“Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men” (Ephesians 4:8).
The Apostle Paul quoted the opening verse from Psalms 68:18: “Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.”
Notice that Paul said, “…he led captivity captive…” not, “he led captors captive.” Captivity here refers to the power, authority and activities of the captors. Their right and power to hold man in captivity was taken captive; that right was seized by Jesus! He took it from Satan and his cohorts; they don’t have it anymore; so “captivity” has been held captive!
Today, no one should be legally held captive by Satan, sickness or disease; all you have to do is announce your freedom. This is why Paul, in the city of Lystra, could say to a man who was impotent in his feet, and had never walked from birth, “Sir, stand up!” Paul didn’t even have to pray for him. Paul’s audacity of faith resulted from his knowledge that “captivity” had been held captive.
The power to hold men captive has been seized by Jesus Christ. Thus, live free from sickness, disease, poverty, failure or anything connected to Satan and his cohorts today. Hallelujah!
