Freedom

Freedom

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
2 Corinthians 3:17

The Spirit of the Lord dwells in me,

and because of this I know I’m free.

But, free from what is the question.

Free to do what I like is the suggestion.

But from where does this idea arise?

Well, that thought is of no little surprise.

It is from the one who claims to be wise,

but is the one who is the father of all lies.

We were freed from the very one who tries

to trap us back into his web of sin and deceit,

so that this will lead us into the jaws of defeat.

The Holy Spirit warns us when to retreat,

to abide in Him who is our protection and rest,

and through His power to endure the test.

We have access daily to the Holy Spirit to win

and be set free in Him from the power of all sin,

to become a prisoner of the Lord & His grace & love

to permit us to walk in His freedom from above.

  The Lord Is Very Near                                         by Danny C. Wash "Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13 The Lord is very near, so we should have no fear. He loves and cares for us so we should in Him trust. He redeemed us from sin’s hold, so we are free and  can  be bold in Him to carry us to victory through our life’s many mysteries and to someday stand before His throne, without blame in His merit & name alone.

God’s Mystery                                                           by Danny C. Wash                                                  “ The mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations; but has now been manifested to  His saints.” Colossians 1:26 What is God’s mystery?  A mystery is a secret, an unknown thing. Something that is not easily understood. But, God’s mystery has now been revealed to  anyone who will ask, seek, and knock, as Jesus  has said. God’s mystery is, Christ in you, the hope  of glory and you complete in Christ. This secret was  hidden from the past generations before the cross  and the victory of the resurrection. The demons did not know the secret, so they participated unknowingly  in the revealing of the secret by nailing Jesus to the  cross thinking they had the victory only to be defeated  on the third day in the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus became  the Messiah, the Savior, the Christ. And, then it was revealed  that by God’s act we were p

 An Email to a Friend About What Christians Believe                                                                                                                                                       David , I  enjoyed talking with you about Judaism and Christianity.  I could tell you have a real interest in spiritual matters.   When we were talking we didn’t have a chance to finish our discussion about the Christian concept of God being One God. First, let me say that the below is not to be taken as an argument against your beliefs, it is just a statement of what I believe most Christians believe.   As I said, Christians believe that God is One, in the sense that the Godhead is three in One- the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (what has been called “the Trinity”). The three are distinct personalities, but are not separate, in Christian thought. How that really works is one of the mysteries of our belief.  As you may know (and I don’t know your level of knowledge abo
