Freedom!

As the sun rising every morning

Speaks of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ,

Who will come soon and usher His Bride into Glory

And the perfect freedom that is Heaven;

Nevertheless, the freedom that He offers in His Spirit

Is available to all who make Him Lord, Savior

And friend in the here and now;

Those who make Him the King of their hearts.

Christ Jesus came to bring a freedom that is out of this world;

The freedom of His glorious Kingdom on earth as in Heaven;

The Kingdom where He rules and reigns;

Christ in us, our hope of Glory.

This is the only freedom that exists on earth.

Freedom is a heart yielded to the Christ of God.

Freedom from all the entanglements of this life and the evil one.

It is 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)

Christ Jesus said:

If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

Then you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free. 

(John 8:31-32)

The apostle Paul said:

But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin,

You wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

(Romans 6:17-18)

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of LIFE set me free

From the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2)

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing

With the glory that will be revealed in us.

The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice,

But by the will of the one who subjected it,

In hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay

And brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

(Romans 8:18-21)

Now the Lord is the Spirit,

And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

(2 Corinthians 3:17)

Free Will

God has given us each free will to choose the life we will lead.

He sent His Son, Christ Jesus, who offers to all the Kingdom of God.

Any person can enter His Kingdom.

Christ Jesus came as the Way and the Truth and the LIFE;

As the Christ of God;

Calling men and women to repent of their sin and enter His Kingdom

Where love, peace and joy rule;

To choose His Way, His Truth and His LIFE of our own free will,

Given to us by God.

A person enters the Kingdom of God by first seeking it above all else;

A person enters the Kingdom of God by yielding their heart to Christ Jesus;

By giving to the Spirit of God control of their heart;

By allowing the Spirit of God to rule and reign in and through them.

Christ Jesus wants control of our hearts, not for His sake, but for ours.

He is the Perfect One in whom is freedom from sin

Which is the only real freedom their is.

Christ Jesus objective is to make us ONE with Himself,

Where He gives us everything He has and we give Him everything we have;

He has everything worth having; Glorious beyond all compare

And we have simply our heart.

It is a infinitely imbalanced trade on His part

But that is the extent of His love for us.

Bondage

The opposite of freedom is bondage.

Bondage has two sources the flesh and the devil.

These two are most often combined.

The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life

Comprise the complete bondage the world is captive to.

The world is completely under the control and rule of the devil.

Unforgiveness is a terrible bondage we impose upon ourselves

Aided by the deception of the devil.

All bondage can only be broken by complete submission to Christ Jesus;

Submission to His Way, His Truth and His LIFE;

Submission to His will, as a child.

Control

Control outside of the Holy Spirit is a form of bondage.

Man made religion, is all about control by men.

Men in the flesh and under the deception of the devil love control.

Control is often sought and obtained by men and women

Who have a devil inspired desire and ability to dominate others

Through their speaking ability, and or personal charisma and knowledge.

The devil masquerades as an angel of light

And those under his deception masquerade as angels of light.

Christ Jesus tells us that we will know them by their fruit,

Because a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

Many people like to be controlled because it takes away their personal responsibility.

They abdicate their responsibility

To someone, who in their eyes, seems more able than themselves.

We Were Created To Be Free

We were created for Paradise-- Heaven and perfect freedom.

We lost our freedom when we were born into sin.

We regain our freedom when we are born again

And become subjects of the Kingdom of God.

There is prefect freedom in the Kingdom of God;

Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

In the environment of the Presence and Glory of God and His anointing.

And the pure, sweet love that emanates from Him.

Freedom from all bondage, body, soul, mind and spirit.

His Anointing Breaks The Yoke

It shall come to pass in that day

That his (the godless) burden will be taken away from your shoulder.

And his yoke from your neck,

And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil. (Isaiah 10:27 NKJ)

The anointing of the Anointed One, Christ Jesus, breaks the yoke of the devil;

The Baptism (immersion) in the Holy Spirit and then walking in the Spirit.

There Is Perfect Freedom In The Kingdom Of God

Christ Jesus said seek first and above all else the Kingdom of God

And His righteousness; the perfect righteousness of God.

The Kingdom is accessed through Christ Jesus, 

The anointing of the Anointed One;

The Living Water that he gives to those who are thirsty.

Christ Jesus the narrow gate.

Narrow, because nothing of the world can come in;

None of its precepts, none of its thinking.

Only Children Can Come Into This Freedom

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked,

'Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?'

He called a little child and had him stand among them.

And he said: 'I tell you the truth, unless you change

And become like little children,

You will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child

Is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.

(Matthew 18:1-5)

Access to the Kingdom of God requires childlike faith.

It requires that we become as a little child

Which is in fact what we are

Before the infinite intellect and supernatural being of God.

The one who humbles himself like a child;

The one who acknowledges the finite limitations of our human understanding;

The one who embraces the Truth, Christ Jesus;

Only that one can enter the Kingdom of God.

And only in the Kingdom of God is there freedom.

This requires that we change; that we repent;

Turning to God with all that is in us.

No one in the Kingdom has any reservations about it;

It is the Pearl of great price; the treasure hidden in the field;

We must sell all and purchase the Pearl;

We must sell all and purchase the Field.

We must lose our life in this life to receive His LIFE;

To receive His Kingdom, the only place of freedom. Hallelujah!
