A Ministry to Those in Bonds

Gentle Heart Ministries

 Since the beginning of the year the Lord has been speaking to me to place a ministry on my website for those in prison.

A gentleman signed my Guest Book in September 2007, it was a short message but so profound, I could not forget it. Gentle Heart Ministries can go behind all fences and through doors. The message was: "I was in prison and you visited me", that message kept repeating itself over and over in my mind.  The Lord began to show me that my ministry may be bound in some places, yet on the Internet it can go to places that I personally could not go to.

(The Lord gave me a prophecy) it was about shackles are coming off of Gods people in the year of 2008.   I truly did not understand what it was about, but I prayed over it and placed it on my website in obedience to God.  Gods Word and Holy Spirit transcend all prison gates, and walls, appearing there to those in bonds.  It has definitely changed my thinking in regards to the value of my web site ministry.

I knew my ministry had to be so much more than poetry and other writings. It is a powerful and comforting tool to those in prison, also to those who are home bound, perhaps from crippling debilitating diseases. To the wounded broken hearts, souls who find my web site I thank God they do.

I will be laying my hands on my computer for ministry to souls daily asking God to bless and comfort souls who visit me.  I will pray for an impartation of the Holy Ghost Anointing to come across each page touching lives on a daily basis.  If you need prayer or comfort reach out to Jesus the only way, truth, and life.

There are many ways that people may find them selves in bonds.  There are the shut-ins, the elderly, the sick; some are bound by words spoken against them in their lives that have left them with low self esteem.  God knows all about you, and loves, you and cares about you. Reach out and touch the hem of His garment and he will make you whole.

This is the year when God will be removing shackles, some literal, and some spiritual.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Touch your servants who are in bonds whether literal, or spiritual. The spiritual bonds are far greater to remove. But with God all things are possible.  There may be prisoners in prison that are freer than there brethren in the free world.  You have spoken Lord you have said "the shackles are coming off".   Some of the shackles that bind your children in the free world are, fear belittlement, unfulfilled dreams, and aspirations.  Set the captives free Jesus those in bonds and those who are spiritually bound.  Bless each bond servant serving you Jesus.  Remove the shackles that are holding us back from serving you.  Bless those who are falsely accused and also bless the guilty ones.  Speak peace into their lives, and hearts and give hope for an expected end.  We don’t have all the answers Lord but you do!

We look to you Jesus for our daily strength, peace, hope, love, and endurance. Teach us Father God to live one moment, one second, one hour, and one day at a time. We must not look back, as we only have now this breath we take.  I take authority over the demons of false accusations in Jesus name.   You have given us all power over all the power of Satan.

Send this word to strengthen your people!  Whether in prison or those shackled by illness or spiritual shackles placed there by the enemy of our soul.  Those we may have placed shackles there themselves by having low self esteem.

Free all prisoners who have been falsely accused!!  Free all your children who have been falsely accused by gossiping lying tongues full of deadly poison.

GOD SAID!  "The shackles are coming off"!  A-MEN

I am His Bond-Servant

I am His bond servant; His presence is so sweet
I walk the outer fields gleaning the fallen wheat

My Master the Lord of the field
Causes my small amount, of a fruitful harvest will yield 

My eyes are longingly seeking Him there
searching out His blessings through prayer

 To be His bond servant is to be visited by Him
In the early morning and when the day light is dim

I will gather closer to Him who sets us free
Come His dear children His blessed bond servant be

There hid away in the secret places, surrounded by His Grace
In His Holy presence, with angels beholding His face

 Oh my Lord your bond servant I long to be
surround me with your Spirit, let your grace be found in me

(Matthew 25: 34-44)

Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,

I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

"Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

"The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

"Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,

I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

"They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

"He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
