Freedom doesn't always come easy, even for believers. In this deeply personal teaching from Luke 13, Pastor Ken Davis examines the story of a woman who'd been physically bent over for 18 years - unable to straighten herself no matter how hard she tried. Just as Jesus identified her as "a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound," many Christians today find themselves trapped in cycles of sin despite genuine faith.

With remarkable vulnerability, Pastor Ken shares his own journey through pornography addiction as a born-again, Spirit-filled believer. He describes the devastating cycle that many Christians recognize: sin, guilt, confession, temporary freedom, then deliberate return to sin. "I had treated the price that He had paid cheaply," he confesses, "as though it were nothing that Christ's blood had been shed that I might be forgiven."

The breakthrough came not through trying harder but through surrender. After attempting to quit for his wife's sake (and failing), trying for himself (and failing), and even trying for God's sake (and failing again), Pastor Ken finally realized the common denominator: his own effort. Complete liberation arrived only when he prayed, "Lord, if you want me to be free from this, then you have to set me free."

This message offers profound hope for anyone struggling with persistent sin, addiction, or spiritual bondage. Your freedom doesn't depend on your strength or religious performance but on Christ's liberating power activated through honest surrender. And when Jesus sets you free? Like the woman in Luke's account who "immediately was made straight and glorified God," your response won't be to seek applause from others but to give all glory to the One who broke your chains.
