Chains Be Broken- 2010

2009 has been a year of challenges and victories. We have seen the Lord work in many ways throughout the year. I don`t believe that we have arrived at the destination we set out for yet, and this is a normal and progressive thing. There is a battle raging in the lives of the people in our body and in the spiritual realm in this area. We are not changing the vision or heading in a new direction; we still have to finish what we started.
1. Mortgage Miracle
2. Personal miracles - Banner
3. Finances – Finances will not hold us back, prayed for blessing in the midst of economic down turn.
4. Ministry Development Weeks - training the saints.

Our theme this year is: Chains be broken - 2010
Definition of chains:
1. Something that binds or restrains; bond: the chain of timidity
2. Shackles or fetters: to place a prisoner in chains.
3. Bondage; servitude: to live one's life in chains

Isaiah 42:6-7
(NKJV) "I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.

Luke 4:17-21 (NKJV) And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
Jesus is the only one who can truly break those chains.

Three components to focus on: 1. Personal 2. People 3. Principalities
