#Thrive: Its a season of Release!


“...This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you…. On this day you are going out, in the month Abib” (Exodus 12:2; 13:4)
 Released FROM
Fear:
  • Psalm 124:7; 2 Tim. 1:7 We declare our soul has escaped like a bird from the snare of fear, confusion and anxiety; the snare has been broken and our soul has escaped.
  • Romans 8:15: We declare that we have not received the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but we have received the Spirit of adoption as God’s child to cry, ‘Abba!  Father!
  • Isaiah 35:4: We say to every fearful heart, be strong, do not fear; your God will come, He will come with vengeance; with divine retribution He will come to save and strengthen you.

Spiritual domination of fleshly lusts:
  • Galatians 5:1; 2 Cor. 3:17 We stand firm in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and we receive wisdom, grace and hunger for His word; not to be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
  • Romans 8:2 We declare that the law of the Spirit of life has set us free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death in every area of our life.
  • Romans 6:6-7 For one who has died has been set free from sin therefore, we declare that our old self was crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we will no longer be enslaved to sin, guilt, shame, ungodly habits, sickness or the spirit of infirmity. 

 Guilt and shame
  • 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, In the name of Jesus, we cast down every imagination, and every high thing that is trying to exalt itself in our life, against the knowledge of God. We bring into captivity every thought of ungodly guilt, shame, self-condemnation and worthlessness to the obedience of Christ.
  • Hebrews 10:22: We receive the revelation to draw near to God with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having my hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with the pure water of God’s word.
  • Rom. 8:1-2: There is therefore now no condemnation to us, because we are in Christ Jesus, and we do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.

 Sickness and infirmities:
  • Psalm 91:16:- With long life we will be satisfied; we will experience the salvation of the Lord in its totality
  • Isaiah 58:8:- Our light shall break forth like the morning; our healing shall spring forth speedily.
  • Psalm 103:3:- He has forgiven us of our iniquities and He has healed us of my diseases. Therefore, we choose to trust in His finished work.
  • Isaiah 53:4-5:- For He himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was laid upon Him. And by His stripes, we are healed.
