Want to Be Set Free Supernaturally?
Have you ever felt trapped? Bound by the chains of sin and unable to break free? The good news is that in Christ, we have been set free supernaturally. The passage in Galatians 5:1-6 reminds us of this incredible truth.
Galatians 5:1-6 (NASB)
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore, keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
The Power of Freedom
God desires for us to experience true freedom in Christ. This freedom is not just the absence of external restrictions, but a supernatural release from the bondage of sin. It is a freedom that sets us apart and compels us to live according to the Spirit.
Walking by the Spirit
Living by the Spirit means surrendering our will to God’s leading. It involves seeking His guidance. We renew our minds through His word. And rely on His strength to overcome the desires of the flesh. When we walk by the Spirit, we are able to experience the fullness of God’s freedom and live in alignment with His purposes. This is how we are Set Free Supernaturally.
A Life Without Freedom, Not Set Free Supernaturally
Imagine a man named John, who is caught in a cycle of addiction and destructive habits. He constantly seeks fulfillment in worldly pleasures, but deep down, he knows something is missing. John’s life is marked by emptiness, guilt, and shame. He feels trapped and incapable of breaking free from the chains that bind him.
John’s daily routine revolves around seeking temporary satisfaction, whether it’s through substance abuse, unhealthy relationships, or pursuit of wealth and success. His heart longs for something more, but he looks in all the wrong places, never finding true freedom.
Day after day, John feels the weight of his decisions and the consequences of his actions, but he remains stuck in the cycle of sin. The absence of supernatural freedom leaves him hopeless and despairing. He desperately needs a change.
Freedom in Christ, Here Comes Being Set Free Supernaturally
Now, imagine another man named Peter, who once lived a life similar to John’s, but encountered the transforming power of Christ. Through a personal encounter with Jesus, Peter’s life was radically transformed. He experienced true freedom in Christ. He accepted the power to overcome sin. Now he lives a life pleasing to God. Now he is set free supernaturally.
Two key elements played a pivotal role in Peter’s journey towards freedom. First, he recognized his need for a Savior. And surrendered his life to Christ. Romans 10:9 says, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Peter embraced this truth and experienced the supernatural freedom that comes from being born again in Christ.
Secondly, Peter understood the importance of relying on God’s strength and guidance. Ephesians 6:10 reminds him to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. As Peter daily sought the Lord, spent time in prayer, and meditated on God’s Word, he found strength to resist temptation and walk by the Spirit.
With the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him, Peter no longer had to live under the yoke of slavery to sin. He experienced the joy, peace. He has he freedom that comes from living a life fully surrendered to God’s purposes. He is experiencing being set free supernaturally.
