SPEAKING OF FREEDOM

KATHY—Speaking of FREEDOM…   John 8:32  “You will know the truth, and THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE.”  We need truth that sets us free to be, free to be what we were born to be so that our lives glorify our God.  We must come to freedom that gets us past some old limitations, dead ends and road blocks and cycles in our lives.


Truth and Freedom

Kathy — John 8:32 tells us, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  This scripture shows us there is an undeniable link between truth and ManHoldPapers.jpegfreedom. If the mind, will and emotions do not anchor in truth, people can be taken captive by darkness.  Darkened souls distort the concept of freedom into extremes of entitlement and doing as they please.  Darkened minds are deceived into believing freedom means unrestrained, unaccountable and anti-establishment, and the outcome is destructive chaos and captivity, (as is vividly demonstrated in our nation at the moment).  When our forefathers declared their intent to be a self-governing and self-reliant nation with freedom and justice for all, they started with these four words:  “We hold these truths . . .”  Knowing truth is a basic essential for genuine freedom. 


Call and God Will Show

Let’s not limit calling on God for great and mighty answers to things we need only. If He says I’ll “show you great and mighty things” why in the world would we not call on Him on a daily basis to see what awesomeness He has in store for the here and now? The requirement for asking such things daily is to be in a dominion/heaven-on-earth state rather than a victimized one. A victimized state of mind keeps us stuck on “me, my, me”. The way out of victimhood is in truth because it has a tendency to set you free IF you know it by meditating on and living it (John 8:32). This is one of the main issues we face today because we have too much information, whether it be truth or a lie, at our fingertips every moment of every day. Easy access has become the demoralizer of an entitled culture. Yes, this applies to Christians as well.   (Fourth excerpt from Melissa Gabler’s article “Call on Him”.)
