New Found Freedom Brenda Drake

It is strange but the fear of losing our freedom if we give Christ our life is the complete opposite as the truth. In Christ we have new freedom, we have true freedom.  We are no longer bound in sin’s chains; and are freed to live free from the threat of eternal death in hell.

New Found Freedom

Many believe there is a great list to follow to belong to Christ.
They feel it take great effort and that they lose all their rights.
A list of do not’s loom in their mind,
And a very hard taskmaster to keep them in line.
Some say, I will wait till I’ve had my fill
Then I’ll give in and do God’s will.
When I’m old and tired – it will be easier then,
Besides, if I go now I will lose all my friends.
But the One that loves them more than they can see,
Says, if you come now My strength you receive;
The terrible hold of sin’s chains will be released.
You will experience great inner peace.
New found freedom is more satisfying than you know,
For Jesus died to make you new and whole.
The list of do’s and don’ts are not an issue anymore,
For you will very much desire to please your Lord.
If you cross the line, you’re anxious to change direction for Him,
As you repent you’ve found freedom again.
Free to worship, free to praise, free to live without fear,
Free to know and to show your God is near.
The one that listens and hears what the Spirit says will see,
They have new found freedom in Me

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:31-32

When Freedom Has Lost its Touch By Brenda Drake

            At Christmas we at times need to be reminded the reason for the season; the same now as we celebrate the Fourth of July.  Remember we are celebrating our freedom.  Do not let her pass away from our midst.

When Freedom Has Lost its Touch

When freedom’s touch no longer remains,
All that is left is just the name.
The land of the free and home of the brave,
Loses the battle of the progress made.
When freedom has lost its touch you will be,
The land that once was free.
Stand up for her, for her fight;
In her arms of protection delight.|
Honor her, encourage her to stay.
Get on your heart’s knees and for her pray.
Join together and remember her good qualities again;
Sing her praise with the freedom that lives within.
In God we trust, this is the key;
Because of His favor we are set free.
Free to worship, free to live life,
Free to choose to honor Christ.
When freedom has her touch remember once again,
Never will the heart be set free from the freedom found in Him.

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
