Romans 8:1-2 (ESV)
1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
Observation:
Are you fearful and afraid of what this world has come to? People ask me, "Have you ever seen anything like this?"
I have lived long enough, seen lots of things, and there are lots of things I have not seen, and lots of things I do not know. But, I have learned that I don't have to concern myself about those things because I know the one who sees and knows everything.
I do not look to any person from the past, or the present, or the future, to give me freedom because my freedom comes from my creator and my redeemer.
John 8:34-36 (ESV)
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.
35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Who is your deliverer? Who is your leader?
There are many voices in the world and in the church who are speaking. The voices and the fingers are speaking and pointing in so many ways. Who are you listening to, and who are you following?
I am listening to the voice of God. He speaks to me through His Word, prayer, and other Spirit led people who know God, and are known by Him. The Holy Spirit is my teacher, and guide. I have decided to follow my creator and redeemer; my Savior and my Shepherd.
Psalm 23:1-3 (ESV)
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
To follow anyone else is to be led astray. Jesus knows the way because He is the way.
John 14:6 (ESV)
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Prayer:
Father, I exalt Your name above every name on earth, and in heaven. Father, I am so grateful for Your provisions, power, protection, and peace. So glad that I can live in freedom and in peace because the Prince of Peace has overcome the world. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
