Embrace the freedom given to you when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior. You're free, no longer a slave to sin-emancipated; Jesus took it all... past, present & future the day He went to the cross for you! Stand firm, renew your mind with the truth in the Word...you are free! You may not feel free, but that doesn't negate God's truth that you are free. Your feelings don't change God's truth...but God's truth will change the way you feel. God's truth gets you back on point, but if you entertain lies, you will be defeated. Know your weaknesses-the enemy does. You will be attacked by him in your weak areas-because it works. But don't fret, because Jesus promises His power is made perfect in your weakness!
God doesn't invite you to be saved then have you jump through hoops to figure out how to follow Him. He gives you the desire & power to follow Him then He continues the good work He started in you long ago until the day you go to Heaven! Trust Him with all your heart & seek Him in all your ways, don't entertain reasoning-He will make your path straight even when it looks very crooked & your feelings scream there's no way. Just continue to walk by faith-not sight.
Don't impose your own set of rules for being good enough to receive God's love, one you can't add to what He says is truth, but two you're opposing His truth by reasoning. Focus on the truth, not what you feel-Jesus made you right when He went to the cross...there's nothing you can add to this truth. Reasoning opens the door to doubt & doubt will rob you of God's plans. Throw off anything that hinders you or sin that binds you from seeing what God sees for you.
Your relationship with Him is first...above everything-guard it, treasure it; for it sustains you & gives you the desires of your heart! Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus-He's made a way for you. Emancipate, liberate & celebrate...you are free- so live like it!!! (Gal 5:1, Rom 12:2, 2 Cor 12:9, Phil 2:13, 2 Cor 5:17, Phil 2:13, Pr 3:5-6, Pr 4:23, Heb 12:1-2) 1/8/14LMM #CIFL
