Summary: Let us understand the role of the shofar in the day of atonement. Jesus desires to set us free, free indeed.

JOB LEARNED BONDAGE TO FEAR. He said: The worst of my fears has come true, what I've dreaded most has happened.

We often walk in realms of TERROR, WORRY and FEAR. We demand MERCY and GRACE but tend to give judgment and stone throwing. We walk daily tired, weak and weary. Seems we are HANDCUFFED to the very issues that try to manipulate us.

WE CAN NEVER BREAK THE FETTERS UNTIL WE COME TO THE POINT WE CAN ADMIT AND ACKNOWLEDGE WE ARE BOUND… HERODIAS COULD NOT LET GO OF ONE MESSAGE THE PREACHER, JOHN THE BAPTIST PREACHED.

HERODIAS hatred drove her. She was bitter and offended because John preached against the affair Herodias was having with her brother in law.

FETTERS BOUND HERIODA’S IN HATRED… BOUND BY PAST, BOUND BY FAMILY, BOUND BY HABITS.

Matthew 14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

PRODIGAL SON RECEIVED HIS FORGIVENESS… BUT HIS ELDER BROTHER … TWO DIFFERENT RESPONSES TO THE SHOFAR CALL TO THE BREAKING OF THE FETTERS.

Luke 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

The older brother was judgmental and angry.

Luke 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

BREAK OUT IN FREEDOM’S CRY… WHEN YOU ARE SET FREE --- YOU CAN OFTEN FREE OTHERS.

Psalm 105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

God had a plan. What looked like FETTERS OF DEATH opened a great miracle. Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them— Joseph, who was sold as a slave. The fetters were cruel, Joseph had bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. HOW CAN FETTERS fulfill your dreams. The LORD tested Joseph’s character by dream crushing events! But one day, THE SUDDEN UNSUDDEN MOVE OF GOD revealed the plan as Pharaoh sent for him and set him free; the ruler of the nation opened his prison door, and BROKE THE FETTERS.

WE RECYCLE SPIRITUAL MENTAL FETTERS. OUR REAL CONCERN IS FAR BEYOND METAL FETTERS… SEEMS OUR ENEMY HAS PLACED MENTAL CHAINS AND BONDS ON GOD’S PEOPLE.

The enemy shackles us with UNFORGIVENESS, sentimental past history the CYCLES AND RECYCLES over and over again in our hearts and brains. Often we find family histories that are bound by fetters.

HOLY SPIRIT REVEAL OUR FETTERS…1. DOUBT. 2. SELF DOUBT. 3. IGNORANCE.4. OPINIONATED, BULL HEADED. 5. SENSUAL DESIRES. 6. NO PEACE. 7. HATRED. 8. TOO MUCH SELF-CONFIDENCE. 9. CO-DEPENDENCY. 10. ANGER, WRATH. 11. JUDGMENTALISM. 12. LACK OF JOY --- THE RULE OF DEPRESSION AND SORROW.

Isaiah 10:27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
