Wherever The Holy Spirit demonstrates the Lordship of Jesus Christ, freedom is the evidence!
THE LORD is always working towards us being free; free from sin, free from sickness, free from bondage… We were all designed to have creative expression on the earth, to be unique thinkers. Free people think creatively!
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Zechariah chapter 1:
18 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four horns.
19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” So he answered me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
20 Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.
21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?” So he said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one could lift up his head; but the craftsmen are coming to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
The number four represents worldwide, and the four horns are worldwide enemies of Christ. However, THE LORD raises up craftsmen to cast out and terrify the enemy. A craftsman is a person with a master’s level understanding of not only how to do a certain type of work, but also a great appreciation of why and for whom they’re doing it.
It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Daniel chapter 1:
17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all understanding and Wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
FATHER raises up His Sons and Daughters to overtake the wiles of the devil in every area… worldwide. The adversary attempts to hold people in bondage, and The Holy Spirit sets the captives free.
We are not to be bound with regret, worry about today, or fear the future, we have not fully embraced the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all the earth. If the enemy can tie me to the failures or disappointments of the past, and make me fearful of tomorrow, he has undercut my creativity… the way I approach life.
The uniqueness of a Divine moment is being untethered by yesterday and the fear of tomorrow.
Regret is very similar to unforgiveness because they both tie us to the past. Regret is a mismanagement of yesterday’s actions, an improper management of the effects of yesterday. Fear of what might happen is my mismanagement of tomorrow.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 8:
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed.
32 And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.”
We are invited to discover Truth and then discover THE GOD of that Truth. When we abide in HIS Word, repentance eliminates regret and is no longer considered. As well, the Truth sets us free from the fear of the future. Freedom is the product of Truth realized. Truth realized is the ultimate adventure!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:
16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in Love,
18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-
19 to know the Love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him Who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you.
When you and I walk in His miraculous power, we are totally free from the world’s grasp.
