Morning by Morning, May 6, 2025 - Setting Captives Free in Jesus’ Name!
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of my heart and thoughts, all that I am and all that I’ll do this day (Colossians 3:3). ...
“Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed in his right mind” (Mark 5:15).
Lord Jesus, You are “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). You are still healing the broken-hearted and setting captives free through the power of Your name and Your Holy Spirit through Your Body of Christ today (Luke 4:18; John 20:21; Mark 16:17-18).
On our first night of ministry in Karachi, Pakistan, a woman came up for personal prayer ministry after the message You gave me for healing and hope. Praying for her, she buckled at her knees; and I thought at first she was “resting” in the Spirit. But soon she was twisting and turning, making snarling noises and even clawed a fingernail into my arm. She was not “resting” in the Holy Spirit, but fighting by the spirits that sought to control her and hold her captive from receiving the love and power of God in the mighty name of Jesus.
But You gave me the strong sense to persevere through the battle, calmly asserting the authority of Your name over all that tormented her and tried to keep her from the Presence of Your love and all You had for her. In time, all her body relaxed and truly rested, as I gently prayed over her and then went on to pray for others. Not much later, we stood together to celebrate what God had done for her. Her face radiated a smile of deep tranquility, peace, and freedom—“restored to (her) right mind.” Praise God! All glory to You!
What a wonderful start for these days of ministry in Pakistan! May You continue to give me Your words to speak, Your love to share, everywhere You send me in the authority of Your name and power of Your love. Freely we receive and freely we give (Matthew 10:8).
Through all Your disciples, led by Your Spirit, compelled by Your love, may the world see that You are “the same yesterday, today, and forever!” That Jesus is alive as Savior and Healer for all who would come and embrace the love and grace of God! (John 3:16) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
