FREEDOM IN CHRIST


Revelation 12:10 “Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: ‘Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.’”

One of Satan’s weapons is accusation. He accuses us day and night before God. We must silence the accuser and rid him from our lives. Freedom in Christ isn’t cheap. The cost is our time, commitment, and perseverance in knocking down our walls. 

Jericho is the perfect example of what God thinks when we put our walls up.  God says, “March around this thing six times and don’t say a word. Just blow the trumpets. Then on the 7th day, walk around it, blow the trumpets, and shout!” God brought down the walls, and He can bring down yours as well. 

If you’ve been walking around with things that keep you separated from God, separated from others, even separated from yourself (hating yourself), it’s time to blow the trumpets and shout! Let that thing you’ve been holding onto come down! What is our trumpet? Recognition and Repentance. What is our shout? Renouncing and Removing. James 4:7 says,” Submit yourselves, then, to God (REPENT). Resist the devil (RENOUNCE), and he will flee from you (REMOVE).”

Have you been unable to get past unforgiveness, holding onto an offense, anger, fear, insecurity, not liking or even hating yourself? Recognize it. Repent for it. Renounce it—say, “I reject this thought, this behavior, this attitude, this habit. I disown it.” Repeat an appropriate scripture: “God has not given [me] a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV). Remove it—say, “Spirit of fear, in the name of Jesus, GO!” “Spirit of anger, GO!” Don’t be nice, it’s not your friend! And then walk free.

When it tries to come back, because it will, JUST SAY NO!
