nervous breakdown, and feel overwhelmed by life. They feel distant
from God and can’t seem to go on! They are in a desperate way, and
need desperate help.
Obsessed
The definition for obsessed is: “Becoming preoccupied with an idea or
an emotion that cannot be broken by natural means. It is a persistent,
inescapable, preoccupation of the mind.” In the condition of being depressed
and/or oppressed people are vulnerable for satanic things.
They will try to fill a void with something. It might be sinful or sometimes
not. There was a young lady that went to her pastor for prayer.
She was bone skinny, her skin ashen grey, and her eyes sunk in her
head with red rings around them. The pastor remarked, “My how you
have lost weight!” She said, “Doesn’t it look good.” He said, “Not really,
you look sickly.” She finally admitted after much talking that she was
taking around 26 boxes of Ex­Lax a day to get that skinny. She had
become obsessed with her looks and her weight! This is when demons
get a stronghold in people’s minds and lives. It is a strong bondage
that will take the anointing to break. These people are truly under a
yoke of satan. I want to also tell a story I once heard in a deliverance
session. There was a young lady I will call Beverly. She had just been
through a painful divorce where her husband left her. Even though the
husband was in the wrong, the deliverance worker felt strongly Beverly
had something to do with all of it. After prayer a word of knowledge
came to the deliverance worker about Beverly not ever letting anyone
get close to her. She broke down in tears and told about when she was
a little girl. Her little sister had terminal cancer and was dying. The parents
didn’t want to tell Beverly because they didn’t think she would understand
at such a young age. While the two girls were playing with
dolls they got into a fight. Beverly told her sister she hated her and
wished she would go away. The little girl died that night. Demons told
Beverly in her mind that anyone she ever got close to would die and
she believed them. Beverly’s husband loved her very much and was
the type of guy to stay at home and spend time with the family. He
liked watching television and spending time working in the yard. She
didn’t want him around and kept pushing him away. Finally she told
him to go join a bowling league. That is where he met his next wife.
The next wife could not understand why Beverly wasn’t happy with
such a wonderful man. This story is so sad, but many people have
believed lies that have brought satanic bondage into their lives. People
live with fears, insecurities, and hurt God never intended for them to
have. This was a stronghold in the mind of Beverly. Once she asked
forgiveness for believing this lie and pushing people away, the deliverance
worker took authority and destroyed the mental stronghold. The
