Ezekiel 13:22-23 (MSG)
22 "'Because you've confounded and confused good people, unsuspecting and innocent people, with your lies, and because you've made it easy for others to persist in evil so that it wouldn't even dawn on them to turn to me so I could save them, 23 as of now you're finished. No more delusion-mongering from you, no more sermonic lies. I'm going to rescue my people from your clutches. And you'll realize that I am God.'"
Jesus came to set the captive free...
He gave Us Who so ever Believed Him, and Received Him... A Born of God position to sit with Him on His Throne, In God The Father, so We the free, can also, “Set Every Captive Free.”
How do you set the captive free if you are bound up in sins and idolatry?
Jesus first sends His Word to heal and deliver you, then when you accept this liberty, you go set them free the same way you were set free... The Laborer and his field is plowed by ...the joy of The Lord, having strength🦅🌈💦🕊👨🌾 and truth, which sets us free.

What Is Important To Jesus
Micah 6:6-16 (MSG)
6 “How can I stand up before God
and show proper respect to the high God?
Should I bring an armload of offerings
topped off with yearling calves?
7 Would God be impressed with thousands of rams,
with buckets and barrels of olive oil?
Would he be moved if I sacrificed my firstborn child,
my precious baby, to cancel my sin?
8 But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do,
what God is looking for in men and women.
It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
be compassionate and loyal in your love,
And don't take yourself too seriously—
take God seriously.
9 Attention! God calls out to the city!
If you know what's good for you, you'll listen.
So listen, all of you!
This is serious business.
10 "Do you expect me to overlook obscene wealth
you've piled up by cheating and fraud?
11 Do you think I'll tolerate shady deals
and shifty scheming?
12 I'm tired of the violent rich
bullying their way with bluffs and lies.
13 I'm fed up. Beginning now, you're finished.
You'll pay for your sins down to your last cent.
14 No matter how much you get, it will never be enough—
hollow stomachs, empty hearts.
No matter how hard you work, you'll have nothing to show for it—
bankrupt lives, wasted souls.
15 You'll plant grass
but never get a lawn.
You'll make jelly
but never spread it on your bread.
You'll press apples
but never drink the cider.
16 You have lived by the standards of your king, Omri,
the decadent lifestyle of the family of Ahab.
Because you've slavishly followed their fashions,
I'm forcing you into bankruptcy.
Your way of life will be laughed at, a tasteless joke.
Your lives will be derided as futile and fake."“
