpose of bonding. 

I am just touching on a few things that are cycles in our lives and we don't see them as being a form of bondage. Here is how you can learn when deliverance is required. It is when that habit cannot be broken after attempting to stop within ten days. It is when you've done everything within your power to stop and it controls you. When these types of incidences occur, you need deliverance. Why? Because you've lost control of your life and need to regain it. 

Many people attend worship services and bible studies and leave these meetings with their soul still in bondage. Sadly, not every spiritual assembly are concerned about setting souls free from bondage. Unfortunately, too many are focused on the numbers and  filled pews, rather than souls being freed, saved, and sanctified. As the Body of Christ we must return to our primary spiritual assignment, and this is gathering souls for our Father's kingdom. All around us are souls kept in spiritual prisons, held in bondage by bad choices made. As the Church we must be about our Father's business and by the anointing of the Holy Spirit help free those who are in bodage.

If you you feel that your soul is in spiritual captivity and desire to be free, please reach out to us and someone will be glad to counsel you and pray for you. Spiritual imprisonment through bad habits is real. It is not you, it is something controlling you, denying you from being free. If you can't stop it within ten days, it is not a bad habit, it is spiritual bondage and deliverance is required.
