Break free from your bondage and traps!

The Lord says: 

"This is the time to break free! Many shall be set free from their past. Many shall be set free from their bondages. Many shall be set free from their past practices and man-made traditions that have bound them. There is a breaking free in the spirit. For I am doing a new thing in the midst of My people. Spiritual eyes are being enlightened and opened. Do not be bound by the old that holds you back and limits you. But receive My power to break free and walk into the greater things that I have for you." 

What is the definition of 'break free'? You can define it as 'to be set free from whatever that limits you', or 'to be set free from your bondage, chains and traps'.

What are the areas in your life that you know it's time to break free? Or what are the areas in your life that you know the Lord has told you to move on and embrace the new?

For some, it may be a certain friendship or association that has become toxic. For others, it may be certain people who have been taking advantage of you continuously, and the Lord is saying to you, "It's time for you to break free!" Yet for some others, it may be certain people who have been manipulative against you or have 'enslaved' you.

So, different people different situation. But the Lord will specifically speak to you. May your spiritual ears be sensitized to hear and receive from Him.

The Lord says further: 

"A change of direction is happening to many of My people in this time and season. Do not be afraid to embrace the change. It is a change to the better. My hand is with you, and I will be with you. I will begin to show you your new 'blueprint' going forward, if you look to Me."

That's exactly what happened to Moses when he led God's people to break free from the stranglehold of the Pharaoh those days. You see, they've had enough of the bondage and slavery in Egypt. As they cried out to the Lord, the Lord began to show them a 'blueprint' and a plan to move on from that bondage and slavery. 

In Exodus 6:5-6, the Lord spoke to Moses, "I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. Therefore say to the children of Israel: 'I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.'" 

Henceforth, the process of breaking free began. To cut the whole story short, after the tenth plague in Egypt, the time had come for God's people to finally break free. By the leading and the hand of the Lord, they left Egypt. 

However, the Egyptians continued to pursue them. They would not give up so easily. They were not willing to let them go just like that. They wanted to pull them back into the bondage and slavery. 

By the way, the word 'Egypt' has also been mentioned as 'Mizraim' in Hebrew, and this word comes from the word 'matsuwr', which means 'to limit, to besiege, to surround in order to capture it'. 

That's exactly what happened to God's people prior to them breaking free. They have been held bondage. They have been limited. They have been stifled. They have been enslaved. In fact, day after day, their burdens became heavier and heavier. So they cried out to the Lord, and the Lord answered them. 

You see, the Lord your God is not dead. He is The Great I Am. He is great, and He is greatly to be praised. With signs and wonders, and miracles, He made a way of escape for God's people those days, even in ways unimaginable to human minds. 

As God's people reached the Red Sea, they didn't know what to do next. They thought they were going to be recaptured and put into bondage again. But Moses said to them: "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you."

Beloved of God, just as in Moses' days, you too can be set free from your bondage and traps, whatever it may be! The Lord is releasing upon you the power and the anointing to break free right now! Receive by faith! Receive also the wisdom, direction, and guidance from the Lord, every step of the way. New things are coming in your life! Better things are coming in your life! Hallelujah!

Faith that removes your 'mountain'!

The Lord wants to tell you this: 

"Stay strong! Continue to receive My strength and My power to overcome! Continue to receive My strength and My power to remove the 'mountain' that you are facing at the moment! Do not give up receiving. Do not give up believing. And do not let yourself to doubt. Have faith in Me. Declare that your 'mountain' is removed, and receive your breakthrough, miracle and healing now!" 

I'm going to explain to you what this 'mountain' means. 

But before we go to the Scripture, let's understand what 'faith' is. Now, 'faith' simply means 'our trust, confidence and reliance upon somebody or something'. So, 'faith in God' means 'our trust, confidence and reliance upon the Lord'. That's as simple as we can describe what faith is. 

So, whatever obstacle, problem, or 'mountain' you may be facing at the moment, have faith in God that the obstacle, problem, or 'mountain' shall be removed. 

