Release From All Bondage
The LORD is gracious and merciful in all that He does.
The LORD is the wise and wonderful counselor to all who call upon Him in truth and willingness to change.
He is merciful to those who do not deserve mercy. He is kind to the ungrateful. He is merciful to all who will come to him.
He is looking for those who will in this judgment on the wicked, be merciful and kind when they start looking for answers.
He is not wanting a message of hate and judgment to go forth from the lips of his own, but a message of love and kindness — a message of Hope and Grace.
“but love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the most high, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 be merciful, just as your father is merciful,” Luke 6:34-36.
If you who are called by His Name, cannot even be gracious and forgiving to each other, then how will you demonstrate to those who don’t know of His Love a heart of mercy and kindness?
If you cannot demonstrate a heart of forgiveness to your own family who have wronged you, and show impatience to those who you are supposed to love, then how will you manage under the stress of the times to come to show patience to those I AM is drawing to you?
“The only way you will be enabled to do this is through Me, and through spending time in My presence. So I AM calling out to you a warning trumpet!
Come, and dwell in My presence and ask for gold refined in the fire! Ask for Me to heal and to impart love that you can show it to others and even to yourself.
For some of you haven’t even forgiven yourselves for things that I have long forgiven you for. It is only pride that keeps you from the fullness of My Grace and Mercy.
For if you refuse to receive what I give, it is like you are saying… ”No! You can’t forgive me, I’m too bad!“ — as if you know more than I know and as if you stubbornly adhere to your own opinion of you over mine!
It is time to accept My Grace. I AM for you and not against you.
I feel this way about each and every believer. I know the one who has been unable to forgive themselves because of shame.
So I AM coming and I will remove the thorns in the flesh that keep you from the fullness of My Glory, for the one who really knows My love, will be filled with My Glory.
And the one who asks shall receive. Ask and you shall receive, as long as your heart longs for purity and wholeness… you will receive it as I come and cleanse My threshing floors !
I AM about to drive out all bondage to the things of this world, and to the harsh taskmaster of traditions and pharisaism.
I will have a pure and Holy Bride and you will know the tenderness of My Heart towards you as never before. The lack of Truth and Love in My Church will be eradicated.
Many of those caught up in false religion and cults will be saved and whole denominations that have taught wrongly will be redeemed from the curse of the law.
I AM not going to leave things the way they are. But I will again enter My Temples and I will drive out the money changers and those who would keep My children in bondage.
I need to bring this change, because otherwise those who come in the harvest will be brought to the same bondages they have been released from!
I cannot bring in a harvest of souls to The Church as it is. I must bring judgment to the house of The LORD before harvesting comes.
I AM about to catapult many into great change. That is why you have been being purged, and tested, tempted and tormented.
You are under refinement for the final harvest of all time. You cannot steal My glory! I will not have a Church that takes the glory for themselves any longer!
I will cleanse it and heal it. Those who resist will fall on the side of apostasy and be given over to delusion.
But for those whose hearts are humbly seeking me and My will despite inability to be whole as yet… you will see My Glory!
You will be changed by it. I AM the all consuming fire! I will remove bondages of all kinds. Increase your expectations. Increase your vision of how big I AM and how powerful is The Blood of The Lamb !
Know that things you thought could not happen will happen with the faith I AM developing in you. Many will be shocked into submission by the things I do.
Increase faith by staying in The Word and standing on The Word. Use it as a two edged sword to speak to the powers of darkness!
Your LORD is at hand!”
“for I brought you up from the land of Egypt, I redeemed you from the house of bondage; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam,” Micah 6:4.
“for you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, father,”” Romans 8:15.
“because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now,” Romans 8:21-23.
“and this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage), to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you,” Galatians 2:3-5.
“For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise! For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face,” 2 Corinthians 11:19-20.
“But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace,” 1 Corinthians 7:15.
“even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. but when the fullness of the time had come, god sent forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons,” Galatians 4:3-5.
“But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I AM afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain,” Galatians 4:9-11.
“But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar — for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children — but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear!
Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband,” Galatians 4:23-27.
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage,” Galatians 5:1.
“and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham,” Hebrews 2:15-16.
Deceptions of False Teachers
For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.
For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of The LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire,” 2 Peter 2:18-21.
