Introduction
Have you ever felt like you are
trapped in a prison of your own making? Have you ever struggled with sin, fear,
addiction, or any other form of bondage that keeps you from living the abundant
life that God has for you? Have you ever wondered if there is a way out of your
situation, a way to break free from the chains that hold you back?
If you answered yes to any of
these questions, then this book is for you. This book is for anyone who wants
to experience God’s freedom and power in their lives. This book is for anyone
who wants to break every bondage and live in victory. This book is for anyone
who wants to discover their identity and destiny as a child of God.
This book is based on the
biblical principles of breaking chains, both literally and figuratively. The
Bible is full of stories of people who were bound by various kinds of chains,
such as slavery, oppression, sickness, sin, fear, addiction, and more. But the
Bible is also full of stories of how God intervened in their lives and set them
free from their chains, giving them a new life and a new purpose.
The Bible also tells us that we
have an enemy, the devil, who wants to keep us in bondage and prevent us from
fulfilling God’s plan for our lives. The devil uses various tactics and
strategies to deceive us, tempt us, accuse us, and oppress us. He wants to
steal, kill, and destroy everything that God has given us. He wants to make us
feel hopeless, helpless, and worthless.
But the Bible also tells us that
we have a Saviour, Jesus Christ, who came to destroy the works of the devil and
to give us life and life more abundantly. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who
became a man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose again from the
dead. He is the Lord of lords and the King of kings, who has all authority in
heaven and on earth. He is the chain breaker, who has the power to break every
chain and set us free.
In this book, I will share with
you the biblical principles of breaking chains, based on the word of God, the
name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the
testimony of our lives. I will also share with you the testimonies of people
who have overcome their chains by God’s grace, both from the Bible and from
history. I will also share with you my own personal testimony of how God broke
the chains in my life and gave me a new life and a new purpose.
My prayer is that as you read
this book, you will be inspired, encouraged, and challenged to break free from
the chains that hold you back and to live the life that God has for you. I pray
that you will experience God’s freedom and power in your life, and that you
will become a chain breaker yourself, who will help others to break their
chains and to live in victory.
Are you ready to break free? Are
you ready to break every chain? Are you ready to live in victory? Are you ready
to discover your identity and destiny as a child of God? If you are, then join
me on this journey of discovering the biblical principles of breaking chains
and living in victory. Let’s begin.
Chapter 1: How to Experience God’s Freedom and Power in Your Life
What is
Freedom and Power from a Biblical Perspective?
Freedom and power are two words
that we often hear and use in our daily lives. But what do they really mean
from a biblical perspective? How do they relate to our relationship with God
and our purpose in life?
Freedom, according to the Oxford
English Dictionary, is “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants
without hindrance or restraint”. Power, according to the same source, is “the
ability to do something or act in a particular way, especially as a faculty or
quality”. These definitions seem to imply that freedom and power are based on
our own will, ability, and authority. However, the Bible gives us a different
and deeper understanding of freedom and power.
Freedom, according to the Bible,
is not the absence of limitations or restrictions, but the presence of God’s
love and grace. Freedom is not the ability to do whatever we want, but the
opportunity to do what God wants. Freedom is not the right to live for
ourselves, but the privilege to live for God. Freedom is not the result of our
own efforts or merits, but the gift of God’s salvation and forgiveness. Freedom
is not a license to sin, but a call to holiness. Freedom is not a temporary
state, but an eternal destiny.
Power, according to the Bible, is
not the possession of our own strength or resources, but the expression of
God’s presence and power. Power is not the capacity to control or manipulate
others, but the responsibility to serve and bless others. Power is not the
attribute of our own personality or position, but the fruit of the Holy Spirit
and the gifts of God. Power is not the means to achieve our own goals or glory,
but the tool to accomplish God’s will and purpose. Power is not a selfish ambition,
but a humble submission.
Therefore, freedom and power from
a biblical perspective are not based on our own will, ability, and authority,
but on God’s will, ability, and authority. They are not independent from God,
but dependent on God. They are not for our own benefit, but for God’s glory.
The
Difference between Freedom from and Freedom for
When we talk about freedom, we
often think of freedom from something. For example, we may want freedom from
oppression, freedom from poverty, freedom from sickness, freedom from fear,
freedom from addiction, and so on. These are all valid and important aspects of
freedom, and God cares about them. God wants to set us free from anything that
harms us, hinders us, or hurts us. God wants to deliver us from the bondage of
sin, the bondage of the world, and the bondage of the devil.
However, freedom from something
is not the ultimate goal of God’s freedom. God’s freedom is not only negative,
but also positive. God’s freedom is not only freedom from, but also freedom
for. God does not only want to set us free from something, but also to set us
free for something. God does not only want to deliver us from bondage, but also
to bring us into liberty. God does not only want to free us from our enemies,
but also to free us for our friends. God does not only want to free us from our
problems, but also to free us for our purpose.
Freedom for something is the
higher and fuller expression of God’s freedom. Freedom for something is the
purpose and the potential of God’s freedom. Freedom for something is the joy
and the fulfillment of God’s freedom. Freedom for something is the reason and
the motivation of God’s freedom.
What are some examples of freedom
for something? Here are some of them:
·
Freedom for love: God sets us free to love Him with
all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbour as ourselves
(Mark 12:30-31).
·
Freedom for worship: God sets us free to worship
Him in spirit and in truth, and to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy
and pleasing to Him (John 4:23-24;
Romans 12:1).
·
Freedom for service: God sets us free to serve Him
and His people with the gifts and the talents that He has given us, and to do
good works that He has prepared for us (1
Peter 4:10-11; Ephesians 2:10).
