Your Chains Are Not Physical

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Mark 5:1-9

Worship song: Chain Breaker

 


Meditation:

When Jesus arrived in the country of the Gerasene, he was confronted by a fierce and demon-possessed man who lived among the tombs. No one could subdue him, not even with chains, for he would always break free. His condition was not caused by physical restraint, but he was held captive by evil spiritual forces. The account describes his ultimate deliverance when Jesus casts out the spiritual demons possessing him. Evil forces seek to target the most vulnerable and hence prey on the weak. Some of the most powerful limitations we encounter are not physical restraints, but rather spiritual or emotional obstacles. Several inner struggles, including fear, negative thoughts, unfaithfulness, dwelling on past mistakes, ungodly deeds, worry, doubt, and spiritual weakness, can hinder us from fulfilling our purposes. However, if we surrender all to Jesus, he will loosen the shackles and set us free. The Lord declared in Isaiah 59 that he will break the power of evil and injustice, remove heavy burdens, break every yoke of bondage, and free the oppressed. The promise is a direct spiritual release for individuals from the forces that bind and oppress them. Stand firm, then, and do not be burdened again by the yoke of bondage.

Let us pray:

Merciful Father, we express our gratitude wholeheartedly giving thanks for redeeming us and breaking spiritual chains. We boldly decree no evil force shall have dominion over us, our children, and loved ones. We affirm that every yoke of oppression and spiritual bondage is broken and nullified. We stand on the covenant of Jesus that no evil force will take possession of our minds, bodies, and souls. We declare that no demonic entity shall invade or dwell in our temples for it is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. We nullify and destroy every evil assignment written against us and our family. Lord God, we welcome your warrior angels that are dispatched to stand as gatekeepers over our family to defeat the evil forces that seek to dominate us. Destroy the Spirit of fear, worry, doubt, and despair. Secure our destiny, mighty God, and keep us on the path of righteousness, free from oppression and evil influences in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you a wonderful day. 💕🙏👉

    Break every chain. As you describe in your devotion. We are often held down by so many things. There is a way to break through. Once we find that way keep walking in it. There are breakthroughs and deliverance. All chains must be broken.

Spiritual Decline

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 59:1-4 Worship song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      Spiritual decline refers to a decrease or deterioration of one's connection to the Divine, marked by a decline in faith, moral integrity, spiritual wisdom, or religious devotion. This is often caused by disobedience to God's word, increased idolatry practices, indulgence in worldly pleasures, and a decrease in godly and ethical standards. Neglecting to pray and a lack of spiritual energy, demonstrated by a loss of desire to worship and connect with other believers, mark the beginning of all spiritual decline.       When we neglect God's divine direction and uphold our own standards, it demonstrates spiritual blindness and a hardness of heart. It is our unholy actions that create a barrier between us and God. As stated in Isaiah 52, our wrongful actions caused God to turn away, preventing Him from hearing our pleas as He withdraws Himself f...

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139 Worship song: Where Can I Go   Meditation:      Overwhelmed with emotion, the Psalmist reflects on God's incredible, infinite power and omnipresence, marveling that God is intimately acquainted with every detail of his life, even his most hidden thoughts and feelings. God's wisdom and knowledge are unattainable; none has the power to obtain them. While we can earn academic titles, and be blessed with the spirit of discernment, we can never earn the boundless wisdom and knowledge that belong only to God. The Psalmist acknowledged that God's power is beyond human understanding. He realizes he cannot hide from God because God is always watching.       As Psalm 139 states, there is nowhere to flee from God's presence. Though we might hide our wrongdoings and indulgences from human view, all our actions, whether righteous or wicked, are laid exposed before God to whom we must give account. We cannot ...

The Stumbling Blocks

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 14:1-8 Worship song: At Your Feet   Meditation:      The Lord rescued the Israelites from Egypt and took them away from their lifestyle of bondage in slavery and their customary worship of idols. The Israelites encountered the love of God and were granted freedom through his divine power. Nonetheless, they regularly transgressed against the Lord and returned to idolatry, and for that, many of them did not reach the promised land. Like the Israelites, many of us, after encountering freedom, have returned to our former lifestyle, allowing our self-will and desires to cause us to be entangled again in the yoke of sin and transgressions.       Those who believe in Christ experience a spiritual rebirth, a transformation from their old lifestyle governed by sin to a new spiritual identity in Christ. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old, for Christ can do a new thing in you. Esca...

Squatters Occupying the Land

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 34:1-13 Worship Song: Way Maker   Meditation:      God made a covenant with Abraham in which he promised he would multiply his seed and make of him a great nation. God promised to bless him and his generation and give them the land of Canaan. The land was already occupied by various inhabitants, but God had to evict them so that Abraham and his descendants could possess the land. Our thoughts and hearts are vulnerable to the controlling influence of Satan's forces, who act as spiritual squatters.       To remove these spiritual intruders, we must invite Jesus Christ to take possession of our inner lives. Satan and his cohorts will remain inhabitants until we actively invite Jesus Christ into our lives to forcibly evict these unwanted spiritual tenants. Jesus Christ wants the Holy Spirit, the Comforter to reside within us, but we are too comfortable frolicking with the residents that he wants to dri...
