PRAISE GOD, THE PRISON DOOR IS OPEN!

You don't have to live in condemnation!

Jesus came to liberate you!
God sent His Word to heal you!
In the Kingdom of God it's never the end,
It's always the beginning!

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me

Because He has anointed me to
Preach the Gospel to the poor!

He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted.

To proclaim liberty to the captives and
Recovery of sight to the blind.

To set at liberty those who are oppressed.

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord…

Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.
Luke 4:18,19,21
 

We Are The Liberated

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death." 
(Romans 8:1-2)

"Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." (Romans 8:21)

Our Most Gracious Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the glorious liberty I enjoy in you! I receive your liberty and revel in it! Your liberty produces joy. Your joy produces strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) I overcome sin, not by struggling with it, but by seeing myself as you see me --  righteous! You no longer call me a sinner, but a righteous new creation in Christ!  (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).  My liberty and righteousness does not lead me into sin, it leads me from it! 

Thank you for the gift of eternal righteousness. (Romans 5:17) Righteousness makes me free. I am the liberated body of
Christ. I am free from the law of sin and death. I am free from the curse of the law.  I am free to minister your Word with boldness.  I am free to love.  I am free to be myself. I am free from my past.  I am free from worry, anxiety and fear. I am free to be joyous.  I am free to be victorious. I am free from self-righteousness, because Jesus is my righteousness.
(1 Corinthian 1:30)

Jesus became bound so I could be free!
He went to the cross so I would never have to!
He took the nails so I would never have to!

Praise God – No More Condemnation!
Praise God – No More Nails!

NO MORE NAILS!
NO MORE NAILS!!
NO MORE NAILS!!!

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him,
"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.  
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
John 8:31,32

MY DECLARATION OF LIBERATION

I am in Christ.
We are a winning team.
We are seated together in heavenly places in power and glory.
I declare my complete independence from all bondage.
I declare my freedom from all oppression.
I declare my authority over all darkness.
Jesus dwells in me,
and greater is He Who is in me than he who is in the world.
I'm saved! I'm healed! I'm free!
I'm a love child.
Love never fails!
My faith overcomes the world!   
My needs are met!
I am not moved by what I see.
I am not moved by what I hear.
I am not moved by what I feel.
I am only moved by God's Word,
Jesus is alive!
He is Lord! He is God!
He is mine!

   HALLELUJAH!

IN HIM

Over and over and over again, the New Testament says,
I am In Christ.  I am not trying to get in. I'm not almost in.
I am Now In Him.
I am now In Him.

I am liberated in Him
(Romans 8:1-2)

I am a New Creation in Him
(II Corinthians 5:17)

I am righteous in Him
(II Corinthians 5:21)

I am complete in Him
(Colossians 2:10)

I am healed in Him
(I Peter 2:24)

I am blessed in Him
(Ephesians 1:3)

I am victorious in Him
(I Corinthians 15:57)

WALKING THROUGH THE VALLEY

"Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." 
(Psalm 23:4)

I may be down today, but help is on the way!

The valleys of life do not scare or intimidate me, because I walk through them, I do not dwell in them. 

I am the liberated Body of Christ, and the valleys are not big enough to hold me in bondage. 

The prison door is wide open and I refuse to stay inside. 

I will fear no evil, nor will I perish in any valley, for you are with me, for me and in me.

With every valley comes a way of escape!
(1 Corinthian 10:13)

The valleys may come but the Lord delivers me out of them all!
 (Psalm 34:17)

I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST!

I AM FAR FROM OPPRESSION.

I SHALL NOT FEAR.

I AM FAR FROM TERROR.

IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME.

(My personalized paraphrase of Isaiah 54:14)
