Living Free

Living free, living free, living free . . . is that not the heart cry of humanity. All over this planet, people want to be free. It doesn't matter if they are in Iran, Japan or America. It is a fact: People want to be free!!!

Jesus said that you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. The ultimate freedom is spiritual freedom which only comes through the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus and in his testimony Paul quotes Jesus, the Risen Lord, as saying:

"I have appeared to you for this purpose...of sending you to the people . . . in order to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan unto God, in order that they may receive forgiveness of sins" Acts 26:18

It is not enough to be delivered out of something or to be delivered from something. God brought us out in order to bring us in. God is bringing us into something. Jesus said that if a person is delivered and they clean up their life, but do not fill their lives with the Spirit of God, then the demons will return and just bring their buddies and move back in and the person will be in even worse condition.

In other words, we have to keep moving on in God and keep on being filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

God has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His beloved Son. In other words, God did not just deliver us from darkness or the power of darkness. But he has translated us into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. We are to live and operate in that kingdom, the Kingdom of Christ. Then we will begin to know and experience what it is to live free.
