Something I Should Know

I wish i could be compelled to write on somehting i have a great grasp on. Freedom. what does it really mean to be free? obviously to be unrestrained. so what restrains us. for each person it is diferent. we have to examine oursleves or ask god to reveal it to us- one may be more intresting and harder than the other, but whatever restraints each of us will be different. you may restrained by your lack of emotion... another may be restrained by there overflow of emotion. you maybe restrained by your lack of time... someone else may be restrianted by their poor time manaegemnt.

it is important too to understand the differnce between what is restraining us and what we feel is restraining us from our freedom. we may feel restrained by some laws in school systems that do not allow the promotion of one religion over another, however we are not restrained until we do not promote the religion we want. if we do promote it then we are not restrained. there may be consequences for freedom.

if i declare my freedom but do not do anthing , any action, that shows that i am free i am still under retrain, even if it is the restrain of myself. with this acknowledged...

where the spirit of the lord is there is freedom. we can be where the spirit of the lord is and not be free. why? becasue to use an analogy, god has unlocked and open the cell, but we must still walk out of it. god is in the business of relationship not possession.

so to be free from sin (in daily life, not the righteousness already inplace by christ in us) means to move form the cell that puts our dependance in sin. there is no good thing that sin does for us that god has not provided a perfect resolution for. people use sin to cope with life, to feel-either good or bad, and to creaste a sense of self. all of these are solved in christ. the holy spiriti is our comforter. the spirit of god can alter and create senses of feeling within us. and in christ we find oursels in him as we lose ourselves.

one final thing. god spoke to create the world. if you arent acting in the freedom god has given you then speak first..the creationcomes after. just say "i am free". (you might have to say it untilyou let yourself believe it).
