Christ came to set us free; free from a long list of laws and regulations; not free to do whatever we like because that would take us back to the slavery of our selfish desires.
But thanks to Christ, free to do what was previously impossible; to live selfless lives in the protection of Christ Jesus our Saviour.
We must stand against those who entangle us with rules, methods, or special conditions for being saved or growing in Christ. The truth is, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (ROMANS 10:9).
While it is good to attend church, joining together in worship and singing praises to our God, attending church each week will not save you, nor will any good works, practice or religion; salvation Is by faith alone, for we have all sinned and need Jesus spilled blood applied to our lives and God’s grace.
He is the ruling judge that will decide your eternal future.
He said , “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6 NKJV
Only by a personal relationship with Christ can you really get to know Him and truly believe. And like any relationship, that involves regular and personal conversation with Him.
Make time each day to speak to God privately and listen to what He has to say to you and take in His word, for His word is the bread of life (JOHN 6:35).
Jesus said, ““Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
Matthew 7:7-8 NKJV
Many believers today are held in captivity or bondage and are in need of deliverance.
The devil and his army of unclean spirits and demons are very real (EPHESIANS 6:12) and enter through sin, have managed to enter their bodies and like squatters, make their bodies their home.
Furthermore, they infiltrate their very souls( their mind, will, and emotions) and bring torment and misery.
They bring all kinds of sinful desires, confusion, fear, addictions, rage and anger, health issues, cancers, depression, and even suicidal thoughts (MARK 5:1-20; MATHEW 8:28-32).
That person has become demonised (possessed) and is in need of deliverance.
The demonic beings are spirit beings and have no body of their own to operate in this physical world, and their focus is yours and will if allowed move in and take possession of any vacant space.
They came to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, but Jesus came to give you life, that you may have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
Furthermore, these devils can be passed on through the generations by the sin of our ancestors, and therefore many are born demonised and cursed.
Are you hearing voices or having bad dreams? Are you caught up in repetitive sin or addiction? Are your relationships failing or are you struggling with finances? Are you going round and round in the same old roundabout of troubles and despair? Are you suffering from anger, rage, anxiety or depression, or having suicidal thoughts or have mental health issues? If so, you may need deliverance.
I encourage you to go to a ministry that is operating in deliverance and get set free. Thank God that we believers have authority through Christ over these unclean spirits to cast them out and set the captives free (LUKE 10:10).
That is freedom from the confusion they bring ; freedom to serve God and live in His righteousness; freedom to live joyfully and be prosperous; freedom to Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
Matthew 10:8 NKJV
But having been set free, one must stay free. Live right with God and invite Him to fill every vacant room with His holy Spirit, for Jesus said, ““When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.””
Matthew 12:43-45 NKJV
Therefore my beloved, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”
Galatians 5:1 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
