THE PRICE OF FREEDOM

in #steemchurch6 years ago (edited)

Something that I would like to ask: Do you feel a free person? Clear; first perhaps we should change some ideas about what you and I interpret as Freedom. It is such a broad word, so used by poetry in our culture, that it would not be strange that it does not mean a similar thing for everyone as a whole.

We know, and perhaps we could have expressed it hundreds of times, that the opposite of Freedom is slavery. That is the global meaning of the term and that is how we understand it. However, the inmate of a prison unit, of a penitentiary, of a prison, can not be considered a slave. However, he has lost his freedom. In any case, what is is controlled. I want to talk about this. I want to refer to this. Not to the prisoners who behind bars experience the sensation and the direct certainty of the loss of freedom, but of the others; of all those who feel free and even declaring it, however, are controlled by something or someone, to the point of not owning their actions.

Heaven has paid a great price for our freedom.

A. Christ left heaven and came to Earth to set us free (Matthew 20:28, Luke 4:18).

B. We have not been redeemed with gold or silver, but with the precious blood of Christ (1 Peter 1: 18-19, see Numbers 3: 44-48).

I refer to this type of freedom and it is the true freedom of our soul, when we are free from thematic ties, then the other areas are also free.

The children of God, we can not remain a slave of any system, because we deny the sacrifice of the cross of Jesus. That freedom is in our hearts.

There are people who live in captivity, for other people, subject to the unscrupulous wickedness of someone who oppresses without measure, just because they do not have the courage to end this type of prison. I know women who have lost their freedom when marrying wrong people that they have cut off their dreams, their wings, they have diverted it from its purpose and have made it its victims.


One of the miracles that Jesus did was that of a woman who was bent over, all the illnesses have a spiritual origin, also the bible says that for 18 years she had that evil, which leads us to imagine the age that this woman could have had: 20, 45, 66 years, in short, speaks of the time of evil but does not say that he was born with him, that is, was created healthy and perfect but at some point in his life he faced a circumstance that began to distort Yes, she could do nothing.

With a deteriorated image ... and victim of her hump, ... feeling ugly, ... not accepted, ... with pain in her heart for being in that situation ... how many women are not like that today?

It was only when Christ entered the scene that this woman was free ..., says that "when Jesus saw her, he called her and said: Woman you are free of your illness", He is the balm that heals all the wounds ... He is the Liberator par excellence ... says John 8:32 that "we will know the truth and the truth will set us free". He is the truth, with Him it was that this woman had an encounter and everything changed; his mind changed ... his heart was filled with gratitude, that's why he changed his language and glorified God ... he changed his position, he stopped being stooped ... he says he straightened up right away.


You can close your eyes now ... and listen to what the Lord says to you: (place your name)

"But you are my servant; you ________, whom I chose, offspring of Abraham.
Because I took you from the ends of the earth, from distant lands I called you and I said to you: My servant is you, I chose you and I did not reject you. Do not fear because I am with you; do not be dismayed, because I am your God that I make you effort; I will always help you, I will always support you with the right hand of my justice. Behold, all who are angry with you will be ashamed and confused; they will be like nothing and those who contend with you will perish. You will seek those who have a dispute with you and you will not find it; they will be like nothing, as something that does not exist those who waged war against you. For I am Jehovah your God, who holds you by the right hand and says to you: Do not fear, I help you. "

We must open our eyes now ... we have the last word ... you know, everything in life is a matter of decision ... that we can decide ... determine ... that, we will do.

No matter what we have to give in exchange for our freedom, God has called us to peace. to live in love, in joy, and there will always be an opportunity for those who believe him.

Jesus calls us ... He is more than a friend ... it is more than everything our heart and heart can express ... His love and grace never fail ... his merciful touch always heals ... He is the one who can bring joy and joy to our soul

FREEDOM, today I value the freedom that I have when reading this beautiful teaching of our Apostle Darlenys. These phrases are profound:

"The children of God, we can not continue to be slaves of any system, because we deny the sacrifice of the cross of Jesus, that freedom is in our hearts."

Beautiful logo at the end, mother of crowds and life builder. I love those concepts.

Thank you for commenting my dear @kristal01, this message I dedicate to you my beloved warriors of SteemChurch, who are every day, giving the best for their families and for God.

Amén dear sister

As always much truth in your message as it is the message of the Bible. I have met inmates that were actually more free than the people outside, all because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Praying for God’s beloved Venezuela and for you my precious sister!
Blessings!

Thank you Daddy William, I felt abandoned ... I missed you here.

You always have me and even better, Jesus. Far apart, but still working the harvest together. Perhaps we will work side by side some day.
Que Dios te bendoga! Ahora y siempre!

As you say dear sister Darlenys: Freedom always costs sacrifice! We are children of a great Liberator and in the crusade for Liberty, we will achieve great feats. Beautiful message

Freedom is the most beautiful thing that a human being has, to be able to choose and make your own decisions, go and come wherever you want, but this kind of freedom, contrary can lead you to spiritual slavery, therefore we have decided to let to our lives to Jesus Christ and recognize him as the liberator of our lives and thus have the balance we need. thanks @darlenys01 for this message.

We are liberated from the moment we know the truth of Christ, the truth of life and death, the truth of the way and the wide width, the liberty we have in knowing whether to do good or evil, but we are free to love God over everything, knowing the magnitude of his presence and greatness. Amen Darlenys that detailed article.

Thank you I give to God for allowing me to know him since then, despite any circumstance I am free. I pray that this blessing will be extended to my family and to all who still do not know the Lord. Blessings

We live in our country where freedom in every sense of the citizen is being lost every day. That can not be denied. Therefore, it is important to try to understand what freedom is in Christ. Since the politicians have trite so much the term freedom, that have contributed to that the human being does not understand it and therefore we do to God to find true and lasting peace.
God bless you beautiful Message @darlenys01

Keep blessing the community dear sister

Thanks Apostol @Darlenys it is really exciting for me to wait day after day to read your teachings because I know that they are edifying and go to the depths of our spirit to help us in any situation that we are going through. May God continue to bless your life more and more. .

Deep message and revealing apostle Darlenys, it's good to read your messages. They always go straight to the heart.
