WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: BREAKING FREE

Yesterday, I talked to you about being oppressed and how Christians should not participate in things that this world promotes. Another thing that has become popular and I have noticed it worked into several television shows lately. They say burning sage cleanses the room or home of evil spirits, but it is quite the opposite, it actually attracts the enemy. I am sure by now some of you think that I have lost my mind and that is fine. It is easier to pretend evil doesn’t exist.

We no longer have the luxury of burying our heads in the sand and pretending all is well. Evil is all around us, it is time we take a stand. It is time we take back our territory.

We allow the enemy to get a stronghold in our lives. Then we are caught in a dilemma, we face a lot of struggles because of the stronghold. But the enemy can only keep us bound as long as we let him. We have the power at any time to walk away. But it takes prayer and a great show of strength. We have to fight for our freedom from his bondage.

Making the choice is not easy. If it were easy, it would not be a prison. But Jesus is waiting for us to ask him to set us free. He knows when we really mean it and when we are just playing with the enemy. The word says if we resist the devil he will flee. We just have to choose to resist and ask to be set free.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Jesus came to set us free in every way possible. All we have to do is release it to him. Which is easy and hard at the same time. This is why the word says that the flesh wars with the spirit. Our spirit is ready to be free, but our flesh is holding onto whatever the enemy is using to bind us up. Again, all it takes is for us to release that thing that is binding us up, to Jesus.

Col 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Paul was telling the church to not handle, taste or touch the unclean thing that came from commandments and doctrines of men. The Pharisees did all sorts of evil in the name of doing good. Paul didn’t want the church to get caught up in man’s doctrines and the things of the flesh. We are to not handle, taste or touch sin, even in the name of good works.

Again today I remind you of the questions we should all be asking, How close can I get to Jesus? The closer we walk to him the less likely we will be to fall into things that cause us to get snared by our enemy.

But never forget, that we are human, and if you find yourself caught in a snare, stop, the more you struggle the tighter the grip of the enemy. Make up your mind to let go even if you don’t want to, then ask God to break you free.

Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

Have hope, be encouraged, God will give you strength. But we must fully yield and fully trust in him. If you are on the side of the Lord, you will never lose. God wins and satan always loses. As Tim Sheets says, He is the forever loser. You can be set free, the choice is yours.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
