The cry of the humble and afflicted reaches the ears of God.

He inclines His ear to hear the humble cries of the afflicted souls who are in great pain, distress and misery.

God hears the desire of the humble. He hears and prepares the heart of those who have been afflicted.

Afflicted:
a state of pain, distress, or grief; misery: caused by others who are influenced and used by the god of this world.

The oppression of the people of this world, those who don’t know God, care about God or those who believe in God and seek His Kingdom. God hears and sees it all. The state of the fatherless and the oppressed don’t go unnoticed. People of this world have no heart for God. They cannot see or hear God. They think that God does not see them, that they can keep on living in the ways of this world, treating people with contempt and disrespect. The wicked people of this world use and abuse others. Their major concern or care is their own well-being and personal gain. But God brings justice to the fatherless and oppressed. He hears their cause and maintains what is right for the weak and destitute. Those who are treated or judged unfairly, persecuted or tyrannized, God will vindicate, because they keep their eyes on God, the eyes of their heart that is.

[31] What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

The enemy uses men of this world to oppress, take advantage of and persecute those who put their faith and trust in God, in His justice and mercy, in his mighty hands, who has all power to deliver those who look to Him.

The enemy’s agenda and goal  is to wear you down and break you and to keep you in bondage to anxiety and fear of man, O man of God.  Satan cannot attack you on the inside, but he uses the people of this world to do his bidding

Father God, may souls be loose from bondage and be brought into Your healing and light from every demonic realm in Jesus mighty name! Amen
