The spirit of the Lord says, “I am about the business of breaking my people out from walls of confinement. Where you have been imprisoned by fear, disobedience and inactivity, I am calling you into freedom. Where there was domesticity and smallness there will be a wildness and a spaciousness. You will spread out to the left and to the right. I am taking you out of confinement into freedom and opportunity.
I’ve heard your cries just like I heard the cries of my people in Egypt. The time is now to pull you out of the slavery of religion. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Just as my people were led from the cruel confinement of Egypt into the wild freedom of the wilderness, I am taking you out from systems of control into rhythms of divine provision and instruction. Where you see wilderness, I see wild opportunity. Where you may see the desolation of what is, I will show you joy and freedom in the new. This wilderness season will look uncomfortable because it requires a deepening of daily dependency and reliance on me.”
Activation: As you stay in intimacy with the Lord, ask him to show you where you have been confined and where you’ve accepted a small mindset that has limited what he could do in your life. Repent from partnering with any spirit of religion and ask Holy Spirit to show you how to go beyond your limits, old ways, and formulas through embracing deeper dependency and reliance on Him.
Isaiah 54:3 (NIV)
For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
Exodus 20:2
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Galatians 5:1 (NIV)
It was for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
