Every sickness and disease is either a curse from God or an oppression of the devil. Acts 10:38, tells us about how God anointed Jesus to free those who believe in  Him from oppression.  

Oppression is the evil planting from Satan. Or evil yokes and burdens. Satan plants a mountain of darkness and destruction in the root of every man- man's soul. Jesus explained this in Matthew 13:25, 

but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 

Fighting sickness without dealing with the oppressor is futile.  You should deal with the oppressor. 

Who is an Oppressor ?

An oppressor is someone who puts an evil burden or yoke on your neck. He or she never wants you freed.  All witches, wizards, false prophets and false Christs (wicked leaders) are oppressors. Witches and wizards are spiritual wickedness in high places, therefore we should beware...

When one is under oppression from Satan, one is under evil obssession and depression. Obssession makes one extremely possesive of something, someone or himself, so depression sets in. He or she starts loosing his or her moral and spiritual health. Depression  leads to bad decision making.  When ones moral and spiritual health is down, bad decision is inevitable. The moral part of us is our conscience; the spiritual   part of us is our influence. Conscience has to do with the laws we believe in (as our culture).

For Us To Stop The Oppression

We need the followings in order for us to end Satanic oppression in our lives:

1.  The Anointing:  Anointing can mean acting the word, or the word made flesh (John 1: 14). The book of Acts of the Apostle is a book that showed us how the apostles acted the word. I believe the anointing is the Acting Word. When we act the word that God has given to us it brings deliverance from oppression. Psalm 107 verse 20 tells us that God sent forth His Word, and His Word healed them and delivered them out of their destruction. God needs those who will act His word. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2 verse 4 that the gospel he, an apostle of Christ, preaches is not with man's wisdom, but the demonstration of  Spirit or the power of God.

Also Isaiah 10 verse 27 tells us that the anointing breaks every evil yoke of oppression.

2.  Authority:  When God speaks everything listens. Jesus spoke to the oppressing wind and the wind dies down.  Authority is the right to command or demand for something. Revelation  (the wisdom or laws of the Spirit) gives us authority over principalities and powers of darkness. Divine authority is revelational, while  Governmental authority is constitutional.

In Matthew 10 Jesus sent the disciples to go out to preach, heal and even raise the dead based on His authority (divine authority). Divine authority is necessary for us to stop the oppression of Satan.

3.  The Altar:  Jezebel in 2 Kings 18 oppressed the people of Israel by forcing them to worship of Baal, her god.   Thank goodness that Elijah stopped the oppression by contending with her prophets in the altar on mount Camel.  An altar is a place of spiritual warfare, or worship. Elijah built an altar on the mount with twelve stones which represents the twelve tribes of Israel.  While the bullock was already slaughter on the altar, Elijah  prayed to God, starting with him seeing God in the light of just men- Abraham, Isaac and Jacob . Worship can mean, to see God in the light of just men. 

Not quite long,  the fire of God descended from heaven.  The fire that came down on that altar ended the oppression of baal in Israel. 

All the places that Jacob had encounters with God, he builds an altar there. Have a place of prayer in your life. A physical place for a altar is not necessary today, but you yourself are the altar. When you are prayerful you becomes a place where God releases His fire. That fire sets you and others free from Satanic oppression.    

God loves you.