·
Freedom for growth: God sets us free to grow in the
grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to be transformed
into His image from glory to glory (2
Peter 3:18; 2 Corinthians 3:18).
·
Freedom for mission: God sets us free to share the
gospel of His grace and truth with the world, and to make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything He has commanded
us (Matthew 28:18-20).
These are some of the things that
God sets us free for. They are the things that God created us for, redeemed us
for, and called us for. They are the things that give meaning and value to our
lives. They are the things that bring glory and honour to God.
Therefore, we need to understand
the difference between freedom from and freedom for. Freedom from something is
good, but freedom for something is better. Freedom from something is necessary,
but freedom for something is essential. Freedom from something is the
beginning, but freedom for something is the end. Freedom from something is the
means, but freedom for something is the goal.
The
Sources and the Effects of Bondage in Our Lives
If God wants us to be free, why
are we still in bondage? Why do we still struggle with sin, fear, addiction, or
any other form of bondage that keeps us from living the abundant life that God
has for us? What are the sources and the effects of bondage in our lives?
The sources of bondage in our
lives are threefold: the world, the flesh, and the devil. These are the three
enemies that we face in our Christian walk, and they are the three forces that
try to enslave us and keep us from God’s freedom and power.
The world is the system of
values, beliefs, and behaviours that is opposed to God and His kingdom. The
world is under the influence of the devil, who is the god of this age and the
ruler of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4;
John 12:31). The world offers us many temptations and distractions that
appeal to our flesh and our eyes, such as money, fame, pleasure, entertainment,
and so on. The world tries to conform us to its pattern and to make us love the
things of the world more than the things of God (Romans 12:2; 1 John 2:15-17).
The flesh is the sinful nature
that we inherited from Adam, who disobeyed God and fell into sin. The flesh is
the part of us that is still corrupted by sin and that rebels against God and
His law. The flesh has many desires and passions that are contrary to the
Spirit and that wage war against our soul, such as pride, lust, anger, greed,
envy, and so on. The flesh tries to control us and to make us live according to
its dictates and impulses (Galatians
5:16-17; 1 Peter 2:11).
The devil is the enemy of God and
His people, who was once an angel of light, but became a fallen angel of
darkness. The devil is the father of lies and the accuser of the brethren, who
deceives, accuses, and oppresses us. The devil has many schemes and strategies
that he uses to attack us and to hinder us from God’s purpose, such as doubt,
fear, discouragement, division, and so on. The devil tries to devour us and to
make us fall into his traps and snares (John
8:44; Revelation 12:10; 1 Peter 5:8).
These are the sources of bondage
in our lives: the world, the flesh, and the devil. They are the enemies that we
need to overcome by God’s grace and power. They are the forces that we need to
resist and renounce by God’s word and Spirit.
The effects of bondage in our
lives are manifold: they affect our relationship with God, our relationship
with ourselves, and our relationship with others. They affect our spiritual,
emotional, mental, physical, and social well-being. They affect our identity,
our destiny, and our legacy. They affect every aspect of our lives.
Some of the effects of bondage in
our lives are:
·
Bondage to sin: Sin is the transgression of God’s
law and the missing of God’s mark. Sin separates us from God and His holiness.
Sin brings guilt, shame, and condemnation. Sin leads to death and destruction.
Sin robs us of God’s blessings and promises. Sin makes us slaves of
unrighteousness and enemies of God (Romans
3:23; 6:23; 8:1; James 1:15).
·
Bondage to fear: Fear is the opposite of faith and
the absence of love. Fear paralyses us and prevents us from taking risks and
stepping out of our comfort zone. Fear torments us and causes us to worry and
to doubt. Fear limits us and keeps us from fulfilling our potential and our
purpose. Fear robs us of God’s peace and joy. Fear makes us slaves of timidity
and cowardice (Hebrews 11:6; 1 John
4:18; 2 Timothy 1:7).
·
Bondage to addiction: Addiction is the compulsive
and excessive dependence on something or someone that is harmful or unhealthy.
Addiction enslaves us and controls our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Addiction damages us and causes us to harm ourselves and others. Addiction
Chapter 2: Finding Liberation from Sin, Fear, Addiction, Bondage of
Borrowing and Lending with Challenges through Christ
The
Nature and the Consequences of Sin, Fear, and Addiction
In the previous chapter, we
learned about the sources and the effects of bondage in our lives: the world,
the flesh, and the devil. We also learned about the difference between freedom
from and freedom for. In this chapter, we will focus on three specific forms of
bondage that are common and serious in our lives: sin, fear, and addiction. We
will also include the bondage of borrowing and lending with challenges, which
is a form of financial bondage that affects many people today. We will explore
the nature and the consequences of these forms of bondage, and how they affect
our relationship with God, ourselves, and others.
Sin, fear, and addiction are all
related to each other, and they all have a common root: the lack of trust in
God and His goodness. Sin is the result of our distrust in God’s law and His
will. Fear is the result of our distrust in God’s love and His power. Addiction
is the result of our distrust in God’s grace and His provision. Borrowing and
lending with challenges is the result of our distrust in God’s wisdom and His
plan. All these forms of bondage stem from our failure to believe and obey God,
and to depend on Him for everything.
Sin, fear, and addiction are also
all rebellious and idolatrous in nature. Sin is the rebellion against God and
His authority. Fear is the rebellion against God and His sovereignty. Addiction
is the rebellion against God and His sufficiency. Borrowing and lending with
challenges is the rebellion against God and His economy. All these forms of
bondage involve the rejection of God and the worship of something or someone
else.
