This is the prayer outlook for this month . As a church community we are doing this together on the first Tuesday of the month. We are aware that this might not work for everyone on this day and this material has been designed for you to use at any time that is convenient for you. This information will be up throughout the month and will change at the beginning of next month for the focus for that month.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV)
The most dangerous cages are the ones we stop noticing. We often think of bondage as iron bars, but more often, it is found in the rhythms we tolerate, the behaviors we excuse, and the heavy atmospheres we’ve simply learned to breathe.
We can become so accustomed to the “way things are” that we mistake survival for living. Like the Israelites in Egypt, our spirits can become so conditioned to the weight of the brick that we begin to fear the freedom of the wilderness. God didn’t just have to take Israel out of Egypt; He had to take “Egypt” out of Israel.
In Exodus, we see that God is not a distant observer of our struggle. He is intimately aware of the friction in our lives:
“I have certainly seen the oppression of my people… I have heard their cries of distress… I am aware of their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them…” — Exodus 3:7-8 (NLT)
God’s heart has not changed. The same God who looked upon the brickyards of Egypt looks upon the mental, emotional, and spiritual heavy-lifting you are doing today. He is not just calling you away from oppression; He is calling you into a “fertile and spacious land”—a life where there is room to breathe, to grow, and to belong.
This month, as we fast and pray, we are not just asking for a temporary escape. We are learning how to stay free. Through Galatians 5:1, we will explore the four dimensions of Christ’s liberation:
This is a great opportunity to work with God and experience freedom. It is a season to move beyond the “tolerated” and step into the “appropriated” freedom that Christ has already paid for. It is time to stop being “tied up” and start being sent out.
Just one important note on fasting. We fast not to earn a breakthrough with God but simply to clear the noise, the static that hinders our ability to hear God. We fast so we can hear the God who has already come down to rescue us.
