John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
As we reflect on today’s date, we are reminded of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended the enslavement of African Americans. This monumental event in the 1800s still resonates today, as many continue to walk in bondage, enslaved by the enemy. This bondage may come in various forms: drugs, alcohol, guilt, shame, unforgiveness, bitterness, depression, anger, debt, hatred—the list goes on.
You are no longer a slave to anyone. Just as the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln to declare freedom for enslaved people, your freedom from Satan has been signed and sealed by the blood of Jesus. You have free will and the right to be free unless you choose to remain bound.
You may think, “I don’t know how to be free; I’ve been enslaved for so long.” If that is your heart’s cry, say, “Jesus, I want to be free from ___________, and I need Your help.” Ask Him to give you scriptures to stand on, scriptures that will sink deep into your spirit where no one can take the revelation from you. When you have His Word in you, you are free.
Remember, the one whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Let Jesus be your Lord today. Let today be the day of salvation and the end of slavery. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
