“It’s time for the pew to meet the pavement,” according to
our teacher for this series, Priscilla Shirer.
In the first session of video teaching, she promises indulgent and
delicious living for those who chase after Jesus and obey Him.
We are about to embark on a journey that will bring
deliverance from our shackles. Have you
placed your faith in Jesus Christ, freeing you from Satan’s control? Have you been freed from the places where sin
reigns? Or are you still going there and
doing that?
Christ has set us free!
And we are free indeed! Glory to
God!!! We are told in Galatians 5:1 that
our job is to keep standing firm, not allowing ourselves to be enslaved
again. Are you living this way? Me neither, but I want that to change. Do you?
Let’s get up now and leave our Egypt.
This first week of study brought tears and relief and new
outlooks. Hallelujah! We need to be honest with ourselves. God already knows the truth about us. We need to face that truth. Denial is a lie to ourselves and will keep us
in a state of bondage.
We must retrain ourselves to walk in freedom. How?
Great question! Here are some
ideas: love God lavishly, forgive others
and yourself, spend time ministering to others, love others with reckless
abandon, pray often, test everything against God’s Word, start your day with
Jesus – first thing, question what the world calls the truth, memorize
Scripture. We can’t give up on really
experiencing God!
It’s important that we know our triggers: what the devil uses to make sin appealing to
us. But I caution you to not spend a
whole lot of time studying the enemy of our souls. Our time is much better spent getting to know
Christ and His ways. Then, when the
enemy presents us with a lie disguised as the truth, we’ll know because we’ll
know Jesus well enough to recognize an imitation. We need to feast on Christ! He is our manna. Partake regularly.
