Free From Captivity

Good Morning Beauties!
I love the sound of freedom. I can hear it in laughter, cries, words spoken, and sweet voices singing. Can you hear it too? Where do you hear the sound of freedom? Do you hear it within yourself? Selah.
In Isaiah 61, the Bible tells us Jesus came to “set the captives free.” The picture that comes to mind is of a bird who longs to fly, but is held captive in her cage. She sees the potential beyond the door of flying - doing what she was made to do, but the door is closed and locked - she is held captive.
By His grace and mercy, Jesus Christ has opened the door and set us free! We have the freedom to live up to our potential and be all He created us to be. Do you believe it? Then why don’t we see ourselves or each other living this kind of life? Why are we still burdened? Still weighed down? Still held captive?
The door is open, but we are still sitting in the cage. The enemy lies to me and says, “Who do you think you are to have big dreams?” “If you tell people your dreams, they’ll think you’re insane.” Insecurity and fear hold me captive at times and prevent me from leaving my cage. What holds you captive in your cage? Selah.
I pray today for all of us to be set free from the lies that keep us captive. I pray we believe in the truths of God and will follow him through the cage door, never to return. I pray we receive healing for those places that have left wounds in our hearts. I pray we can celebrate God’s awesome power to fulfill all His promises and that our trust in Him will be complete.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
“A Life Of Freedom
Let me be clear, the Anointed One has set us free—not partially, but completely and wonderfully free! We must always cherish this truth and stubbornly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past.”
