Bondage Breaker, Freedom Giver

UV 3561/10000 Bondage Breaker, Freedom Giver I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves; and I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright (with heads held high as free men). Leviticus 26 v 13 The Lord confirms His covenant of love with us in many ways. He gives us rain in its due season and causes our crops to multiply. It is a metaphor for His blessing hand upon our work so that it will get the necessary support and inputs and so turn out to be productive. Our needs would be met and we will live in security. He grants us peace so that no one can threaten or make us afraid. He will eliminate threats and dangers to our lives. He will empower and equip us so that we can put our enemies-physical and spiritual to flight. He will look towards us with favour and regard. He will dwell in us and among us. This should make us realize that we are actually living and moving in the kingdom of God and the kingdom of God exists in us, too. As kings, we decree, rule, war on His behalf. As priests, we pray, praise, worship, commune, teach on His behalf. We are no longer slaves of sin and death. The Lord has broken the invisible cords or chains that held us back as prisoners and slaves. These chains or bands of yoke had made us walk in shame and fear in the past. Now, we are able to walk upright in the ways, word and will of God. This is true freedom. Our spirits, minds and bodies are set free from any limiting belief and restricting habit. We can walk with our heads held high. We can walk with confidence, hope and joy. We have been called out of Egypt, the symbol of our bondage and disgrace into freedom and grace. The Lord promises in His word that He is with us as the Great I am, implying that He will manifest Himself in our lives as wisdom when we need wisdom, power when we need power, love when we need love, strength when we need strength, comfort when we need comfort, peace and security at all times. He promises not to reject us, not to separate His soul from us.
