How Faith Changes Things and Births Freedom

Freedom is one of the uttermost needs of humankind. Yet freedom remains a mirage for many because the basics of freedom aren’t understood.

I remember the story of Betty, a vibrant lady who got a job with a multinational company, thinking she would have the freedom to express her creativity as a graphic designer and content writer. A year ago, her parents had offered her a position in the family business but she had declined, thinking to herself ‘Dad and Mom can’t understand my flare for the arts and would want to restrict my freedom to create”. This was her truth, and this had driven her away from home consistently. Now, 5 years later, working at her supposed dream job, she felt more miserable than ever.

Betty hadn’t gotten a chance to pitch any ideas to the content manager, rather she was always placed as a third wheel on few projects, saddled with the responsibility to fine tune created designs and to ensure their printing in a very specific format. Every attempt she made to scale a notch higher on the professional creative ladder always met a brick wall, and on a particular incident, she was issued a query for insubordination and authority overreach. This was because she had insisted on a design for a campaign cover,  she had tested in the market and found it to be widely accepted, unfortunately this was misinterpreted wrongly by her immediate boss and escalated for disciplinary measures.

Eventually giving up on her attempt for creative freedom, Betty called her mom one sunny afternoon as she sat in the nearby metropolitan café. The gust of wind from the nearby sea was lost on her as she trailed off in thought, trying to gather her words together. “I’m quitting my job mom”, she managed to say. The next response from her mom was unprecedented as she heard her say “Oh Betty i know, but I want you to Know your job is still waiting for you with your Dad and I, and we have a whole department of Designs and Art we would like you to head.” Breathless, Betty had to ask “Wow! How did you know I was quitting and when did you and Dad come up with the Design department?” Again Betty was stunned with her mother’s response “i just kept having the feeling that you were struggling Betty. Besides, the department had always been. We wanted you to head it five years ago, remember? But when you shared your dream with us of wanting to work with the multinational, we thought it was an opportunity we couldn’t hold you back from” Betty was stone speechless. Her parents had been looking out for her freedom all along and here she was entangled in what she thought was her dream, but it was constricting freedom!

In God’s Kingdom system, your freedom begins where God’s will for you is known, and where God’s will for you is known is called the highest place of Truth. Jesus speaking therefore in John 8:32 says “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Truth makes free and keeps free, but tainted truth doesn’t have the same effect.

In a world of self framed Truth, many struggle with inner peace, because the truth you create which is called (Self Truth) Cannot set you Free. But the Highest Truth of the Great one who created you will align with your heart and set you free from the depths of your soul. Hence, true freedom is found in the Truth of Christ Jesus. Jesus speaking in Joh 8:36 KJV says “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” It is a default setting, that receiving and believing in Christ Jesus brings peace into your heart; and Receiving His Truth concerning your life brings you into True Freedom. This is not a freedom you are struggling to keep and maintain, rather it is a FREEDOM YOU WILL HAVE AND Be Rooted in.

So, Faith in Jesus And His Truth, connects you to the Life of True Freedom you seek, because Jesus would teach you through His word, how you can be truly free in every area of your life. In  John 14:6 Jesus says “I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me.” If Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, what else do you seek? The choice to believe Him and to believe His Words is called Faith, and aligning with Him this way, births True freedom because your understanding will be lighted by truth and you will be able to make right decisions that would bolster your freedom in life.

Are you ready to step into true freedom today? Then feel free to make the choice right now.   Romans 10:9-10, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”

Prayer:

“Heavenly Father, I come to you in need of salvation. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died for my sins, and that He rose again. I repent of my sin and I receive your forgiveness. I declare that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and guide me in Your ways. I step into your liberty today and I receive your light to guide me all through life. Thank you for the gift of salvation and eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
