True Freedom

“So if the Son makes you free, you are really free.” John 8:36 ERV
“Freedom- the condition or being free; power to act, speak or think without externally imposed restraints. Being free is to be able to act at will, not hampered, not under compulsion.”
Ever been angry to someone? Ever been offended by someone? Ever been angry at your boss at work that the moment you hear his/her voice, your internal systems starts to boil. Ever been accused of something you did not do and the moment you start remembering the details, it makes you feel down and depressed? Ever been told that you are not good enough and every time you do something, you doubt yourself. Ever done something horrible and you had been keeping it a secret in your entire life? Ever felt guilty that one day back in your younger days you made a “snap judgment” that destroyed a friend’s image or reputation. Ever had spoken a word that had to be kept inside yourself but because you we’re emotional, you said it anyway. Ever been betrayed by someone you dearly loved? Ever betray ed someone’s trust and you did something that you are not supposed to.
Ok, you get the point…
All those examples produces a state of bondage – the state of being under control of a force, influence or abstract power.
I never knew or felt that I did not have freedom until I gave my life to Christ. For some “unknown” reasons, when you say, Lord, “I believe in You”, something happens in the spirit realm. Think of an imaginary shackles in your hand and feet being removed and thrown away and someone telling you “you are free”.
It is hard to explain but when you start believing that Christ really went to the cross for us, you will see amazing things unfold in your life.
Experience true freedom.
