Free And Blessed

Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. (Luke 13:10-13 NKJV)

Some of us today in this room are imprisoned by some sin or sinful thing which we can never seem to be set free from.

We have been chained, hand-cuffed, shackled, imprisoned, and trapped.

A person under bondage cannot enjoy the blessings of Abraham.

The plan of God for us is not to be bound and bend over..

A Woman is helper, comforter, companion, strengthener to mankind, everyman’s existence on earth starts with them (even our Savior, Jesus Christ’ existence on earth was as a result of The Holy Spirit implant in the woman) God’s plan on earth can be greatly hindered and humanity suffers as a result if and when this ‘helper’ is seriously handicapped, twisted, bent over that she can’t look up, and unable to strengthen herself.

The fact that she “could not…raise” herself up speaks of her utter helplessness and utter hopelessness. She was of no use to anyone. And the sad part about this story was that she was like this for “eighteen years”.

When a woman is chained she cannot function as a helper

When a daughter of zion is handcuffed she cannot flow in the spirit the way she supposed to!

When a daughter of Abraham is shackled... She cannot use her gift to full capacity...

When helper is bent over she cannot even help no one until she's free..

I've you find yourself in a situation where by you can't even counsel no one until you solve this problem?.

Many of us as female are bound by the word "woman" and we are twist over from fulfilling our calling...

Many are bound by the curse in Genesis 3 which makes men the master and women the slaves. It is a curse not the will of God. It is a curse not in the plan of God...

We're bound by this and not knowing that Christ has redeemed us from this curse of Law in Genesis 3.

She was bent over for 18years...

She had been afflicted with this for eighteen years.

When Jesus saw her, he called her over, “Woman, you’re free!

Woman, you are released [Ampl]

Woman, you are set free [N Int’l Version]

He laid hands on her and suddenly she was standing straight and tall, giving glory (praising God, praised and thanked God, glorified God).

I want to step into the apostolic office of a prophetess right here and prophesy to someone's life today that you might have been afflicted, you shall be made free and bless...

Any one here bound will be free in the name of Jesus...

The everlasting arms of God will touch you and set you free...

John 8:36 says Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. (John 8:36 NKJV)..

There are couple of things I want to bring out about this woman's story that applies to us as Christian:

When it's the time to be set free and free indeed

No 1. Jesus will be the preacher of the day....

On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues” (v.10).

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS THE PREACHER ON THIS DAY.

The truth is this.. When Jesus goes to church he causes trouble... People that are bound by spirit of religion will be free....

When Jesus show up in church, the captives of the mighty shall be set free.....

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives of the righteous be delivered? But thus says the LORD: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children. I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the LORD, am your Savior, And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.” (Isaiah 49:24-26 NKJV)

You are breaking forth, you are breaking loose, you are breaking through, you will break barriers and limitation, whatever line the devil has drawn, you are crossing the lines, you are taking territory, you are crossing boundaries in the mighty name of Jesus.

No. 2 Jesus saw her...

The liberator will see you today....

I love how Jesus scanned through the crowd looking at everyone and he saw this woman. It will be good we can scan in the realm of the spirit to see who is in need and who has been crippled and bound in the realm of the spirit.
