“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?” Isaiah 58:6 NIV

I hear the Lord saying, “Stand strong! I am breaking off yokes of bondage and removing areas of trauma that many have been living with for years! It was for freedom that I have come to set you free!”

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

Recently, many have been encountering toxic behavior patterns from others and the temptation is strong to revert back to old patterns and programmings yourselves. The familiarity of this cycle is strong but the Lord says, “I’ve got your back while you are establishing Godly boundaries. It is imperative to continue to walk in a spirit of love even in the midst of animosity. You carry the fragrance of Christ and it will be life to some while others will not receive it. Even so, draw on my strength and do not take the bait of the enemy to get entangled in offense. Again I tell you, I am breaking yokes and liberating you from past strongholds and unhealthy behavior patterns. Do not think it strange when things seem to be breaking out against you on every side. Rather, rejoice knowing it is simply the desperate attempt of the enemy to sidetrack you and keep you from walking free! Remember that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty in the pulling down of strongholds!”

“Continue to walk boldly in me. Know that I am with you and I am doing a mighty work in this time and season. Chains are breaking among the multitudes! Trauma is being broken! Your body is coming into alignment because I Am Healing Issues At The Root! Hear the songs of deliverance that I am singing over you and rejoice because your victory is at hand!”

“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalms 32:7 NIV
