Free Indeed!

Title: Free Indeed
"So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered Him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
(John 8:31-36, ESV)
What does it mean to be free indeed? For many people, getting to the freedom is one very hard step. But it isn't hard. They themselves make it hard. Jesus wants us to be free, but your faith is what matters. The man of God has his half to do, and you have your half. You can show your faith by your efforts and only that. But, don't get me wrong, God's freedom is SOOOO unique, beautiful and peaceful, and can be felt especially through prayer. But...
Is your freedom 'sin'? 
Well. Well. You see, many people call themselves Christians, but, you know what, they don't follow God. They remain in the 'freedom' of sin. But, Satan only lures you into something, so that he can trap you, destroy you, and bring you to the Lake of Fire on the last day. Satan is VERY jealous of man. As Satan, he cannot be a son of God, like we are. No! he cannot have the power we have, to create our future. That's what our next series will be about. Creating Your Future. We won't post in this series everyday we may post other things as well), but we will do this series as frequently as the Holy Spirit wants. 

The freedom in Christ is a sweet one, where we can freely know that we are not bound by the cage sin puts us in. I'm pretty sure if you asked a sinner, 'Do you enjoy life?', they would talk about how they almost committed suicide by the evil spirit in them, or cut themselves or how they have 'almost to succeed' syndrome. As Christians, our lives go straight up the ladder of success, but a non-believer goes up-down-up-down-down-down-down-up-down-DEAD. So, remember the freedom Christ has given you! Continue your freedom through submission to the Word and prayer.

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

Put on the armour! The Armour! The Armour! The Armour of God!

' Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! Harness the horses, and mount up you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets , polish the spears, put on the armour!  - Jeremiah 46: 3-4 This verse talk about a battle. Not a battle of the physical (the seen) but a battle of the spiritual (the unseen). We need to stand up in the faith! We must defend ourselves from the enemy! "Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8. What do we need to do to shield us from the enemy? How do we stop "the roaring lion"  from attacking us? Here's the good news! God has given us an armour! The Armour of God (or AOG for short) in Ephesians 6:14-17 talks about this armour what we should wear, do and understand! " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readine...

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...