Sin, fear, and addiction are also
all destructive and deadly in their consequences. Sin brings guilt, shame, and
condemnation. Fear brings worry, anxiety, and stress. Addiction brings harm,
pain, and suffering. Borrowing and lending with challenges brings debt,
poverty, and oppression. All these forms of bondage lead to death and
destruction, both in this life and in the life to come.
Therefore, sin, fear, and
addiction are serious and dangerous forms of bondage that we need to be
liberated from. They are not trivial or harmless issues that we can ignore or
tolerate. They are not natural or normal conditions that we have to accept or
endure. They are not inevitable or incurable diseases that we have to suffer or
die from. They are enemies and obstacles that we have to overcome and conquer
by God’s grace and power.
How
Christ Has Overcome Sin, Fear, and Addiction on the Cross and in the
Resurrection
The good news is that God has not
left us alone in our bondage. God has not abandoned us or forsaken us in our
misery. God has not given up on us or condemned us in our sin. God has loved us
and saved us in His Son, Jesus Christ. God has sent His Son to die for us and
to rise again for us, to break the power of sin, fear, and addiction, and to
set us free from their bondage.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God,
who became a man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose again from
the dead. He is the Saviour of the world, who came to seek and to save the
lost. He is the Lord of lords and the King of kings, who has all authority in
heaven and on earth. He is the chain breaker, who has the power to break every
chain and set us free.
How did Jesus Christ break the
power of sin, fear, and addiction on the cross and in the resurrection? Here
are some of the ways:
·
He broke the power of sin by taking our sin upon
Himself and paying the penalty for our sin with His blood. He became sin for
us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. He bore our guilt,
shame, and condemnation, so that we might receive His forgiveness, acceptance,
and justification. He died to sin, so that we might live to God. He freed us
from the law of sin and death, so that we might live by the law of the Spirit
of life (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter
2:24; Romans 6:10-11; 8:1-2).
·
He broke the power of fear by facing our fear for
us and overcoming our fear with His love. He became flesh for us, so that we
might share in His divine nature. He endured our suffering, temptation, and
persecution, so that we might share in His glory, victory, and inheritance. He
died to fear, so that we might live in faith. He freed us from the spirit of
fear, so that we might live by the Spirit of power, love, and sound mind (Hebrews 2:14-15; 4:15-16; 1 John 4:18; 2
Timothy 1:7).
·
He broke the power of addiction by satisfying our
addiction for us and delivering us from our addiction with His grace. He became
poor for us, so that we might become rich in Him. He hungered and thirsted for
us, so that we might be filled with His bread and water of life. He died to
addiction, so that we might live in freedom. He freed us from the bondage of
corruption, so that we might live by the glorious liberty of the children of
God (2 Corinthians 8:9; John 6:35;
7:37-38; Romans 8:21).
·
He broke the power of borrowing and lending with
challenges by cancelling our debt for us and providing for our needs with His
abundance. He became a servant for us, so that we might become sons and
daughters of God. He paid our debt with His precious blood, so that we might
receive His priceless inheritance. He died to debt, so that we might live in
wealth. He freed us from the curse of the law, so that we might live by the
blessing of Abraham (Philippians 2:7;
Colossians 2:13-14; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Galatians 3:13-14).
These are some of the ways that
Jesus Christ broke the power of sin, fear, and addiction on the cross and in
the resurrection. He did it all for us, because He loves us and wants us to be
free. He did it all for us, because He is the only one who can do it. He did it
all for us, because He is the only way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
The
Promises and the Provisions of God for Our Liberation from Sin, Fear, and
Addiction
The great news is that God has
not only broken the power of sin, fear, and addiction in His Son, Jesus Christ,
but He has also given us the promises and the provisions to live in His freedom
and power. God has not only set us free from something, but He has also set us
free for something. God has not only delivered us from bondage, but He has also
brought us into liberty. God has not only freed us from our enemies, but He has
also freed us for our friends. God has not only freed us from our problems, but
He has also freed us for our purpose.
God has given us many promises
and provisions in His word, His name, His blood, His Spirit, and His people.
These are the resources that we need to live in God’s freedom and power. These
are the gifts that we need to receive and enjoy God’s freedom and power. These
are the tools that we need to use and apply God’s freedom and power.
What are some of the promises and
provisions of God for our liberation from sin, fear, and addiction? Here are
some of them:
·
The word of God: The word of God is the truth that
sets us free from the lies of the enemy. The word of God is the sword of the
Spirit that cuts off the chains of bondage. The word of God is the lamp to our
feet and the light to our path that guides us in the way of freedom. The word
of God is the seed that produces the fruit of freedom in our lives. The word of
God is the bread of life that nourishes and sustains us in the life of freedom
(John 8:31-32; Ephesians 6:17; Psalm
119:105; Luke 8:11; John 6:63).
·
The name of Jesus: The name of Jesus is the name
above every name that has the authority to break every chain. The name of Jesus
is the name that saves us from our sins and delivers us from our enemies. The
name of Jesus is the name that heals us from our diseases and restores us from
our brokenness. The name of Jesus is the name that gives us access to God and
His throne of grace. The name of Jesus is the name that we can call upon in
every situation and receive His help and power (Philippians 2:9-11; Acts 4:12; 3:16; Hebrews 4:16; Romans 10:13).
