Zechariah 9: 11-12 ‘ As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee’

DAILY READING; Matthew 12:22-50; Leviticus 15-16; Proverbs 27

Alice Marie Johnson lived a stable life as a manager at FedEx, a wife, and a mother until a financially tumultuous period in her life turned things upsidedown. After losing her job, she began to help drug sellers distribute drugs as a way of paying off her mounting debts. In 1996, she and her daughter, Catina, were arrested for involvement in a cocaine trafficking organization.
In this time of trouble, Alice turned to God promising to serve Him if only He would let her daughter, Catina be set free. God answered her prayers and the charges against Catina were dropped. In keeping to her promise Alice began serving God, even though she herself received a life sentence for her criminal activities.
Locked behind bars, prison officers told her that she would not leave prison until she died. But she refused to believe them, rather she relied on the faith that God was able to do a miracle to set her free.
One day she had a dream where she was set free from prison and also other prisoners told her about having dreams of her release from prison in which the media covered the event.
Alice became an ordained minister in the prison and helped to mentor other imprisoned women.
In 2017, she was selected by Google to speak from prison at a YouTube Summit on criminal justice reform. After the program, Alice was asked to do a short video opinion editorial. This video which dropped on October 23 2017 immediately went viral. Two days later on October 25, 2017, Kim Kardashian West happened to be scrolling through Twitter when she came across this four-minute video of Alice’s story.
She was so impressed that she took up Alice’s case, which was eventually brought to the attention of President Donald Trump. He granted Alice clemency in 2018 and she was freed from the prison in a media covered event that was aired nationally.
Her book titled ‘After Life: My Journey from Incarceration to Freedom’ captures her story of how her unshakeable faith in God helped to set her free from a lifetime imprisonment.

Alice’s story displays the power of faith. She was not the only woman serving a life sentence, but when she chose to engage her faith miracles began to happen.
Certainly, what we believe is what we receive in life.
There is, therefore need for us to grow in knowledge of God’s Word to obtain the faith that will establish our freedom from every form of bondage.
Christ has obtained mercy and deliverance for us at the cross. Therefore refuse every negative condition the enemy tries to impose on you. Perhaps the enemy is telling you that you will remain in the prison of sickness, poverty, unemployment, loneliness etc.. Refuse and refute those negative reports. You are serving the miracle-working God, who can do inexplicable wonders. As long as you have faith anything is possible in your life.
No matter how inescapable or insurmountable any obstacle, certainly, through the Blood there is victory for you.
Don’t accept that you will live in any bondage for the rest of your life. Perhaps they have said in your lineage certain negative traits obtain, but as a Blood-bought child of the living God, believe that your case is different.
By the Blood of Jesus you have been set free from every waterless pit.
Life is essentially a warfare. It is therefore time to engage the weapon of the Blood to secure your freedom from every demonic oppression. Redemption has re-positioned you for eternal victory over every curse of life.
Don’t watch what you don’t want. You have only one life and there is no duplicate or spare. Determine today by faith to break out of every spiritual captivity and begin to live the fruitful and fulfilling life that God has ordained for you.
It is unto every man according to his faith.
Therefore today, by faith, begin to proclaim that every siege of bondage is over in your life! Truly by the Blood you have been set free.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the eternal victory You have given me through the precious Blood of Jesus. And today by the mystery of the Blood of Jesus I declare my freedom from every oppression and bondage in Jesus Name.
