One of my favorite movies of all times is the movie Braveheart. This movie is all about freedom and the quest for freedom by an entire group of people who have been in subjection to a king from a foreign land. They go to great lengths and fight many battles to achieve the freedom that they so long for in their own lives and in the lives of our children.
The word says that Jesus came to set us free and whom the Son has set free is free indeed. But what does that freedom look like to you? To me it is a freedom from fear..the freedom to know that my eternal soul is secure in the hands of my God. That my Abba, my Daddy, cares for me as His precious child and He will never leave me or forsake me and so in that I am free to live a life of trust. I can trust that He holds me in the palm of His hand and He will never leave me or forsake me. Jesus took captivity captive and loosed the bands of wickedness from our lives.
There is joy in freedom. We are not chained to our destiny. Rather we are free to run in the freedom that our destiny brings.
There is power in freedom. We receive power from on high as the Holy Spirit comes to indwell our lives and we receive the freedom of the giftings of God.
There is peace in freedom. We understand that we do not need to strive for salvation, that the price was paid on Calvary and so there is a tremendous peace in freedom!
There is no sorrow in freedom. The freed one does not long for his captivity any longer... sorrow is not attached to our freedom.
Today as you begin to think about your freedom and your joy and power and peace, think about those still in bondage that have not heard the good news of Jesus... Now go and bring the good news and help set some captives free! In Jesus name!
