How to Speak Life and Declare Freedom Over Others
Bianca Olthoff explains in a recent video clip from Q Ideas how to proclaim freedom and speak life over marginalized people. Using Galatians 5:1, Olthoff says that because Christ set us free, we should set others free too.
“If we are free, we have the moral duty and the obligation to speak freedom to those who are struggling to break the bonds of oppression in our generation and the next,” Olthoff says. “But how? Not all of us will go into prisons. Not all of us will work in anti-human trafficking organizations. But we all have the ability to look at someone and say, ‘There is potential. God has a plan for you. If you are not dead, then God ain’t done. Get back up. There is still reason and purpose for your life.’ You don’t need to be the most educated. You don’t need to be the most beautiful. You don’t need to be the most influential or affluent. You don’t need to be the richest. You don’t need to be the prettiest. You need to be the most willing. The most willing to look at the debased of society, the dredges, the overlooked and the undervalued and say God has a plan for you. Tell them that they have potential.”
