To be physically Incarcerated is difficult to deal with. Locked up for hours per day, cut off from loved ones and surrounded by darkness and evil. Do you know that many of us are in prison in our minds? What about you? Are you in an emotional prison? If you are holding unforgiveness or bitterness toward someone who has wronged you — whether it was five,
ten or thirty years ago — that is an emotional prison.
Today ask God to give you the strength to break out of that prison. God’s promises that if you’ll move away from that prison of unforgiveness and negativity. He will make you a prisoner of hope, He will restore to you double for your trouble! That means if someone wrongs you, instead of getting negative and bitter, your attitude will be, “they just did me a favour. They just qualified me for double!” That’s the attitude of a prisoner of hope.
Today, lock into an attitude of victory that says, “I won’t be defeated! Things may look impossible, but I know God can do the impossible. I may have been treated wrongly, but I’m not worried. I know God is my vindicator. It may be taking a long time, but in due season, I know I will reap if I just don’t give up. Stay strong and in the place of hope today, knowing that you will come out with double! Hallelujah!
“Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.” (Zechariah 9:12, NKJV)
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, today I choose to release those who have wronged me. Father, I refuse to live in an emotional prison, please change my mental location. God, I know You are my vindicator and redeemer. Make me a prisoner of hope and I receive Your promise today that You will give me back double for all my trouble, in Christ’s Name! Amen.
