Pastor James shared this AM on Maintaining Your Freedom, and the absolute need for believers to experience the full freedom that is only found in Jesus Christ. Most are familiar with the passage from John 8:36 about those the Son sets free, and how they are now fully free. Often not mentioned is the previous verses, where Jesus declares the need for His listeners to HOLD onto His teaching, and then they will be able to know the truth and that truth will set them free. One of the biggest problems with believers today is they will not remain IN God's Word. We think a verse here and there, occasional attendance at a service, and some now and then songs about Jesus get us where we need to be.....which for too many is in and out of struggles and discouragement and battles that they have already been delivered out of. Galatians 5:1: STAND fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free. Standing takes effort, endurance, and purpose on our part. You will NOT remain in freedom if you refuse to remain in the Word. You will struggle if you don't stay out of the garbage. You will struggle if you don't take control your mind (and perhaps even be delivered from some negative, pessimistic, dark and stinking thinking! Take heart, though, beloved.....HE is still setting captives free!!!
