In today's Bible reading, the Israelites offended God, and He handed them over to the Midianites for seven years. The Midianites would allow the Israelites to plant their crops for their plants, but as soon as it was time for harvest, they would come in their multitudes to wipe out all they had. When the devil represses a person, he causes that fellow to work hard for something and then attacks and leaves the fellow worse off than he or she started.
Repression destroys all of a fellow's efforts to increase. Some people make lots of money but cannot account for how they spend it. It is as though they have bags with multiple holes that leak away their resources of progress. Even when they make a lot of money, they remain in debt. When I was younger, an incident happened in our village. A rich man used his riches to forcefully take away a piece of land that belonged to another person. The other person said, "No problem. Even though I don't have the money to fight you in court, we will see." The rich man started building on the land, but the building was roofed, the original owner of the land went at night to plant a charm in the building, and by the next day, there were cracks in every corner of the building. The cracks were so bad that the rich man had to pull down the entire building. He tried to erect a building on the land several times, but cracks kept appearing. As a result, he wasted a lot of resources without achieving his goal.
Beloved, if the devil has been repressing you in any form, I decree today that, whether it is your fault or not that the enemy has been pushing you down, it is your year of jubilee. I pray that the fire of God will descend and deliver you from any form of repression that might be in your life, in Jesus' name. God's plan is for you to increase and move from glory to glory, and this will be your portion, in Jesus' name.
