Understanding what is enslaving you will bring freedom to your life and relationships. If your WELLBEING is broken and your FAMILY LIFE is being torn apart, then you are most likely tied up in chains to the SPIRIT of BONDAGE. Thousands of people are suffering from the effects of the breakdown of the family, and as a result of this trauma the WELLBEING of parents and children are placed at great risk. People are at war with one other, but few realise that the battle being waged is WITHIN THEMSELVES. All around one hears cries for FREEDOM but few realise who or what is OPPRESSING them and who their ENEMY really is. Here is an in-depth study of that enemy and how you can break free and MOVE from BONDAGE to FREEDOM. "For you did not receive the Spirit of Bondage to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of Adoption as children, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!' " Romans 8: 15 "It seems, then, that an instinct is an urge inherent in organic life to restore an earlier stage of things, which the living entity has been obliged to abandon under the pressure of external disturbing forces." Sigmund Freud. SE, XVIII. 36 ____________________________________ AUTHOR's NOTE: I am not a theologian or a scholar of any sort. I have no academic background, and have little to do with the principle subject of this study, which is an unpacking of the eternal Laws of God. Often the deep understandings of the things of the Spirit and the ways of life in the Kingdom of Heaven come about as a result of hardship or a crisis. Perhaps it is justifiable to say, that it is often in the burning cauldron of pain and suffering that something of eternal value is revealed. I pray you find true freedom as you embark on this study.
