DELIVERANCE FROM THE SPIRIT OF AFFLICTION
Affliction is a frequent experience common to all humans as a result of their ignorance and carelessness. Affliction comes to plague your divine purpose and progress. Affliction comes as a plague but your attitude towards it determines if it will invade your life or not. The Bible says “give no room to the devil, and also resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7). There are things as a child of God that you should desist from doing; there should be a difference because you are an Ambassador of the Kingdom of God. Affliction can only come to you when you associate or mingle with things/people you should have nothing in common with. Affliction is very deadly and dangerous. Sickness, lack/poverty, stagnancy, demotion, etc are examples of affliction in people’s life. The enemy uses it to destabilize you and it will also bring constant chaos to your life and family.
Beloved, the good news is that our Heavenly Father is able and mighty to deliver us from them all in Jesus Name amen. (Psalm 34:19).
