He Came to Set the Captives Free

1. Satan's Kingdom is a Real, Organized, and Deadly Force.

This cult is extremely secretive. No written records of membership are kept.

A hidden empire. The Brotherhood, a Satan-worshiping cult, operates with extreme secrecy and a rigid hierarchy, infiltrating all levels of society from the poor to the wealthy, including professionals like doctors, nurses, and government officials. Members lead double lives, appearing as "good citizens" while engaging in dark practices. This organization is a direct fulfillment of biblical prophecy regarding the end times.

Ritualistic atrocities. The cult practices human sacrifice several times a year, most often involving babies born out of wedlock to cult members, whose births and deaths are never registered. Animal sacrifices are monthly. These acts are believed to grant members more power and favor with Satan, who is worshipped as the "Master" or "destroyer."

Elite power brokers. Within The Brotherhood exists an elite society called The Sisters of Light, incredibly powerful witches whose roots trace back to ancient sorcerers. They can inflict disease and death without physical contact, using demons to achieve their aims. This hidden power structure underscores the profound spiritual battle at play.

2. Entry into Satanism: Deception, Blood Pacts, and Demonic Possession.

The selling of my blood was to give Grace more power, more activity and a higher position within the cult.

Marked from birth. Elaine's journey into Satanism began at birth when her blood was sold by her impoverished mother to a high priestess, Grace, in exchange for medical care. This act consecrated Elaine to Satan, opening her to demonic possession and influence from infancy, shaping her life with pain, loneliness, and rejection.

Lured by power. As a teenager, Elaine discovered unusual powers and was recruited into The Brotherhood by a seemingly friendly peer. She was promised acceptance, fame, and wealth, and the ability to perfect her innate strength. This deception masked the true nature of the cult, which she initially perceived as a "church camp."

Forced allegiance. Elaine's initiation involved brutal coercion, including physical torture and psychological torment, to force her to sign a blood contract dedicating her body, soul, and spirit to Satan. This pact led to the physical manifestation of powerful demons, like Mann-Chan, who entered her body, promising wisdom but delivering agony and control.

3. The Unseen Battle: Witchcraft Infiltrates Everyday Life and Institutions.

Rebecca never dreamed that her walk with Christ in that hospital would cause such shock waves in the spirit world that the forces of darkness would become enraged.

Hospital of horrors. Dr. Rebecca Brown, upon starting her medical residency, sensed a brooding darkness at Memorial Hospital. She witnessed unexplainable patient deaths, a high incidence of "ICU psychosis" where patients reported seeing demons, and an unusual resistance to the gospel, culminating in hospital policies banning evangelism.

Targeted spiritual attacks. Rebecca discovered that a respected night nurse, Helen, was a powerful witch who used her position to "usher" critically ill patients into their "next life" by calling on demons. Rebecca's prayers and spiritual interventions against these practices enraged the forces of darkness, leading to organized witchcraft attacks against her, exacerbating her chronic illness.

Divine intervention and healing. Despite being targeted and nearly killed by witchcraft, Rebecca was miraculously healed through intense prayer and fasting by her home church. This experience solidified her understanding of spiritual warfare and prepared her for a direct confrontation with Elaine, the head witch who had orchestrated the attacks against her.

4. Demonic Doorways: How Sin and Occult Practices Grant Satan Legal Access.

Any dealings with the occult, no matter how lightly or briefly, is a doorway.

Open invitations. Any involvement with the occult, from casual horoscope reading to serious witchcraft, opens a "doorway" for Satanic power and demonic infestation, regardless of whether the person is Christian or not. These doorways provide Satan with legal ground, according to God's word, to exert influence.

Common doorways include:

• Occult practices: Ouija boards, tarot cards, fortune tellers, ESP, astral projection, meditation (blanking the mind), water witching, magic, levitation, martial arts, yoga.
• Substance abuse: Use or abuse of street drugs or repeated drunkenness.
• Trauma & abuse: Child abuse, severe emotional/physical trauma, rape, violent sexual assault.
• Sexual sin: Fornication, incest, homosexuality, and other perversions, as demons can be passed through sexual intercourse.
• Inheritance: Demonic bondage can be passed down through generations due to ancestral sins or occult involvement.
• Modern deceptions: Occultic role-playing fantasy games, biofeedback, and rock music (which is described as Satan's music, designed for mind control and demonic summoning).

