You Can Do It

Have you noticed how many things there are that hinder our freedom these days?  That is not the Lord at work in us but the one who “prowls around” wanting us to see victimization and defeat as a lifestyle as opposed to freedom and victory.  It is time our lives expressed that freedom and victory and we need to tell the forces of evil where to “get off”!  Amen?

Galatians 5 begins “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free!”  In other words, if we are not experiencing freedom then we are not experiencing the joy and fullness of life that Christ wants us to have.  Have you ever noticed that a place which is joyful and growing is a place where every part of the body is functioning well and doing its part without complaint or concern?  You find that  when you are free in Christ there are never any problems; just challenges in search of solutions.

When we are led by the Spirit of God, we are not looking for permission to take care of the things that are in front of us.  We consider the challenges that we face a joy because God has counted us worthy of finding the solutions and furthering his purpose by putting legs and hands and hearts to the freedom we have in Him.  Chapter 5 of Galatians closes with the fact that we are no longer bound by the law but can supersede the law by showing fruit in our lives: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness,  Faithfulness and Self-control. 

 

You now have permission to Rock the World with your Freedom in Christ.  No challenge will be too large for you to face with Christ at your side!

Go and Be Fruitful!
