NO LONGER CHAINED!

---

We are no longer chained! We can now live free in and through the Word of God! In case you may be wondering what I mean when I say “chained,” I am referring to the spirit of religion. Ever find yourself or someone else quoting scriptures, but still, there is no evidence of life in what is quoted? That’s religion. Religion goes through the motions but there is nothing to back it up. You will never find a religious person to genuinely help you. They will either offer to help you and never follow through or they will help you, only to talk about it to anyone who will listen. You will never encounter God’s Love in religion.

I recently have been seeing the scene from The Passion of the Christ, when the Roman soldiers came to get Yeshua (Jesus) to crucify Him. The Pharisees, all high and lifted up, were relentless in their pursuit to use the law (religion) against Yeshua. How dare they attempt to use the Word to enslave Him? I am reminded of how once they got Yeshua that night in the Garden, they chained Him. They had their noses so far stuck up in the air that the only time it came down was if someone was underneath it. Big mistake to think they could ever have the Son of the Living God underneath them, much less chain Him down. How can you chain freedom? The Living Word will never be chained! This is why we must come out of the chains that religion has placed us in. In order to experience freedom, we have to surrender ourselves to this predesigned place of freedom in the Father He has had for us since the beginning. We never knew about this place because the first attack from the enemy was religion and pride – structured, stiff, no life, and no love.

Our Heavenly Father has and always will make a way of escape for us to be freed from lackluster “No Love” environments, bondages, and temptations with which we struggle. All we must do is come to Him, with our whole hearts. Religion never will. Religion will beat you down to bleed the life out of you with the rules and traditions of men to keep this false image of who you are not until you are dead. No one has ever been able to keep religion and live.

“The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10 NASB

“So if the Son sets you free you will be free indeed.” – John 8:38 NIV

I want to encourage you today to come out from among them! Sadly, I am not just speaking of the world but I am speaking of religion as these two go hand in hand. Seriously, you can’t tell them apart! You have to be vigilant in asking the Father to open your eyes and ears so you may see what He wants you to see. I am as excited and thankful as you to be in the Company of the King in this hour, especially with what is happening in the world. Right in the midst of everything that is going on, it is in these times of tribulation that God will strengthen us to not only say goodbye to religion and live free, but He will cause us to triumph over and through all adversity!

IT’S TIME TO GET FREE TO FIGHT!
