A New Freedom

John 8:36 – “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

God longs to bring you into a new freedom. Jesus died so you could live in freedom.  The blood of Jesus purchased your freedom from the bondage and slavery of sin.  Sin enslaves, sin dominates, and sin destroys.  When Jesus went to the cross He redeemed us with His own blood from the slavery of sin.  Colossians 1:13-14 says, “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,” In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” 

There is power in the blood of Jesus to bring freedom. The blood redeems, washes, cleanses, liberates, and gives access.  Hebrews 10:19 reveals, “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.” Owen Walton writes, “A revelation of the blood of Jesus and what it has done for you will enable you to be free in your relationship with God, boldly coming to Him and enjoying His presence without any sense of guilt, inferiority or condemnation!”[1]

God is calling you into a new identity.  The children of Israel failed to enter into their promised inheritance because they saw the giants, the walls, and the enemy as bigger than God’s promises.  Listen to their words in Numbers 13:27-28, “Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.”

You will never realize your promised inheritance with the identity of a slave.  A study of the Scriptures will reveal you are opposed by the world, the flesh, and the devil.  We overcome the world through the blood of Jesus.  We put the flesh to death by faith, and you overcome the enemy in the name of Jesus.  Colossians 2:15 says, “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.”  Jesus gave you this encouraging promise in John 15:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

They Turned Back in the Day of Battle

Psalms 78:9 – “ “The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.”             Ephraim was the younger of two sons of Joseph.   His first born was Manasseh.   It was Ephraim that received the blessing of Jacob.   The tribe of Ephraim became the largest of the ten northern tribes of Israel.   Many times the Bible used the name Ephraim to represent the whole nation of Israel.             In verse 9 they are armed and carrying bows.   They are dressed, equipped, and ready to battle.   Yet we learn that they turned back in the day of battle.   The Bible identifies this as sin.   To turn back in the day of battle was displeasing to God.               To be armed meant that they were equipped with armor, a sword, and a shield. ...
