Look inside yourself. How many things have kept you tied down? Fear, shame, guilt, addiction, anger, past mistakes… So many people are living imprisoned, not behind bars, but inside their own minds. And maybe you’re one of them. You try to move forward, but something always pulls you back. You smile on the outside, but inside, you feel stuck—trapped by what you’ve been through or afraid of what might come.
You don’t have to live like this.
“Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?” (Isaiah 58:6)
God never created you to live in chains. He sees your suffering, and He wants to break every yoke off your life. But it starts with a choice—a step of faith.
You may not feel strong. You may not even know how to begin. But when you cry out to Him, He answers. He breaks chains. He sets people free. You are not too far gone, and it’s not too late.
Let God remove the weight you’ve been carrying for so long. Let Him give you peace where there was torment and joy where there was pain.
There’s a new beginning waiting for you at the nearest Universal Church. Walk through those doors and talk to a pastor. You don’t need to have the words—we’re here to listen, pray, and help you find the freedom that only God can give.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
