DAY TWO: THE POWER OF RELEASE

THE WORD

• Genesis 50:20 – “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”

Joseph’s life reminds us of the power of release. Betrayed, abandoned, and falsely accused, he could have chosen bitterness. Instead, he chose forgiveness, and it positioned him for destiny. Unforgiveness chains us to the past, but forgiveness opens doors to God’s future.

The Spirit reminds us that forgiveness is not condoning sin but releasing its hold on us. When you let go, you make room for God to heal and vindicate. Release is not weakness — it is strength in Christ.

Forgiveness doesn’t erase memory, but it transforms it. With the Spirit’s help, your wounds no longer carry poison but testimony. Joseph could look at his brothers and say, “You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.” That is the power of release — it turns past pain into present victory.

CONFESSION

Today I confess that I release every offense into God’s hands. I will not be chained to bitterness or controlled by pain. I forgive freely, and I walk in the freedom that comes from Christ. My future is not tied to my wounds, but to God’s destiny for me.

PRAYR FOCUS

Lord, I choose to release every offense, every wound, and every betrayal into Your hands. Just as Joseph forgave his brothers, I forgive those who hurt me. Thank You for turning my pain into purpose.

Holy Spirit, help me to let go daily and live free from bitterness. Give me the strength to trust that You are my vindicator and that forgiveness unlocks my destiny. Make me a vessel of compassion and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
