SylviaDuring this week when the United States is celebrating Independence Day, beloved one, listen to God's Word for you about freedom in Christ. "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1

Be released into your full freedom in Christ to be entirely whole in your spirit, soul, and body. Receive ministry from your Father until your inner being knows who you are and is strong, as He takes all hindrances and baggage and replaces them with the life of His authority, grace, and freedom in you. You are not meant just to survive. You are meant to thrive and be whole, free, and complete.

Right where God has placed you, there are things that He has put in you that you don't know now and fruits in your character that He is building in you in this season and treasures in you that He has not yet revealed. Be released from all yokes of bondage to be the man/woman after God's own heart that you are. Be blessed to possess your freedom to which He has called you in Christ.

Receive the tender correction of your Shepherd. Sometimes He uses His rod and staff to guide you, lest you stray from His care in paths of righteousness, but your soul resists. Welcome your Shepherd's disciplines for your good. He guides you to persevere into full freedom in Himself that is your right in Him. Persist and stand firm in Him. Be blessed with all the liberty of the Lord. It's yours, because Jesus set you free at the cross, and today He sets you free. Be blessed in His purpose for you to live free in full confidence in Him.

Be blessed in the name of your Deliverer (Jer 15:11).
