Lyrical Friday - Break Every Chain

photo by Bloncorded
Happy Friday! 
I have a friend that when she prays, she always prays, "there is power in the name of Jesus." I love that at times, that is all she can mutter out. Sometimes that is all we need to know, acknowledge and pray.

There is tremendous power in the name of Jesus.
For only Jesus has overcome this world, overcoming death itself to set you free- He can surely break every chain. He can break any chain and every chain that is holding you captive:
Disordered Eating
Cutting
Depression
Drugs
Alcohol
Gambling
Debt
Fornication
Jealousy
Idolatry
Self Worship
Pride
Malice
Wrath
Legalism
Forgiveness
Wrong self image
Sexual Immorality/Addiction
you name it _____________. Whatever the chain may be, no matter how strong or inconspicuous, our Lord Jesus can break that chain and set you free.

Meditate on the powerful lyrics of this song and surrender to the One who can break any bondage in your life. Cry out to Jesus, ask Him to break every chain. He has a glorious plan for your life and no power on the earth can shut that door. Why wait any longer? Enter into the freedom and life that you were created to live.
-
Therefore if Jesus sets you free, you shall be free indeed. 
John 8:36
-
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces. For He has broken the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two. 
Psalm 107:13-14,16
-
A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. Psalm 68:5-6
-
I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness— secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name. Isaiah 45:2-3-

Break Every Chain, Jesus Culture



There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
To break every chain
To break every chain
To break every chain


All sufficient sacrifice
So freely given
Such a price bought
Our redemption
Heaven’s gates swing wide


There’s an army rising up
There’s an army rising up
There’s an army rising up
There’s an army rising up

To break every chain
To break every chain
To break every chain (4x)
There’s power in the Name of Jesus

I just found your blog via a comment you left for Ashley on La Luce. You commented with Proverbs 11:25 He who refreshes other will himself be refreshed. It's one of my favorite verses so I had to come meet you. Your blog is beautiful. Can't wait to read more...

p.s. I love that you do regular posts on the book of James. I just recently started memorizing that book; I'm still on chapter one but am learning so much having those verses float through my mind all day. Crazy!
