“When He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: ‘The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me…to proclaim liberty to the captives.” Luke 4:17-18 NKJV.

There are many things that can hold us captive. We can be obsessed with the lusts of the flesh or the craving for pleasure or power. Maybe we can’t escape the hold of bad habits. We can be trapped in abusive relationships or wracked by emotional trauma or stress. We can feel the weight of financial needs or the pressures of a job. We can be in situations for which we feel inadequate. We can be overwhelmed with worry or fear.
