Day 9, January 11, 2021
This week’s theme: Return To God’s Work In Me
Today’s focus: Freedom from Bondage
I am content but not satisfied, I want more from Jesus
Galatians 5:1 (NIV)
5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Jesus not came to not only Forgive you but also to Free you!
You can get to a place in your Christian walk where you no longer have that yoke of bondage on you again.
What one thing in your life, if it wasn’t in your life, would make your life better?
Getting set free? Small groups, accountability but also this thought.
Luke 4:14-19 (NIV)
4 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[a]
There’s good news, that was proclaimed.
There was freedom, that was proclaimed.
There was healing, that was proclaimed.
They had these things, but they simply needed to proclaim it!
I have something and I haven’t simply said it’s mine. Proclaim it.
I am a child of God. I am set free from the Blood of Christ.
I am a man of God.
These truths exist in Jesus’ name.
Two things:
Identify the lie! Don’t buy into the lie.
John 8:44 (NIV)
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
That is not who we are. We have been bought with a price!

Replace the lie with the truth!
Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
We expose the lie and speak the truth.
