GOD WANTS YOU FREE
Author: Pat Aman
I believe every believer who loves God wants to be holy. But not every believer is actually living holy. Many times we have old habits we’ve never overcome, even though we’ve lived with them for years.
If you’ve struggled like this, even for years, I know you can be free. God wants you free, and the Scripture says the truth will make you free. If you continue in the Word of God, it will make you free and you can live holy.
Jesus said in His prayer to the Father “Sanctify them through the truth, the word of truth”( John 17:17)
I don’t care if what’s holding you back is the strongest addiction there is, God will and can set you free. All He needs is your choice, your quality decision that, “No matter what, this is it. I’m leaving bondage behind.”
God is faithful. He’s just waiting on the opportunity to help you. He is a merciful and loving Father. (Jeremiah 15:19) says, “Therefore thus saith the LORD, if thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me, and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth, let them return unto thee; but return not thus unto them.”
“If thou return…” As a believer, that’s what God’s asking you to do. To draw nigh unto Him and He’ll draw nigh unto you with every deliverance, every blessing, every prosperity that you need. If you’re a person who’s moved away from God, He’s asking you to return. If you’ve never been saved, He’s asking you to come to Him and make Jesus your Lord and Savior.
“The precious from the vile…” He wants us to learn to separate in our lives the precious things that are His from the vile things of this world. God won’t force you to do that. He doesn’t require you to live a life separated unto Him because He wants to be a dictator. NO That’s not God’s way at all.
God wants you to do what He says and walk in His ways because they produce freedom. They produce the best for you. You can’t walk in the ways of the world and be free. God loves you. He wants you to be able to wake up every morning happy, full of joy, with your needs met, your family around you, and no trouble on any side. And He wants you to be free of all those things you’ve struggles with for years.
Accept Father God’s love, salvation, and grace.
