Every Captive Free

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

This has been the cry of my heart for quite some time yet it has been amplified in the last couple of weeks as God is in the process of bringing even greater levels of freedom into my life. Healing and freedom go hand in hand to me. As we are healed, greater levels of freedom come.

I am currently reading a rather intense book that I don't know that I would recommend to everyone but here is such a powerful quote from it:

None of us are as free as Jesus intended for us to be. We may be as free as we know how to be at this hour. As we gain new freedom, we will then be able to look back and see how deeply in bondage we were all along.-Malone

Jesus has greater levels of freedom for me! And for you! The kicker is, we have to want it. Jesus is a gentleman and He will not force anything on us, from salvation, to the Holy Spirit, to healing and freedom. He desires it for us more than we could ever know but He won't force it. We have to want it!

I want it so bad I can taste it! It is literally something I am craving and I am working towards because I recognize two things: 1. I need it. 2. Those around me need it and until they see it manifest in my life, they won't recognize the need for it in their own life.

Yesterday, a friend posted on facebook "what is something that i want to see changed in the world? it can be small or big...anything." I asked her if it was a rhetorical question and she responded that she in fact was trying to figure out what she wants to see changed in the world and that she would take suggestions. My response was "I want to see lives transformed for the glory of God, particularly people living as free and healed as God intended them to be." I do! I really, really do!

A friend of mine shared this song with me the other day and I can't stop listening to it. It's one of those that has gotten down into my spirit and I keep singing it over and over as I go throughout my day. The song is Every Captive Free by Matt Gilman. May it minister to you in great ways and may you seek after healing and freedom in Christ all the days of your life!