·
The blood of Jesus: The blood of Jesus is the blood
that cleanses us from all sin and makes us righteous before God. The blood of
Jesus is the blood that redeems us from the curse of the law and makes us heirs
of the promise. The blood of Jesus is the blood that reconciles us to God and
makes us His children. The blood of Jesus is the blood that protects us from
the wrath of God and the attacks of the enemy. The blood of Jesus is the blood
that speaks better things than the blood of Abel and testifies of God’s grace
and mercy (1 John 1:
FINANCIAL
BONDAGE
One of the forms of bondage that affects many people is the bondage of borrowing and failing to pay back
or lending and having challenges in recovering. This is a form of financial
bondage that affects many people today, especially in the context of poverty,
oppression, and injustice. The Bible has some principles and guidelines on how
to deal with this issue from both the borrower’s and the lender’s perspective.
The Bible acknowledges both
borrowing and lending, but it does not encourage them, especially when they
involve interest or usury. Borrowing and lending are often seen as signs of
need or lack, and God’s ideal is that His people would be content and generous,
trusting Him for their provision and sharing with others in need. The Bible
warns against borrowing or lending beyond one’s means, or for frivolous or
sinful purposes. The Bible also warns against taking advantage of the poor or
the needy by charging excessive interest or imposing harsh conditions. The
Bible calls for justice and mercy in lending and borrowing, and for the
cancellation of debts every seven years or during the year of jubilee (Deuteronomy 15:1-11; Leviticus 25:8-55).
The Bible also teaches that the
borrower is morally obligated to pay back what he or she has borrowed, and that
the lender is morally obligated to lend without expecting repayment. The
borrower should not be dishonest, lazy, or irresponsible, but should work hard,
save wisely, and honour his or her commitments. The lender should not be
greedy, selfish, or oppressive, but should be generous, compassionate, and
forgiving. The borrower and the lender should not see each other as enemies or
rivals, but as brothers and sisters in Christ, who are called to love one
another and to seek each other’s welfare (Psalm
37:21; Proverbs 22:7; Luke 6:34-35; Matthew 18:21-35).
Therefore, the Bible gives us
some principles and guidelines on how to deal with the bondage of borrowing and
lending with challenges. They are:
·
Avoid unnecessary debts and live within your means.
Borrow only when you have a genuine need and a clear plan to repay. Lend only
what you can afford to lose and do not expect anything in return.
·
Seek God’s wisdom and guidance before borrowing or
lending. Pray and consult with godly counsellors. Do not borrow or lend
impulsively or emotionally. Do not borrow or lend for sinful or wasteful
purposes.
·
Be honest and fair in borrowing and lending. Do not
lie, cheat, or steal. Do not charge or pay interest or usury. Do not impose or
accept harsh or unjust terms. Do not take or give collateral that is essential
for life or livelihood.
·
Be diligent and faithful in repaying or recovering
debts. Do not delay or evade your obligations. Do not harass or threaten your
debtors. Do not sue or take legal action against your fellow believers. Do not
neglect or abuse your assets or resources.
·
Be generous and forgiving in lending or borrowing.
Do not hoard or covet your money or possessions. Do not resent or begrudge your
debtors or creditors. Do not demand or withhold forgiveness. Do not let money
or debt ruin your relationships or your witness.
Chapter 3: Breaking Every Bondage and Living in Victory
The
Meaning and the Importance of Victory in the Christian Life
Victory is a word that we often
hear and use in our daily lives. But what does it mean from a biblical
perspective? How does it relate to our relationship with God and our purpose in
life?
Victory, according to the Oxford
English Dictionary, is “the act of defeating an enemy or opponent in a battle,
game, or other competition”. Victory, according to the Bible, is the act of
overcoming an enemy or obstacle by the power of God, through the work of
Christ, and by the faith of the believer. Victory is not based on our own
strength or ability, but on God’s strength and ability. Victory is not achieved
by our own efforts or merits, but by God’s grace and favour. Victory is not
dependent on our own circumstances or situations, but on God’s promises and
provisions.
Victory is not only a word, but
also a reality in the Christian life. Victory is not only a concept, but also a
condition in the Christian life. Victory is not only a goal, but also a gift in
the Christian life. Victory is not only a possibility, but also a privilege in
the Christian life.
Victory is the reality, the
condition, the goal, the gift, and the privilege of every believer in Christ.
Victory is the birthright, the inheritance, the calling, the blessing, and the
reward of every child of God. Victory is the essence, the expression, the
evidence, the experience, and the enjoyment of the abundant life that God has
for us.
Why is victory so important in
the Christian life? Because victory is God’s will and purpose for us. God wants
us to be victorious, not defeated. God wants us to be overcomers, not overcome.
God wants us to be conquerors, not conquered. God wants us to be more than
conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans
8:37).
Victory is important in the
Christian life because it glorifies God and honours His name. Victory is
important in the Christian life because it edifies us and builds us up in our
faith. Victory is important in the Christian life because it testifies to the
world and witnesses to His power. Victory is important in the Christian life because
it blesses others and benefits His kingdom.
Therefore, victory is the meaning
and the importance of the Christian life. Victory is what God has done for us,
what God is doing in us, and what God will do through us. Victory is what we
have in Christ, what we are in Christ, and what we can do in Christ. Victory is
the past, the present, and the future of the Christian life.
The
Enemies and the Obstacles that We Face in Our Pursuit of Victory
If victory is God’s will and
purpose for us, why do we still face enemies and obstacles in our pursuit of
victory? Why do we still encounter resistance and opposition in our walk of
victory? Why do we still experience trials and tribulations in our life of
victory?
The enemies and obstacles that we
face in our pursuit of victory are the same enemies and obstacles that we face
in our bondage: the world, the flesh, and the devil. These are the three
enemies that we need to overcome by God’s grace and power. These are the three
forces that we need to resist and renounce by God’s word and Spirit.
