You're not a slave anymore................

Good morning everyone. I pray you are having a great week so far. We had a little bit of snow on the ground this morning. I know the kids were praying to have school cancelled but, we only have a few snow days left and if we miss to much it cuts into spring break. And that is when we are going on our mission trip. So, I pray for no snow!!!! I have to ask you a question. Well, first I must tell you over the the last week I have met with numerous teenagers about the devil really attacking them. They want to know why? They are getting beat down and need some relief. Well, here is some of the good stuff that we dug into so that we have an answer................

Bible Verse: Romans 6:13 "Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."


Hey, check this out if you let the devil get the upper hand in your life today, it is going to be because you are doing the letting or giving up? Before you accepted Christ and got saved, you didn't have a say so. You were a slave to sin. You were chained to sin. But now, you don't have to let sin have the upper hand in your life. The chains are gone. They've been broken. There is for sure no power that says you have to sin. When you entered into marriage with Christ, you no longer have to let sin have control of you. You have knocked sin of of its thrown and Jesus Christ is sitting on the thrown as Lord of your life. I read this from the good Dr. Rodgers. We need to be like the man who prayed, "Lord, help me cooperate with You, so You won't have to operate on me." Who is reigning in your life today? Are you still a slave? It is time you realize that the chains have been broken. It is time that you allow Jesus to have the upper hand in your life!! Don't ever forget the chains are gone, you've been set free. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
