Introduction: Do you feel bound down with a heavy spirit of oppression or depression? How can you get loose? Is it guilt from unconfessed sin? Is it because of a poor decision? Is it because of some attachment to satanic influences?

Is it because of mind-altering drugs? Is it because of past unresolved conflicts? Is it because of not being real or being deceived? Is it because of dishonesty?

1. Look at some of those recording in Scripture that have been set free by Jesus:

* Woman bound down by Satan (Luke 13)

* Gadarene demonic (Mark 5)

* Saul of Tarsus (Acts 9)

* Mary Magdalene (Luke 8)

* James & John sons of thunder (Mark 3)

* Paralytic (John 5)

* Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10)

* Nicodemus (John 3) 

2. Others were set free by the power of Jesus Christ working through His disciples:

* Cripple man (Acts 3)

* Elymas the sorcerer (Acts 13)

* Damsel with a demon (Acts 16)