Maybe it's a health problem. Maybe it's in your career or your business. Maybe it's a challenging situation in your family. Yet for some others, it may be in the ministry. It may even be financial challenges. Different people different. But whatever it is, the Lord is here to release His strength and His power upon you! 

I declare there will be a solution for you, no matter what you are facing at the moment, even the most impossible situation. 

Let's go to Mark 11:22-24 (NKJV). Here, Jesus says, "Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." 

That's what Jesus says. It's in the Scripture. Let's take God at His Word! 

What is this 'mountain' that we are talking about? For the record, 'mountain' here was a common expression among the Hebrews those days to mean 'difficulties, obstacles, challenges'. In those days, this was a common way to describe 'an insurmountable problem'. It means to man, it may be too great to overcome. It's insurmountable. But to God, all things are possible. Nothing is impossible to those who believe. 

So, the phrase 'remove the mountain' here can be understood as 'remove the difficulties, obstacles, or challenges in your life'. In other words, Jesus meant that if we believe and do not doubt, whatever your problem may be in your life, it shall be overcome, no matter how 'insurmountable' or impossible it may seem right now. 

There will be an answer. There will be a solution. There will be a breakthrough. There will be a victory. But you've got to believe and receive by faith. 

Notice also, Jesus says: "Speak to the mountain!" Here, Jesus never says: "Speak about the mountain!" You see, there's a big difference between speaking to the mountain and speaking about the mountain. In other words, Jesus never says just merely talking or discussing about the mountain. But Jesus says speaking to the mountain: "Be removed, and be cast into the sea!" It means He is telling us to speak directly to whatever the 'mountain' we face to get out of the way. 

What is the 'mountain' that you are facing at the moment? Speak to it: "Be removed, and be cast into the sea!" And never to surface again!

Those who are in the world or those who do not know Jesus may think we are just being foolish or absurd. They may think this is ridiculous. They may think this is nonsense. Well, whatever they want to think, it's their problem. Not your problem. Because you are just taking God at His Word. You are just doing what God says in the Scripture. You are just doing what God says in His Word.  

You see, you are different from those in the world. Why? Because your faith is in God; not in man, not in any organization in this world, or whatever that's in the world. You look to the Lord. You have a supernatural God. You have a miracle-working God. A God in whom nothing is impossible. Amen! 

But some of you may say, "What if nothing happens right away?" Or "What if my problem still persists?" Or "What if my situation never change immediately?" 

Don't give up. Your God is not a dead God. Don't allow yourself to doubt. Just believe somehow God will take over, and the mountain will eventually be removed. You see, if you have prayed in faith, consider it done in the spirit. Yes, I say again. Consider it done in the spirit. It shall then be reflected in the physical realm in ways that your physical eyes can see. Just don't limit how God is going to do it. It may not be in ways that you think or presume. God can work in ways that we cannot imagine yet. 

Let's continue with the Scripture now. In Mark 11:25 (NKJV), just one verse later, Jesus says further: "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses." 

Now, here lies a key to seeing your 'mountain' be removed. What is that? It's forgiveness. So, it's not just about lacking faith or having doubts. But unforgiveness can also hinder our prayer. So, if you want your 'mountain' or problem in your life be removed, start forgiving. Start letting go. Don't keep those hurts. Don't keep those bitterness. Release those who have sinned against you or hurt you. Release them from the prison of your heart. Let them go. Have a big heart. Ask God to touch you in this area. This is how your 'mountain' can be removed. 

Now, this is not my idea or what I say. But this is what Jesus says in the Word of God. I'm just quoting what Jesus says here. One key to seeing your 'mountain' be removed is forgiveness. Let go. Yes, let go and it will flow. Good things will flow in your life, going forward. 

Your 'mountain' shall be removed. Your problem shall be solved. Your obstacle shall be overcome. I'm not talking big here. But I'm talking about the big God that we have. Nothing is too big or too difficult for Him. So, let's take Him at His Word. Yes and Amen!
