Paul said I let go of the things behind and press forward to things in front of me. Paul said “I learned how to be abased and I learned how to be abound. Paul said that the right I want to do I struggle and the wrong I dont want to do I struggle oh wretched man I am. Paul knew that there were was freedom in the acceptance of what is instead of what could be. Paul’s ministry showed us how to be aware that our flesh is weak but the Holy Spirit that Dwells within is our strength. Paul wrote in Philippines I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Paul had a thorn in his side as it was described in the Bible. Paul asked God to remove the thorn and God said I sent the thorn to buffet you or keep you humble.
Jesus understood that being connected to the “True Vine” was the essence of staying grounded with God. Jesus commanded demons to be under control of his authority and they always yielded to His will and His way.
You see all that we see today is a repeat for many but an awakening for those who have been spiritually sleep or bound. Jesus said whom the Son sets free is free indeed but this is a faith walk. You can want to be free but if you still perpetuate that you are bound, weak, disabled, naive, easily led etc. My question is how can you walk in Freedom and still walk in bondage?
Tragedy or unfortunate circumstances do occur but Paul illustrated that you do not have to stay bound or stuck.
I end by saying deliverance is freedom but will you accept that the chains holding you must be broken for healing. To be a true witness to others instead of a hypocrite who understands the what and how, but struggles to live it in their own lives
You got to live it. You got to embody the transformation from the old self to the new self. Yes, it can be scary to stop yielding to the flesh..
Prayer, obedience, godly counsel, studying God’s 📖, having a church home that helps you grow perpetuates freedom and deliverance.
Will you walk in victory or stay bound?
