Freedom!

Key Scripture: John 8:26 (NIV) and Isaiah 61:1 (NIV)

³⁶So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

¹ The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
       because the LORD has anointed me
       to preach good news to the poor.
       He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
       to proclaim freedom for the captives
       and release from darkness for the prisoners…

General Prayer Focus: Personal Freedom

Specific Prayer Focus: Freedom from spiritual bondage

Prayer: Father, I thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to the earth that He might bring me freedom from my bondage!  I thank You for anointing Him with Your Spirit to proclaim freedom to the captives and to release prisoners from darkness!

Jesus, today I ask that You would break in to my life and set me free from everything that hinders me from loving You fully.  I ask that You would set me free from the bondage of the enemy that keeps me weighed down in my heart and that You would deliver me from his oppression.  Where I feel weak and broken and unable to conquer these struggles, I ask that You would come with Your power and strength and might and overcome the enemy on my behalf! 

I confess that I have allowed some of this bondage into my life through my own sinful choices and I repent, asking for Your forgiveness and for You to cleanse me.  I break my agreement with darkness and with the lies of the enemy and I ask for the grace to say “Yes” to Your ways and Your will for my life.  Today I choose to listen to and believe the truth of what You say about me and to walk in the authority that You have given my through Your Name. 

I thank You that You are the One who sets me free and that I am free indeed!  Help me to walk out the freedom that You have given me and fill me to overflowing with Your Holy Spirit.  For every bondage that You deliver me from, would You replace it with Your presence and Your love.  In Your Holy Name, Amen.
