Oppression is a cruel or unjust exercise of power. Minorities were historically subject to oppression by those in power and, unfortunately, oppression still exists today. In every case, those who are in power or who are in control treat those who have no power unfairly and deprive them of certain basic rights or liberties.

When we are dealing with fear in the spiritual realm, we are usually dealing with the oppression of the devil and the fear of death. Satan does not want us to serve and worship God and will do anything to restrain us. In the world, the devil has two strategies. Either he tries to make us think he does not exist, or he tries to scare us into not obeying God’s will for our lives. The answer again is to face our fears with our faith in God.
