PROMISE #142 - MAY 22
Promise #142:
I open prison doors and set captives free.
Isaiah 61:1 (WEB)
The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me;
because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and release to those who are bound;
Isaiah 61 was a prophetic declaration of the ministry Jesus would usher in when He started His public ministry. God's heart has always been to proclaim good news for everyone who needs it. For He opens up every prison door and He sets every captive free! Hallelujah for a Savior who is so committed to our personal freedom!
His proclamation of freedom is as relevant today as the day Isaiah penned these words. God wants us to be completely free because there is liberty where the Spirit of the Lord is! (2 Corinthians 3:17) My prayer today is that every prison door that still holds us captive will be consumed by the love of God so that we can live a free life. For Jesus set us free because He loves freedom! (Galatians 5:1)
So let us strive to experience a deeper level of God's freedom today than we have ever known before. May every burden be lifted from our shoulders, and may the joy of the Lord be our strength. Remember, we were not created to be captive. Our very existence is a testament to God's desire for us to be free!
