Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Freedom! This word may evoke thoughts of a rally cry, a call for justice, or a march for independence. But I offer freedom of a different sort: freedom for your mind, soul and spirit. Freedom from the yoke of slavery to sin and despair. Release from the consequences of sin and death. I give you Life and give it in abundance. I, Jesus, your Savior and Redeemer, have set you free by My obedience on the Cross. I died and rose again, so you could live in freedom, and learn to walk in My ways. It is a high calling to live free: released from the shackles of the past, free from the bondage of doubt and fear, set free from the hopelessness that permeates worldly thinking. Be free in Me; be free to be all I have called you to be. Be assured that I am Your Freedom.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 NIV