The world is the enemy and the
obstacle that we face in our pursuit of victory because it tries to distract us
and deceive us from God’s truth and God’s will. The world offers us many
alternatives and substitutes to God’s plan and God’s purpose. The world appeals
to our flesh and our eyes, and entices us to love the things of the world more
than the things of God. The world conforms us to its pattern and its values,
and influences us to think and act like the world. The world opposes us and
persecutes us, and pressures us to compromise and conform (1 John 2:15-17; Romans 12:2; John 15:18-19).
The flesh is the enemy and the
obstacle that we face in our pursuit of victory because it tries to dominate us
and control us from God’s Spirit and God’s law. The flesh has many desires and
passions that are contrary to the Spirit and that wage war against our soul.
The flesh rebels against God and His authority, and resists His grace and His
power. The flesh corrupts us and defiles us, and produces the works of the
flesh that are evident and sinful. The flesh weakens us and hinders us, and
prevents us from doing the good that we want to do (Galatians 5:16-17; 1 Peter 2:11; Romans 7:18-25).
The devil is the enemy and the
obstacle that we face in our pursuit of victory because he tries to destroy us
and devour us from God’s life and God’s love. The devil has many schemes and
strategies that he uses to attack us and to hinder us from God’s purpose. The
devil deceives us and lies to us, and twists God’s word and God’s promises. The
devil accuses us and condemns us, and reminds us of our past and our failures.
The devil oppresses us and afflicts us, and causes us to suffer and to doubt (1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:11; John 8:44;
Revelation 12:10; Job 1:6-12).
These are the enemies and
obstacles that we face in our pursuit of victory: the world, the flesh, and the
devil. They are the enemies that we need to overcome by God’s grace and power.
They are the obstacles that we need to remove by God’s word and Spirit. They
are the challenges that we need to face by God’s faith and courage.
The
Weapons and the Strategies that God Has Given Us to Break Every Bondage and
Live in Victory
The best news is that God has not
only given us the promises and the provisions to live in His freedom and power,
but He has also given us the weapons and the strategies to break every bondage
and live in victory. God has not only set us free for something, but He has
also equipped us for something. God has not only brought us into liberty, but
He has also trained us for battle. God has not only freed us for our friends,
but He has also armed us against our enemies. God has not only freed us for our
purpose, but He has also prepared us for our mission.
God has given us many weapons and
strategies in His word, His name, His blood, His Spirit, and His people. These
are the resources that we need to use and apply God’s freedom and power. These
are the gifts that we need to receive and enjoy God’s freedom and power. These
are the tools that we need to use and apply God’s freedom and power.
What are some of the weapons and
strategies that God has given us to break every bondage and live in victory?
Here are some of them:
·
The word of God: The word of God is the weapon and
the strategy that we use to break the bondage of the world and to live in
victory over the world. The word of God is the truth that sets us free from the
lies of the world. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit that cuts off the
chains of the world. The word of God is the lamp to our feet and the light to
our path that guides us in the way of victory. The word of God is the seed that
produces the fruit of victory in our lives. The word of God is the bread of
life that nourishes and sustains us in the life of victory. We use the word of
God by reading it, studying it, meditating on it, memorizing it, confessing it,
obeying it, and sharing it (John
8:31-32; Ephesians 6:17; Psalm 119:105; Luke 8:11; John 6:63).
·
The name of Jesus: The name of Jesus is the weapon
and the strategy that we use to break the bondage of the devil and to live in
victory over the devil. The name of Jesus is the name above every name that has
the authority to break every chain of the devil. The name of Jesus is the name
that saves us from the attacks and the schemes of the devil. The name of Jesus
is the name that heals us from the wounds and the diseases of the devil. The
name of Jesus is the name that gives us access to God and His throne of grace.
The name of Jesus is the name that we can call upon in every situation and
receive His help and power. We use the name of Jesus by believing in it,
trusting in it, praying in it, commanding in it, worshipping in it, and
proclaiming it (Philippians 2:9-11; Acts
4:12; 3:16; Hebrews 4:16; Romans 10:13).
·
The blood of Jesus: The blood of Jesus is the
weapon and the strategy that we use to break the bondage of sin and to live in
victory over sin. The blood of Jesus is the blood that cleanses us from all sin
and makes us righteous before God. The blood of Jesus is the blood that redeems
us from the curse of the law and makes us heirs of the promise. The blood of
Jesus is the blood that reconciles us to God and makes us His children. The
blood of Jesus is the blood that protects us from the wrath of God and the attacks
of the enemy. The blood of Jesus is the blood that speaks better things than
the blood of Abel and testifies of God’s grace and mercy. We use the blood of
Jesus by applying it, pleading it, thanking it, celebrating it, and living by
it (1
Chapter 4: Discovering Your Identity and Destiny as a Child of God
The
Significance and the Implications of Being a Child of God
One of the most amazing and
wonderful truths of the Christian life is that we are not only saved by God,
but we are also adopted by God. We are not only forgiven by God, but we are
also accepted by God. We are not only reconciled to God, but we are also
related to God. We are not only servants of God, but we are also sons and
daughters of God. We are not only creatures of God, but we are also children of
God.
Being a child of God is not a
metaphor or a figure of speech, but a reality and a fact. Being a child of God
is not a status or a position, but a relationship and a privilege. Being a
child of God is not a result of our own efforts or merits, but a gift of God’s
grace and love. Being a child of God is not a temporary or conditional state,
but an eternal and secure destiny.
