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.

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 me to repent of my sins and gui

Worship

Glory be to the Father who deserves all honor and praise. It is He whom I adore and worship, and it is His name that is above all which I will raise.  The One who is faithful and true; He will never leave me. His mercy has kept me throughout my life, it's powerful and endless like a mighty sea.  Who is like our God? He is good and just. A man of unclean lips I am; I revere You, Lord, for I am merely dust.  I bow to the One who is truly worthy. The Creator of the universe and all that is earthly.  Holy is Your name Lord; You are beyond my limited comprehension. It is you that my heart is fixed to, oh Lord, how you've straightened my direction.  The King who was slain for my sins; I am yours til my dying breath. For nothing can separate me from His love, no man or angel nor height or depth. Come and let us worship the One who deserves our all. The time is near when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus Christ is Lord for He alone is Lord of all.  Inspirational B

Finding your Purpose

Good evening everyone. I pray that everyone has had a good and productive week. Today, marks a special day. A new member and I were announced as new deacons at our church. I had explained to my pastor a couple weeks ago that I was ready to be a deacon. It's funny because for quite some time, the Lord has put it in my heart and mind to become a deacon. However, I did not feel ready for such a responsibility. What I now realize is that I did not have a closer walk with God, nor did I have enough faith in the Lord that he would guide me through the process of being a deacon. I was mostly scared and nervous of what my tasks and responsibilities would be, and if I would truly be up for it. The one thing that I can be grateful for is that the Lord will accomplish things in his time. We simply have to be faithful and patient and know he is going to bless us in the right time. I never knew though, that I would ever take such a step as this. The thought of being a deacon simply never really
