Freedom!
John 8:36 Therefore if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
Why are we then not free?
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call Heaven and earth to record today against you. I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your seed may live,
Our choices are important.
The issue is that we don’t have the required knowledge to make informed choices.
Hosea 4:6(a) My (JESUS) people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…..
What do we need to know?
John 6:44 No one can come to Me (JESUS) unless the Father who has sent Me (JESUS) draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:45 It is written in the Prophets, “And they shall all be taught of God.” Therefore everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to Me (JESUS).
2 Corinthians 4:2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the Word of God, but by the revelation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 4:3 But also if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to those being lost,
2 Corinthians 4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ (who is the image of God) should not dawn on them.
2 Corinthians 4:5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Matthew 16:15 He said to them, But who do you say I am?
Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:17 Jesus answered and said to him, You are blessed, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father in Heaven.
Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock ( I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:19 And I will give the keys of the kingdom of Heaven to you. And whatever you may bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in Heaven, and whatever you may loose on earth shall occur, having been loosed in Heaven.
When reading the above we see that scripture is pointing to salvation.

Salvation (Vines concordance)
- Nouns.
- soteria (G4991) denotes “deliverance, preservation, salvation.” “Salvation” is used in the NT (a) of material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension, (1) national, Luk_1:69, Luk_1:71; Act_7:25, RV marg., “salvation” (text, “deliverance”); (2) personal, as from the sea, Act_27:34; RV, “safety” (KJV, “health”); prison, Phi_1:19; the flood, Heb_11:7; (b) of the spiritual and eternal deliverance granted immediately by God to those who accept His conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus, in whom alone it is to be obtained, Act_4:12, and upon confession of Him as Lord, Rom_10:10; for this purpose the gospel is the saving instrument, Rom_1:16; Eph_1:13 (see further under SAVE); (c) of the present experience of God’s power to deliver from the bondage of sin, e.g., Phi_2:12, where the special, though not the entire, reference is to the maintenance of peace and harmony; 1Pe_1:9; this present experience on the part of believers is virtually equivalent to sanctification; for this purpose, God is able to make them wise, 2Ti_3:15; they are not to neglect it, Heb_2:3; (d) of the future deliverance of believers at the Parousia of Christ for His saints, a salvation which is the object of their confident hope, e.g., Rom_13:11; 1Th_5:8, and 1Th_5:9, where “salvation” is assured to them, as being deliverance from the wrath of God destined to be executed upon the ungodly at the end of this age (see 1Th_1:10); 2Th_2:13; Heb_1:14; Heb_9:28; 1Pe_1:5; 2Pe_3:15; (e) of the deliverance of the nation of Israel at the second advent of Christ at the time of “the epiphany (or shining forth) of His Parousia” (2Th_2:8); Luk_1:71; Rev_12:10; (f) inclusively, to sum up all the blessings bestowed by God on men in Christ through the Holy Spirit, e.g., 2Co_6:2; Heb_5:9; 1Pe_1:9, 1Pe_1:10; Jud_1:3; (g) occasionally, as standing virtually for the Savior, e.g., Luk_19:9; cf. John 4:22 (see SAVIOR); (h) in ascriptions of praise to God, Rev_7:10, and as that which it is His prerogative to bestow, Rev_19:1 (RV).
- soterion (G4992), the neuter of the adjective (see B), is used as a noun in Luk_2:30; Luk_3:6, in each of which it virtually stands for the Savior, as in No. 1 (g); in Act_28:28, as in No. 1 (b); in Eph_6:17, where the hope of “salvation” [see No. 1 (d)] is metaphorically described as “a helmet.”
- Adjective.
soterios (G4992**), “saving, bringing salvation,” describes the grace of God, in Tit_2:11.
When we have looked at the word salvation and as you can see it can get very busy
The summary is that deliverance comes through salvation and is the main essences of deliverance.
What is our part in all this?
Most people are blinded by the god of this world (satan)
We have the keys of the Kingdom Of Heaven – the authority to bind and to loose.
The scripture due to the Greek tenses etc is quite difficult to translate correctly.
The essence is that what is allowed in heaven should be allowed on earth.
What is not allowed in Heaven should not be allowed on earth.

2 Corinthians 5:17 So that if any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Note
New creature in the Greek = a different species
You become a GOD species
As life happens and issues become apparent
The best way to deal with is;
Find the truth, apply the truth. This will set you free
John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
