Working in conjunction with the spirit of Pharaoh, the spirit of oppres sion arbitrarily exercises satanic powers to oppress and cause mental and emotional stress. It victimizes its host by taking away his rights and dignity. This spirit also creates a “slave” mentality so that even after a person is deliv ered from the clutches of its relentless hands, the individual must be exposed to empowering teachings in order for a paradigm shift to take place. Scriptural reference for the spirit of oppression Deuteronomy 24:14–15; Psalm 22:24; 25:16; 55:1–15; Proverbs 18:14; Acts 10:38
