HOW TO BREAK FREE   by Ray Mossholder

Are you realizing that the Christian life is a bed of roses with thorns? We live in a real world with hell happening all around us and sometimes to us. That’s because the god of this world is the devil (2 Corinthians 4:3–4). Only when we are born again by receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior (Romans 10:8–11) do we begin an  ongoing relationship with the real God and start walking the eternal road to Heaven even if it takes a long, long time to get there. On this planet that “long, long time” is called life!

The god of this world doesn’t leave when you become a Christian. In fact, he hates you most when you give your life to Christ and afterward. He will do anything to try to make you stumble, to make you sin, to, at least however long, short-circuit God’s great plan for your life here. Here’s the good news: the devil and his demons can’t make you do anything you don’t agree to do. Christ is right there for you to call on and have Him strengthen you and give you the victory over sin, satan, and self.

And remember something vital that the god of this world desperately wants you to forget: Your sins are forgiven as a Christian – past, present and future. So if you get yourself into a mess, He’s already forgiven you for it. Just call on Him to work with you and get you out of the mess. Messes hurt everyone around you and most of all yourself no matter how good they feel at certain moments (Hebrews 11:25). The devil works through illusion and deceives through seduction. His goal is to blow your mind literally.

Never sell your birthright for a pot of porridge (Genesis 25:29-34). Never stop believing in God and His only begotten Son (John 3;16-18) Instead, “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession (that Jesus Christ is our Lord). For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace (“grace” = Absolutely undeserved favor and kindness) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:14–16)

Been there.  Done that.  I’m free.  So will you be.  Ray
