Over the last few weeks this verse has been deep in my heart. I was listening to this song from Bethel called, Freedom, about a month ago & ever since have not been able to shake this scripture from my heart.
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Freedom" 2 Corinthians 3:17
That means that regardless of what you are going through in life, there is hope, you are PROMISED freedom from the one who died on the cross to bring it to you.
If you are..
deep in despair
lost in depression
crippled by fear
out of faith
stripped of joy
worry consumes you
have a hardened heart
feel like you are never good enough
buried in grief
an addict
in denial
prideful
need encouragement
bound by anxiety
can't get free of gossiping
are never happy
selfish
judgmental
suicidal
in an abusive relationship
have low self esteem
are beyond arrogant
bitter
hopeless
need healing
lost in regret
lonely
or maybe you are
swimming in a sea of all of all of these
know there is
FREEDOM!
Trust me. Over the years the Lord has set me free of many of the things listed above that the enemy tried to keep me bound up in but because I know the one who saves & rescues I have found freedom. It hasn't always been perfect or easy but it is a promise that I continually pursued until the day I walked in freedom. Freedom comes different for everyone. Some can pursue it & find it instantly while others have to work at it. Whatever the case may be for you, you do not have to do it alone. Confide in the Lord & let him be the one to free you.
I encourage you to listen to this song, be encouraged, find hope, and ask the one named Jesus to be alive in your heart & to set you free. Feel free to send me an email or message & I'd love to pray and talk with you.

I really like that song. Freedom must be a spiritual theme God's trying to teach His people. My sister and I were just talking about this last night.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Freedom has been something on my heart lately for people in our church & our loved ones. Love what the Lord is up to. Thanks for stopping by lady!
