John 8:36 “if the Son sets you free you will be free indeed’
The question is do you feel free, or do you feel trapped?
Is what is apparently a mark of your ‘freedom’ actually trapping you? Caught in a cycle of screw ups, let downs, dissapointments and regrets? – Free? I’m not so sure.
Recently I’ve noticed and been thinking about how, often when I make a bad choice and go with my own desires rather than what will praise God, instead of feeling ‘free’ in my ability to do whatever I want, I actually feel more trapped. I don’t know if you know the feeling of attempting to put back on the chains that Jesus has already removed from us, but its anything but liberating.
Ask yourself today if you feel free or trapped.

Take encouragement from this Hebrews 10 15 – 18
” The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says
This is the covenant I will make with them after that time says the Lord I will put my laws in their hearts and i will write them on their minds. Then he adds
Their SINS and LAWLESS ACTS I will remember no more
And where these have been forgiven there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
Jesus paid the price for our sin ” ONCE for ALL “”
“Therefore There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” ( Romans 8 v 1), for our sins have been separated from us as far as the East is from the West.
Don’t let the Devil pull you down by allowing sin to hold you down. Its power is broken in the believers life. The right response to sinfulness is “Confess our sins for he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins” 1 John 1 v 9
Comment by Big Colesy April 21, 2007 @ 5:14 pmand echo Paul when he wrote
” For sin shall no be your master because you are not under law but under grace” Romans 6 v 14
Turn that into a prayer and live in its power
