It was for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1
Oxen never look real excited when they’re in a field pulling a plow.
I’m sure they rather do anything but be outside, under a hot sun, working.
Unfortunately, they don’t have much say in the matter.
When the farmer decides that it is time to work, its time to work.
Thank God that Christ decided to give up His life so we can enjoy ours.
His sacrifice gave us the ability to be with Him in eternity.
It also gave us the right to live here on earth, free from the chains of sin and death.
Once we have accepted this gift, we no longer have to be held back, held down, or reminded of our past.
Our freedom overtakes our past, our present issues and it protects us from future problems.
Whom the Son has set free is free indeed.
Father, thank You for freeing us. This is a deed that only Christ could do. There was no way that we could change the course that we were on. Sin bound us to eternal separation from You. Christ freed us and we are forever grateful. We are also thankful for knowing, if we are born again, we don’t have to be subject to the chains that the enemy uses to keep us from enjoying life here on earth and with You in eternity.
Amen.
WOW! I am so thankful to God for searching further into your message on “A New Beginning.” Just being led by the spirit to scroll to the bottom of the page and look at your website. This was different. I believe because I felt the heart of God as I partook of your message. The Spirit felt I needed to see and hear more of what was available on your site. As I searched, I found it. WOW! My sister and I had just had a conversation about how to witness in love to those bound by homosexuality. But it was greater than that –let me just say I was humbled by what I read in your daily empowering messages and I was surely blessed. God has called me to minister in a comparative capacity-to the youth-empowering and educating them on LIFE, in secular doors as well as in the household of faith. Met great challenges but am allowing God to deal with me and bring me face-to-face with “Me” It shall come to pass and the Lord God will be glorified. Amen
Amen. Keep walking by faith and you will see God do miraculous things in your life.
