Jesus has given us great freedom in His sacrifice to come out of the bondage of sin, however, like any soldier who’s been a prisoner of war we must let go of the old prisoner habits that we acquired in bondage. That requires a renewing of the mind that we are no longer in prison. We don’t have to fear the taskmaster. We don’t have to hoarder or ration our food. We don’t have to walk with small steps slumped over looking down at the bondage like we did with chains on our neck, wrists, and ankles. We have been given freedom! Stand tall, look forward, climb mountains, be generous, eat the goodness of Yahweh to the fullness He gives us! There is no taskmaster waiting to beat us, but rather a Friend and Daddy to come beside us and guide us through His victory! Remember who you are in Jesus this day of celebrating freedom, and remember what once commanded you to sin, no longer has the place of dictatorship over you for you to obey it. You are freed in Jesus’ name! Amen! Happy Independence Day!🇺🇸🎇🎆🙏✝️
