Today I was with my loved one. We were praying together. As I prayed for her, an image of a bird escaping from its cage became so vivid in my spirit. I realized it was the Holy Spirit talking to me. I needed to pen down this experience in a note for her.
I always believed the Lord speaks to me through these notes. I was always convinced as I pen down these encounters. It is not just the Lord speaking to me. In return, it is used for the glory of God for my readers.
I was asking the Lord. ”What does the bird being escaped from the cage mean? I see the bird flying out, in fact.
The Holy Spirit whispered.”Pen down, R.J.I will explain to you.”
I was excited. As I wrote this note, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit so real in me. I just knew it was going to be a great experience.
In the Bible, as we read Psalm 124:7 (NIV) We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
I would like to draw your attention to three key words in this verse above.
Bird
Broken
Escaped
Most often, we have become like birds trapped in our own cage. Birds here refers to the person or the soul. The very person will have the thought of being caged for years. It can be strongholds, traps of evil, or maybe just demonic thoughts that have been built over the years.
We are stuck in a situation we never wanted. We find it so difficult to come out of it. But as I meditated on the Scripture above, I was reminded of the bird. It has escaped from the fowler’s snare.
The second keyword I would like to emphasize on is the word broken.
In other words, the snare has been broken and the bird escaped.
This snare can be closely related to afflictions. It can also be tied to sins, thought systems, and patterns of life. These elements entangle and imprison people.
But it is broken today. You would experience a form of total deliverance from the situation that has ensnared you from the very beginning. The same relationship or situation that has made you stuck would be used for His glory.
Genesis chap 18 : 14
14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”
When we dwell deeper on this verse, it reveals that Sarah was about 90 years old at that time. The promise came to her that she would conceive. I can so imagine herself, probably she has been in her own cage for years, thinking she would never conceive. Scripture has also stated that Sarah was barren. It was a lie she had accepted until the very cage was broken. Once it had been broken, Sarah was able to be totally free. At 90 years old, and with Abraham close to 100 years old, she was able to conceive. In other words, her advanced age did not prevent her from bearing a child.
Are you someone here who feels such?
Maybe you aren’t happy with a situation that took place in your life.
Maybe it was not your original plan. But the mess got bigger and bigger. Suddenly, you find no way out. You feel trapped in the same circle of life.
Or you just feel stuck and no progress. Or maybe there is progress, but there is no inner joy.
You may not realize it, but you have been taking control of your own life. You do this with your own mathematics and logical thinking. Yet, remember it is the Lord who holds you in His palm. He would never leave you in the cage. When Jesus is in your life, the cage has to break. That’s how it works.
The devil loves to plant thoughts of evil in our mind that reminds us God is not with us.
It is totally the lie of the enemy!
I want to remind each of our readers here today
Hebrews chap 13 : 5 says ” He will never leave you nor forsake you.”
The bird escaped from the cage. I believe it is a prophecy for this sister. It is also a prophecy for anyone else who is reading this note today. In the final three months of 2025, there would be a season of supernatural overflow.
”You will experience freedom, and you will see things changing in your life. Like how the fowler’s snare was broken, the cage has been broken today. The favor of God is upon you and your generation, and you will see the manifestation of it. It is your season of breakthrough. A season to experience generational blessings, which is from Christ alone. Total freedom comes from resting in Christ. As you rest in His presence, you will experience this freedom. It has already been manifested. This is your season of increased glory.”Amen
