Captives set free

As I've been reading the bible and other various books and praying for Cornerstone, the single thought that keeps going through mind is about captives being set free. All kinds of different things can keep us in bondage if we let it. I know there are things in my life that I have to choose to stand in faith and believe what Gods word tells me to be true. Whether it's addictions, insecurities or lies we believe about ourselves. How God sees us is what really matters. He is for us not against us (Romans 8:31).
I pray that we would open our hearts to Him and receive the revelation of how He sees us and how deeply He loves each one of us. When we fully know Gods love we can fully give it. His love is the tool He uses to bring us freedom, then God can use us to help others break free.
A few days back Carl posted Isaiah 58:6-7 "Is not this the fast that I choose, to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?... I believe it is an important verse for us too. Along with Isaiah 61:1 (said again in Luke 4:18). "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty those who are oppressed".

Years ago I attended prayer meetings that a man named Leonard Ravenhill would lead.
This was one of his favorite songs and has become one of mine.

"O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!"

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!
’Tis an ocean full of blessing, ’tis a haven giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ’tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!

Hymn written by Samuel Trevor Francis (1875)
