Freedom in Jesus

 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

John 14:16, 17

 

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 16:13

 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Galatians 5:22, 23

 

17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 
18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:17-21

 

Jesus brings us the fruit of the Spirit, Satan binds us in the flesh.  When you have Jesus, there is love, joy, peace, and the like.  You are not bound by the slavery which Satan brings.  Jesus is the Source of the fruit of the Spirit which brings us internal peace and happiness.  Satan is the source of bitterness, hatred, envy, strife, and the like.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.    John 8:32

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.    John 14:6

If you want true freedom, Jesus will set you free.  He says in Matthew 7:7,8 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

You CAN BE FREE from ALL THE THINGS that BIND YOU AS A SLAVE.  FREEDOM in JESUS is within your reach.  All you have to do is ask for it, and follow the Spirit's leading, as He begins to change your life.  Be patient while He works in your life.  What you once loved to do as a slave, you will begin to hate.  What you once hated to do, you will now begin to love.  TRUE FREEDOM is AVAILABLE ONLY in JESUS.
