Time With Christ: 1 February 2015 Sunday, Daily Devotion - A New Beginning of Freedom

Topic: A New Beginning of Freedom (Sunday, January 1, 2015)

Memorize: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. - John 8:36

Read: (Exodus 15:13-17 KJV)

13Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

MESSAGE:
A new beginning of freedom can be viewed from different perspectives. It can be seen as the awareness of bondage, the rejection of labels and stigmas imposed by others, or deliverance from slavery and servitude. A new beginning of freedom can also refer to the elimination of former constraints, the dawn of a new day or the raising of the sun over darkness. However, since freedom denotes salvation or deliverance from oppression or bondage, a saviour or deliverer is required before freedom can be attained.

Many are in bondage without realising it. Long years of hardship have forced so many to accept suffering as normal. I pray that God will open your eyes to the reality of your situation in Jesus’ Name. Some people have been labelled and stigmatised by the enemy. Some of such people even enjoy and take pride of such labels. Today, your eyes will be opened, and you will reject all evil labels and stigmas upon your life in the Name of Jesus. Some people are remotely controlled, constrained or enslaved by unseen higher powers, to do things that are contrary to the commandants of God and their own wellbeing. I decree that God will deliver you all bondage and give you a new beginning of freedom today in Jesus’ Name.

The Bible in John 4:42 proclaimed Jesus as the Savior of the world, and John 8:36 declare that if He sets you free, you will be free indeed. The primary assignment of Jesus Christ on earth is to save and deliver those who accept His as Lord and Saviour, and also to destroy the works of the devil in their lives. If you desire total freedom from all the evil elements of this world and from the influence of Satan and his demonic hosts, you must first accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today, He will deliver you from every opposition to the fulfillment of your destiny, and give you a new beginning of freedom in the Name of Jesus.

Jesus has the power of set you free from sin and its consequences (Matthew 1:21, 1 Thessalonians 1:10). Jesus can deliver you totally from the fear of death and from death itself (Hebrews 2:14-15, 1 Corinthians 15:54-55). Jesus can set you free from the power of Satan and his demonic hosts because all power in heaven and earth belong to Him (Matthew 28:18). I therefore decree in the Name that is above every other name: be free from sin, oppression, servitude, sickness, poverty, and failure.

Action Point: Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today, and begin to enjoy a new beginning of freedom.
