1 John 3:8 “For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that he might undo the works of the devil.”.
DAILY READING – Acts 10:34-48; Joshua 9-10; Job 25
Sandy Boyd came from a family that had practiced witchcraft for generations. Her grandmother introduced her to witchcraft at a young age. At only nine years, her father who was a satanist introduced her to drugs and she became addicted.
Sandy desired a better life and at 17 years, she ran away from home and got married. She gave birth to a daughter but her marriage ended shortly after.
One night, as she lay in bed, she saw about an eight-foot-tall, hooded figure who pointed to her and told her it was time for her to teach her daughter the witchcraft her grandmother had taught her.
Sandy didn’t want her daughter to be caught in the vicious occultic cycle of her family. So she decided she would commit suicide so that her daughter would be adopted by a normal family and live a better life.
On the day she planned to kill herself, Sandy drove out to a remote area, sobbing, she brought out a razor blade to slash her wrist. But at that moment her hand fell back and touched a small book in between her seat and the console. She picked it up, and found it was a Gideons New Testament Bible.
She had no idea how the book got there and had never seen it in the several years she had been driving the car. She put the razor blade down and thumbing through the small Bible she got to the back pages and saw a sample sinner’s prayer. She read the prayer aloud, and right there gave her life to Jesus Christ!
The next day, she called her former father-in-law, who was a pastor and the only Christian she knew. He paid for plane tickets for Sandy and her daughter to come and stay with him and his wife in Texas. During the next three years of staying with the pastors family, Sandy grew strongly in faith and severed every tie to the occult. She is a first-generation Christian in her family. She got married in 2005 and today she and her husband pastor a church in Garland, Texas.
Her story is captured in her book titled ‘Transformed’
Sandy Boyd would have been doomed to a destiny of occultic bondage but Jesus miraculously delivered her. The important issue of Christmas is not so much that Jesus came, but why He came. Jesus came to set the captives free.
1 John 3:8 says “For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that he might undo the works of the devil.”.
While we commemorate the birth of Christ, we must keep in mind that His birth was just the first step in God’s glorious plan for our redemption.
In a world full of spiritual wickedness, Jesus was born to die and deliver us from every satanic bondage
He shed His Blood to break the devil’s stranglehold on the lives of men.
Through Christ, our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers (Psalm 124:7).
Christmas is about how God has touched our lives with his love by sending His Son to free us from captivity.
As we prepare to cross over into the new year, the Blood of Jesus will certainly destroy every pharaoh still trying to keep us in bondage. The Egyptians we saw in 2022 we shall see them no more forever.
None of the sickness, financial instability, relationship crisis and other troubles of 2022 shall cross over with us. Surely affliction shall not arise a second time.
Let us therefore keep praising God for going before us to break the gates of brass, cut asunder the bars of iron and usher us into our glorious new season .
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your great deliverance in my life. Thank You for sending Jesus to the earth to set me eternally free. As I praise You today, I know that You are granting me victory in every area of my life in Jesus Name. ..
