2019 Boundaries and Bonds
What has God put on my heart? Boundaries and Bonds
We can have bonds, prisons imposed by manipulations of man that God desires to release us from… 
We can have dysfunctional, one-sided relationships which imprison us and prevent us from living in the fullness of Christ,
We can have hearts which love, which are met with hate, false ideas, and vision clouded by their own demons, 
We can have hands slapped away when we reach out in love;
We can have hopes of real relationships which are unrealistic with loved ones who cannot be real and are imprisoned by bitterness and self-sustained lies

None of those can be bridged by our efforts, only by the Holy Spirit… 
Unbridged, that illusion of a bridge will collapse and drown us if we try to cross… wait on the Lord, child, but don’t cease to live in the fullness of Christ while you wait… continue steadfast in prayer…

Seeking discernment and wisdom as to which chasms to walk away from and which bridges to cross; 
who is imprisoned by their man-made bonds and who are ready for freedom;
which have walls of anger and bitterness are ready to come down and which are boundaries God has proclaimed, enforces and desires for us to keep…

The day of freedom is has already come… 
and I will visit you in your prison, but I will not remain a prisoner with you. 
Jesus broke my chains, opened that door, and I walked through. 
If you want to know the way out, walk through that door, but do not expect my tears if you choose to remain in bondage with an open door before you. You can choose freedom, but it requires releasing your self-pity, bittterness and hate and moving towards Christ’ freedom.

Luke 4:18-19 New King James Version (NKJV)
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?

Isaiah 58:6-10
6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

“If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your darkness shall be as the noonday.
