I've never been physically bound, but I dislike closed spaces, which makes me feel claustrophobic. I consider that a kind of bind. Last year, I experienced a different kind of bind when my mental health was attacked by the enemy. In an instant, I struggled with suicidal attempts, depression, and fragmented thoughts.
Today, as I reflect on those moments, I understand freedom from the perspective of the Son of Man's liberty. We don't need to be war victims to experience bondage. Since we live in a spiritual world that transcends the physical, the enemy can claim access to our lives for various reasons.
However, God's Word clearly states, "Who the Son sets free is free indeed" (John 8:36). If Christ became bound on the cross so I can experience freedom, then I am grateful He is mine. The Son of Man has indeed set me free.
I've come to realize the extent of the enemy's tactics to keep us in darkness. The enemy doesn't stop because he's exhausted but because he has left us lifeless. He imposes limitations on our marriages, finances, children, jobs, health, careers, and businesses.
But today, we say no more. We claim our authority and declare, "We are the authority here." We acknowledge the enemy's limitations and strategies, but we see God, who has declared us free.
My friend, here's God's reminder to you: whom God has set free is free indeed. Insist on your liberty today. I am free indeed, in Christ I am free.
Stay Revived!
