You are delivered

God has given you the victory -- YOU ARE FREE!

Get rid of the rage

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you."
Ephesians 4:31-32

Forgive - Be Free

We've been set free... free indeed!

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
-1 Peter 2:24

Jesus bore our hurts, habits, and hang-ups, so that we may be healed ~ Jesus bore our sins and transgressions so that we could be set free. 
WE ARE free!!  Free indeed!!
Thank you Jesus!

A slave to sin or a slave to God?

"...for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him... " (2 Peter 2:19)
Therefore,
"... be on guard, so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall away from your secure position." (2 Peter 3:17)

Finding your purpose (continued...)

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
-John 8:32 NIV

COME CLEAN

Until you come clean with God, yourself, spouse, better-half, family, and friends, you'll never get to where God wants you to be; until you clean out the paralyzation of sin within, you will never have enough room for the Light of Christ and his amazing plan for your life.

Self-confidence vs. God-confidence

“Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless.  Cultivate God-confidence.”
1 Corinthians 10:11-12 MSG

Self-confidence caused the Israelites to be on a 40-year journey to their destination, instead of a journey that should only have taken them 11 days.  Whereas, God-confidence caused David to kill a world-renowned giant in one shot!  Therefore, whatever you think you can do in your own might, is nothing, absolutely nothing, compared to what can do in His might.  So place all of your confidence in him, take it all out of yourself; rely on his strength, not your own, and the heavy world in which you live will become a world in which living becomes easy and light, free and filling, full of peace.

Tending to our own lives

It’s God we are answerable to – all the way from life to death and everything in between – not each other.  That’s why Jesus lived and died and then lived again:  so that he could be our Master across the entire range of life and death, and free us from the petty tyrannies of each other. 
Adapted from Romans 14:6-9

Hence: Tend to your life, not everyone else’s.

As well, build relationships by embracing each one in all of its uniqueness and differences, without judgment.  For it is not up to us to judge – God will take care of all that on his own time and in his own way.

God keeps his word, the world does not

"... Depend on it:  God keeps his word even when the whole world is lying through its teeth." Romans 3:2-6 MSG

Hold fast to God, not the world in which your flesh dwells, as the world in which your flesh dwells will only kill and destroy.  Whereas the God in which your heart should hold fast to and depend on will give you life in abundance until it overflows (John 10:10) -  this you can depend on!

Who's the real fool?

“… you didn’t lie to men, but to God.”  
Acts 5:1-2

My friends, let’s get real, let’s give up our façades, let’s stand up to the plate and start telling the truth.  It is time to seek God’s approval - not our own, not man’s.  

Remember, when we are playing fake, when we are lying, and when we are running from the truth, there is only one being fooled – and that one fool is ourselves.

Continually healed and freed!

“For she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored… And He said to her, Daughter your faith… has restored you… Go in (into) peace and be continually healed and freed.” Mark 5:28,34 AMP

Faith in God heals! Faith in God restores! Faith in God protects! Friends, God can overcome seemingly hopeless situations; faith in God far outweighs any faith in the flesh; yes, faith in God can withstand and conquer the most dire of circumstances! Therefore, keep believing in God, hoping on God, praying to God, and, most importantly, keep the faith in God at all times and in all situations.  I believe and know that if you do, you will experience life altering healings and miracles.

Praise God.

Get away with Jesus and you'll recover your life

Jesus resumed talking to the people... "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?  Come to me.  Get away with me and you'll recover your life.  I'll show you how to take a real test.  Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it.  Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.  I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.  Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." Matthew 11:27-30 MSG

Enough is enough!  It is time to learn to live like Jesus and stop fretting over the world.  Life is too short and too precious to waste.  So, undress your current life, throw it in the trash, and put on the spirit of Jesus.  Not only will you shine with beauty, grace, confidence, love and joy, but you will be a living example of real living, real life, real love, real joy; you will be the living example of Jesus Christ himself.

The moment you ask God

The moment you ask God to come into your heart, forgive you your sins and cleanse you of all unrighteousness, here’s what happens:

“… I’ll pour water over you and scrub you clean.  I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you.  I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed… you’ll be my people! I’ll be your God!” (Jeremiah 36:24-28 MSG)

God is so good and he loves you so much. 
Receive him as your Lord and Savior; it’s time for you to live the shining life that the is going to give you;
you are free, you are forgiven, you are loved! 
God bless!

Sin can eat the life right out of a person


“… But your sins will eat away at you from within…” Ezekiel 24:22-24

 

Repent and release your sins over to God; life is too short to let sin control you and eat the life right out of you.  So, be free, be redeemed – how?  Stop sinning!  From there let God take over, cleanse you with his compassion and fill you with his healing power; let the bondage that has confined you for so long be released and let the new life that Christ wants to give you fill your mind, body and soul.

Yes, indeed - God is my salvation

“Yes, indeed – God is my salvation.
I trust, I won’t be afraid.
God – yes God! – is my strength and song,
best of all, my salvation.”
Isaiah 12:2

Trust! Be not afraid!
You are God’s child.
He’s with you.
He will save you and free you from darkness.

Acknowledge your sin

Psalm 32:5 New International Version
Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD." And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Call out to God, repent for your sins, and let God clean and clear the slate of your life.  Your life will refresh, your burdens will lighten, and your heart will be free to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
