BIBLE IN A YEAR: Amos 1-3

UNTYING YOUR LEGS

MEMORIZE: "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed and walk" (John 5:8)

READ: John 5:2-9

Demonic forces can also tie the hands of a man. In Luke 8:1-3, Mary Magdalene who was a super witch, became a divine treasurer after her hands were untied. She had the potentials of being a sponsor of the Gospel, but she was bottled up. The demons changed her focus and manipulated her to live contrary to God's Word. Thank God Jesus intervened! As long as her hands were tied, she served the devil, but when her freedom came, she realized she was serving what should be serving her. So she started to serve the One who should be served. Every demonic power that has tied your hands shall be expelled from your life and situation today in Jesus name. You shall be free from every force, power, visible or invisible enemies hindering you from serving the true and living God in Jesus Name.

Apart from meaning that one's hands are tied, bondage could also mean that one's legs are tied. After Paul and Silas were thrown into prison, their legs were further imprisoned in stocks (Acts 16:22-24). That was double imprisonment! When someone says my legs are tied, it means his movement is restricted, his legs are in stocks, his progress has been arrested and destiny suspended. In any way unseen forces have tied your legs, you are free from this moment in the name of Jesus Christ. Some people have become familiar with stagnation. For years, they have not been promoted. No progress or upward movement. They have not enlarged beyond their tiny space. The Lord is bringing a change your way this season.

In today's reading, the legs of a man were tied for 38 years. The man was more familiar with stagnancy than most of us. For almost a generation, he remained on one spot! Within the community of the crippled, blind and withered, he was chief. He had been so long there that some of his relatives, who offered to help, finally gave up, leaving him in that condition. But Jesus stepped in and untied his legs, and he moved on. You are coming out free. That promotion that has been denied you is coming to you this season. It is coming by the decree of the King of kings. Your legs are receiving strength to move you forward from today. Every yoke of stagnancy in your life is broken. You shall be a stranger to stagnancy from today. If you are not born again, receive Jesus today. Take time to praise, thank and worship Him for your freedom.

ACTIONPOINT
Command that your legs that have been tied by forces of darkness be untied now in Jesus name.
