I’m starting to realize more and more that I am surrounded by many people in my life who are dealing with bondage, darkness, and oppression. So many people I am close to are just battling with things, many of whom aren’t even aware of the spiritual side to what they’re dealing with. It saddens me to know that within me is the same Spirit of God that raised Christ from the dead, but often I feel so powerless to deal with the things Jesus already conquered on the cross. The same glory that the Father gave to Jesus, He has given to me, yet I struggle to manifest that glory in such an inkling of a way to be able to walk in the ministry of Christ and bring liberty to the captives. Whether it be bondage to addictions, disease, sickness, or demons, it all falls under the authority of Christ and was defeated with His work on the cross. I must learn how to walk in such a manner as to receive that anointing and authority to deliver the one’s in chains.
Jesus, please teach me to walk in the power that you carried upon the earth. Teach me how to bring liberty to the captives and break the yoke of bondage in peoples lives. Please give me the love required to bring freedom to those whom you love and died for.
