We have all heard of the expression Break Every Chain, right? Church jargon sounds good to get an Amen, but what happens when we break chains and they bound us right back in bondage? Broken things can be fixed. What we need to say is Destroy Every Chain, because destroyed things cannot be restored. The righteous burn bridges from our past and people that have been toxic for us… we don’t just put up a sign that says Broken or Out of Order on that bridge because those people can still find a way across back into your life.

The modern day chains that we may experience can come in a variety of forms. It might be an addiction, a lazy attitude or a failure to forgive. When we just break chains, a person or fleshly desire that we allow back into our lives can be the link that bonds back those things you claimed to be broken free from.

I encourage you to be strong enough to let certain toxic people go and be stronger than any addition, past experience or generational curse that keeps you from Christ. Destroy that thing that is hindering you. Once you destroy it and not look back, you will grow in Christ and truly be made free.

Luke 9:62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
