Setting Captives Free
The Anointing has a special ability to release people from captivity. Having been given the keys of the Kingdom, we now have a responsibility to unlock the chains that hold people captive. Yet in these days, we are seeing more people trapped in compulsive bondage to all sorts of things: alcohol, sex, porn, entertainment, TV, drugs, adrenaline, food…the list can go on and on. It’s not that all the things that ensnare people are inherently evil, its more a factor of people clinging to certain things that meet a need rather than turning to God as our source in life.
God promises to supply all our need according to His great riches. We all need any number of things. Need is not bad, but it must be acknowledged to the Lord and exchanged for His satisfaction. He supplies in the most precious ways and in personal dimensions that are truly liberating.
As the drama to release the Shipping Captain from the control of the Somali Pirates unfolded, my heart is challenged by the strategy that worked to set this captive free. A team of Navy Seals went in and each focused on eliminating a dangerous threat. By each taking a united action with a kill shot to the head, 3 gunmen were brought down, a pirate taken into custody, and a captive was set free.
In the spiritual Kingdom dimension, how often do we really take that kind of action. Most times, our focus is to work with the captive to try and get them to simply walk out with us. We seem to focus our energy on getting people saved rather than delivered. Is there a way to make a spiritual action that works like making a kill shot on a captor? By using kingdom keys, we are able to bind the enemy so captives can safely be liberated.
As stakes are raised in our kingdom conflicts, we are best encouraged to learn from such a strategic level strike force who work together to make a plan, and execute it with perfect timing and syncronized teamwork. Head shots are most effective at neutralizing the enemy threat.
Deliver Us From Evil
Lord, we thank you that you reign supreme. You alone are Sovereign God, there is none who compares with you. We acknowledge that you alone are our Savior, Our Provider, Our Deliver. We trust in You, and You alone!
We thank you that no weapon formed against us shall prosper and that you have told us to condemn every tongue that rises up against us in judgement. Lord, Your Love for us sustains us and keeps our hearts and mind stayed on you. Nothing can ever separate us from your love.
We honor You today Lord. We honor your name and do not take Your All Powerful Name in vain to simply consume its benefits selfishly to fulfill the lusts of our flesh or the lusts of our eyes. Cleanse us where we have been moved to seek our comfort rather than your heart. Today we affirm our devotion to you. May our lives be in complete alignment with this prayer by Your inner Working in us Holy Spirit.
Now Lord, lead us not into areas where our hearts may be vulnerable and tempted to dishonor your name. Deliver us from evil itself and the influence of those who are motivated by the evil one. You are manifest to destroy the works of the evil one. Be manifest in our life and the situations we face. Be strength in every conflict. God of Peace, CRUSH SATAN UNDER OUR FEET!
Lord, in our weakness be strong. We acknowledge we are absolutely dependent upon You. We trust in You Lord and praise you for your Victory in our lives and in our land.
Leave us not at the mercy of wicked and unscrupulous men.
