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.

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

What is the wisdom of the world to God? FOOLISHNESS!

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...
