Part of the Great
So last entry I talked about the next part of my life as being great. It's been a while so here's an update:
In summer school and graduating in three and a half weeks.
Moving in with my parents middle of next month
Still attending Xenia Assembly of God
Praying in tongues daily plus reading about what a life in the Spirit is like
Still working at Fairborn Library
Doing stuff with International Ministry (events, hanging with students, etc.)
So tonight I got some of the Great of my post XA life. This isn't post XA related though truly because XA was involved indirectly. Funny. I went to an XA meeting tonight (Ignite) becuase I just wanted to be around everyone. The summer talks are great and staying away from them is hard. So why fight it when you don't have to?
So tonight we talked about freedom from sin. My biggest one has been vanity for a long time and I made a break through in my life in that.
Freedom is part of the Great I was talking about. I have been wrestling with lies all this year so I can be dependent God's Word for truth.
Freedom is new to me. I am not talking about freedom to do whatever I want. I am more talking about what we like to call liberation. The freedom from what we call psychological restraints like worry, fear, etc. We stick things mainly in the psychological processes and think by sheer will we can have freedom from them. When freedom comes from Christ. I really don't think on our own strenghth we can be free from this stuff because they have spiritual consequences and play a big part in the spiritual world. And worry and fear- they are sin. And sin...Well we are slaves to that until we have Christ. We can't overcome the sin in our lives without Him. This is why Jesus died on the cross.
Praise the Lord I am free to follow Him!!!
