My favourite word is FREE!

When the Son sets you free, you are free indeed!

Humans are always looking for a way out. A way of escape. A way to leave the heaviness of life.

The “body” truly feels heavy.

Not only do we carry ourselves around every day, we also carry our minds too.

This invisible noggin, is usually the heaviest place. If we were to weigh IT, I am sure it would weigh more than our physical body. 

How then does a Christian feel weightless and truly free? 

Even when life itself feels very heavy? 

I think a good idea is to think about the perpetual freedom of your saved soul! 

Not the heavy feeling of human-self. 

A child of God has a soul ✨️ that is washed in the blood of the lamb. 

This blood has set your soul free. 

Your soul has been eternally redeemed!

If you feel weighed down physically today, at least the most important part, your eternal soul, is free in Christ.

I think we prison our redeemed souls without being aware of it!

Huh?

How can the cross of Christ be in chains, behind bars?

Jesus’s death came to set us eternally free.

Recently I had a huge “never before” awareness. I realised how shackled my soul felt. This spiritual ball and chain lie was from Satan. This weighted LIE was the hindrance! But it was a sneaky weight. It had been hidden for so long that I didn’t recognise where it was! It had been hiding in my soul! Sneaky right?

Often we try to remove “weights/burdens” via weight loss, workouts, mental health therapies but all the while, the weight never leaves us. Why? Only because we missed the most important place of all. Weight in the soul will never disappear by human means. Only Jesus can remove these. His death on the cross for our sins, removes these burdens forever!

I thought, “This weight should not be there. I am a saved child of God. Why am I even putting the cross of Christ behind bars?”

Jesus came to set our souls free! Not to imprison them again!

Now I understand….

My authority in Christ is in my redeemed soul!

There is no weight here!

Satan works hard to put the cross of Christ and your soul behind bars! Our pure white soul and our wedding garment, is the area he attacks! He adds invisible weights that we don’t even recognise are there! He aims to defile the cross of Christ so that our redeemed souls surrender to chains ⛓️ again!

When I change my perspective to God’s truth, my human body still feels heavy but now it’s different!

I 🥰 recognise my saved soul in Christ no longer carries Satan’s chain.

So there is no longer a heavy body and a heavy soul.

Only a heavy body and a light soul.

Your heavy body is the subordinate! Its lost already!

Your redeemed soul is the LEADER.

My fleshy burdens must submit and bow to my redeemed-soul! In this place, the power of Christ works fully.

If you feel heavy today as a Christian, don’t believe the lie that you must enter a new spiritual prison! This prison does not exist for a believer in Christ. You left that prison for good when Christ saved you!

You may be suffering today in some way but you are still free-in-Christ no matter what and even if!

You are saved in Christ and eternally free.

“At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light, and the burden of my heart rolled away. It was there by faith, I received my sight and now I am happy all the day!”

Your burden did not roll back up the hill!

Who the Son sets free is free indeed!

In Christ love
