Bible Reading: Exodus 5:1-2, Luke 11: 21-22
Memory Verse: It shall come to pass in the day the LORD gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve. Isaiah 14:3 (NKJV)
Freedom comes from two words: Free and Dominion. Invariably, you cannot be truly free without exercising your dominion in Christ. If prophecies must come to pass in your life this year 2021, you must fight a good fight of faith.
WHO ARE THOSE IN NEED OF FREEDOM?
1. Those that have been imprisoned by the enemy (Psalms 79:11)
2. Those that have been bound: To bind is to use a material to fasten or tie a thing together. Some people have been tied to a tree. Some have been wrapped and tied from head to toe.
3. Those that have been chained: A life, business, ministry, destiny, hand, leg, city, etc, could be chained in the spirit realm.
4. Those that have been enslaved under a taskmaster to do hard labour e.g. the children of Israel (Exodus 9).
FACTS ABOUT FREEDOM
1. In the kingdom of God, you don’t negotiate freedom. Rather, you demand it forcefully (Matthew 11:12)
2. Silence means consent in spiritual warfare. A closed mouth is a closed destiny.
3. Freedom is not always free. It comes with a cost. You need the anointing
THE MECHANISM OF BONDAGE AND FREEDOM (LUKE 11: 21-22)
3 principal personalities are involved:
1. The Strong man (Luke 11:21): He is not a weak person. He is well armed and fortified. Perhaps he has been sleeping in the dark for many years issuing incantations, or he’s been sleeping in the graveyard generating evil power, or he has been having regular blood bath. Also, the strongman has a palace (coven, evil altar) where he keeps his goods (confisticated blessings of those he oppress). Biblically, Herod and Pharaoh were strongmen.
2. The oppressed: He/She that is bound, chained, or enslaved etc. An example of the oppressed is the children of Israel in Egypt.
3. The Stronger than He: His name is Jesus. He is the head of all principalities and powers (Col. 2:10). It takes one called the principality to head all principalities. He is the Lord of host. Jesus is no match with the devil. Receive your freedom today, in Jesus name.
Quote: No strongman will let you go without a strategic fight – 1 Timothy 6:12
Prophetic Decree: I crush the head of all the strongmen troubling your life, in Jesus name
Prayer Focus
1. Thank You Father because You are the Omnipotent (All-powerful) God.
2. Thou son of David, have mercy upon me, in Jesus name.
3. I silence the roaring sound of the strongman that have refused to let me go, in Jesus name.
4. I paralyze every activity of the strongman working against my finances, marriage, prosperity, etc., in Jesus name.
5. Dark cloud of the enemy over my head, clear away by fire, in Jesus name.
6. Jesus, thou Lord of host, appear in my situation, in Jesus name.
7. I recover my destiny, blessings and fortune from the palace of the strongman, in Jesus name.
