The captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed, That he should not die in the pit, And that his bread should not fail.          Isaiah 51:14

The Good News brought by the message of Christ is more precious than a heart caught in passions and sorrows because of the sin that can come. Those who fell for the offers of the enemy are exiled from the presence of God and, at the same time, captive in the hands of mankind´s archenemy. For this person, there is nothing that makes them happy, and the worst is that they know that if they die in this situation, they will go to eternal perdition.  

Adam had the chance to say not to the serpent that deceived Eve, but, he deliberately let himself be taken by the lie of that old snake. Then, when he realized that he lost the communion with the Lord, instead of seeking Him to confess His error, he hid from God. He should have gone before Him to be forgiven, but He chose the way of suffering. Isn’t it this that has caused many people to be deluded with the offers from Hell? 

When creating the plan of salvation, the Most High did not do it in any way, but, like everything that He accomplishes, He planned it and executed it very well. This is the best work that could have been projected to deliver men from the hands of the enemy. There is not one single weak or faulty spot in the redemption done by the Son of God; it is complete in all senses. Those who hear and believe in the Gospel are truly saved. 

Before He sent Jesus to save us, the Almighty gave His Word that the captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed. This has already occurred, because after He paid the price of redemption, Christ rose from the dead. In His resurrection, He led captivity captive and, today, those who hear what Jesus did in favor of mankind and believe in Him, can consider themselves free from that moment on, because that is the absolute truth. 

The captive exile will not die in the cave, for it was taken captive forever. It doesn’t matter how far you have gone in the madness of sin; if you believe right now and call upon the Name of the Lord, the enemy will immediately lose the power to keep you in his hands. Believe now and declare yourself completely free. The work of Christ will never be cancelled; when you invoke your right in it, you become part of it and you can enjoy it. 

After having acknowledged what God did for you, you must declare your freedom. However, stay alert, because, due to the fact you lived under condemnation for a long time, the devil will try to keep you in captivity. Pay attention to this important point: read the Bible every day, for in it you will find the Bread that will give you strength to live free from sin and it´s deceits. Live your freedom! 

God promises to deliver you hastily. So, once you believe in the Word, you will receive salvation and, nourishing from the Heavenly Bread, you will get stronger to the point of never again bowing before any temptation. This is the best time to assume your place in Christ and reign over what concerns you. 

In Christ, with love,
