Freedom to the Captives | All God Needs Is Your “Yes”
If there is one word to sum up April’s Arise & Equip Retreat, it would be:
“FREEDOM!”
As I sat on the deck in gratitude Saturday morning after the retreat, thanking God for all that He had done just hours and days before in those exact seats, and debriefing with Him about how He felt it all went (It is HIS ministry, I just listen to His instructions and walk it out!) He gave me a vision . . .
I saw the deck and the picnic benches where 9 daughters of God had taken intentional time to get away with God to rest, to seek Him, and to listen to His voice . . . and as I looked, my gaze was directed to the many chains that were now broken off and laying in pieces on the floor. These women were no longer being bound and weighed down by the chains that once kept them heavy burdened . . . they were now walking in FREEDOM!
God then quoted Isaiah 61 to me as He reiterated the call over His daughters in this season, “He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound…” and He said so clearly, “I just need your ‘yes’. When you create the opportunity to gather together as I direct, I will call My daughters and bring freedom. I just need your ‘yes’.”
So what is God asking you to say “yes” to?
He will show you every single little detail when you are fully surrendered and waiting on Him (God is a God of the details!) We simply need to wait, fast, and seek Him, His timing and His presence. I don’t want to do anything without Gods presence. Just as Moses so perfectly expressed:
And Moses said to Him, “If Your presence does not go [with me], do not lead us up from here.” Exodus 33:15
If God isn’t in it, we don’t want it! But when He is calling you, directing you, asking for your yes over something – He WILL show you every detail, including His appointed timing for it all, and bring the freedom that He so desires, and even promises, all throughout His word for this generation!
Say Yes.
Isaiah 61: 1-4 AMP
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound,
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3 To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
4 And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.