Being a child of God is the most
significant and the most glorious identity that we can have. Being a child of
God means that we belong to God and that He belongs to us. Being a child of God
means that we are loved by God and that He is pleased with us. Being a child of
God means that we are like God and that He is our Father. Being a child of God
means that we have access to God and that He hears our prayers. Being a child
of God means that we have inheritance from God and that He provides for our
needs. Being a child of God means that we have authority from God and that He
empowers us for our purpose. Being a child of God means that we have a future
with God and that He has prepared a place for us.
Being a child of God has many
implications and applications for our lives. Being a child of God affects our
identity, our destiny, and our legacy. Being a child of God affects our
relationship with God, ourselves, and others. Being a child of God affects our
spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and social well-being. Being a child of
God affects every aspect of our lives.
The Lies
and the Labels that the World, the Flesh, and the Devil Have Put on Us
If being a child of God is such a
wonderful and powerful identity, why do we often struggle with our self-image
and self-worth? Why do we often feel insecure and inferior? Why do we often
doubt and deny our identity and destiny as children of God?
The reason is that we have been
bombarded and brainwashed by the lies and the labels that the world, the flesh,
and the devil have put on us. The world, the flesh, and the devil are the
enemies of our identity and destiny as children of God. They want to rob us of
our birthright, our inheritance, our calling, our blessing, and our reward as
children of God. They want to make us forget who we are and whose we are in
Christ. They want to make us live below our potential and our purpose as
children of God.
The world, the flesh, and the
devil have put many lies and labels on us, such as:
·
You are worthless and unlovable
·
You are a failure and a loser
·
You are a sinner and a rebel
·
You are a victim and a slave
·
You are weak and helpless
·
You are hopeless and helpless
·
You are alone and abandoned
·
You are nothing and nobody
These are some of the lies and
labels that the world, the flesh, and the devil have put on us. They are
designed to deceive us, discourage us, and destroy us. They are designed to
keep us in bondage and prevent us from living in victory. They are designed to
make us live by sight and not by faith, by feelings and not by facts, by
circumstances and not by promises.
The
Truths and the Blessings that God Has Spoken Over Us
The good news is that God has not
left us to the lies and the labels of the enemy, but He has spoken the truths
and the blessings over us. God has not only adopted us as His children, but He
has also affirmed us as His children. God has not only accepted us as His children,
but He has also approved us as His children. God has not only related to us as
His children, but He has also revealed to us as His children. God has not only
given us a new identity and a new destiny as His children, but He has also
declared and decreed them over us.
God has spoken many truths and
blessings over us, such as:
·
You are valuable and lovable
·
You are a success and a winner
·
You are a saint and a child
·
You are a victor and a heir
·
You are strong and courageous
·
You are hopeful and joyful
·
You are accompanied and protected
·
You are something and somebody
These are some of the truths and
blessings that God has spoken over us. They are based on His word and His will.
They are based on His grace and His love. They are based on His power and His
purpose. They are based on His faithfulness and His goodness.
How to
Affirm, Declare, and Live Out Our Identity and Destiny as Children of God
The best news is that God has not
only spoken the truths and the blessings over us, but He has also given us the
ability and the responsibility to affirm, declare, and live out our identity
and destiny as children of God. God has not only given us a new identity and a
new destiny as His children, but He has also equipped us and empowered us to
embrace and express them. God has not only declared and decreed our identity
and destiny as His children, but He has also invited and instructed us to agree
and align with them.
How do we affirm, declare, and
live out our identity and destiny as children of God? Here are some of the
ways:
·
We affirm our identity and destiny as children of
God by believing and receiving what God has said and done for us in Christ. We
affirm our identity and destiny as children of God by trusting and resting in
His grace and love. We affirm our identity and destiny as children of God by
confessing and professing our faith in Him. We affirm our identity and destiny
as children of God by thanking and praising Him for His gifts and promises (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:3-14; Romans
10:9-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:18).
·
We declare our identity and destiny as children of
God by speaking and praying what God has said and done for us in Christ. We
declare our identity and destiny as children of God by declaring and decreeing
His word and His will. We declare our identity and destiny as children of God
by rebuking and resisting the lies and the labels of the enemy. We declare our
identity and destiny as children of God by testifying and witnessing to His
power and His glory (Mark 11:23-24;
Matthew 6:9-13; James 4:7; Revelation 12:11).
·
We live out our identity and destiny as children of
God by doing and obeying what God has said and done for us in Christ. We live
out our identity and destiny as children of God by living and walking in the
Spirit and not in the flesh. We live out our identity and destiny as children
of God by bearing and sharing the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the
Spirit. We live out our identity and destiny as children of God by serving and
loving God and His people (James 1:22;
Galatians 5:16-26; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Matthew 22:37-40).
These are some of the ways that
we can affirm, declare, and live out our identity and destiny as children of
God. They are the ways that we can experience and enjoy God’s freedom and power
in our lives. They are the ways that we can break every bondage and live in
victory. They are the ways that we can discover and fulfil our purpose and our
potential as children of God.
Chapter 5: The Testimonies of People Who Overcame Their Chains by God’s
Grace
In the previous chapters, we
learned about the biblical principles of breaking chains and living in victory.
We learned about the sources and the effects of bondage in our lives, the power
and the provision of God for our liberation, and the meaning and the importance
of our identity and destiny as children of God. In this chapter, we will hear
the testimonies of people who overcame their chains by God’s grace, both from
the Bible and from history, from my own life and ministry, and from the present
time. We will see how God has set them free from sin, fear, addiction, and
other forms of bondage, and how they have experienced and enjoyed God’s freedom
and power in their lives. We will also be invited to share our own stories of
overcoming our chains by God’s grace, and to encourage and inspire others with
our testimonies.
