"Start today to collect experiences and not things" ~ What does freedom mean to you? | |
KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 1373078 United States 07/01/2013 01:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a true follower of Christ, the Holy Spirit brings to mind my freedom that occurred when Jesus became not only my Savior, but also the Lord and Master of my life. I guess you can consider that as still being in bondage, but is a bondage in which I willingly choose to become a servant for Christ because through Him I am set free from being a servant to the world, the flesh and the devil. The Law is no longer my master, I am no longer a slave to sin. My bondage to Christ has set me free from my bondage to sin -- and without Christ, sin reigns in the heart. True freedom begins in the heart. True freedom is only achieved when our hearts are changed. What good is it to remove all the "crap" if your heart has not changed? Eventually it will only accumulate again. The heart is corrupt and desires to make evil choices even though it knows the morally right choice to make. Our thoughts, our behavior, what we say and how we act are all tainted by our sinful nature. Without Christ, you serve sin, the devil, the Law or yourself. If you are in Christ, sin has no dominion over you. You will still have temptations, you will still have to choose between what is right to do and what is wrong, but you have been given a new life and a Holy Spirit-filled heart that will bring about different desires and thoughts that are pleasing and glorifying to God. Christ in you!! That is an amazing reality that happens once you've been born again. Your old self is crucified with Christ on the cross, and YOU NO LONGER LIVE, but CHRIST LIVES IN YOU! I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life, which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 Christ rules my heart. Freedom came when MY WILL was slain. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7 |

Galatians 5:1 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17 That the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Romans 8:21 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.

I believe I will feel better without so much stuff. What do I do with my kids (they are grown now) trophies? Did you watch the video? When he spoke about the storage units it reminded me of the time we were in transition as to what state we wanted to live in. We left Florida and decided to travel along the east coast and combine pleasure with plans--plans to buy a home. Our travels brought us to Maryland where we stayed in a hotel for approximately 2 months. During that time we discovered the job situation wasn't promising for my husband and at the advice of a friend we came here to Michigan. It was the beginning of winter and, surprisingly, the rental market was busy and competitive. We ended up living in a hotel for 6 months before finding a suitable home to rent. Anyways, to get to the point, all our home furnishings and belongings that had followed us from Florida up to Maryland we decided to put in storage in Maryland until we got situated in Michigan. We paid for that storage for almost 2 years--what a waste of money that was! By the time we were able to go back to Maryland to pick up the stuff, we didn't need much of it anymore. We didn't want to pay for another storage unit, so most of it ended up in my basement and eventually it was sold, given away or trashed. Why so we accumulate so much stuff? Why do we hold on to things that we don't have any use for? If I were to die today, it wouldn't be coming with me and I know my sons would probably just throw it all away. As for the trophies, I would probably ask my kids first what to do with them. Then read this and see if it offers any good advice: [link to unclutterer.com] However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Why don't you learn about the direct translations of the original books of the bible commissioned by the vatican, by Mauro biglino. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40566946 The book you think is the "word of god" has been translated over and over, and censored and misinterpreted by families over the centuries (king james, Merovingian). We were created, but not by A god. We were created by GODS, and there was no original sin. We didn't need a savior. Well, if reading and studying what I believe to be the inerrant Word of God results in a positive renewal of my heart and mind, a renewing that has revealed LOVE, that teaches me to die to my SELF, but most importantly, reveals to me all that I need to know about my CREATOR and shows me the only way back to Him, then I think I will just stick with the Bible.
