1 | are we free? | Rev 3:16 | kevinmal | 7802 | ||
Just opened my Bible at Galatians 5 and the heading is keep your freedom. It made me think are we really free here in the western world or is it we more like we like to think we are. It says that Christ made us free, I am really going for it with God and have found that there is a lot of opposition from those that said they wanted me to express how i feel about the vision that God laid on my heart. Why is it that people want to know what is precious to you and then turn round and try to destroy that vision.Is it that we are more concerned about controlling than we are about encouraging each other. I have found that as I have met other Chrisitian each Sunday as I look for a new place to worship. They are kind and loving, I just wonder if it will be the same if I settle in one place. Are we so afraid of what God is doing in each individual? I am so thankful that God loves us all. Thismorning just think about it. He loves you and me so much. That thought will carry me through every single day of my life. What a privilage it is to be part of His Kingdom and to be able to speak freely and openly about how I feel about His love and compassion. And how wonderful it is to feel the wonderful effect of His GRACE. Your Friend IN CHRIST Kevin |

First I would want to know what that vision is? Is it in accordance with God's word? Everything has to be judged according to that. If it is, then I would have to say there are always going to be people that try to take the joy of the Lord from you. Jesus wants us to be fanatical about Him. In Rev. 2:4, Jesus is rebuking a church because it had left it's "first love." Too many "Christians" have never felt the excitement and desire of a "first love" for Christ or they have become so "mature" that they think it should be tempered. Christ also says of those who are lukewarm "I will spew (vomit) you out of my mouth" in Rev. 3:16. Keep the excitement for the Lord. We are to be a people called apart and there will be those who try to mold us to what THEY expect. Keep studying the Word and remember, we follow what God says, and not man. Freedom is not an excuse for doing anything WE want, but for doing what God wants. | ||||||