Closing the doors. To break free, individuals must confess their involvement in these sins, ask for forgiveness, and command Satan and his demons to leave in the name of Jesus, claiming the cleansing power of His blood. This process is crucial for true deliverance and spiritual freedom.

5. Jesus Christ's Absolute Authority Over Satan and All Demons.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Unquestionable power. Jesus Christ possesses absolute power and authority over Satan and all his demons, a power He delegates to His committed followers. This authority is the sole means by which individuals can be truly delivered from demonic bondage and protection from spiritual attacks.

Deliverance in action. Elaine's deliverance from powerful demons like Legion and Mann-Chan, who had controlled her for years, demonstrated Jesus's power. Through prayer, scripture, and direct commands in Jesus's name, demons were forced to identify themselves and leave, often violently, proving that Satan's contracts are nullified by Christ's blood.

Divine protection. Even when facing direct threats from Satan and his human servants, believers who fully commit to Jesus are shielded. Rebecca and Elaine experienced miraculous protection from physical harm and demonic torment, often through the intervention of angels, when they stood firm in faith and obedience to the Lord's commands.

6. Total Commitment to Christ: The Non-Negotiable Price of Freedom and Warfare.

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

The cost of discipleship. Jesus explicitly states that following Him requires a total commitment, a willingness to "take up your cross daily" and even "hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also." This means prioritizing Christ above all earthly relationships and possessions.

A spiritual transaction. Salvation is presented not as a casual acceptance, but as a complete "sale" or "commitment" to Jesus, where one becomes His property, a "debtor" bought with His blood. This total surrender is what God demands and what Satan fiercely contests, leading to inevitable spiritual warfare.

Suffering and persecution. True commitment to Christ guarantees persecution and suffering, both physical and spiritual, as one becomes identified with Jesus, whom the world hates. This "no suffering, health and wealth" doctrine is labeled as a "doctrine of demons," as it contradicts Christ's teachings and the experiences of faithful believers.

7. Spiritual Warfare Requires Active, Informed, and Obedient Engagement.

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.

Beyond the physical. Christians are called to be soldiers, not pacifists, engaging in a relentless spiritual battle against unseen forces. This warfare is not against human beings but against demonic principalities and powers, requiring spiritual weapons and strategies.

Essential tools for battle:

• Total Mastership of Jesus: Every area of life submitted to Christ.
• Dealing of the Cross: A continuous process of crucifying the "self-life" and its desires.
• Willingness to Sacrifice: Readiness to lay down one's life and loved ones for the Lord's will.
• Hearing God's Voice: Learning to discern the Holy Spirit's guidance in one's spirit and mind.
• Absolute Mind Control: Taking every thought captive to Christ, rebuking Satan's injected thoughts.
• Scripture Memory: Hiding God's word in the heart for immediate use in battle.
• Authority and Obedience: Submitting to God's delegated authority and obeying His direct commands.
• Respect for the Enemy: Never underestimating Satan's intelligence or power, always relying on Jesus's strength.

Praise as a weapon. Praise is a powerful weapon against Satan. When believers praise the Lord, a brilliant light shines in the spirit world, causing demons to flee and lose strength, even in the midst of intense suffering and depression.

8. Satan's Strategic Plan to Destroy Christian Churches from Within.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Infiltration and deception. Satan's primary goal is to render Christian churches lukewarm and ineffective, often by infiltrating them with his servants—satanists who pose as devout believers. These "grievous wolves" gain credibility through false professions of faith, including speaking in tongues (which demons can mimic), and active participation in church activities.

Eight-point plan of attack:

• Profession of Faith: Satanists pretend to be saved to gain trust.
• Build Credibility: Become active, reliable members, often using financial contributions from The Brotherhood.
• Destroy Prayer Base: Undermine and disband unified prayer meetings, replacing them with less effective programs.
• Spread Rumors: Use gossip to discredit pastors and true Christians, creating division.
• Teach False Doctrines: Infiltrate teaching positions to promote doctrines like "health and wealth" or "no judgment," which weaken faith and commitment.
• Break Up Family Units: Create programs that separate family members within the church, weakening foundational bonds.
• Stop Accurate Teaching About Satan: Suppress any discussion of Satan's existence or tactics, keeping believers ignorant and vulnerable.
• Direct Witchcraft Attacks: Target key church members and leaders with spiritual attacks causing illness, confusion, and discouragement.

