Just some thoughts I had on Freedom in Christ......

We are free in Christ as soon as we accept Christ (If the Son sets you free you are free indeed) but we function in our habits. We don’t live free because we do the same things that we did before we were saved (and after) to cope with the strongholds in our lives. When our “stuff” comes up…or stress builds….we run to the formed habit instead of running to the Father and waiting….we give in cause it “seems” easier….but in the end it leads to more feelings of “uncleaness” and guilt. We don’t fully know who we are in Christ so we listen to our “previously recorded tape” and to satan. This causes us to not live in the freedom Christ purchased on the cross. God calls us saints and holy ones. Freedom lies in Believing and knowing God….and then knowing that we are Who God says We are.

Satan wants the clean to feel unclean in hopes that we act unclean. (Beth Moore)

    Kristi!
    I missed you - and look...here you are!
    (how bittersweet is it to go to Church...on a Wednesday?)
    Thank you for posting! This really spoke to me today because I have been struggling - without really being aware of it, you know?
    It's only after giving in and compomising that Satan gets right in your face and laughs at you in his victory.
    Thank you for reminding me that he's full of crap and WE have the victory!

    I love you
    See you on Sunday!!
    -maybe even Saturday?
