"For your husband is your Maker, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your
Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of the whole earth."
(Isaiah 54:5)
"In spite of the stone walls..."
He has done it. Remember Joseph, Israel in Egypt, Manasseh, Jeremiah, Peter,
and many others. He can do it still. He breaks the bars of brass with a word, and
snaps the fetters of iron with a look. He is doing it. In a thousand places troubled
ones are coming forth to light and enlargement.
Jesus still proclaims the opening of the prison to them that are bound. At this
moment doors are flying back and fetters are dropping to the ground. He will delight
to set you free, dear friend, if at this time you are mourning because of sorrow,
doubt, and fear. It will be a joy to Jesus to give you liberty.
It will give Him as great a pleasure to loose you as it will be a pleasure to you to
be loosed. No, you will not have to snap the iron band: the Lord Himself will do it.
Only trust Him, and He will be your Emancipator. Believe in Him, in spite of the
stone walls, or the manacles of iron. Satan cannot hold you, sin cannot enchain you,
even despair cannot bind you, if you will now believe in the Lord Jesus Christ,
and in the freeness of His grace, and the fullness of His power to save.
Defy the enemy, and let the word now before you be your song of deliverance:
"Jehovah looseth the prisoners."
-Charles Spurgeon
