Prisons/ The Emancipator #171

The definition of prison: a building for the confinement of persons held while awaiting trial, persons sentenced after conviction, etc.
Prisons can take on many forms that go way beyond a building that houses  inmates. 
Illnesses, anxiety, depression, and discouragement can also become prisons, confining and shackling souls, in ways that can be more devastating than a 6x6 cell with bars. 
Millions are in these "prisons"... Walking inmates. 
The enemy of our souls, the devil himself, is the jailer, 
he knows already what those held prisoner need also to know: 
The key to freedom and emancipation is in the hand already of the One who is the lover of our souls, the One who knocks at the door of our hearts: "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death." 
Revelation 1:18 NKJV
Beloved, if you are finding yourself in a "prison", reach out and take hold, the Liberator is waiting to unshackle you.
