Many in the church are deceived due to a lack of knowledge. To obtain knowledge and freedom one must first recognize, receive, and apply what has been revealed to them. God is always speaking, and we must be open to hear him clearly. Satan will bring noise to distract you, but we must rise above the distraction by persevering as we speak the word of God no matter how difficult the situation looks like. For God is always there to rescue you because the victory is already won in Christ. God has placed leaders in our lives and so has the adversary. Beware of who’s yoke you are wearing. Are you wearing the yoke of a religious leader or of Christ? (Matthew 11:25-30) Relying on what a leader says instead of consulting God for yourself brings about bondage and idolatry. Many end up worshiping their leaders as they try to please them. God has already set you free. He doesn’t want you to live in fear, but in freedom and abundance. Fear is not from God and anytime you sense any type of fear know that Satan is lurking.
