Living Free....

There are so many outside influences that threaten the freedom and liberty that we have in Christ. It's not so much that they can take us away from His care, or cause our ability to live free to cease, but they can lure us away from His cover. When we are drawn away by our own lusts and enticed, it is possible for us to lose out on the peace and joy that is found in God's presence. Remember, the peace and joy of the Lord never dies or is ever made inaccessible to us. It's just that in order to have it, know it and live in it we must stay close to God. Whatever it is that temps us, and or causes our eyes to be distracted and lose focus must be destroyed in our lives. Your ability to handle temptation for a moment does not prove your ability to endure it for a minute. Refuse to play in that playground because ultimately temptations do not play fair. They are meant to bring eternal harm to you and your life. The pleasures of the flesh are temporal and only masquerade as everlasting joys. The result of these carnal delights can indeed produce eternal results, but joy is nowhere seen in the future. Start now to build walls that separate you from these areas of your life that cause you to give in to sin. It is your life, and eternal destiny that is at stake here. Your soul is not worth it friend. Start to rebuild the walls of spiritual devotional, prayer, fasting, and worship. It is not too late, but it is necessary now. Living free was always God's plan for our lives. Let's be all that He made us to be.
