Breaking Free

Since about mid January or so, I have been doing the Beth Moore study Breaking Free.  And wow.  Ladies, I do not even know where to begin on how refreshing this study is!  If you've done this study, you know what I'm talking about.  I wish every woman on the face of this planet could go through it.  It has even been known to help a few men out they say.  The main point of Breaking Free is... you guessed it!  Breaking free of the yokes of slavery, the sins, the lies, the destructions, the strongholds that hinder us from becoming all that God has called us to be.  Let me tell you something - it works.  This study is packed with scripture that will leave you feeling uplifted, encouraged, challenged, and fearful of God Almighty.  My heart has been changed through the Holy Spirit working through Beth and her passion for women to know the longing Christ has for setting the captive free (John 8:32).  We all have strongholds, something that is holding us back, whether we realize it or not.  That's what sin does, and thats what the devil himself loves.  Let us not become slaves to sin, but slaves to obedience (Romans 6:16)!  We have a beautiful, abundant, joy-filled life waiting for us, so what are we waiting for?  I promise you, there is no greater joy than to delight yourself in the Lord.  When will we take off our blindfolds of sin and open our eyes to the magnificent reality that Christ lives in us?  The Holy God who created the universe lives in us, and not only that, but He loves us with a love that is unconditional.  God is love.  He is love. His wrath is even better than the best possible human love we can think of.  If that's not enough to bring you to your knees with praise on your lips, then I don't know what is.  Drink it in. Be refreshed!
