DAY 6 – He is over bondage

Devotion

There are times in our lives that we can find ourselves in bondage to something. These bondages can manifest themselves in addictions where we don’t seem to have power over a desire to do something sinful or destructive to ourselves or others. These can be demonic strongholds or simply a bad habit that we have formed through repetition. Whatever the case, these bondages negatively affect us. When we want to stop, we find ourselves unable to and that’s when guilt and shame start to plague us. These negative emotions eat away at our self worth and our relationship with God. We find it harder to believe God because we don’t think we are good enough to receive His love or forgiveness. But God doesn’t want us bound! He instead wants us free from all bondages. Thank God for Jesus who came to set us free. He destroyed the work of the enemy and the power of the flesh. Jesus is over it all! Maybe you need to pray a prayer of deliverance today and allow Jesus to break every chain and set you free from all negative emotions. Instead, receive His freedom, His love, His forgiveness and His grace to walk free.

Prayer

Jesus, I thank You that You have set me free from all bondages. You have broken every chain that would try to entangle itself around me and You have broken the power of the enemy over my life. Today, I can walk free because of Your completed work upon the cross. I am sorry I have allowed myself to become dependent upon something else other than You. I fall out of agreement with every lie that the enemy would tell me or my flesh would tempt me to believe. I am Yours, Jesus, and I submit myself to Your will for my life. Set me free today, Jesus, by the power of Your precious blood.

I pray this in the name of Jesus!
Amen.
