"He sent from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the LORD was my support.
He also brought me forth into a broad place;
He rescued me, because He delighted in me....
For You are my lamp, O LORD;
And the LORD illumines my darkness.
For by You I can run upon a troop (crush a troop);
By my God I can leap over a wall."1
He drew me out of many waters.

You are "free". It is for freedom that you have been set free (Galations 5:1); therefore, run, skip, rejoice in that broad, broad place.
Claim your freedom and be free to 'walk the ground' and take possession of all that has been freely given to you.
Scour the Word for the truth of what has been given and the authority that you have in Christ and claim it and use it. You have already been fully enabled to use it effectively. Therefore put it into practice by faith.
"As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the LORD is tested;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
For who is God, besides the LORD?
And who is a rock, besides our God?
God is my strong fortress;
And He sets (free) the blameless in His way.
He makes my feet like hinds' feet,
And sets me on my high places.
He trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your help makes me great.
You enlarge my steps under me,
And my feet have not slipped."2
"From my distress I called upon the LORD;
The LORD answered me and set me in a large place.
The LORD is for me; I will not fear;"3
What seemingly insurmountable obstacle (walls) are you currently facing? Take courage and His help and live free. Jesus came that you "may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:10 Choose life.
"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence." 2 Peter 1:2,3
1 2 Samuel 22:17-20
2 2 Samuel 22:29-37
3 Psalm 118:5
(I encourage you to read and meditate on all of 2 Samuel 22 and Psalm 18, where David repeats it).