Vigilance is vital. Christians are urged to be vigilant, study the Bible, and challenge any teaching inconsistent with God's word, doing so with love and respect, remembering that the goal is salvation, not exposure.

9. The Human Spirit and Soul-Power: A Key to Occult Abilities and Vulnerability.

Our spiritual bodies are the link between us and the spirit world because the spirit world cannot be seen or measured with anything physical.

Tripartite beings. Humans are composed of body, soul (conscious intellect, will, emotions), and spirit. The spirit has a "spiritual body" that can separate from the physical body, allowing perception and interaction with the spirit world.

Soul-controlled spirit. Satan's goal is to teach humans to regain conscious control of their spirit bodies through their souls, a practice known as "soul-power" or astral projection. This enables them to:

• Perceive the spirit world and communicate with demons.
• Leave their physical bodies to travel and perform seemingly supernatural feats.
• Inflict harm on others (e.g., throwing people or objects, causing illness).

The danger of "soul-power":

• Opens individuals to overwhelming temptation and constant awareness of Satan's kingdom.
• Leads to rapid physical aging and exhaustion due to the drain on the body.
• Is often facilitated by "power demons" who link the soul and spirit.
• The imagination is a key stepping stone to developing this link.

God's design for the spirit. God's will is for the human spirit to be under the total mastership of Jesus Christ, not controlled by the soul. The "sword of the Spirit" (God's Word) severs the soul from the spirit, preventing conscious control and ensuring the spirit is solely directed by the Holy Spirit.

10. Demonic Illnesses and Divine Healing: Discerning the Source of Affliction.

Not all illness is demonic, but a significant amount is.

Distinguishing causes. The Bible clearly distinguishes between purely physical illnesses and those caused by demonic influence. Demons can inflict illness by introducing bacteria and viruses, or by directly damaging organs at a molecular level, often leaving no detectable physical cause for medical professionals.

Demonic tactics:

• Physical pain: Causing severe, medically unexplainable pain (e.g., chest pain, headaches).
• Mental and emotional distress: Inducing depression, confusion, or psychosis, often by injecting negative thoughts.
• Physical incapacitation: Causing comas, paralysis, or other severe bodily dysfunctions.

Physician's role in spiritual warfare. Christian physicians are called to seek the Lord's guidance through prayer and fasting when faced with undiagnosed or unresponsive illnesses. Deliverance, anointing with oil, and faith-filled prayer are crucial for healing demonic afflictions, often in conjunction with medical treatment.

Love and patience in healing. True healing and deliverance require patience and love from ministers and caregivers. Jesus would not "break a bruised reed," implying a gentle, persistent approach. Rushed or public deliverance attempts, especially for deep-seated issues, can cause further trauma and hinder complete freedom.

11. The Call to "Stand in the Gap": Interceding and Suffering for Others.

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

Intercessory warfare. "Standing in the gap" means interceding for others, fighting in the spiritual realm to break demonic forces that blind the unsaved or oppress believers. This involves asking God to allow one's spirit to engage in battle on behalf of another, often without conscious awareness of the spiritual fight.

Bearing burdens. This spiritual intercession is a profound act of love, akin to "bearing one another's burdens" and "laying down one's life for a friend." It can involve experiencing physical and emotional suffering—fatigue, pain, depression—as one's spirit body takes on the stress and wounds of the spiritual battlefield.

The physical toll. Engaging in spiritual warfare through one's spirit body can lead to a "peculiar drain" on the physical body, particularly a loss of protein. The book suggests that God commanded Noah to eat meat after the flood, knowing the spiritual battles humanity would face, and that a high-protein diet is crucial for spiritual warriors.

Unseen sacrifice. Those who stand in the gap may not always be consciously aware of the spiritual battle, but the physical symptoms serve as an indicator. This sacrifice, though often unseen and unacknowledged by others, is a powerful act of obedience that can lead to breakthroughs in the lives of those being interceded for.
