HOW FREE ARE WE?
He Whom The Son Sets
Free, IS Free Indeed. - John 8:36
We have just
celebrated the death and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. It was all just as He had said to
His disciples. It was so very hard for
them to comprehend, because, in the natural thinking, once you were dead, that was
the end of it. The human brain doesn't
understand the supernaturalism of Christ.
There were so many
people who had a real dislike for Jesus, and what He stood for, and
taught. No man had ever spoken like this
man before, nor had any man ever done the things He did before, so, it was only
natural that they, His despisers, would want Him out of the way. That's the way it is with the enemy of our
soul. Satan doesn't have any like for us, because he knows that with God on our
side, he fights a losing battle.
Of course, there was
great shock and grief when the women went to the tomb and found the stone
rolled away, and the tomb empty. To the mockers, the attitude was, "Good.
He's out of the way, now we can get on with our routine, and under the
leadership of our king".
Do you realize,
folks, that there are great giants in the land, sent out by satan himself, to
intimidate you with all kinds of things, often fooling you, and tricking you
into believing that you are worthless, and not who you thought you were? That all the time you have been believing in
a God who never shows you He cares, never answers your prayer, or never removes
the struggles from you, so that you can really live?
Many Christians
today, fall deeply for that deception. And what do they do? They place themselves into their own man made
tomb, and allow a huge stone to be rolled over the entrance, and go into a deep
Pity party. They get depressed, they get
sick, and just give up. In the darkness
of the tomb, they can have a care-free time, so they think.
Do you know what the
Spirit showed me?
What we need, is an
UPPER ROOM experience. In the darkness of
your tomb, you can have an upper room experience, because there are no barriers
or walls, that can keep the presence of the Lord from entering into your midst.
You remember the
Upper room. They were assembled there,
when something unusually wonderful happened.
When the Presence of the Lord is in your midst, wonderful things happen,
but they had to be in accord, not only with each other, but with the Spirit also.
Folks! Do you want to be resurrected from your tomb?
It is now time for you to place yourself, your doubts and fears, your negative
influences in the hands of the Lord, and let His presence fill your life anew
and afresh. If you do this, now, your
stone will be rolled away, and you will come forth as pure gold, full of new
power. It's not too late. You have been given power over all the power
of the enemy. Exercise it now.
God Bless You. I love you.
