36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

 

John 8:36 (AMP)

36 So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free.

 

 

Reflections:

 

Is there fear in freedom? Most certainly! � Why? Because we fear being judged for our actions and are afraid we might do or say something wrong and/or not fit in. 

 

Many a long term prison inmate that has been set free will commit a crime just to be able to return to the security of the prison to which that have become so accustomed. 

 

One of the beauties of becoming a Christian is that we are not only set free from the bondage of sin and death, but we are given the overcoming power of the Holy Spirit so that �we can do all things in Christ who strengthens us (Phill 4:13).� Even with this (the overcoming power of the Holy Spirit) there is a choice set before us. 

 

We must choose like the little bird in a cage, whose owner has left the door wide open, whether or not we will fly free or stay incarcerated -- in a self-inflicted prison of fear.

  

I personally was delivered from insecurity and fear as a very young Christian. I simply hid myself in Christ and received, as a gift of grace, a new boldness and strength for my life. But even with that life has been an oft �gentle journey� over an egg-shell terrain where I have lingered oft at the edge of something new. 

 

Thank God he has always moved me on and caused me to overcome. For this I am most grateful. Come-on now, if He�ll do it for me, I know he�ll do it for you. Jesus has set an opened door before us all � It�s time to pass through the portals of fear and � fly free beloved � fly free!!!
