Introduction I was in the courtyard surrounded by four separate two-story corner buildings. My dream was in grey tones of sadness. The vision of lost souls whaling and crying. I began vehemently to pray and call upon the name of Jesus. I understood, in my spirit, that they needed the joy of Your spirit to renew their weeping souls. I stood up and waited to see if my prayer was heard. The figures were not distinct in detail.

Is your mouth filled with swearing words? A group of 4 to 5 persons would come into the courtyard with loud voices...Cursing God and drinking heavily. From each corner they came and went.

My heart was filled with compassion, for I discerned that they were bound. Yes, spiritually bound by Satan and helpless to even see their dilemma.... by you, pleading with God to restore you. Oh how my spirit started to pray for them. Oh Lord, deliver them from this bondage; Oh Lord have mercy on each of them; Break Satans chains that bind these souls in the Name of Jesus. I suddenly felt confident that God heard me. I felt a sense of relief, that the bondage had been broken. Yes, I realized that little I could pray; God honored my compassionate plea for these lost souls. Then I realized that His compassion for these lost souls was much greater. Yet, the Father desires that prayer by us be rendered to Him in total submission...that He will inhabit our spirits. He desires to be our number one focus. "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. {Matthew 6:33}

For God has given us a free will, which used in error by sinners leads to this kind of bondage: disbelief of God, a mouth that curses, killing themselves with drink, drugs and spiritually inept life styles. People were coming in and out of the court yard with a hope that their lives could be made new. My prayer was that their bondage would be broken. I have seen people who, instantaneously, have been set free and renewed by the power of God through prayer..."The effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man availeth much." Yes, bondage broken from alcoholism, disbelief, immorality and all forms of sin and degradation.

My prayer for the deliverance was complete, as I stood there waiting for multitudes of people to reappear. One by one the groups appeared very quietly...they were FREE!!! All signs of addiction, foul language, blasphemy and immoral behavior were gone.

I had a real sense of peace and cleanliness in my spirit. I was overwhelmed with JOY unspeakable, but I could tell that those who had been bound did not have the same joy. I besought the Lord once again, Jesus! why aren't they happy about what You have done? Immediately, the scripture came to mind, "He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Ghost." {Acts 19:2} I cried out, Lord Jesus! Fill them with Your Spirit. They need the JOY of Your Holy Spirit and new hope. I was sure that God heard my prayer; therefore, I had the petitions that I desired of Him. Yes, He heard my prayer and answered. Then all four groups came in the courtyard, rejoicing, praising God with uplifted voices, singing songs of Zion, laughing and embracing each other. The Shekinah Glory of the living God filled the temple.

"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory. At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke." {Isaiah 6} Christian love filled the space where hate once ruled in its splendor, grandeur and bliss.

About that time I woke up praising God for such a marvelously victorious dream...the captives to sin were now captive to the Kingdom of God...HEALED! DELIVERED! and SET FREE! Are you spiritually bound by sin, unable to escape the clutches of the enemy? Has Satan tried to convince you that his way is the best way? Perhaps he has whispered in your ear, "Don't believe all the hoopla about Jesus, heaven and eternal life; if you want to have a good time, follow me."

Well, NOW! is the accepted time. Jesus is waiting, with open arms to set you free from the bondage of sin. Don't let it be said too late. No sin is too great for God to deliver. He only needs to speak the word and all sin, smoking habits, drugs, sexual immorality, a foul mouth, hatred, murder, a lying tongue, malice, bitterness, unforgiving hearts and all sin is wiped away. Your only job is to believe and receive what Jesus has already done for you. He suffered , bled and died that you might live. He arose from the dead that you might be justified {made right with God} restored and have everlasting life.

God has taken all the hard work out of His plan of Salvation for you; the gift is FREE! The first step is up to you.
