Break Free

You’re free, so stay free. Break the chains of your past, demolish old patterns of thinking and behavior, and renew your heart and mind daily with the newness and freshness of Him. You’re not a slave anymore so don’t think or act like one.

August's Message, Day 4:

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? Galatians 4:8-9 NIV

Once we are free as believers, and the new creation in Him, we are expected to continually put off the old self and keep putting on the new. It is difficult sometimes to break free from the chains, patterns, and mindset of our past and move forward with Him. But we must remember that we have been set free, and to go back, repeating the past, continuing in those poor choices, succumbing to old patterns and thoughts, means to be enslaved once more by them. You must choose each day, to be free in Him or slave to your former self. Put the past behind you, once and for all, and forevermore look forward, keeping your eyes on Him, the author and finisher of your faith.
