Being Set Free

Being Set Free – What does that really mean?

Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!

Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. – John 8:35-37, New International Version (NIV)

This indicates that you must first move from the position of slave (to sin and all that’s holding you back) to a position of sonship, taking your rightful place in the family of God.

This happens through the process known as being born again. Your spiritual nature is reborn and comes alive. It is a higher nature that rules over your natural desires. It connects you with God’s laws of life that sustain you and bring you much good fruit in life. Your spiritual nature considers all the holistic parts of you – emotional, physical, mental, soul & spirit – and sees the best path to take to love, peace and joy.

In your growing spiritual life your perspective is broadened. It no longer operates from a selfish or self-centered perspective as a child. You are filled up with God’s love that can meet all those needs. So you can be free to think and act from an outward view – looking out for others and seeking to bring life and blessings to them, as you have been blessed.

That leads to discipleship as you get to know God and how he has set up life to best be lived in abundance.

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” – John 8:31-33, New International Version (NIV)

God becomes your teacher through his Holy Spirit in you, guiding you into all Truth.

Sometimes you can be set free, but then get caught up in different traps, addictive behaviors or situations that keep you stuck and frustrated, often in a seemingly endless loop.

So how do you then break free again? That is my purpose here – to give you insights from a different perspective, to encourage and inform, to remind and enlighten you, and to inspire you to know you are not alone in your challenges in life!

Why am I so passionate about helping set you free from the blocks to living a joy-filled, inspired and purposeful life?

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.              – Isaiah 61:1-3 (NIV)

Do you believe God wants to bless you?

God your Creator and your Heavenly Father has a life of joy and abundance in store for you. He wants to fill up your soul and spirit through the everyday twists and turns of your life with his goodness and love. That’s how we get to know God and restore that amazing and intimate relationship with him – through seeing him at work in the happenings of our everyday life.

Open your heart and take a chance to expand your capacity to receive all the love, the joy, the peace and the blessings God has in store for you – you only need to say “Yes! I am ready to receive everything you’ve got for me, Father God!” 

Now Walk in your Blessings Every Day!
