6 Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. ~ Isaiah 58:6-8
So many of us desire to see the glory of the LORD but have no idea how to achieve this desire. According to Isaiah, one way is to break down the strongholds of not only us but also those around us. We are to be the light in a dark world because we have the light of the world living in us and through us. Therefore, our actions should match His actions and His heart. And His heart is to break every stronghold from the back of all people willing to allow Him to.
As we live in the world, it’s easy to get caught up in the world and the desires of the world. While the world seeks to only benefit itself, God seeks to benefit all; this is what we must desire as well. The moment we begin to work to build up the Kingdom of God, which includes breaking the strongholds of others so that they may see the goodness of God, then we will begin to see blessings pour in and our prayers answered. By breaking down the strongholds of others, we are breaking down the spiritual strongholds that hold us back. Every physical action we make has a spiritual consequence, whether bad or good.
So, if you are having a spiritual blockade in your prayer life or you’re not seeing the mighty hand of God move in your life, try moving the physical blockades of others. God always rewards those who do His good and perfect will.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Give To See.
