MAINTAIN YOUR FREEDOM II
Memorise:
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. .. Psalm 107:20
Read:
2 Corinthians 3:16-18
Message
The devil is a thief, so when he visits a person or family, his agenda is to steal, kill, and destroy. Unlike the devil, Jesus has come so that you can enjoy abundant life (John 10:10). Today, I want to share some more ways a person who has been delivered from the devil's bondage can maintain his or her freedom and truly enjoy the abundant life that Jesus gives.
It is sad when someone who has been delivered by the mighty hand of God loses his or her liberty because of ignorance, carelessness, or foolishness. People perish when there is no knowledge (Hosea 4:6). They lose what they have received when they don't apply the divine principles that are required to sustain it. The Son sets free, and whoever the Son makes free is free indeed (John 8:36). God doesn't give temporary deliverance; He gives total freedom, but a fellow who has been set free must learn how to walk on the road of freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17 says that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Wherever the devil may be operating in, when the Spirit of the Lord comes on the scene, freedom comes. To sustain your freedom, however, you must allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in all you do. Let Him be Lord of your thoughts, words, and actions. Where He is Lord, no demon can thrive.
Knowing the truth is another way to maintain your liberty. John 8:32 says that you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Do you know the truth about Jesus' payment for your freedom? Are you walking in this truth? To keep walking in freedom, you must know the truth in God's word and immerse yourself in it so that it fills your heart. His word is the truth, and when you know the truth, it will make you free. This word must become your daily bread. Joshua 1:8 reveals that a major key to having good success in life is meditating on God's word day and night. To keep the devil perpetually out of your life, let God's word dwell in you richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16).
Job spoke about how highly he esteemed the word of God in Job 23:12. Beloved, how important is God's word to you? How highly do you esteem God's instructions and directions? If you want to sustain the liberty you have received from God, you must allow Jesus Christ to be your Lord and place topmost priority on God's word.
