*True Freedom is Here*
Everyone thinks about freedom differently. Most people would say freedom is a virtue that should be sought, but that idea changes depending on how it’s defined.
A lot of people think freedom is the absence of restraints. We are truly free when we are free from things that hold us back. Others define freedom by our human will—if we can choose what we want, then we can be free.
These ideas are a bit different from what we find in Scripture. According to God’s Word, freedom is found wherever God is found. Freedom is found when we live according to God’s original design for our life.
When we begin our life with Jesus, He gives us a new heart and way to live. He also sends the Spirit of God to live within us. Paul says in *2 Corinthians 3:17 that wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is true freedom.* That means all of us who believe in Jesus have access to this freedom.
Freedom doesn’t come from doing whatever we want, but from living according to the Spirit of God who lives within us.
Paul goes on to say that those of us who belong to the Lord should spend time in God’s presence. It’s only when we sit with God daily that we are transformed by Him. Through God’s Word and talking with Him, we have access to true life transformation and true freedom.
Let's identify one or two things that are holding us back from living this way? It may be an unresolved conflict or a recurring sin. Whatever it is, we can spend some time with God today—asking for forgiveness and seeking out our next steps. Spending time in His presence through prayer and reading Scripture. Our life will be transformed if we continue spending time with the One who can thoroughly change us.
*Prayer For Breakthrough*
Lord Jesus, we thank You for sending Your Spirit to be with us at all times. Because You are with us today, we know we can have freedom in every area of our lives. Holy Spirit, help us to break loose from anything holding us back. Only You can define who we truly are, and—because of You—we are no longer restricted by the painful things in life. Thank You for the freedom that is found in You! Amen.
