After Washington DC, New York and Los Angeles are destroyed by alien space craft in the 1996 movie Independence Day, the president, a few close advisers and another family escape on Air Force One. Like president Bush on 9/11/01, this president, played by Bill Pullman, search for a safe destination to land. When Judd Hirsch inadvertently interrupts a staff meeting, his beliefs uncover the truth about Area 51, resulting in a visit to this previously unknown bunker under the desert. Once Will Smith arrives with an alien whose plane crash landed, the president has his first close encounter shown in the clip above.
The term release means to allow or enable someone to escape. When an individual or something is imprisoned like this alien, their end goal is to be set free from confinement. However, when you reason with an alien, demon or evil person, you are unleashing supernatural powers. Whenever a nation makes a peace treaty with a terrorist or the justice system lets a serial criminal out on parole, the same sinful pattern often continues, returning to the scene of the crime. This is why Jesus modeled praying to his disciples during his 3 year ministry, displaying how prayer can release souls from the schemes of the devil, Matthew 21:21-22.

Time is an enemy for most citizens of the earth. Sometimes I feel as if I am always behind, trying to catch up on life, leaving little or no time for prayer. Instead of concentrating on God the Father like Jesus does in the youtube above, I am distracted by my surroundings. Thus, I spend more time worrying than I do asking God to release me from the burdens on my heart, Matthew 11:28-30. Its no wonder than many Christian and seekers of God spend so much of their lives in bondage, addicted and paralyzed by sinful habits. If you tried everything else without any progress, cry out to God today, relying on His power to release you from the temptations holding you down.
