Freedom from Bondage

“I am the Lord Jesus, your Savior and tender shepherd.  Declare these words unto my people for your gathering upon our holy Sabbath day.  Heed my words, and let them lead you to the fullness of the heavenly light.  These are the ways to freedom from bondage.

1. You are in bondage when there are things in your life which trouble you, and weaknesses that you fail to overcome.  You know the mountains that you have been unable to overcome.  In the power of my name and my blood you have the keys to freedom.  Pray the blood upon the barrier, and praise and worship when temptation returns.  Do not be weak, use the power given.

2. The bondage in many lives is past events and memories.  You listen to the whisperer who reminds you of your past error.  This causes guilt, and in your guilt you become to feel unworthy.  In an unworthy state you are easily defeated.  What man among you is truly worthy of my death?  My death is my gift, and the gift from the Father.  Use the power of my name, and speak my name when past failures lead to sadness and surrender.

3. The chains of darkness are like wild vines which will grow if not taken out by the root.  You remove them through confession and repentance, but then allow the root back in when you revisit your barriers and weaknesses through thoughts and memories.  Thoughts are seeds, and you must plant only the good seed.  The spiritual battle my people often lose is fought within your mind, for the body without direction will not sin.  Deep confession and repentance will remove the chains that hold you captive.

4. Bondage to sin and weakness is a barrier to the light and a barrier to our fullness.  To walk as anointed ones you must be free from the bondage of the flesh.  You must break the chains of pride, arrogance, envy, lust and greed.  You must be pure.  I have the key to complete and wonderful freedom, use the power within, for the power within is greater than the power without.

5. Look to the examples of our nation, Israel.  See how they could not break the pattern of sin to make lasting change.  Look to see the actions which led to the restoration of our light.  There are things that if followed, will lead to light.  Seek the place of knowing, for it is a place where sin will no longer have dominion over you.  Learn from your past error, but do not look upon the past with longing.

6. Prayer is your greatest power and shall be as a mighty weapon to bring down the walls of darkness.  You have allowed strongholds within your life.  You gave place to Satan, and he took advantage of every opportunity given.  Prayer upon thy knees is a mighty light.  When you feel weak, pray, when Satan whispers, pray.  I am within, and I am the victorious light of heaven.  I will hear, and I will strengthen, and I will rescue.

7. Fasting combined with prayer is a two-edged sword.  You know the power of praise and worship, which are weapons of great power.  You have a full quiver of arrows, yet you fail to take up your bow.  You fail to unsheathe your sword.  The power of deliverance from sin- past, present, and future, is yours.  There is great power in these words given unto our remnant people.  The arrows are throughout, seek them, and place them within thy quiver, and use them.  Use the forehead of flint, the armor of light, and stand as warriors.  Why must you be as sheep to slaughter when I have made you mighty warriors of light?  Stand up and fight like men.  Stand in the truth, the power, and the light which has been given unto you.”
