Life is a bunch of choices. Sometimes our situations or the choices of others, land us into a place where we become captives to anger, hate, bitterness and bondage. But we have the choice to stay there or move in the direction of freedom. Jesus Christ holds to keys to total liberation.
When we hang in on to hate, anger, pride and bitterness the only power we have is a self-destructive force that eats away at our soul and leaves us as slaves in a state of bondage, that robs us from living, and becoming the fullness God intended. We become hard, ugly, and lose life.
For many of us, the enemy has planted himself in our lives in the form of hate, bitterness, anger or an unforgiving posture. Our circumstance, and the choices of others has put us in a prison cell that has robbed us from living. The enemy is winning.
The word surrender literally means “to cease resistance to an opponent and submit to their authority.” Isn’t time to cease the resistance of totally surrendering to Jesus Christ? What is so beneficial in hanging onto the destructive forces and powers that keep you in bondage? Let it go. Surrender it all to the only One who can make beauty out of ashes.
There is nothing better than the freedom, the total freedom that comes with complete surrender to self. Jesus holds the keys to that freedom but we get to choose whether to take the keys or reject them.
Haven’t you lost enough of this precious life to the schemes of the enemy? It is time to start living.
Today, choose Jesus and change the trajectory of your life. Don’t lose another moment being a prisoner, a slave to an enemy who is determined to destroy you.
Jesus came to bring redemption. That redemption includes healing. Today, choose freedom. Today chose life. Today, choose Jesus.
