You’re Free!The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, Isaiah 61:1
During WWII an American professor and a British Army chaplain were imprisoned in a German POW camp - the professor on the American side, the chaplain on the British side. Since the Americans had secretly built a homemade radio, the two friends would meet at the fence each day to discuss the latest news. (They used an ancient Gaelic language that their captors didn’t understand.) When the professor heard over the radio that the Germans had surrendered three days earlier, he told his friend on the other side of the fence. Moments later a roar of celebration went up from the British barracks. When the news reached the German guards several days later, they fled leaving the gates unlocked, and the British and Americans walked out together as free men. Jesus said He came, '... to proclaim liberty to the captives... ' (Isaiah 61:1). Good news - Satan is now a defeated foe. Your prison door is open; your freedom has been won at Calvary - accept it, act on it, and stop living like a prisoner! Did you know that the African impala can jump 10 feet high and cover a distance of 10 yards? Yet this magnificent animal can be confined within walls only 3-feet high. Why? Because unless it first sees where it’s going to land, it’s afraid to jump. Faith is the ability to jump and trust God, even when you can’t see. It opens doors and frees you from every prison of fear. Today, 'The son has made you free' - start acting like it!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to have the faith that only you can give to go into places I have never been to do things I have never done – to bring forward your Kingdom. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen
