Break Free

We live in a world of people that is primarily lost and deceived.  This implies that if we are seeking God we are not in the “Norm”.

Webster’s Dictionary

normal |ˈnôrməl|

adjective

1 conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected

Question:  Are You Normal?

Matthew 9:35-36 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. ³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

If we take the time to look around we will conclude that people are harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  They are seeking other things to guide and shepherd their lives such as politicians, government, and corruption of people in “power”.

Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

The vast majority of people are being “compelled” to give themselves over to these powers and principalities of the enemy. 

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth

Question:  Are you following people who hear from God or people that are deceived?

Acts 5:38-39 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. ³⁹ But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”

John 8:47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

We need to seek God to be able to steer clear from the “normal” societal persuasion.  It’s time to Break Free from the chains of society and follow the plan that comes from God.  His plan guarantees Victory in our lives.

Father God, we seek your plan in life and stand firm against the “persuasion” of society.  We break free from the bondage of the enemy’s plan. We desire to be different than the world.  We walk in courage to stand against the schemes of the world and become laborers in your Harvest in Jesus name! Amen

Matthew 9:37-38 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. ³⁸ Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
