Broken Chain

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Luke 8:27-33

Worship song: My Shackles Are Broken

 


Meditation:

    To say that someone is chained means that they are bound or restrained by a controlling agent or force. We can become possessed or enslaved by any agent that invades our territory or by anything we choose or allow to control our behavior, mind, and actions. Many of us are bound by our circumstances but do not realize the impact it has on our lives. Jesus, while on his mission, stumbled upon a man possessed by a demon that tormented him constantly day and night. You can tell by reading the passage of scripture that the unclean spirit was comfortable residing in the man. The demon, upon realizing that Jesus came to cast him out, beseeched Jesus not to torment him. The task of demons, unclean spirits, is to capture and prevent us from becoming what God intends us to be. That is why we need to pray earnestly without seizing, asking God to cover, shield, and protect our mind, the entry portal to our soul, from the evil one whose only intention is to keep us in bondage. Anything that manipulates and enslaves your thoughts and prevents you from walking in God's purpose is not of God and will eventually destroy you. If you are bound by fears, failures, guilt, depression, addiction, disabilities, or any negative words that have been spoken over your life, you can be set free by the power of Jesus Christ. Whatever stronghold has bound you; Jesus Christ can deliver you and set you free. 

 Let us pray:

    Everlasting God, let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word, and be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens. Almighty God, I am grateful for your grace, faithfulness, and compassion that are keeping us and preventing us from being consumed. Lord, we continue to seek your divine intervention to set us free from oppression, depression, or any stronghold that has invaded our hearts and minds. Lord God, whatever we are bound by, whether we are invaded by agents working through satanic power, possessed by demonic forces, or controlled by our thoughts, our self-righteous attitudes, and carnal weaknesses, we seek your divine intervention to destroy the invader of our mind in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we ask that you have mercy on us according to your steadfast love, according to your abundant mercy, and we ask that you blot out our transgressions. Almighty God, we stand steadfast in the liberty wherewith you have made us free. Lord, I give you thanks with a grateful heart, for you have brought us out of darkness and the shadow of death and broken the chains asunder that bound us. Help us, Lord, not to be entangled again with the yoke of bondage in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a blessed and peaceful day. 🙏🙏

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
