John
16:1 3 says if you are a friend of the Holy Spirit, He will keep you informed
of the truth. It will be difficult for people to pull wool over your eyes. In
addition to this, He will expose the truth of God’s Word to you. It is the
revelation of the truth that makes free. This implies that, if you are a friend
of the Spirit, He will bring you out of bondage and ensure you walk ¡n liberty.
No wonder 2 Corinthians 3:17 says,
“Now
the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty.”
The
greatest need of the one in captivity is the Holy Spirit. Are you in a demonic
bondage? You need the Holy Spirit. Are you in prison — both spiritual and
physical? Be filled with the Spirit. Draw close to Him. Love and serve Him
within that prison situation and before long you will be spiritually liberated.
As you continue to walk with the Spirit, the physical prison walls will not be
able to contain you. The truth is that you cannot have a close walk with the
Holy Spirit and remain bound. Do you know that those who were criminals and are
presently serving a prison sentence, but have now received Christ and are
fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, are actually free? If men say you are
bound but God says you are free, who would you believe?
Everybody
desires freedom. Whether you are in a physical prison or not, you want to live
at liberty. Do you know that the most enslaved people are not those inside the
four walls of a prison but those outside? In their quest to be free to do
whatever they like, many have become terrible slaves of their carnal desires.
An individual who has no self control is in bondage. Take Solomon for instance.
He received unprecedented blessings from God, but a time came that he became so
obsessed with carnal things that whatever his eyes liked, he acquired. What
bondage! No wonder he ended up with 1000 women! The physical prison is there to
help the convict have a rethink about life and to help them find Jesus. As you
receive Jesus, develop your relationship with the Holy Spirit and win souls to
Christ. Are you in a prison? The Spirit of God will bring you out in Jesus
name.
“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
” 2Corinthians 3:17
Prayer point: Father, in whatever bondage I have found myself,
as I walk with the Holy Spirit this season, set me free.
