SET FREE
God’s entrance into our humanity as Jesus Christ has set us free.
Free from corruption. Free from sin and death. Free from decay.
Free from dissolution, desolation and dissilusion. Free from blindness.
Free from deafness.
Free from ignorance. Free from darkness.
He has, in His infinite wisdom, decided to be one of us, one with us!
He has chosen to share His Love, Light and Joy with us. This is His
Glory! He Who knew no sin became sin for us, so that we can become
the righteousness of God. The righteousness of God shines brighter and
brighter to the point of noon where there is no shadow and no darkness.
Here is how St. Paul explains this:
” For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as
children of Light (lead the lives of those native-born to the Light)!
For the fruit (the effect, the product) of the Light or the Holy Spirit
consists in every form of kindly goodness, uprightness of heart, and
trueness of life.
And try to learn (in your experience) what is pleasing to the Lord
(let your lives be constant proofs of what is most acceptable to Him).
Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and
enterprises of darkness, but instead (let your lives be so in contrast to)
expose, reprove and convict them. For it is a shame even to speak of or
mention the things that such people do in secret.
But when anything is exposed and reproved by the light, it is made visible
and clear; and where everything is visible and clear there is light.
Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ
shall shine upon you and give you light.
Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and
accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensibly and
intelligently),
Making the very most of the time (buying up each opportunity) because
the days are evil.
Therefore do not be vague, thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and
firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled
and stimulated with the Holy Spirit.
Speak out to one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, offering
praise with voices and instruments and making melody with all your
heart to the Lord,
At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ to God the Father.
Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ (the Messiah, the
Anointed One).”
(Ephesians 5.8-21).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) The great and amazing salvation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
is to be lived out in our thought and behavior patterns.
2) This is more evident in avoiding and exposing the fruitless deeds of
darkness.
3) Another aspect is being purposeful and precise, sensible and
intelligent, making the most of each opportunity to do good and not waste
any time, because the days are evil and they have been so for the last two
thousand years.
4) It is vital that we know the Will of the Lord concerning our
lives. This is the penetrating Desire of the Parent for the Child, the
Overarching and Specific Divine Imperative for every Moment of
our Lives.
The way we CAN KNOW the Will of the Lord in every instance is found
in the very next verse:
” And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be
filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit.”
The only way to know His thoughts and desires is to learn to HEAR and HEED
the still, small voice of the Lord. Then we are so on target and precise that
His Joy fills our thoughts and hearts so we are full of praises. psalms,
hymns and spiritual songs in our conversations with each other!
HALLELUJAH! COME, TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD!
HE IS OUR FREEDOM, OUR LIGHT,OUR SAVIOR, OUR HEALER,OUR
LEADER AND OUR JOY! PRAISES, HONOR, GLORY, POWER BELONG
TO THE LAMB! THE LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS JESUS CHRIST!
