There are some places that I put strategic scriptures, and one place in on my refrigerator. I know how important it is to be encouraged, so I encourage myself in the Word, every time I open my refrigerator! One freedom scripture I keep really handy is from Is 61:1 which was quoted by Jesus in Luke 4:18. It says:
The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
Because He has anointed me
To preach the good news to the poor.
He sent me to bind up the broken hearted,
To proclaim FREEDOM for the captives,
And the release from darkness for the prisoners
Of course we know that is what Jesus came to do, but we know that is our mission too. He has commissioned us as His hands and His feet on the earth. He sent us out to tell the good news, and it is about freedom! God’s Spirit lives within us, and He has anointed and appointed us. Let’s be about bringing freedom to those who are bound! We run into people all the time who are broken hearted and are prisoners to something. Let’s use our words to let them know that Jesus died to set them free. They can know the same freedom we have experienced. Remember, God’s spirit is on you and in you to help others. Open your mouth and let them know! He whom the son sets free is free indeed.
If you are still bound in some way, why not make this the week to break free….from habits, from negative thoughts, from ungodly actions, what ever it may be. Let those who were once bound, now say I am free!
