Thanking God for the freedoms He gave us & Praying for people to be set free
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come. - Luke 4:18-19

Praise - Father God for giving us freedom from the penalty and power of sin! For removing every chain that kept us in bondage to fear. We are no longer slaves to sin or man, but servants of the Lord. We can be yoked up to Jesus who together we can find rest for our souls and carry burdens that are light and easy to bear.
Pray - for God's people to discover the truth that Jesus came to announce that captives will be released and the oppressed will be set free. May the truth about the Lord's power set them free from addictions, depression, the cares of this life, hurts and fears. May they experience such freedom and joy and power to live a transformed life free from the oppression and torment that held them down.
Intercede - that the person who does not know Jesus [that you have on your heart] will discover liberty in Christ. May the Lord break the power of deception and the veil that keeps them from seeing the truth that will set them free. May they be filled with the knowledge of His love and sacrifice for them. May they come to know Him, the Savior, our Deliverer.
