Have you ever wrestled with the same problem for so long that you've lost hope of ever breaking free? The woman in Luke 13 had been physically bent double for eighteen years, unable to straighten herself despite countless attempts. Her story powerfully illuminates our own struggles with persistent sin, chronic illness, or destructive patterns that seem impossible to overcome.
Pastor Ken Davis takes us deep into this remarkable encounter between Jesus and a woman suffering from what Scripture calls "a spirit of infirmity." Unlike other healing accounts, Jesus specifically declares she is "loosed" from her bondage—using terminology that appears nowhere else in healing narratives. This unique wording reveals a profound truth: some of our struggles have spiritual dimensions that require divine liberation, not just human effort.
Through careful examination of the text and transparent sharing from his own life, Pastor Ken reveals why Christians sometimes remain stuck in cycles of defeat despite genuine faith. His vulnerable testimony about battling pornography addiction illustrates the progression from hidden sin to presumption upon God's grace, from false confidence to the shocking realization of enslavement, and finally to the liberating moment when God's Word revealed his sin as God sees it.
The message brings stunning clarity to questions many believers quietly harbor: Why do I keep struggling with this same issue? Can a Christian be under demonic attack? What's the difference between demonic possession and affliction? And most importantly, how can I finally find freedom when I've tried everything and failed?
Whether you're battling habitual sin, physical illness, destructive thought patterns, or circumstances beyond your control, this teaching offers life-changing perspective. The woman's story reminds us that our liberation begins not with our ability to straighten ourselves, but with positioning ourselves in Christ's presence to receive His touch. Join us as we discover how Jesus sees, calls, and transforms those who cannot free themselves.
