The Bondage Breaker

Introduction

A quick look at the above title initially gives the impression that it is a deliverance book with the conventional approach of laying a hand on the individual, accompanied with binding and casting. The researcher is particularly challenged to realize the more helpful biblical approach of Anderson where he adopted the discipleship counseling process and he was able to learn how the truth of God's Word can set one free, thus conforming to the image of God as he works by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit. With a transformed life, one can live by faith and grow spiritually. (Dr. Charles, 2009)

A significant impact this text has on the researcher is realizing who he is in Christ. Before reading it, he didn't feel accepted, secured and significant in his relationship with God. He thought it would undoubtedly take a life time to be a saint. (Dr. Charles, 2009)

The thirty three ''I amps'' on pages 38 and 39 (a list read regularly) have revolutionized my thinking. It is exciting to note that although he is not the ''I am that I am'' but by the special grace of God, he joins the apostle Paul to boldly proclaim that ''I am what I am''. He was ignorant of his position and authority in Christ and equally ignorant of Satan''s ability to deceive. Now that he has realized that he is not shaped as much by the environment as he is by his perception of it, life's events will no longer determine his position. He is the only one who can keep himself from become the person God truly wants him to be. If anything, Anderson assisted him in ways that cannot be expressed to realize the power of his identity in Christ.