The
Testimonies of People from the Bible and from History Who Overcame Their Chains
by God’s Grace
The Bible is full of stories of
people who overcame their chains by God’s grace. They are the heroes of faith,
who trusted God and obeyed His word, who resisted the enemy and renounced the
world, who followed God’s plan and fulfilled His purpose. They are the examples
and the models for us, who show us how to break every bondage and live in
victory. They are the witnesses and the cloud of witnesses for us, who testify
of God’s power and glory.
Some of the people from the Bible
who overcame their chains by God’s grace are:
·
Abraham: He overcame the bondage of fear and doubt,
and became the father of faith and the friend of God. He left his country and
his family, and followed God to a land that He promised to give him. He
believed God’s promise of a son, even when he was old and his wife was barren.
He obeyed God’s command to sacrifice his son, even when it seemed impossible
and unreasonable. He received God’s blessing and became the father of many
nations (Genesis 12:1-4; 15:6; 22:1-18;
Hebrews 11:8-19).
·
Joseph: He overcame the bondage of slavery and
imprisonment, and became the ruler of Egypt and the savior of his family. He
was sold by his brothers and became a slave in Potiphar’s house. He was falsely
accused by Potiphar’s wife and became a prisoner in Pharaoh’s dungeon. He was
forgotten by Pharaoh’s cupbearer and remained in prison for two more years. He interpreted
Pharaoh’s dreams and became the second in command in Egypt. He forgave his
brothers and saved them from famine (Genesis
37:28; 39:1-20; 40:23; 41:1-45; 45:1-15).
·
Moses: He overcame the bondage of insecurity and
inadequacy, and became the leader of Israel and the deliverer of God’s people.
He was born in a time when Pharaoh ordered the killing of all Hebrew baby boys.
He was raised in Pharaoh’s palace, but fled to Midian after killing an
Egyptian. He was called by God at the burning bush, but felt unqualified and
reluctant to go. He confronted Pharaoh and demanded the release of the
Israelites, but faced many obstacles and oppositions. He led the Israelites out
of Egypt and through the Red Sea, but faced many challenges and complaints. He
received the law from God and brought the people to the edge of the promised
land, but was not allowed to enter it himself (Exodus 1:22; 2:1-15; 3:1-4:17; 5:1-6:1; 14:1-31; 19:1-20:21; Numbers
20:1-13).
·
David: He overcame the bondage of rejection and
persecution, and became the king of Israel and the man after God’s own heart.
He was the youngest and the least of his brothers, and was overlooked by his
father and his prophet. He was anointed by Samuel and became the favorite of
Saul, but was hated and hunted by Saul. He was a shepherd and a musician, but
became a warrior and a hero. He killed Goliath and defeated the Philistines,
but was betrayed and exiled by his own people. He committed adultery and
murder, but repented and was forgiven by God. He faced many enemies and
troubles, but trusted and praised God (1
Samuel 16:1-13; 18:6-9; 19:1-24:22; 17:1-58; 27:1-30:31; 2 Samuel 11:1-12:25;
Psalm 23; 51; 34).
·
Daniel: He overcame the bondage of exile and
idolatry, and became the prophet of God and the servant of kings. He was taken
captive by Nebuchadnezzar and became a slave in Babylon. He was trained in the
Babylonian culture and education, but remained faithful to God and His law. He
interpreted Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams and became the chief of the wise men, but
was envied and plotted against by his rivals. He was thrown into the lion’s den
and faced certain death, but was delivered and honoured by God. He received
visions and revelations from God and prophesied about the future of the world (Daniel 1:1-21; 2:1-49; 6:1-28; 7:1-28).
·
Esther: She overcame the bondage of oppression and
genocide, and became the queen of Persia and the deliverer of her people. She
was an orphan and a Jew, and was raised by her cousin Mordecai. She was chosen
by King Xerxes and became his wife, but hid her identity and nationality. She
learned about Haman’s plot to kill all the Jews, and risked her life to
approach the king. She invited the king and Haman to a banquet, and exposed
Haman’s evil scheme. She pleaded for her people and obtained the king’s favour.
She reversed the decree of death and celebrated the victory of life (Esther 2:1-18; 3:1-15; 4:1-17; 5:1-8;
7:1-10; 8:1-17; 9:1-32).
Some of the people from history
who overcame their chains by God’s grace are:
·
Martin Luther: He overcame the bondage of legalism
and corruption, and became the reformer of the church and the translator of the
Bible. He was a monk and a professor, and was troubled by his sin and guilt. He
studied the Scriptures and discovered the doctrine of justification by faith alone.
He challenged the practices and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, and
posted his 95 theses on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church. He was
excommunicated by the pope and outlawed by the emperor, but was protected by
the prince. He translated the Bible into German and made it accessible to the
common people. He sparked the Protestant Reformation and influenced the history
of Christianity (1483-1546).
·
William Wilberforce: He overcame the bondage of
slavery and injustice, and became the abolitionist of the slave trade and the
advocate of the oppressed. He was a politician and a philanthropist, and was
converted to Christianity. He dedicated his life and his career to the cause of
abolishing the slave trade and slavery in the British Empire. He faced many
oppositions and obstacles from the powerful and the wealthy, but persevered and
persisted in his campaign. He introduced and supported many bills and motions
in the Parliament, and mobilized public opinion and support. He succeeded in passing
the Slave Trade Act of 1807 and the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, and freed
millions of slaves (1759-1833).
·
Harriet Tubman: She overcame the bondage of slavery
and racism, and became the conductor of the Underground Railroad and the leader
of the freedom fighters. She was born a slave and suffered abuse and violence.
