What Chains? Galatians 5:13-14


I was preparing for house church and I heard from the Lord the day of my talk. I was giving a sermon on freedom in Galatians 5. I was talking about how we chain ourselves up because we want to take control, we don't know if God is good enough to handle our situation, we think we understand our circumstance better than God, and so chain up everything we want to control which isn't freedom. So as I thought of this example, I was thinking that we set ourselves apart from freedom and if we want to be free we have to give those chains over to God. So as I prepared for this talk I went through this in my head and said, " God, hears my chains." and God said, " What chains? Have you forgot about my Son and what He did for you? Those chains don't exist anymore, my Son died for all of that, the chains you are talking about in your head, you create them to make yourself feel better. You are free go live in victory." The Lord is a Victorious Warrior.
