Living Free!

It was for this freedom that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]. GALATIANS 5:1 AMP

Truth Facts:
1. Is the life of God birthed in you? Do you understand the demands, responsibilities and limitations of that life that has been birthed in you? God calls us into the freedom that only faith in Christ can guarantee, but we are reminded that is is possible to once again be held to slavery.

2. It is key to know and accept that Christ is the ONLY recommended and approved source of freedom. Nothing else will give you peace or give you the freedom that you desire. John could testify that he had seen all sorts of lives in his day, some living as they pleased while others lived as the devil directed. The fruits of their lives must have led him to declare that: So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free. JHN 8:36 AMP.

3. In living free, please note that license is not given to live as we please, but as the giver of the freedom pleases. At no time are we free from the control of someone: you are either directed by God or the devil. You cannot sit on the fence on this one. Standing firm must be in the freedom given by God, not in the freedom declared by man- reckless, direction-less and dangerous.

4. It is possible to be made free yet subject oneself to slavery. I was called out from slavery to sin, self and Satan into Sonship. I was called into a new order, but if I do not allow God to work on me continually, I may end up surrendering my life to the control and direction of rules, forgetting that God has called me into a relationship with him. There are rules in relationships, but God places more stock on me as an individual than on simply being bound by rules. I must not get stuck on process, procedure and principles and forget that God's purpose for me is a daily walk of love and eternal life at the end of this present life. His time of favour is here.
