Freedom

Hello everyone.
In my weakness, He is strong. Paul the apostle wrote this in one of his letters. He was in prison, I assume, since most of his letters were written from prison. I know how he felt, not going anywhere. If I listen to the devil, I am in prison right here in my living room. Thank God for the word of God that makes me free! John 8:32 says that the truth makes me, and you, free.
What is imprisoning you? Is it lack of strength, health, money, or maybe lack of a bigger vision for your part of the Great commission? You need all four to head toward total freedom. Some days I can see myself impacting thousands for the kingdom. Other days I can barely see myself breathing without a machine or eating through my mouth again. Does God’s word change when my vision fails? Romans 3 says would our lack of faith make God unfaithful? Not even! Somewhere in Numbers the bible says that not one word has failed of all God’s promise. Freedom is ours! ‘stand fast therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ has set you free’. (Galatians 5:1)
Those hard days are not failures; rather, they are opportunities to exercise your faith. It’s on those days that you can force yourself to be diligent like proverbs 4:20-23 encourages us.
20My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
I love you all. Keep your heart, vision and freedom!
healed by His stripes,
Nancy
