Day Three: Freedom-- Break Every Chain

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)


-In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and He answered by setting me free. (Psalm 118:5)

 -1 Corinthians 57 tells us, "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come." 

We're different, but why don't we always feel or act differently? Many of us wait for freedom to come in some magical or mysterious way; but freedom is here. It is NOW. Its easy when you've been in bondage so long to develop a habit of thinking and behaving like a prisoner. Well, we were prisoners and slaves to sin. We've all experienced physical, mental, emotional and/or financial bondage at some point in our lives. Because we're new creations and the old is gone, that bondage and sin doesn't define us anymore!Walk in freedom from the lies that Satan has whispered in your ear. Freedom from the pity parties over past mistakes; from impure thoughts, addictions, anything that had you bound. Those chains are broken-that chapter is over! Declare that you are first free in your mind! The word tells us that in order to be changed, we've got to renew our minds. 
It’s freedom we didn't deserve or work for. We may not even understand it, but it's ours! 

Prayer 

Lord, thank you for allowing us to meet together again in prayer. I ask for a special blessing for to those joining in. Tonight my LOV sisters and myself are coming before your throne seeking freedom. Your word says that you came to set the captives free. There are areas in our lives in which we are captive and need Your healing touch and freedom.Free us, Lord, from our addictions, sins, cares of this world, compulsive behaviors, depression, anger, low self esteem, debt, anxiety,lust, impure thoughts, pornography, masturbation, stress, fornication, adultery, bitterness, lying, cheating, hurt, guilt, shame, despair, overrating, gossip...free from anything that clings to us, and those to which we cling. Lord, purge us of anything that's preventing us from becoming what you have planned and purposed for our lives. We accept your invitation to bring our burdens to you and seek relief! We are weary and burdened and need rest. Lord, you're gentle and humble in heart, and extend rest for our souls. Your yoke is easy and your burden is light.Tonight, we stand free from all painful life experiences, from the cares, worries and anything that stifles our happiness. Your spirit is in each of us, and where your spirit is there is freedom...
Father God thank you for another beautiful day. God we're blessed to live in a country where we  have freedom. I declare freedom over all of our LOV sisters in Jesus Name. Every struggle, every debt, every hurt, every addiction, every thought that is separating them from coming closer to You, I bind it in Jesus Name. Father I declare peace over our lives. I thank you for breaking every chain that holds us back from living an empowered life.Thank you God for freeing us from bondage's of sin or anything that is not of You. God I pray peace, freedom, wisdom, guidance, courage, and righteousness. I pray once the shackles are removed from us that bondage will never return to us. 
Lord, I pray for the renewal of our hearts tonight. Renew us God. From this day forward we are new creation, and we are no longer slaves to this world. Thank you Jesus for hearing our prayers, I pray all these.

Lord once again thank you that we have set time apart to pray so that we bless others and be blessed so we can give you the glory you deserve. We need freedom. Freedom from everything that distracts us from being transformed in to Your image. Give us a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit, so that we can cast aside any and everything that troubles us.We ask that you strike down any fears of the future that may reside in our hearts. Fears of the world and Satan. Any fears we may have to be the salt and light of the earth. Any fears concerning our health and finances any worries or doubts about loved ones who may not be saved. You said perfect love casts out fear. So in the name of Jesus we resist anything that seeks to cut us off from your love, blessings and soundness of mind because your word says you haven't given us a spirit of fear but one of a sound mind.Fear is a lack of spiritual freedom and we declare in your name we will not be brought under the power of anything other than Your Spirit.  In Jesus Name we pray mightily and in faith Amen.Thank you Father for the freedom you have purchased for us through Jesus' blood. We are free from sin, free from condemnation, free from pleasing the world and even ourselves. Free to serve you now and for all eternity. Free to be women, feminine and godly...free to do all that you have equipped us to do.
