WHAT HAS IMPRISONED YOU?

FREE BEHIND THE BARS

Why are people still bond even when their prison doors have been opened wide?

This may seem like an unusual question, but isn't it just how we are in many areas of our lives?

Imagine a prisoner getting released after serving a 20 year sentence, his papers are signed for him to leave, they come to get him remove his shackles but yet his hands remain in the same position behind his back, his feet remains bent and his head hung.  He is beckoned to come forward but refuses to move.  When ask again to come he raises his eyes a little takes a step forward but immediately stops and regain his position.  Why do you think this is hard for him?

TODAY'S FOCUS:  WHY AREN'T YOUR FREE?

JESUS HAS COME THAT YOU MIGHT BE FREE!

YOUR PRISON DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED THE KEY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BUT....

LET'S DISCUSS:

• WHY DO YOU WALK AROUND DRAGGING YOUR CHAINS?
• WHY ARE YOU STILL BENT IN THE SAME POSITION AND YOU'RE FREE?
• WHY CAN'T YOU MOVE PAST THE GATES OF YOUR PRISON?
• WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK?

Today I ask that you think of the story and questions above and evaluate your life and honestly ask yourself....

AM I WALKING IN TOTAL FREEDOM IN EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE, THE WAY GOD WANTS ME TO, THE WAY HE HAS CALLED ME TO AND THE WAY I SHOULD BE? 

If you do not accept your freedom you will continue to carry the guilt of your shame, hurt, past etc...   You are not better off than the person who is enjoying liberty as a real prisoner behind bars.  

Galatians 5

King James Version (KJV)

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

FOR WHOM THE SON HAS SET FREE IS FREE INDEED! 

KEEP THE FAITH!
