#EaglesDevotional - CAPTIVITY OF THE MIND PT. 2

“Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge…” Isaiah 5:13

The bible says in the book of Proverbs 3:20, “By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.” Explaining this in simpler terms, the bible is saying; when you have knowledge your heavens will be open, therefore to those who refuse knowledge, your heavens will remain permanently closed.
Our deliverance lies in what we know. The answers we are expecting from God for life’s challenges and situations, lies within knowledge. The problem is many people have not searched for knowledge by studying to show themselves approved and this is because the “god of this world” the devil has blinded their minds.

The bible takes it further in Proverbs 11:9, when it says “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”If you want to experience deliverance, then you must free yourself from the captivity of the mind by finding knowledge.

Proverbs 24:4-5 also says “And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.”Why are you weak? Why are you being subjected to avoidable hardship? For the lack of knowledge, people who ought to never take a pill are sick. For deficiency of knowledge, many Christians are living in abject poverty and under the heavy burden of debt.

I have come with a word from God for you reading this devotional today; you can do exploits, you can walk out of poverty and into victory. You can move from breakdown to breakthrough. You can be and achieve all you want to become if only you break the walls and chains that haveheld your mind captive.  Daniel 11:32 “…the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”


FURTHER READING: 2 Corinthians 4:4, Proverbs 11:9, 24:4-5, Daniel 11:32.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: In the name of Jesus, I command the devil to take his hands off my life. I set my self and family free from the power of ignorance and I receive the grace and strength to seek knowledge.
WORDS OF WISDOM: The fruit of ignorance is captivity but that of knowledge is liberty.
