You are Free!


Hello my siblings in Christ. It has been a while since I last posted on my blog. Today, I want to talk about sin and how we have been freed from it. The Bible teaches us that because of Jesus', Sacrifice and Grand Resurrection, we are all free from the shackles and bonds of our sins. Consider Romans 8: 1-5: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit" (ESV).  Praise God!! These verses speak volume. Because of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we can now live free. We don't have to live the life we use to live. We no longer have to worry about being trapped in the same vicious cycle we struggled with. Jesus has set us free; therefore, we must start living free. Though you faced so many problems in your life from the ones you love most, you are no longer bound to those problems nor bound to the resentment you feel towards them. You choose to forgive. You've dealt with addictions that have been hard to keep away from, but God freed you from that life and has given you heavenly desires. Now you stand strong in righteousness and honor the Lord. By proclaiming God as your Lord and Savior, he will set you free from your sinful ways. Now, even though we are free, we must always keep ourselves guarded from temptation and sin. My wife and I were reading Genesis 4. In this chapter, it spoke of God warning Cain of sin. Verse 7 says: "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. It's desire is for you, but you must rule over it" (ESV). The enemy is always on the lookout for anyone who does not have God on their side. If we are outside of God's protection and continue our old ways of living, we are essentially accepting those sinful chains of imprisonment that Jesus, has already freed us from. It doesn't have to be this way. You are the child of the Almighty God. God has redeemed you from sin. He has given you a new life, a new heart, and a new mind. Be the master of your sinful nature and start seeking pure and righteous ways in how you can live for him. Let God order you steps, not sin. I pray that someone was blessed by this post. I pray that God touches your heart and mind right now and inspires you to start living for him. He has done so much for me, I just simply want to give back to him. All honor and praise goes to, Jesus Christ. God Bless you all! 

Inspirational Bible Quotes:



Romans 6:6
We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.



 1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.



 John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

When He Returns

What a glorious but frightful day it will be For some, they will shout for joy while others for mercy they will plea.  For the goats will be met with His wrathful judgment you will see, but the sheep, eternal rest will be what they receive.  At last we will all see Him clearly with our very eyes The One who is faithful in steadfast love; He has heard His peoples’ cries.  Money, power, fame or Christ, upon which will you rely? To Him you are either friend or stranger, today you must decide! A lowly and meek child was He when He first arrived But a mighty and victorious King He’ll return, with nowhere to hide.  All of those who have mocked His holy name It is them in which He will put to shame.  To none will be a second chance on that day Accept Jesus now for thee, my friend, oh how I pray! Hear Him now for salvation does call So that when He returns you will not fall.  Inspirational Scripture:  John 3:16-17 ESV "For God so loved the world, that he gave ...

The Heavy Hand That Frees

How marvelous and instructive is your Hand, Lord. It’s the same gentle Hand that puts my heart at ease and its the same mighty Hand that rebukes me. O’ where would I be without your Heavy Hand, Father. A lost and miserable man would I be; wandering through  the desert with no hope in sight seeking for water and not finding it.  O’ how strong is your conviction when your Heavy Hand is upon me; such a heavy, intense weight is placed on my soul.  How my flesh wants to ignore, defy, and flee it, but Your  Holy Spirit whispers to me that I be still and come back to You. Yes, Your Heavy Hand shows me the wicked error of my ways.  Your Heavy Hand reveals how my sins try to disconnect me from You. But your Heavy Hand won’t let me go because I am your's, Lord.  Just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights, so it is  when Your Hand is over me. Thank you, Abba! You rebuke those that you love; ones that You call Your children. Father, Your Hand helps m...

Along with writing spiritual poetry, I enjoy taking pictures of God's glorious work in nature, architect, food, etc. I did mention that I will be doing more with my blog page so this is one way I will expand on it. I will try to keep my blog post up to date. My wife takes care of the videos, so if you want to check out our adventures, please visit her Youtube channel: Ebony Navarrete .
