Demonic Assignment

New Testament examples of oppression (Acts 10:38)

Jesus Christ is Anointed to Heal the oppressed, bring deliverance and freedom to the captives! Medicine, drugs/alcohol, coping mechanisms, etc., can’t produce true freedom.

Relief is not resolution!

Champions Journeys

Common Steps towards victory

Come into the Light! Out of denial, isolation

Cry out to God

Address the physical

Stay with the Team!

Invest in Hope! (Romans 15:13; Romans 5:5)

The Power of Hope

An eternal, internal spiritual force essential for life and well-being. (Diminishing of hope and death of hope are not the same!)

A desired outcome; light in circumstantial darkness.

Origin of Hope: 1 Corinthians 13:13; Psalm 119:114; Romans 15:4 (Word of God)

The internal Partner/Developer of Hope …. The Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13)

The external developers of internal Hope …. Romans 5:1-5
