Day 21 - Every Chain (Will Reagan)
There is power in the name of Jesus There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was working as a youth pastor here in South London and had brought my youth to a local area youth gathering. It was a time in which I had struggled through loneliness and adjusting to living in a new culture. Everything was constantly new and changing, and with that always comes a level of uncertainty.
As this song was sung, I looked across the room and saw the body of Christ worshipping and a “chain” broke! I felt a peace and belonging among the family of God here. I felt like I belonged. Not a foreigner stumbling through cultural faux pas, but a brother of those in the room. It was a chain that broke for me. Jesus breaks chains. Jesus claims the following of Himself.
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners” – Luke 4:18
There is power in the name of Jesus to set captives free!
Think it over / Mediate on:
What chains are weighing on you and keeping you down?
How is God asking you to let Jesus break those chains?
