A GENERATION OF SUPERHEROES Pt. 2

FREEDOM

John 8:31-32
³¹So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, ³²and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Galatians 5:1
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Revelation 1:4-6
⁴John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, ⁵and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood ⁶and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

To be SUPERHEROES this generation must receive, walk in, fight for, and declare to others FREEDOM! Too many are walking wounded, deceived, and bound by opened shackles. Freedom is ours for the taking, but we must take it. The enemy comes to steal, kill & destroy (John 10:10a) & he wants nothing more than to keep this generation in bondage & from finding their true identity. The enemy knows that if this generation figures out who they are, whose they are & the power/authority that comes with that knowledge, they would be unstoppable. The footholds the enemy has are only the ones we allow him to have.

This generation needs to stop allowing the enemy to push them around, let go of the shackles and walk in the freedom Jesus Christ bought and paid for on the cross. There are many imitations for freedom: drugs, alcohol, pride, idolatry, lust/sexual immorality, false gods (anyone or anything that takes the place of or priority over God), cutting, suicide, etc....but all will lead to dissatisfaction or death. The only true freedom is found in Jesus Christ & making Him our Lord. He is the source of all freedom.

The time is NOW for this generation to awaken, step up to the call, & grab hold of freedom. Jesus came to give us life and life abundantly (John 10:10b)! In that life is true FREEDOM!

To have FREEDOM this generation needs:

Faith in Jesus Christ
Repentance from all unrighteousness
Ecclesia - being in The Church aka The Body of Christ
Endurance - "Run the race as to finish & win;" never give up
Death of flesh, self & old ways
Obedience to our Lord & His Word (The Bible)
Mission - sharing the Gospel & Love (This is the action to our faith)
