"CHAINS ARE BROKEN"



"CHAINS ARE BROKEN"
There are spiritual chains that bind us and not let us serve God. Here are some of them and the solution to break them. Acts 12: 1-11 5 Thus Peter therefore was kept in prison, but the church was fervent prayer to God for him. 6 And that night when Herod was about to get him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and guards before the door kept the prison. 7 And behold, there appeared an angel of the Lord, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter on the side, and woke him up saying, Arise quickly. And the chains fell off his manos.8 And the angel said unto him, Get dressed and put [f] sandals. And so he did. And the angel said * Put on your cloak and follow me. 9 And going out, followed him, and did not know what was the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision. 10 When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened to them by itself; and they went out and followed by a street, and immediately the angel departed from him. 11 When Peter came to himself, said: Now I know in truth that the Lord has sent his angel and has rescued me from the hand of Herod
Introduction: In the lives of many people are chains that stop the flow of God's blessing in their lives. When we come to Christ those chains are broken and we are free to live in the abundance that God has prepared for us. LET US LOOK SOME CHAINS IMPRISIONING MAN

Psalms 34: 4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

3. The chain Root Bitterness
God did not make us bitter. Bitterness is an evil. Bitterness begins with a soul wound that has not healed and ends up destroying the person and to all those around him. .The Root of bitterness is deep and difficult to start. Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and wrath, and clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice:
4. Chain of Envy . Envy is embittered for the good of our fellow men; which produces the ambition and greed of the things of others; the consequences of envy is offending God, offending others,
5. Chain of Pride. We are all equal, but the pride, which is what caused the fall of Lucifer, wants to occupy a position above others, and even God himself. Whether you do not let me correct or not recognize my mistakes, or that you take me to judge others
6. The chain of Materialism.
.The Partial or complete materialism denies the existence of God or dependence. The materialistic person, just think what you see with your natural eyes and excludes from its being the spiritual world and in turn has spiritual blindness. Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood by the things that are made; so that they are without excuse: "

In the same way that the angel book to Peter from prison and death and broke their chains, today Christ is here to liberate us from all wickedness ligation or chain.
