Get Free (31 May)

Posted by Rhonda

Several people have asked me about sharing some of the intimate details of my life. I decided that I would address this at this time. I have simply shared my testimony and that is where my focus has always been. It is my personal Faith walk. My Faith walk is what led me to where I am today. I am free of my past mistakes, my past decisions, my present (now) and my future…no worries. No matter what happens, I can look back and say God was there and therefore He is here now (presently) and He will be in the future. With that kind of assurance none of us have to worry. EC is my testimony and I am not ashamed to reveal my testimony. While I was in the process of writing EC I knew that it entailed me revealing some intimate details in my life. However, I can not tell my story without illustrating my spiritual transformation. I had to write that vision and I had to make it plain…sound familiar? We need to hear the truth in testimonies. We can no longer be vague and expect to make a difference. Yes, I could have told a story of some made up character who encountered some issues, some heart ache and some trouble and then God set her free. But tell me how effective that would have been. I am God’s child and I know that I am set apart from others in this way and my writing is not for me it is for the Glorification of the Lord, I humbly say, if my gift is writing, some say, then my gift is from God, of God and for God! My book is unto God and my thank you to God and a gift I give to others. Therefore, I am not concerned about the exposure. I am concerned about the greater good. None of us are exempt from struggles. We can not ignore the state we as Christians are in today, there are struggles on every hand, we see people taking their own lives, bound up by drugs, alcohol, affairs, unhappy, hurting, suffering, bound up because of past mistakes, past decisions, past baggage, confused, perplexed, etc. with seemingly no outlet…. Yet there is an outlet for every issue, ever situation, God is beautiful for situations. If my testimony, my story, my journey can help at least one person then it is worth sharing and for the greater good. The Bible says that in this life we all shall struggle. When we overcome our struggles, and we will always overcome our struggles, we have to only believe, we are to share it with others so we can win the world for Christ.

In the very beginning I did struggle at times, but each time God said press on, this is not about you, this is about ME! When you read EC, please, I ask of you, do not focus on me and my pain (we all have pain) but focus on GOD and how he took me from glory to glory to glory. I stand free today and that is the reason I am able to stand boldly and share my story. If you are not free then I can see your reservations, but I encourage you today, let God set you free and then you will understand why my testimony was like fire shut up in my bones. God can set you free from your past, your present and your tomorrow. I am no super woman or an extraordinarily strong woman; I am only God’s chosen vessel and only made it through by the touch of the Master’s Hand!

Get free, Get Jesus!

    There is a saying that freedom isn’t free. When we think about wars ,past and present the tremendous sacrifices so many gave their lives for our freedom. The ultimate sacrifice was God sending his only begotten son to die for our freedom . The bible says , Let us labor to enter into his rest. Labor, their is a price to pay to be free and to remain free. It is a day by day process .God says in his word Abide in me. Truly that is the only way we can be free and remain free.

    So true, I am abiding in him every day and still sometimes it is a struggle but I know that it is only my flesh. My spirit and my mind are free and that is all that matters. My flesh is just a covering and temporary. We have to die to our flesh daily! Paul as a great Apostle says, I die daily, so we know that if Paul struggled with his flesh we will definately struggle with our flesh. The more we let go and let God the easier the struggles become. The flesh will try to raise up but we will have to put the flesh under submission. The ability to do that is dependent upon our relationship with God. Freedom, by earthly measures certainly is not free, but freedom of the mind and soul is absolutely free.
