FREEDOM!

My Husband and I just recently finished our Daniel Fast for 10 days. In that time God revealed many exciting things to both Harris and I. One thing that God is working on in my life is "Forgiveness." He is Revealing FORGIVENESS on a totally different level than I have ever understood before ... and it is GOOD!

Before I even Get into all of that... I have felt the Lord tugging on my heart to study FREEDOM in Him!

We all need to resolve personal and Spiritual conflicts in our life! We need to Break free from Bondage and Renew our mind! Let us Experience Daily Victory as a Child of God Daily!!

If you are experiencing any area of Bondage in your life... This Blog is going to help you pray for FREEDOM in your life!

I have been set free from so many things! I am so excited to come along side of you and encourage you to LET the LORD touch your heart!

Before I get started ... We must understand something ...

NO amount of effort on your part can save you and neither can religious activity no matter how well intentioned. We are saved by FAITH and by FAITH alone! All that remains for us to do is put our trust in the finished work of Christ. "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9)

To experience our Freedom in Christ and to Grow in the grace of God require repentance, which literally means a change of mind. Repentance is not something we can do on our own: Therefore, we need to submit to God and resist the devil (James 4:7)

The following blogs will help you Get that Freedom in Christ! Submitting to God is the Critical issue! He is the wonderful counselor and the one who grants repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 2:24-26)

I will be covering some issues between ourselves and God! Understand that we WILL NOT experience our freedom in Christ if we believe lies, fail to forgive others as we have been forgiven, live in rebellion, respond to pride, fail to acknowledge our sin and continue in the sin our ancestors, "He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes (renounces) them will find compassion. "Proverbs 28:13

Remember, you are a child of God and seated with Christ in the heavenlies. That means you have the authority and power to do His will. The steps don't set you free. Jesus sets you free, and you will progressively experience that freedom as you respond to Him in faith and repentance.

Our Pastor at NLCC says "We are ministers of Reconciliation" So let us Get firmly rooted in Christ and establish our Identity and Freedom in Him!

My Prayer For You:

Dear Heavenly Father, You are present in our current needs. You are all-knowing, all-powerful, and we worship You alone! We declare our dependency on You, for apart from you we can do nothing. We choose to believe your word which teaches that all authority in Heaven and on Earth belongs to the resurrected Christ! We have the authority to resist the devil and submit to You! Fill us with your holy spirit and guide us in your truth! We ask for your complete protection and guidance as we seek to know you and do your will!

In the name of Jesus ,We command Satan and all evil Spirits to release their hold on us in order for u to be free to know and choose to do the will of God.

We pray against any infliction or pain from preventing God's will from being done in our life today because WE belong to the LORD JESUS CHRIST! AMEN!

Blessings,
