THE STRINGS ARE BEING CUT…
All of the major warfare of the last 6 months to a year makes perfect sense now. We could sense there was a threshold, but didn’t realize it was of these proportions. Whether you see it yet or not, the strings are being cut. God has done more deliverance in the last month than you have seen in years. You have obediently surrendered to the process, and it’s been painful at times as He rearranged your heart and life, dealt with the trauma of past seasons and hard pioneering, and even as He dove deeper into generational strongholds.
Then, on top of that, the enemy conveniently used this moment to try to take you out once and for all. The mental games and gymnastics have been next level. The anxiety and overwhelming heaviness. The foreboding and constant mental assault. Torment in dreams. The insecurities and triggers have been a daily constant, unraveling you. You felt like you lost the plot. Breakdown. Burnout. Your body crashing. Your emotions shot and in tatters. The slander. The drama. The noise on every side. Red tape. Robbery. It’s been endless, and I know it hasn’t been easy.
Yet, you continued to stand. Then suddenly there was a divine “SNAP” and in a moment the strings that had been immovable were no longer there. Religious strings, fear of man strings, Jezebel strings. Mental and emotional strings. Every assignment of oppression and bondage from the enemy was suddenly exposed, and it had to leave. Your eyes were opened, and blinders started coming off. After such a season of breaking, suddenly you woke up seeing clearly and started feeling un-yoked. And even as you read these words, it’s happening.
Snap, snap, snap…
It’s awakening you. It’s bringing you back from the brink of spiritual death and the assignment of assassination that has been circling you like a vulture for a year or so now. Even familiar spirits, gossip, and witchcraft have started to fall off where they kept sticking to you and wreaking havoc. The jig is up, and the light is shining in the darkness upon every place and area the enemy has waged war on your life. FREEDOM is being rung over you, and it’s sending demons running. That’s why this moment feels so unsettling - because God is shaking you loose from YEARS of pain and bondage to people, places, and moments.
But what has been the most shocking part of this process is realizing it’s awoken something in you that you don’t know how to figure out yet. It’s like God gave you a backbone overnight, and you suddenly have zero tolerance for the enemy’s propaganda. It’s like you are seeing The Truman Show that was playing around you for years, for what it truly is. You can’t be played now. You can’t be controlled now. You can’t be manipulated. And you sure can’t be silenced anymore. You got your voice back, and it feels like a fresh fire on you that you don’t know yet how to wield.
In fact, this is an unknown moment in many ways. Where do you go after being told where to go for years? What do you do after being controlled and “managed” for so long? What do you fight if all you have fought over the years is the battle against your home, and fighting just to stay afloat mentally? Survival has broken, and this is something you haven’t felt before. The capacity and permission to swing your sword and speak what the Father gives you beyond your front door. The strings keeping you milk-fed have broken, and now you are longing for meat. For a real calling and impact. You just can’t go back in the box.
You just can’t go through the motions anymore or play happy oblivious Christian. That part of you died. The comfort-seeking Christian in you is gone. Now, on the other side of this, the house or Acts believer in you has emerged, and it’s not taking any prisoners. You have stepped out of comfort where the enemy wanted you babysat, paying tithes, and coddled with cake and coffee. And now you are stepping into the real Kingdom and into the real battle. The enemy poked the bear for too long, and this is the result. The Church is waking up!
But God isn’t done because as your strings are cut, it’s launching you. I keep seeing a bow string being pulled back. God is using the strings the enemy used to keep you in bondage as the pull back that sends you out! Every single assignment that came against you to kill you or rob you has only increased your anointing and prepared you and forged you as a warrior for this moment. Armed with nothing but the Blood of the Lamb - the enemy will wish he never messed with you!
So watch as the strings continue to snap in the coming days. But here’s the warning…
Don’t go back to sleep. Don’t let the enemy pull the wool over your eyes again. Stay alert. Stay clear. Stay in God’s presence. And go snap others free as well.
