“Shall
the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?”
This haunting question echoes across generations—piercing, searching, exposing.
It is not just a question; it is a cry from the depths of entrapment, whispered from the corners of pulpits, hidden in the sighs of gospel laborers who preach deliverance while quietly longing for their own.
This book is written for those who have labored in God’s vineyard yet find themselves held by invisible cords, bound not by devils with pitchforks, but by habits formed in the shadows—mundane, legal, even logical, yet lethal to the soul.
It’s for those who carry anointing yet wrestle in silence. For those who pray in power but cry in private. For those who have answered the call of God but are now being questioned by the habits they never fully laid down. You love God. You serve Him. But something unseen holds you… still.
That
something is what this book calls “The Mighty.”
Not merely the devil himself, but the strongholds he's built brick by brick
through repetitive compromise—habits that began as choices but now claim
lordship over your time, your focus, and even your intimacy with God.
We are not here to entertain you. This is not motivational literature. This is a call to war.
A war against the systems of thought and behavior that the enemy has normalized in your life. A war against the tyranny of “it’s always been like this.” A war against the apathy that creeps in when the fire dies out. It is the clash between destiny and delay, between freedom and familiarity.
But this war is not without hope.
For
thus saith the Lord:
“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey
of the terrible shall be delivered…”
This is the promise that undergirds every chapter of this book. God
Himself is contending for you. But He won’t contend without
your cooperation. You must rise. You must wrestle. You must break the rhythm of
defeat.
Each chapter is designed not just to teach, but to provoke. To pull the curtain back on how habits—both visible and hidden—shape the lives of God’s servants. And more importantly, to show you how to tear them down and build holy patterns in their place.
You will read stories, reflect through questions, and meditate on scriptures that cut deep and heal deeper. You will be invited to confront what you’ve tolerated, to change what you’ve normalized, and to recover what you've lost.
This
is not merely a book on habits.
It is a battle map. A spiritual scalpel.
A divine confrontation.
So
now, we ask you again:
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty?
Your habits will answer.
Your choices will answer.
Your life will answer.
