Read: Galatians
5:13-25
On the other side, there is freedom from powerlessness, oppression, and lack of control over our circumstances and our life.
In either context, we are caught in the midst of a raging war! The forces of darkness, this world, and our own brokenness, wages war against us. They make empty promises, that IF ONLY you do THIS or HAVE THAT, then you will be truly free! No one can TELL YOU WHAT TO DO!
But the reality is, these empty promises only lead us to being more entangled, shackled, and powerless! Our desire to control our own lives only leads to feeling OUT OF CONTROL.
By God’s grace, He has not left us alone to our own demise. He does not sit quietly by from His lofty throne in heaven watching up helplessly self destruct. For those who put their trust in the forgiving power of His blood bought love for us, He provide us a different way!
He gives us the POWER of His very own Spirit to live inside of us! As counter-intuitive as it may seem, if we allow ourselves to be LED by the SPIRIT, LIVE by the SPIRIT and KEEP IN STEP with the SPIRIT we are not restricted anymore by the law, and enjoy the FREEDOM to realize our true identity and destiny in Jesus Christ.
But the FRUIT of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control, against such things there is no law!
