Bondage Breaker: the Sword depicting the supernatural authority of the cross. The Lion of Judah’s voice thunders – His word a mighty sword. We are set free – free to soar in the fullness of all we are called to. 

  • Isaiah 10:27 (NLT) In that day the Lord will end the bondage of his people. He will break the yoke of slavery and lift it from their shoulders.
  • Deuteronomy 28:7 (AMP) The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you; they will come out against you one way, but flee before you seven ways.
  • Psalm 18:13-19 (AMP) The LORD also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. He sent out His arrows and scattered them; And He sent an abundance of lightning flashes and confused and routed them [in defeat]. Then the stream beds of the waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare At Your rebuke, O LORD, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. He reached from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He rescued me from my strong enemy, And from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, But the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a broad place; He rescued me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me.

A word called “Be Brave and Bold” from June Reinke of Prophetic Light is connected to this.

Be strong in Me, says the Lord.  Be as brave and bold as a lion.  For the enemy is not the winner. You are.  Do not let him intimidate you.  He cannot carry out his threats and assignments against you, for I Am with you to empower you and give you superior weapons that will out power his.  Do not be afraid.  For He cannot resist My Spirit and My Word in you, and your faith in Me will shied you from the blast of the enemy.  He will run in terror of you, rather than you running in fear of Him.  Arise and prepare for the fray, for the outcome is already called.  You are the winner, and He is the loser, for I will always cause you to triumph in Me, says the Lord.

It is not even a close match.  He is defeated.  You are undefeated.  I have made you more than a conqueror in Me, says the Lord.  Arm yourself in Me, and put Me on. I have already defeated him long ago, and he is just a sore loser.  Stand up straight and tall and know that I Am with you to give you good success, and cause you to be victorious every time.  Every battle is Mine, says the LORD, and there is never a time when you will be defeated in Me, says the LORD.

A Word to Ponder by Sandy Warner of the Quickened Word is connected to this. It is called “New Level, New Defense“.

Dear ones, the carnal man does not understand the things of God and they use the weapon of their mouths to attack My ways. I AM activating a whole new level of defense for My own. This will be defense from being bitten by wolves and snakes, gossip, slander and critical spirits. Even now I am sending angelic backup to build this shield.

Your little children, they too shall be protected as I move them to new levels with you. I AM raising up a standard and dispatching the backup needed to give a supernatural peace and refuge to My own dear ones. My peace I give you, not as the world gives you, but the peace of My Father which surpasses all understanding. It will guard your hearts and minds from anxiety as you make your requests known to Me. You will find your new defense beloved ones, through prayer.

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

A Prophetic Nugget from our Dyed4you Ministries blog is connected to this. It is called “Complete in Me.”

1 Chronicles 28:20 (VOICE) Be strong, courageous, and effective. Do not fear or be dismayed. I know that the Eternal God, who is my God, is with you. He will not abandon you or forsake you until you have finished all the work for the temple of the Eternal.

Beloved, I have not given you a spirit of fear. So when all seems like it’s swirling around you, refuse to be overwhelmed. Instead press into Me, the King of Peace – shalom, the peace that wars against chaos – and allow Me to be your rest. I AM good, and kind, and I love you.

Allow My light to penetrate the fog that would overwhelm you, and choose to bask in My glory. With eyes fixed on Me remind yourself that I always finish what I start and I will strengthen you to accomplish all that you’ve been called to. Not one thing stolen, not one thing missing, you are complete in Me.

Another Prophetic Nugget from our Dyed4you Ministries blog is connected to this. It is called “Replace Worry with Prayer and Thanksgiving.”

Philippians 4:6 (NLT) Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Beloved, I AM in control. You don’t need to fret or worry. Release any fear and rest in your trust of Me. Allow My love to draw you back, deeper into Me, and My peace to quiet your soul, while you press in for more of Me.

Keep turning your heart and mind back to Me as the cares of the world seek to distract your gaze. Only My love satisfies. Only My peace brings true rest. So with your mouth declare My goodness, and with your words share the things on your heart, and trust Me – the lover of your soul – to see to each need and concern. Cast your cares on Me and let your heart overflow with gratitude and thanksgiving fall from your lips without end.

Another Word to Ponder by Sandy Warner of the Quickened Word is connected to this. It is called “5 Fold Ministries Graduated with New Armor“.

I have set you apart dear one. You have passed your tests and endured great pressure from circumstance, the demonic world and spiritual transition. I have prepared a new mode of spiritual transportation for you. You and your ministry shall abide inside a brand new armor that will keep you from suffering the pressures of the heavenly warfare. Your protection is assured as you stay in Me.

I AM equipping all 5 fold ministries with the same armor. There are many who have been called into such, and been trained and tested. They will join the ranks of having been chosen. There are some who have been ministering for decades and they will move into the fullness of My own anointing. I walked the earth in the anointing of all 5-fold ministries and this is being made available now.

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.

The lyrics from Paul Wilbur’s song “The Shout of El Shaddai” are connected to this.

Can you hear it thunder in the distance? | When We worship the Lion of Judah roars | Strongholds crumble all around us | In the presence of our Lord

There’ll be vic’try in the camp | At the shout of El Shaddai | Every enemy will flee from the fire in His eyes | Every captive will be freed in this year of Jubilee | When we hear the shout of El Shaddai

Can you hear it thunder in the distance? | When We worship the Lion of Judah roars | Strongholds crumble all around us | In the presence of our Lord

There’ll be vic’try in the camp | At the shout of El Shaddai | Every enemy will flee from the fire in His eyes | Every captive will be freed in this year of Jubilee | When we hear the shout of El Shaddai

In your name power of darkness tremble | Jericho thumbles to the ground | In your name chains of death are broken | Lord of Hosts put your power out

We have overcome by the name and the blood | Of the Lamb of God | Every wall must fall, every knee must bow | To the Lord of all

In your name every curse is broken | Sin and death underneath your feet | In your name we will bow before you | Every tribe and tongue will sing

We have overcome by the name and the blood | Of the Lamb of God | Every wall must fall, every knee must bow | To the Lord of all

There’ll be vic’try in the camp | At the shout of El Shaddai | Every enemy will flee from the fire in His eyes | Every captive will be freed in this year of Jubilee | When we hear the shout of El Shaddai | When we hear the shout of El Shaddai | When we hear the shout of el Shaddai

Can you hear it thunder in the distance? | When We worship the Lion of Judah roars | Strongholds crumble all around us | At the presence of our Lord…

The lyrics to Zach Williams’ “Chain Breaker” are connected to this.

If you’ve been walking the same old road for miles and miles
If you’ve been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you’re trying to fill the same old holes inside
There’s a better life, there’s a better life
If you’ve got pain, He’s a pain taker. If you feel lost, He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving, He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you got chains, He’s a chain breaker
We’ve all searched for the light of day in the dead of night
We’ve all found ourselves worn out from the same old fight
We’ve all run to things we know just ain’t right
When there’s a better life, there’s a better life
If you believe it, if you receive it. If you can feel it, somebody testify
If you believe it, if you receive it. If you can feel it, somebody testify, testify

Father, thank You that You made a way for our feet to be snatched from the net. Thank You that You refused to leave us powerless against the enemy. Thank You that You sent Your Son for us. And thank You we are set free. May we live our lives to bring you glory and honor. Amen.
