Resigning from Slavery

Deuteronomy 28:13 "And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them,"

We have been made to rule.  The first command to Adam was to rule the earth, the plants, land animals and sea creatures.  He set man over all His work.  Now we know that we are the children of the Most High God, ruler over all.  And so God also gave us authority over all.  We are kings on this earth!

Matthew 18:18 "Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." 

Now with this in mind... look at what is happening around us.  We are bound by our fleshly desires.  There are so many distractions that take our focus from Life and so we effectively become the slaves of our very selves.  The other problem is when we want to step out and start giving ourselves to God wholly, this slave master of ours will make us feel unworthy, reminding us of our sins and what we did wrong.  That we arent worth being vessels of the Most High.

Romans 8:1-2 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death."

In Romans, Paul assures us that we have been set free.  That we don't have to listen to the enemy breaking us down but that we are worthy of God's service because He saw us fit in the first place to die and pay the price that was on our heads.  This means we need to renew our minds!  Set it on God and ignore false accusations or distractions.  Let God be what we eat, drink, dream about and talk about.  Once we make God our obsession, there is nothing that will be able to draw our attention away from the source of Light and Life!

1 Timothy 6:12 "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." 

 Let's step out and be who God created us to be!  It's time to laugh at our slave master before we crush him under our feet.
