HE CAME TO SET THE CAPTIVE FREE!
The title is the beginning of a series I plan on sharing with you about how many times Jesus has set me free from the snares of the devil . Sometimes we get in snared because we keep going back to the same thing over and over again. Say for instance you are in a relationship that is clearly toxic for you and your children but fear overcomes by either fear of not having anyone else or by fear of what the spouse or partner might do to you. FEAR is false evidents appearing real(fear). Jesus came to set the captives free on the cross of Calvary fear was on Jesus when he was cusitified. When He cried out it is finished He meant He had conquered fear ,death,poverty,sickness anything that would hold you under the snares of the devil, another words YOU ARE FREE ! But we live in a society that dictates to us how we should think how we are should act and what we are to wear and what kind of car we drive and tells us if we are in anyway different then we are not excepted. We are even told if we are not a size 3 and look like barbie we have no worth in the world, but God tells us he so loved the world that He gave his Son . Jesus was sent here to give us freedom and to give it abundantly. We think the more things we have the happier we will be and Jesus tells us the more of Him we have the happier we will be . I have had both and to see the truth and the truth has set me free, the more time I spend in the stores buying things the more i want the bigger house I need and the cycle nerve's ends and all of sudden its all about me and my spoiled self and I'm not nice to anyone .Then the opposite happens to you and you look more like the world instead of Jesus, but the more time I spend with Jesus the more kinder I am the more giving I am and the Is become what do you want me to do for others Jesus. One is beauty of the world and the other is the beauty of Jesus Christ, freedom is being who God has called you to be and not dictated to what the world says you should be. There is freedom in being you weather you are too skinny or too fat ,beautiful or not, God made you special ,you have qualities and you have worth in the kingdom of God. God loves you like no other could and you are excepted in the beloved and you can be great in the kingdom of GOD all you have to do is be free in who God has made you. You don't have to try and be someone your not because you are beautiful in His sight. So leave this world and get into Jesus and be all He has called you to be . The world will ensnare you, and Jesus will set you free the choice is yours.
