“I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church” Colossians 1:24
Last night God gave me a vision of a heavy metal ball secured by a chain. He said this represents all those who have a crippling encumbrance. They are in bondage to sin.
The good news is our powerful and loving God can break the power of the chain and deliver those afflicted into the freedom of Christ.
This begins with God working through the labor of prayers and intercession to set believers free.
The purpose of God is to draw believers into oneness with Christ through the Holy Spirit.
Many of those anchored to the chain may not care or even be aware of the severity of the bondage.
This doesn’t matter to God. Nothing is impossible for Him. Jesus loves to perform miracles and set those free from the strongholds of Satan.
Jesus spent the majority of His ministry healing those in distress and delivering people from the power of Satan.
This encumbrance might be an addiction, a health issue, financial adversity, or a deep emotional injury.
Or, this might be about the throngs of believers in bondage to religion. They have no freedom or ability to walk with the Living Christ. They are bound by laws and works.
All that is required is for the afflicted to seriously reach out to God. This will cause God to move heaven and earth to deliver those in bondage.
The penalty of sin is death and destruction.
We have an obligation to God to bind evil on earth as it is in Heaven.
The Christ follower must live in the blood of Christ and seek repentance from sin. This is a lifelong endeavor.
We must also pray vigilantly and be in touch with the Living Christ.
The Holy Spirit will bring up those anchored to the heavy metal ball and show you how to pray under the auspices of the resurrected power of Christ.
God is at work in you to will and to work for His good pleasure. Are you on His team?