She escaped from her master and became a free woman, but returned to the South
to rescue her family and friends. She made many trips and guided hundreds of
slaves to freedom in the North and in Canada. She faced many dangers and
difficulties from the slave catchers and the bounty hunters, but relied on God
and His guidance. She served as a spy and a scout for the Union Army during the
Civil War, and fought for the emancipation and the rights of the African
Americans (1822-1913).
·
Corrie ten Boom: She overcame the bondage of hatred
and bitterness, and became the survivor of the Holocaust and the messenger of
forgiveness. She was a watchmaker and a Christian, and lived in the Netherlands
during the Nazi occupation. She and her family hid and helped many Jews and
resistance fighters in their home, but were betrayed and arrested by the
Gestapo. She was sent to various concentration camps, and suffered torture and
starvation. She lost her father and her sister, but survived and was released
by a clerical error. She forgave her tormentors and preached the gospel of
God’s love and grace. She wrote books and spoke around the world, and inspired
many people with her faith and courage (1892-1983).
·
Nick Vujicic: He overcame the bondage of disability
and depression, and became the speaker of hope and the example of joy. He was
born without arms and legs, and faced many challenges and limitations. He was
bullied and rejected, and attempted suicide. He found God and His purpose, and
accepted himself and his condition. He
Stubborn bondage is a term that refers to any form
of bondage that is hard to break or overcome, such as sin, fear, addiction,
curses, witchcraft, or generational problems. Stubborn bondage can affect our
lives in various ways, such as limiting our potential, hindering our purpose,
robbing our blessings, or causing us pain and suffering. Stubborn bondage can
also resist our prayers and efforts to be free, and require more than our
natural or human resources to be broken.
However, the Bible tells us that
God is able to deliver us from any stubborn bondage by His mighty power and
outstretched arm. God is the God who answers by fire, who performs signs and
wonders, who breaks the chains and sets the captives free. God is the God who
sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us and to rise again for us, to break
the power of sin, death, and the devil, and to give us the victory. God is the
God who sent His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, power, and freedom, to dwell
in us and to work in us, to guide us, to teach us, and to empower us.
One of
the ways that we can release ourselves from stubborn bondage is by asking the
outstretched arm of Yahweh to intervene in our situation. Yahweh is the
personal name of God, the covenant-keeping God, the faithful and loving God.
Yahweh is the God who revealed Himself to Moses at the burning bush, and who
promised to deliver the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt. Yahweh is the God
who said to Moses in Exodus 3:19-20,
"But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty
hand compels him. So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with
all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will
let you go."1
We can ask the outstretched arm
of Yahweh to stretch out His hand and strike our enemies with His wonders, to
compel them to let us go. We can ask the outstretched arm of Yahweh to stretch
out His hand and perform miracles in our lives, to change our circumstances and
to fulfil His promises. We can ask the outstretched arm of Yahweh to stretch
out His hand and touch us with His healing, to restore our health and to renew
our strength. We can ask the outstretched arm of Yahweh to stretch out His hand
and bless us with His favour, to open doors and to make a way for us.
Another way that we can release
ourselves from stubborn bondage is by fasting and praying. Fasting is the
voluntary abstinence from food or other pleasures for a period of time, for the
purpose of seeking God and His will. Fasting is a way of humbling ourselves
before God, of expressing our dependence on Him, of showing our sincerity and
earnestness, of sharpening our spiritual focus and sensitivity. Fasting is a
way of preparing ourselves for a breakthrough, of aligning ourselves with God’s
purpose, of releasing God’s power and grace.
Praying is the communication with
God, the expression of our faith and trust in Him, the request of our needs and
desires, the praise of His name and His works, the confession of our sins and
weaknesses, the intercession for others and ourselves. Praying is a way of
connecting with God, of hearing His voice and His guidance, of receiving His
peace and His joy, of experiencing His presence and His love, of activating His
promises and His provisions.
Fasting and praying are powerful
weapons and strategies that God has given us to break every bondage and live in
victory. Fasting and praying can move mountains, can change situations, can
break yokes, can release miracles. Fasting and praying can bring us closer to
God, can increase our faith, can strengthen our spirit, can transform our
lives.
Jesus
taught us the importance and the effectiveness of fasting and praying,
especially when dealing with stubborn bondage. In Mark 9:28-29, we read that after Jesus had cast out a deaf and mute
spirit from a boy, His disciples asked Him why they could not do it. Jesus answered,
"This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting."2 Jesus
implied that some kinds of bondage are more resistant and require more
spiritual power and authority to be broken. Jesus implied that prayer and
fasting are the means to access and release that power and authority.
Therefore, we can release
ourselves from stubborn bondage by asking the outstretched arm of Yahweh and by
fasting and praying. These are some of the ways that we can cooperate with God
and His grace, and break every chain and live in victory. These are some of the
ways that we can experience and enjoy God’s freedom and power in our lives.
These are some of the ways that we can discover and fulfil our purpose and our
potential as children of God.

chain and to set you free. I pray that He will fill you with His Spirit and His
power, and that He will lead you and guide you in His will and His purpose. I
pray that He will use you and work through you to break chains and to live in
victory in your own life and in the lives of others. I pray that He will
glorify Himself and honour His name in your life and in your testimony.
Thank you for reading this book
and for joining me on this journey of breaking chains and living in victory. I
hope that this book has been a blessing and a help to you. I hope that you will

experience this reality. I hope that you will keep in touch with me and let me
know how God has set you free and how you have become a chain breaker. You can
contact me through my email, my website, or my social media platforms. I would
love to hear from you and to pray for you.
May God bless you and keep you.

His countenance upon you and give you peace. May God break every chain and give
you victory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
