What does it mean to be oppressed? 1. To be oppressed means to be put under subjection by a force stronger than you are. 2. It means to be tortured by certain forces that are beyond your control. 3. Oppressed is not only experiencing physically,it could be psychological,financial marital,educational and most importantly spiritual. For a person to be under oppression physically,the oppression must have been planted spiritually. Nothing can come into manifestation unless it has been accomplished in the spirit. Remain Bless!!!
