2 Corinthians 3:17
King James Version
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit:
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
Life is not about slavery, to people, and systems.
Kindness is making sure other people can live freely, work freely, breathe freely, praise God freely, and be left alone to enjoy time by themselves, or with people they care about.
It is not about losing light in your soul, because you are heavily indebted, or burdened from expectations thrust upon you.
Only a born again can understand the concept of freedom from the Spirit of God's heart.
He will do everything in his power, that he abides by the laws of God, and not cause other people undue hardship, nor slavery.
It is so, because the Lord Jesus already freed us from sin, and from death, the day He offered His life on the cross.
He defeated the devil's hold over death, for now, Jesus offered us eternal life with Him.
He took away fear from our hearts.
He took away confusion, for He prayed to the Father to give us His Holy Spirit, to instruct us in the path He had already paved.
When you have the Holy Spirit in your heart, your heart becomes alive for Christ, obedient to His will, listening closely to His instructions, and delighting in such obedience.
To serve the Lord, is the greatest honor for a born again.
You become grateful for the Light of Christ, and your desire, is only to walk in His ways.
Ephesians 5:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 For ye were sometimes darkness,
but now are ye light in the Lord:
walk as children of light:
The world has no hold over you anymore, for you have become the Lord's.
The world cannot frighten you, nor coerce you, much less confuse you, for you live under the Light of Christ.
You become sealed by the Holy Spirit's promise:
Ephesians 1:13
King James Version
13 In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation:
in whom also after that ye believed,
ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
You love God's truth, His gospel, His Word, and you share it every chance you can get, so others may know about the love of God, too.
If you long for freedom so much, believe that only Jesus can give you that.
Be born of water and of the Spirit, and you will be gifted with God's Comforter -- the Holy Spirit -- who will teach you all things Jesus.
Never again will you be in the dark about anything.
From my own personal experience, having accepted Christ in full, as a born again, my prayers and questions are answered quickly.
And when I pray that I do God's will, the answers come before my prayer's even finished.
Such is the gift of the Spirit of God.
It is clear, immediate, and powerful.
The world loses its hold on you as you serve God alone.
You are free of self, as you gain God.
