Freedom

Freedom  -  Ninety Two

     Jesus made such a powerful statement in John 8:36, when He told His audience that who the Son sets free is free indeed.  Such a promise and yet so many today either neither believe Him or do not exercise enough faith to see its reality.  So many in the church and outside as well are suffering in pain, sorrow, sickness and depression.  The prescription pill industry is a trillion dollar business around the world.  A study was done recently and over 50% of all medication prescribed by doctors have to do with dealing with diseases of the mind.  People are so stressed out that they have pills to wake them up, help through the day and then to put them to sleep at night. 

     Jesus came to set the captive free.  The problem in the church beloved is the fact that most preachers do not believe that healing was part of the atonement.  Many say that healing, with signs, wonders and miracles went out with the apostles.  Of course with the advancement of the medical procedures often people don’t even think about going to the Lord with their ailments.  Just go see the doctor.  He will have a little pill to take away the pain. 

     As the church becomes more apostate so will the dependence of nominal believers to rely on medicine instead of Jesus.  Now I have nothing against medicine or doctors but when was the last time you asked for prayer of an ailment?  When was the last time your church has a healing line, prayer for the sick or even public prayer for anything?  All this does not stop the promise and reality that Jesus wants to set you free.  It may be physical, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, financial or family.  Jesus can and will heal you.  He will set you free.  Come to Jesus.  See what the Lord can do.  He says come, come and be healed.  Come and be restored, forgiven, delivered, reconciled, strengthened and set free.
