FREEDOM!

Yes, FREEDOM! God is callilng us to FREEDOM! Who the Son has set FREE is FREE INDEED! Thats true freedom. When you experience all that God has for you and wants for you is true freedom. I desire to be FREE! I believe that we can be free, if we believe that it is not ourselves, but Christ in us (see Galatians 2:20). If Christ lives in us, and we walk after the Spirit, what can go wrong, unless we are controlled by our flesh (see Romans 8:9-11). Oh beloved, I desire to Walk in the Spirit and to be controlled by the Holy Spirit! I'm tired on my "self". Have you ever been here? Where whatever you do, just doesn't seem to go right. Have you ever been tired of yourself? The Christian walk is about dying to self and letting Christ live in us. We need to die so that he may live! I read a post on Beth Moore's blog yesterday that said 'When Jesus is all you have, Jesus is all you need'...I love that! Another posts reminded me that the cross wasn't pretty...No it wasn't but it surely brought FREEDOM! Hallejuah! That reminds me of the scripture in Romans 8:18 that says "Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later". Today I want to experience Christ in me like never before...I want to experience like the prophectic worshiper Jason Upton sings about "FREEDOM"...Love and Be loved, Shareese

Amen I want freedom like that too! Dying to our self daily can be a struggle. Oh, Beth said something in Stepping Up that convicted me-it was "if we are too busy waring with our flesh then we cannot even begin to do what God has called us to do." Wow. That is so true too. We have to chose to die to it. No room for anything else.

Thanks for entering my contest!
Much love,
