So often we hear the words that Christ came to “set us free” and they fall on our ears like an old cliché. But what if freedom is more than going to church or a post we like on social media? What if freedom were our living and breathing reality? How differently would we experience our everyday lives? All too often freedom is something we believe in, but not something we live in.
For example:
The woman who struggles with shame from her past … is not walking in freedom.
The woman who lives in bondage to an eating disorder or self-hatred of any form …is not walking in freedom.
The woman who lives in fear … is not walking in freedom.
The woman who harbors unforgiveness towards someone … is not walking in freedom.
The woman who continues to fall into the same sinful pattern, over and over again … is not walking in freedom.
I can tell you one thing for sure, living this way is not God’s best for us. It is absolute bondage!
Friends, let’s never forget… Jesus came to set the captives free! Therefore, if any area of our lives is marked by defeat, bondage, or oppression then we aren’t living in the fullness that Christ has for us.
To Become Women of Freedom we must be…
Dependent upon His cross to cover our shame.
Dependent upon His healing touch for our wholeness.
Dependent upon His presence to calm our fears.
Dependent upon His power to overcome our enemy.
Dependent upon His truth to liberate our minds.
Freedom is found in knowing and resting upon the fact that Jesus is with us, for us, empowering us and defending us in every circumstance we face. It is found in dependence.
There is nothing we can do (in our own power) to bust down the doors of our prison cells. We require the power and presence of God to set us free. I want you to imagine yourself, right now, hand in hand with Jesus as He busts down the door of your prison and leads you out into freedom. Whether that prison is an addiction, a sinful pattern, an insecurity, or a bad relationship—Jesus really did come to deliver you!
Redeemed Girl, take His hand. You can’t do it on your own. Declare your dependence~ Let Him lead you out, as you rely upon Him every step of the way.
