Chains for Christ: What has you bound?

Chains for Christ: What has you bound?

What have you chained yourself to? Bound yourself to adverse circumstances, adversity, sickness, depression, addiction, and hopelessness? Instead, chain yourself to Christ and find joy, no matter what storm you face! Paul had joy in his heart even while in chains for Christ. Look at Philippians 1 (NIV, KJV, TLV) to guide you today as you study the Word of God.

Let Go, Let God.

Good morning. Welcome to today's message with Tammy Toney-Butler from Reflective Spaces Ministry.

I am here today to speak to you about what you're Chained and bound to; that's today's message.

Let's begin with prayer, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, come and have Your way in this time that we have together today. Open Hearts to receive, ears to hear, eyes to see. Let Your Presence descend upon anyone who's listening to this right now, Father. You know who this message is for. Let them receive it and let what they've been bound to for years that's holding them down let it be broken; in the name of Jesus, we call forth healing and peace and joy and

Strength, in Your mighty name, Jesus, let them see You and not me; help me to deliver Your Word and Your message in Your mighty name, Jesus.

Amen. Whenever I go live, I'm always a little bit raw and uncomfortable, but I find that when I'm real and in that space, that's when the Holy Spirit just props me up and goes with me and helps me, and today, He placed on my heart.

Lord Jesus, this message is about what you are chained to and what you are bound to.

Are you bound to sickness, disease, addiction, childhood trauma, hopelessness? Are you bound to negative circumstances have you lost your joy? Did you ever have it?

Until I found Christ, and He transformed me as a survivor of child sex trafficking, broke Every Chain, healed every raw open wound, broke me free of every addiction and the lies of the past, the shame, the guilt, the fear, and the regret recognizing that all of that was nailed to the Cross and Jesus died for us after that I was able to experience Joy.

You know, Paul talks of joy in Philippians. Joy in your suffering in Philippians 1.

 I read a little portion of scripture that stuck out with me, and I wanted to read it now. it's in Philippians again. It starts with 1:3, and it talks about Thanksgiving in prayer.

Philippians 1
New International Version


Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.

4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy

5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.

8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.


Paul was in chains and still praising God despite his circumstances. He counted everything worthless but serving his Lord Jesus, and that's the way I feel. I sold everything I own to follow Christ and to do His will and to help others know what that prayer is about because I want you to experience the freedom that I
found through being set free no longer the weight of trauma and being yoked with the darkness but instead transformed by His Marvelous Light.

That is your portion; healing is your portion; strength and joy are your portion, not hopelessness, not sleeping away your life. I was spiritually dead until Christ Set Me Free. I surrendered to the Holy Spirit coming in to live inside of me when I surrendered to Abba Father and Lord Jesus and said be the Lord of my life; I can no longer walk around with this weight and the panic attacks and the anxiety and the addictions to use to cope I can't do that anymore it's not serving me it's killing me inside and outside mentally physically spiritually all of it. I knew I had to let go and let God heal, and I did, and I've never been the same.

He has transformed my life and continues to transform it every day, and he can transform yours. Hope is real, Joy is real, peace is real, and freedom is real. Deuteronomy 28 talks about the laws and the curses, and the Bible says that all sickness and disease are the curse of the law. It also says that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law in Galatians 3:13.

Galatians 3:13
King James Version

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:

What does it say in:

1 Peter 2:24
King James Version

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Healing is your portion: sickness,  disease,  shame,  guilt, and addiction,  all nailed to the cross with Christ. You are healed, you have been healed, but you have to receive it in your heart and know it in your heart. You're never too dirty or full of shame to know the love and healing of Christ and the freedom that brings. I am a woman on a mission for you to know the love of Jesus that I did do and let it set you free, let you have life in the fullness and abundance that Christ Jesus had for us. He shed his blood, rose again, and was seated at the right side of the Father in Heavenly places so that we could know and experience his love and be healed.

Cancer is not your portion; diseases are not your portion; chronic fatigue is not your portion, and none of that is your portion.

Spirits of infirmary break now in the name of Jesus; spirits of addiction break anything that you were chained to that is a lie of the past. Break now off in the name of Jesus.

We have the authority as Believers. We get to choose to have joy and peace and longsuffering. We have the power, and we can walk in it. We can walk in the Truth of the Word of God and be set free; those who Christ sets free are indeed free.

I want you to begin to praise God for your healing, and I want you to know that from this day forward, you will walk free of all of that. You surrender to Christ Jesus and say, Jesus, come in, make me a new creature, transform me on the inside, the outside, my mind. Everything, make me to be a new creature.

Set Me Free From the Past from the weight of the trauma. I Surrender it all to You, Lord Jesus. I want You to live in my heart. I know that You are the Son of God. You were born of a virgin, You died on the Cross and was resurrected, and You now sit beside the Father in heaven, and You advocate for us; You're our comforter, Our Redeemer, and You gave us the keys to the Kingdom, and we get to have what we say on Earth as it is in heaven. We say that we're free, blessed and highly favored, and daughters and sons of the king walking in wholeness and fullness.

We claim it under the Believers Authority that You gave us and we walk in that Freedom.

Mark 5:34 King James version and he said unto her daughter thy faith have made thee whole go in peace and behold of thy plague behold of thy plague behold of thy negative circumstances of thy sickness.

What does Mark 5:34 say?

Mark 5:34
King James Version

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.


What does Mark 11:23-24 say?

Mark 11:23-24
King James Version

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


James 5:14-16
King James Version

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.


That's what His Word says, and I claim that for you. I claim that for you, total healing, freedom, peace, and joy, and no more will you be bound by the chains of adversity, by the lies spoken over you.  

Break free now in the name of Jesus and walk into who He's called you to be.
 
You have been fearfully, beautifully, and wonderfully made. You were formed, and He knew you before He formed you in the womb.
 
He had a purpose for you, and you will no longer be bound by the lies of the past; you will be chained to Christ.
 
Chained and set free, set free, and those who He has set free are set free indeed.
 
That is your portion; healing is your portion, and I claim that for you today in the Name of Christ Jesus.
 
We will not walk back from it; we will walk victorious into these coming days. 

We will transform a nation and a world, transform our homes, and no longer cater to Satan's lies. We will walk in freedom and Truth as it says in God's Word. 

That is the message that He has for you today, and He sent me to deliver it. 

Walk in Freedom—that's your portion; healing is your portion; strength is your portion; Joy.

Father, help them see You as I see You. 

Help them to love You as I love You. 

Help them to know the Truth as You delivered me; You're delivering them now, strengthening them, guiding them, giving them Clarity where there's been confusion and abundance, where there's been drought and famine, and strength as they draw from your Wellspring of Living Water never to thirst again, for You are the way, the Truth, and the Life.

Oh, Father, just let them be surrounded in Your peace and Your joy in Your mighty matchless name, Lord Jesus; we pray those things and deliver this message that You had for them today.
 
I thank you, and I thank you for listening too.
 
You can follow me on Reflective Spaces Ministry, Reflective Hour with Tammy Toney-Butler, and Linked In.
 
Everywhere you follow me you follow Him.
 
Go forth this day and Conquer; that's His message today for you and my message: I love all of you, I do, and I pray for all of you, and I know that you'll find your way to Freedom as I did and you'll never be the same again.
 
Don't look at me; I'm a sinner that He transformed; it's not about me. It's about you seeing Jesus, living for the first time, being reborn as I was a new creature set free, and even if you're chained, being chained to Christ.

Amen. 

Take that Word today as we end this stream. Let it sink in.
