Have you ever been arrested? I hope not but you have without doubt seen someone in hand cuffs. They are placed in those hand cuffs to restrict and restrain. There are those who are restricted but there are no visible hand cuffs that restrict then. It could be a hurt from way back that was never dealt with just covered up. Like that young lady who was raped yet she never dealt with it or that young boy who was sexually abused and never let anyone know. Their deepest darkest secret but may I remind you that our enemy knows and as long as we keep it hidden he will use it against us. You may have felt unloved by your parents or even your husband or wife. It matters not what it is we can get help and that help can be found in Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isaiah 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
Did you pay attention to what you just read? Three things will affect us when we come to freedom. The bands are loose; The Heavy Burdens are undone; Thy Health is better. Like the hand cuffs that keep us from being free our sins of yesterday have us bound and we are not free. Jesus told those Jews that believed on him these words
John8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
The key “continue” and what to continue in God’s Word when one does that they become a disciple (To teach; to train, or bring up) of Jesus Christ. If we train or learn in God’s Word what will be the results
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
We will know the truth and the truth will “MAKE YOU FREE.” That which had you bound, the burdens are undone and your health will improve. A young man told me on yesterday “my life was wrecked by cocaine but someone took the time and invited me to Church he said I didn’t want to go but that man just kept asking.” That man went and because of the love of one man now cocaine is now no part of that man’s life. If you walk into his home you will see Bible verses all over. You might say “that man has went off the deep end” my answer would be NO! That man has been “MADE FREE” simply because he continued in God’s Word. If we keep doing the same thing we have always done we will keep getting the same results. Go to Church this Sunday even if you don’t want to.
