SATANIC DEVICES TO HOLD YOU DOWN IN BONDAGE......Please read this.
2 Corinthians 2:11, "lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices."
In the land of bondage of Egypt, God decided to deliver the children of Israel and lead them to a free promised land. But Pharaoh was not ready to let them go. The the same way the devil is working hard as Pharaoh to hold people back in his bondage through his different options and devices. Ignorantly so many Christians are still under the bondage of Satan. Let's check the devices of Satan to hold you back in his bondage.

REMAINING IN SINFUL BONDAGE AND SERVING GOD THERE Exodus
Exodus 8:25, "Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.”
If you are willing to be free from sin and be saved by Jesus, to become a child of God and make heaven, Satan will tell you to remain in your sinful life and serve God there just as Pharaoh suggested to the Israelites. Many Christians are doing just that, serving God even in the bondage of sin, in the same old sinful "land" and life, and they are serious committed in Christian activities. Serving God in the bondage of sin, in the old land of Egypt is abomination and not accepted to God. Exodus 8:26. To serve God acceptably, you must first first leave that sinful land and life.

NOT TOO FAR
Exodus 8:28, "So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Intercede for me.”
When you are determined to serve God and be free from his bondage, he will suggest if you want to go, you can still be coming around, at least not too far. That is satanic deception to keep you in his perpetual bondage. Many Christians have ignorantly accepted this offer too, they forsake old life but not too far. They still keep company with sinful partners, job; they still keep the sinful materials, movies, magazines, music on their phones, they still keep in contact sinful friends and partner. You know what?Heaven is far and you need to go far with God, but before you can go far with God, you must go far from the world. Here is God's Word, "If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, and would not let wickedness dwell in your tents" Job 11:14. After you become a child of God, you don't need the old stuffs and friendship again or they will pull you back.

HALF BONDAGE/HALF FREEDOM
Exodus 10:11, "Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the Lord, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence."
Satan will tell you that you don't need to forsake all your sins before you can serve God, that you can leave some serious ones and hold the rest and start serving God. That was like what Pharaoh was suggesting to Moses, unfortunately, many Christians have taken that options. At least, they think they are better now, not living as before but still in sin. That conparism game is satanic device to still hold you in his bondage. Jesus came to set you free and free indeed from ALL sins and satanic bondage. Jesus paid 100% price for your 100% freedom from sin, and so He will not accept your 99% holiness, you must be free indeed within and without; until then, you are still toiling under the bondage of Satan.

LIVING YOUR PROPERTIES IN BONDAGE
Exodus 10:24, "Then Pharaoh called to Moses and said, “Go, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be kept back. Let your little ones also go with you.”
Look, Satan will not want to give up on you, he will keep bringing his cunning suggestions but you also must to give him a chance. Thank God for Moses, he didn't accept any of the suggestions of Pharaoh and you must do like Moses. Satan will suggest that you can be free from his bondage but you can leave your belongings under his bondage, that you may not serve idol or do those sinful activities again, but you can still give your money and properties for them, that you may not be coming again, but you can send money or well wish. That you may not drink or smoke but you can be selling and supplying them, that you can be working there.That you can still be investing your money to companies that produce sinful things, that you can still donate to ungodly programs. If you are in any of those things, you have fooled yourself and you are till under Satan's bondage and doomed for eternal destruction. Even if you don't do it, but if you support, abet, aid or involve indirectly, you are under same judgment.

JESUS' DELIVERANCE
Jesus came to set us free and that is total free, He came to give us life, and that is abundant life, He came to give us freedom from sin and Satan, and that is total freedom. So, if you are not totally free, you just need a second touch for total freedom from sin, because half-done Christians can not receive a well-done welcome into the well prepared heaven.
1 John 3:8,9: He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
John 8:32-36, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."
