Freedom of God

By -

The Lord has freed us for freedom.
Where there is the Spirit of God, there is freedom.

Freedom from God – so what can I do with it? How can I use it? I’m still not free from my troubles, my problems, my issues, my tensions and my worries. Where is my freedom? I know I am a child of God and I own that freedom; it is my right in Christ.
The Lord never said that our problems would go away if we followed Him. The Bible states that the righteous man has many troubles, but God frees him from them all.

God Holy Spirit does bring freedom – freedom to follow God, freedom to choose to not fall into sin, freedom to not bow down to pressures, freedom to resist the devil making him flee from you, freedom to fight, freedom to win.

The freedom of God is the freedom to choose. Imagine the condition of a man before Jesus Christ steps into his life as a Savior. He has problems but no freedom to fight them; he has tensions, but no comfort; he has pressures, but no relief; and what’s more, he does not have the freedom to have any of it.

God Holy Spirit brings with Him the freedom to obtain that which belongs to the child of God. He brings the freedom of being comfortable under pressure, being calm in a storm, being wise in dilemmas, being obedient when tempted, being restful when afraid, and being faithful in trials.

Praise God!!

Freedom of God is freedom to choose. When God Holy Spirit brings freedom, He does not take away the problems. He takes away their ability to affect us. He sets us free from their bondage.

In other words, the change is not outside; it is inside. He changes the way we react to the outside factors. This is when God Holy Spirit transforms and renews our mind; he changes us more into the likeness of the nature of Christ himself. Why else does Paul say of himself that he knows how to live in abundance and in scarcity; because the Holy Spirit has renewed the way he perceives and reacts to his conditions.

God Holy Spirit frees us from what has become the natural way for a man to perceive and react. A woman with a troubled past can live a peaceful and calm life; a family under extreme financial pressure can sing praises to God; a man with a terminal disease can be calm and confidant; a family facing bereavement of a loved one can be in peace; Don’t we see the work of the Blessed Holy Spirit in those lives? Yes, it is the freedom of God working His good works into the lives of His children.

He is with me!

I made a choice to knock on a door not meant for me. He warned me, I did not understand. I stood outside the door. He stood with me. I knocked the door, and it didn’t open for me. He stood with me. I knocked and I knocked. He knocked with me. The door did not open. I waited. He waited with me. I waited. He tried to lead me away from the wrong door. I didn’t understand. He waited. I was knocked down. He was with me. It was an iron door that refused to relent to my knocking. He was with me. I knocked the door till I was hurting and bleeding. He knocked for me. I knocked till was exhausted and weary. He was with me. I sat by the closed door and waited for 6 years, knocking now and then, wearing myself out. Keeping patience and losing it. He waited with me. I knocked off and on. He knocked way more than I did – for me. I refused to budge from the door not meant for me. He stayed. I didn’t understand anything. He understood everything. Yet, He wa

Perfect love casts out fear

I've learnt something about love. Love does not cause us to be weak. It makes us strong. The perfect love of the Father God makes us strong. It brings us life, joy and strength. When we love others with that love, we are strengthened within ourselves. The Word of God says - I do not have a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Problems and disagreements may arise. People are not perfect. Not even that someone special in one's life. But love overlooks. Love conquers the imperfections. No love is not blind. But love is light. When one looks at another under the perfect light of love, all things fall into the perfect perspective. Wrongs are covered, forgiven, and forgotten. Love makes it easy to forgive. Love makes it easy to move on. Love makes everything clear. Decisions come easy, and one is confident that they did right. No matter how a situation turns out, when what we do is done is love, outcome is good. Father God blesses an action done out of lov

Misery Conquered!!

Catch 'em Unawares!! Misery closes our minds, blinds us and deafens our ears with too much noise in our heads. It is especially capable, with these tools, to eventually shut the door of our hearts. Here's a neat technique: Go into a quiet room with Misery and lock yourself in with it. Then, with no prior warning, drop on your knees and call upon the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and our Beloved. He'll come. (obviously!) Then, introduce Misery to Jesus Christ. Let Jesus deal with Misery. Now, for the very important part - you just need to sit back and rest Your Lord Jesus Christ does not need any help dealing with anything, but He sure appreciates you singing some praises. Believe me, your singing praises can distract even your worst enemy from doing his job. The accusator would have just one cause against you - that you sprang a stronger Ally on him and when he was only trying to fight and do his job, your singing distracted him.
