Set Free

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 13th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Old Testament in the Book of Exodus 34:7:

”…by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity (the sin) of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

Then we go straight to the Book of Romans 6:23:

”For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Beautiful!

Many people often contact me and they are very troubled and they say that they really feel oppressed. They find themselves doing the very things they don’t want to do and they find out that their parents and their grandparents before them did exactly the same thing. I’m talking about sin. I’m talking about things like alcoholism, drug addiction, immorality even suicide. “Yes, my father took his life, my grandmother took her life, and so what hope is there for me?” Well, there is lots of hope for you today. If we go to Luke 8:2, we’ll see that Mary Magdalene was delivered of seven demons by Jesus. He set her free. That woman was the first person to see Jesus resurrected from the tomb on Easter Sunday.

I want to pray for you this morning and I want to pray that this thing that you are troubled with will be cut off once and for all. That’s why Jesus said: ”It is finished.” John 8:36 says if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. You do not have to walk around with that thing on your back. Today it is going to be cut off and never to be spoken of again. Now if you want me to do that, I’m going to pray for you and maybe you’d like to pray after me:

Dear Lord Jesus, 

Today I repent of all the sins of my fathers and mothers and grandfathers and grandmothers and those before them, because Lord, You came down from heaven to earth to set things straight. You’ve said if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us and set us free.(1 John 1:9).

Therefore, you are free today. Go, as Jesus always said, and sin no more. 

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day, 
Goodbye.
