THE NEED FOR AGITATION

Matthew 11:12(And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force).

In the journey of life; to be free from the oppression of the devil, agitation is necessary. Without agitation there is no freedom. The children of Israel remained in captivity until they agitated for their freedom. The blind Bartimaeus agitated for his freedom from blindness and Jesus Christ set him free; his cry was so loud that Jesus Christ had to stop and attend to him. Matthew 10:48(And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way). We don’t need to carry guns in this kingdom to agitate for our freedom. The cry of faith is what we need to provoke heaven’s attention for our freedom.  Faith is our unmatchable weapon of freedom.  God said he has heard the cry of the children of Israel and that he will send Moses to go and deliver them from their slave master (Exodus 3:7-10). I don’t know what the enemy is using to tie you down; you need to agitate for your freedom. The children of Israel were supposed to be in captivity for four hundred years according to the word of God but they end up staying for four hundred and thirty years (Genesis 15:13 and Exodus 12:40). Without agitation they would have remained there forever. The Jews that were carried away in captivity to Babylon were supposed to be free in seventy years according to the word of God, Daniel remembered and agitated for their freedom by embarking on 21 days prayer and fasting (Jeremiah 29:10 and Daniel 9:2-3). We have so many examples in the bible where they said and God remembers. Does it mean that God forgot His word? No, may be He thought the individual was enjoying his or her situation. Hannah agitates for her freedom from barrenness and God opens her womb. Rachel agitated, she said give me children or else I die and God remembered Rachel and opened her womb; the scripture said that God closes her womb but yet Rachel has to cry for her womb to be open (Genesis 29:31, 30:22). The ten lepers cried to Jesus for their cleansing and they were cleansed. A close mouth is a close destiny. Life will not hand over what is yours to you without putting up a fight. The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take by force, agitation is very necessary. The violence of faith is what we need to be free from oppression of the devil. You have to know what God has said concerning your situation and that will give an idea of when to agitate. If what you are seeing or experiencing is contrary to the word of God then agitation is must. The scripture said, our affliction is supposed to be for a while not forever; so anything that is of long continual is not of God. 2 Corinthian 4:17(For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory). God has given us faith as our weapon of warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4). The bible says Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God. Daniel said He understood by book that they were to be set free after seventy years in captivity and because of his understanding he engages in warfare to agitate for their freedom and God answered him. All the answers that we need are in the bible if only we can find time to study. Your freedom answers to the level of your understanding; if you are ignorant of your situation you will be thinking that your experience is normal. Ask God to baptise you with the spirit of understanding. Jesus Christ came for our total and complete freedom; the bible says if the Son set you free you are free indeed. The first step to your total freedom is to accept Jesus as your Lord and savior in case you have not and your freedom will be guaranteed.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
