One of the greatest joys in my life is worshipping God through music. I love to sing and play before the Lord and worship God in totally freedom. I can remember back so well at the time in my life when I was just beginning to walk into the understanding of living the Spirit-led, Spirit-controlled life. I can recall having the urge to lift my hands to the Lord but feeling very self-conscious about it. I was sitting next to a friend in a worship service and she must have known from the outside the struggle I had going on in the inside. She whispered in my ear…. “it really won’t hurt to lift your hands, and it will probably bring you more freedom than you’ve ever known.” She was right. I went from being totally self-conscious about worshipping God to total freedom and a greater consciousness of God than ever before. Simply breaking through something in the natural realm, moved me into a greater depth of freedom than I had ever experienced before. Now I love the freedom I have to worship God with all my might – and with my mind, soul and strength.
Perhaps you are feeling bound in an area of your life, maybe there is a habit that has you bound. The devil has bondage mastered! He doesn’t want us to be free. When you realize the incredible price Jesus paid for your freedom, you may begin to look at bondage from a different view. It isn’t all just about will power. Freedom is about being completely dependent on God and knowing His will for you is to be totally free. It not only takes the spiritual element, it takes making wise choices as well. When you add God’s “SUPER” to your “natural”, it becomes supernatural! That’s what freedom is all about. God living BIG on the inside of you, and you making right choices. That’s living supernaturally! That’s true freedom!
