Psalm 124:7-8 ‘Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth..’
DAILY READING; – 2 Peter 1; Jeremiah 41-42; Psalm 139
In the days of slavery in America, black people who arrived from Africa to America faced a life of such cruelty that many were desperate to escape by all means.
A black man named Henry Brown later became famous for crafting a brilliant plan of escape.
After his wife and children were sold and shipped away to another state in 1848, Henry Brown resolved to escape slavery by any means necessary. With the help of some friends, he hatched a desperate plan to ship himself from Richmond to Philadelphia in a wooden crate. On March 23, 1849, Brown wedged himself into a three-by-two-foot box labeled “dry goods” and settled in for a long journey via wagon, steamboat and railroad to the home of abolitionist James Miller McKim, who was helping slaves to escape to states where slavery had been outlawed.
Henry Brown only had a few biscuits and some water as supplies, and during one leg of the trip, his crate was placed upside down on the deck of a steamship. Brown was left sitting on his head for 90 minutes, his eyes “swelling as if they would burst from their sockets.” He nearly passed out before two unsuspecting passengers flipped the box over to use it as a seat.
Brown arrived safely in Philadelphia after 27 grueling hours inside the cramped confines of the box. His incredible story made him a minor celebrity and his brilliance was applauded by many.
It has been said that desperation is the mother of invention. When a man is desperate enough he can devise ways to break free from any bondage.
Likewise, when it comes to gaining spiritual freedom, we need to exercise desperation and do all that is necessary to break free from anything that tries to keep us in spiritual slavery.
We are living in the last days, when the enemy is working overtime to keep people enslaved through diverse bondages such as adultery, lusts, addictions, greed, etc.
Anyone who obeys these lures of sin becomes a slave to them.
Romans 6:15-16 says ‘ You are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?’
As a blood-bought covenant child of the living God, you have been redeemed to live in freedom and dominion, therefore do not give room to the devil in any area of your life. It is dangerous to do so because sin is a sinker that quickly destroys destinies.
If you find yourself struggling with any bondage, you must act quickly to free yourself and refuse to keep tolerating whatever is watering down your Christian testimony.
Life is essentially a warfare and the violent take it by force. Through engaging the weapon of the Blood of Jesus, we can secure total freedom from every spiritual slavery.
Knowledge of God’s Word is the key to freedom. When you gain in-depth knowledge of God’s Word, you will know the truth that sets free.
Certainly, today, by the power in the Blood of Jesus, our soul has escaped as a bird out of every snare of the fowler; the snare is broken, and we are escaped, truly our help is in the Name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth [Psalm 124:7-8].
PRAYER: Lord, Today I invoke the speaking of the Blood of Jesus against everything fighting my destiny. I declare that by the mystery of the Blood I have broken free from every captivity, to live in dominion and victory in Jesus Name.
