One of the "fighters" lost the fight, and ended up taped to the lamppost from ankles to neck. A delightful sight to the tricksters, until one of them informed Mom--and an immediate de-taping took place under her supervision. So much for spring break, and one grateful son, happy to be free at last!
Sweet liberty--whether at the lamppost, the Land of Liberty, or the Cross of Jesus Christ! If you are bound today, in any way, meet me at the Lord's Lamppost--the shining Light of Calvary's Cross--you're free to join me there!
We are free--to love, to laugh and to live. Read the in-depth devotional!
The choice is yours! You may go through the motions of life, but inside you are dead--your wounded spirit and depressed soul have just given up. You are numb to feelings of love, hope, emotions--high or low. You're a walking corpse, bound and lifeless. Christ, the Great Liberator, says, "(Put your name here!), come forth!" He commands you to arise out of your self-made tomb, into the freedom of Jesus Christ. Believe Him, and live!
Back to the Lamppost! Joey was tied up by the tricksters, but not for long. Mom came to the rescue. And you may be "tied up" by Satan, but not for long. He is a defeated foe. The Triumphant One, the true Liberator, is waiting to rescue you today! He is greater than any bondage that may have you tied to your lamppost today! Remember, "...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4 (KJV)."
Scripture: "If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36 KJV)."
Prayer: "Lord, I am tired of the bondage and the baggage that ties me up and weighs me down. I want to be free--to love, to laugh, to live. Help me to live in the liberty of Your Cross. I choose Your freedom today. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
