Destroying the Yoke of Bondage

By Evelyn W Lowery

The power and stronghold of the prisoner of habit is not merely that an old sinner is more depraved than a younger one, which makes us less hopeful of his conversion, but because he has formed a habit of sinning, which, like all other habits, becomes more and more difficult to break.

Filled with kingdom principles, this book provides a foundation of insight, wisdom, and discernment on the nature of the spiritual battle at hand and the powerful spiritual keys that leads to victory.

You will learn:

How Satan uses deception to produce a self-feeding system of lies through our thought life.

How this fortress of deception becomes our beliefs, which in turn defeats us.

How the mind is the battlefield.

The law of cause and effect (how ground is yield to the enemy).

That passivity (lack of self-control) can cause evil entrenchment.

Kingdom principles that govern freedom from mind-binding strongholds and emotional disorders

This valuable edition will be helpful:

Anyone suffering with emotional disorders.

Bible study groups as well as Christian counselors will find this book a transforming tool for recovery from spiritual bondage and also how to maintain your victory.

Why This Kind of Publication?

Many may think this kind of publication is demonic focused, but it is quite the contrary: It is demonic exposure (Watke, n.d.).

Far too many Christians sit quietly in the pew ashamed, guilt-ridden, and depressed with blame, anger, and bitterness. They are bound by pride and emotional stress.

This book challenges us to put serious effort into the study of the Holy Bible, in view of the urgent need among the children of God today, for help on spiritual warfare.

The duty here is that we set ourselves to act under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, by faith, and take each step of the Christian life in total dependence on God’s divine principles in order to walk in victory (Watke, n.d.).

But I say, walk by the spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please (Galatians 5:16–17).

The more spiritual minded the believer becomes, the more conscious of the significance of walking according to the Spirit and the dangers of walking according to the flesh, which can lead to spiritual bondage.

Preface

If we work marble, it will perish. If we work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble into dust. But if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are engraving that upon tablets, which no time will efface but will brighten and brighten to all eternity (Webster, 1959, p.409).

You will guard him and keep him in perfect peace whose mind (both its inclination and its character) is stayed on you, because he commits himself to you, leans on you and hopes confidently in you (Isaiah 26:3 Amp. Bible).

Introduction

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7).

There is an endless list of things that make up one’s life, both past and present. All these things have had an impact upon our lives, largely from the way we respond to situations, and the kind
