Living on This Side of Prison part 4

Psalm 126

Are you walking in your freedom? It is so easy for us as believers to celebrate our freedom in Jesus Christ, but our challenge comes in appropriating our freedoms when it comes to our daily functions. Unfortunately, too many of us are prone to live as if we are still incarcerated within the walls of sin, shame, and death. The Devil is a Lie!!! Jesus Christ died and rose again so that all of His children, through faith, could live about the pull of our past lives before salvation. That is why Galatians 5:1 told us that it was for freedom that Christ set us free. In other words, we are no longer dead men or dead women walking. In Jesus Christ, our prison stint is over.

The Psalmist understood the principle of freedom, and he was so appreciative of his new existence that he just could not hold his peace. He shouted, he danced, his joyful spirit erupted and total elation. Even the unbelievers, Psalm 126:2, understood that their freedom was an amazing accomplishment through their amazing God. How long has it been since you celebrated your freedom? How long has it been since you opened your mouth and told the Lord thank you from the bottom of your heart. I know that this life is not easy; I know that we all have bills and burdens, but there is nothing in this life that can touch the new life that we have in Jesus. There is nothing in this life that can ever rescind our release. Hallelujah!! So right now, put aside your worry and pick up your praise, because we are now on this side of prison. This is the day that the Lord has made… Rejoice and be glad in it!!!!!!!!!
