Imagine the most beautiful gift you could ever receive – complete freedom, free from the chains of oppression and sin. That's exactly what God has given you.
Jesus came to earth and gave his life for you, so you could live unbound. It's through his blood that you're completely free. Now, it's up to you to walk in that freedom he's given you.
You were once enslaved, living in darkness, but Jesus redeemed you with his precious blood, making you a child of the light. When he sacrificed his life, he showed his incredible love and gave you the privilege of being free from the evil spirits that try to enslave your soul.
Now that you've been set free, don't let the devil drag you back into chains. Pray constantly to overcome his schemes, and stand firm in the Lord after you’ve overcome every obstacle.
Just like Galatians 5:1 encourages us, stand firm in the freedom Christ has given you, and don't let yourself be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
