Zechariah 9:12
Zechariah 9:12
Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
Have you been entrapped in an impossible situation, one that has rendered you powerless and defied solution? Is there a weakness or addiction you have been struggling with but have no record of victory? Do you feel dejected, defeated, and hopeless about this unchanging situation that has robbed you of your freedom and peace of mind? Do not despair; help is on the way. Humanity has been imprisoned by Sin and has become its slaves. The sinful nature is a state of bondage and hopelessness. But there is hope for the sinner. Sin is a wicked slave master, but God gave us deliverance from Sin’s grip through the redemptive work of Christ. Through the price of the precious blood of Jesus, we are ransomed, set free, cleansed, forgiven, and reconciled with God. We are now saved from God’s wrath, from the curse of the law, and enjoy the privilege of being called sons of God. This scripture is a call to repentance, an invitation to Jesus, our stronghold, our light tower, a safe haven from life’s troubles and Sin. When we accept Christ, we are restored to be partakers of spiritual blessings in heavenly places and have delivery of God’s covenant promises.

1 Peter 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
