Connecting Lives, Building Faith, Releasing Destiny
ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS
CLEARING THE DEBRIS When we come to Christ, we receive freedom from the eternal penalty of sin that we all deserve. We also receive the Holy Spirit who guides us into freedom from all that is not of God. The Bible says that we are being transformed into the image of God, which means that learning how to walk in freedom in this life is a process. A flowing river can get clogged up and slowed down by the presence of debris, and in the same way, we can find that there is debris from our pasts that is hindering the flow of freedom in certain areas of our lives. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit knows how to remove all that hinders this freedom, and will guide us if we surrender and allow Him access to our hearts. This is why we put on the Set Free Retreat! The retreat is designed to give space for the Holy Spirit to show us what is hindering us, and a safe atmosphere to allow Him to bring healing and clear out the debris in our hearts. If you feel stuck, know that greater freedom is possible for you!
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 NASB
