Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Everyone, when they start in the Word of God, when they start following Jesus, are in some degree of bondage. Jesus said that as you continue in His Word, you will be his disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. When you start your christian walk you are still in bondage, but as you continue on to know the Lord and walk in His Word, you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
One of the ways in which we are bound is by receiving and believing lies. When you believe a lie a stronghold of the devil is established in you. He is the father of lies. Then you begin to walk according to those lies you have received and it keeps you from believing the truth and overcoming and bearing fruit. So the Lord , in His great mercy sends someone to speak His Word by the Holy Spirit to you, which if you can receive it will minister life to you and allow you to be delivered from the strongholds. If you believe His Word then the strongholds and imaginations and everything that exhalts itself against the knowledge of God can come down. The lies are exposed by the light. However, many say, like the pharisees, "We are not in bondage, we are christians." No, Jesus said "If you continue in His Word, then you will be made free.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Repent and Believe the Gospel!
REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!
Jesus said,"The time is fullfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the Gospel" The Gospel is that the Word of God became a man; Jesus, the only begotten of the Father, the Son of God, full of grace and truth, and lived in this world with every temptation that you and I face, and yet He never sinned and He gave himself to die on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. God made Him who knew no sin to become sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. He was buried in a tomb, and on the third day the Father raised Him from the dead. He was seen of above 500 witnesses after He arose and He ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven. He is there right now, alive, making intercession on our behalf to the Father. He is coming again with all the saints and all the angels in great power and glory and all who live and believe in him will be united with him and thus will we ever be with the Lord. I urge you to seek Him now, during this time while the long suffering of God is waiting, for the Day of the Lord is coming soon. He loves you and He will save you to the utter most if you will put your trust in Him.
