Breaking free is a process that began last week.  My mother and I were praying that our family would be free of generational curses.  I had a dream in the night about a hindrance to our prayers.  On Sunday, at church my pastor prayed for deliverance from fear.  I was one who stood for that prayer because I had really been attacked lately about fear of failure.  Yesterday I was writing about how entire cities had been delivered and changed through removing the principalities that ruled the towns.  I had been reading about how important deliverance is to maintain revival. 

Last night I watched the Lakeland revival on God.tv.  The pastor who led the service began talking about deliverance.  I thought it was incredible that I had been writing about that very topic as he began his sermon.

When he led the audience into deliiverance against fear, I felt immediate relief.  I broke out into a laughter that I couldn't stop.  It was so funny to think I had been tied down to fear when my God was bigger than any fear I could have and His plans for me do not include failure!

Then the pastor began praying against generational curses.  I prayed the prayers with the audience and I don't know what all I got delivered from but I know I am free!  I could feel it instantly.  Again, the laughter became uncontrollable.  The joy that I was free was exhilarating!

This morning, in my prayer time, I asked the Lord to give me verses.  I was led to read Isaiah 52.  The verses God quickened to my heart were:

"Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit. . . ; loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O Captive (verse 2)

"The redemption of Israel is accomplished" (verse 10).  "Depart, depart, go out from there, touch no un- clean thing . . . go, cleanse yourselves and be clean . . . (verse 11)

"The Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.  Behold, My servant shall deal wisely and shall prosper; He shall be exalted and extolled and shall stand very high" (verses 12 and 13).

I know that I know that whom the Son sets free is free indeed!

Let me tell you an interesting parallel that took place in my house this week.  On Monday, the air conditioner had to be replaced.  While working on it, the repairmen checked the ductwork and found it to be absolutely full of mildew.  They spent Monday and Tuesday replacing our ductwork so we could be free of the mildew.  Just as my home's ductwork was made new, so was my internal ductwork cleansed this week. 

This would be a simple coincidence if it didn't remind me of what happened a few years ago.  While my husband and I were away at a cleansing streams conference, our septic tank overflowed and ran into the tubs, out the toilets and all over the floors.  My parents were staying in my home at the time.  While we were being cleansed spiritually, they had a company come out and cleanse the septic tank at our house.  All the gunk that was under our foundation was being removed while it was being removed from us spiritually.
