Last night I witnessed one of the largest displays of God's Amazing Grace as we gathered in celebration of lives who had recovered from past hurts, hang-ups and bad habits. Men and women who had been so beaten down, so broken, so bent in despair, so lost in hopelessness, so deep in sin until that day; that glorious day Jesus entered their lives and set them Free! His Loving Hand reached down and offered them a new Hope; offered Deliverance; offered a New Way; offered Freedom; and they reached up and took hold of His hand that brought them Freedom!
Jesus told us in John 8:36 that whoever the Son sets Free is Free Indeed and these men and women are truly free indeed! Delivered and Set Free by the Blood of Jesus through God's Amazing Grace, these men and women once bound in the chains of their past, marched across stage one at a time holding their past marked on the front of large signs and then victoriously flipped the sign over to hold high their new found Freedom in Christ Jesus!
No longer bound to their past life of hurts and despair, no longer bound to abuse and brokenness, no longer bound by drugs or alcohol, no longer bound to a life of sin; these men and women boldly profess they are are more than Overcomers, they are Victors in Christ Jesus! And you could feel all of Heaven rejoicing as these brave men and women unashamedly profess Christ Jesus as Lord over it all!
No more shackles, no more chains, no more bondage, But Free In Christ Jesus! What a difference His New Way makes in our lives; a new way to live free from all sin and brokenness in Christ Jesus! And you can live Free too, if only you will reach up and take His nail-scarred Hand and receive Him into your heart as your Lord and Savior! Think about it!
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
