Freedom Through the Cross

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again
by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

Having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; He has
taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public
spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2:14–15

The cross is not only a place of sacrifice but a symbol of absolute freedom. Jesus didn’t just die to save us
from sin—He died to break the grip of every chain that holds us captive. We are called to stand firm in
that freedom and resist the temptation of returning to old bondages—whether they are sinful habits,
religious burdens, fear, guilt, or shame.

Christ has canceled every spiritual IOU against us. He stripped away the power of darkness and declared
us free—free to live, free to worship, free to rise. This freedom touches every dimension of our being:
spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical.

As you fast today, remember this: you are not fasting for freedom—you are fasting from a position of
freedom. Let your heart boldly reject anything that contradicts what Jesus finished. You are a child of
God, not a slave. Let today be a declaration day—a day of spiritual breakthrough and bold alignment
with your identity in Christ.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, I thank You for the victory of the cross. Thank You for canceling every charge against me and
breaking the power of sin and darkness. Today, I refuse to wear any yoke of bondage again. Let the
power of Your resurrection crush every chain of guilt, fear, shame, addiction, and oppression. Let me
walk in the full freedom You have secured for me. Let liberty reign in my thoughts, my emotions, and
every area of my life. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Declaration

“I am free by the power of the cross and the resurrection. Every chain is broken. I walk boldly in the
liberty of Christ.”
