The word of God is not chained

2 Timothy 2:9 â–º
"for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained."

As a Christian, you will always face challenges, the devil won't give up on you because he knows his time is short hence he is working over time to deceive you.

In our key scripture we find that the apostle Paul was lamenting the fact that he was suffering for the cause of Christ even to the point of chains. The verse takes a new twist when the apostle says that even though he is in chains, the word of God is not chained.

Child of God, I want you to understand that God may allow the devil to chain you, but he cannot allow his infallible word to be chained. His word is you hope. Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Rejoice for the word of God is going to remove those chains, God is faithful to his word.

I don't know what chain is binding you, it might be a chain of sickness, remember the word of God is not chained it says, "By His stripes we WERE healed" (1 Peter 2:24). Claim your healing right now in Jesus' name and see that chain of sickness disappear. Is your chain poverty? Don't despair the word of God is not chained, the bible says in 2 Corinthians 8:9

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich." there was an exchange at the cross, you can't be poor anymore, Jesus paid the price for you.

Some of you are bound in drug addiction, sexual sins like p*rnography, m*sturbation, phone sex, homosexuality and other works of the devil that chain man kind. I have hope for you, the word of God is not chained, you are coming back alive, you are coming back strong, you are coming back a victor, the word in 1 John 3:8 says, "... For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." Jesus destroyed the works of the devil, you are not gonna continue being a slave of the devil, deliverance has come to you, the devil has been exposed, he is a defeated foe. Confess your freedom until you possess it, Acts 19v20 says, "So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed." Are you chained by lack of peace? Don't worry, the word of God which is not chaine, has a solution, Jesus in John 14:27 said "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid"  Receive your peace now in Jesus' name.

Lastly, I want us to look at Paul and Silas who were put into prison for preaching Christ. Lets read these verses below:

Acts 16
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone's chains came loose."

The two man were in chains but the word they were preaching was not chained, glory to God! The word in Psalms 22v3 "But thou holy that inhabitest the praise of Israel" the word had to come to pass, God had to come and inhabit the praises of his children as the word was not chained. My brother and my sister, allow the word of God to remove those chains that rob you of joy and peace, believe the word and receive peace. SHALOM!
