                                                                   Immediate Freedom

"Now I will break off his yoke from you, and burst your bonds apart."
                                                                              ~ Nahum 1:13

  "The Assyrian was allowed for a season to oppress the Lord's people, but there came a time for his power to be broken. Just so, many a heart is held in bondage by Satan. To such prisoners of hope may the word of the Lord come at once, "Now I will break off his yoke from you."
  See! The Lord promises a present deliverance: "Now I will break off his yoke from you." Believe for immediate freedom; and, according to your faith, so  shall it be. When God says "now," let no man say tomorrow.

  See how complete the rescue is to be; it is a display of divine force that guarantees that the oppressor shall not return. His yoke is broken; we cannot again be bowed down by its weight. His bonds are burst apart; they can no longer hold us. Come, Lord, and set free Your captives, according to Your word."
