Is it Possible for a Christian to be Oppressed?

First, we must realize that oppression does not come from God, but from the evil one; an evil spirit. And, oppression can come in many forms: sickness and disease (Luke 13:11), anxiety, curses on our finances, broken relationships, discouragement and depression. If we are struggling, we can ask God what the source of our oppression is. He will tell us and bring healing to our lives. This may require confession of sin, forgiving someone or having discernment that the enemy is trying to get us discouraged because God is using us in a mighty way. Whatever the cause, Jesus has come to set us free.

“…and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked…”  II Peter 2:7  NKJV

“…how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”  Acts 10:38  NKJV

“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name [Jesus] they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”  Mark 16:17,18  NKJV
