Last Sunday at Thrive Church we talked about how we can live with true FREEDOM, the kind that starts on the inside and is not dependent on our work, home or any other environments.  It’s easy to think our surroundings are the key to satisfaction.  I love what the apostle Paul writes in II Corinthians about where real FREEDOM COMES FROM.

I challenge you to read though these and ask yourself the question, in light of this passage, “Am I really free”? If you’re not, read through the steps and put them into action – You were meant to live and your freedom is worth fighting for…

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (The Message)

“Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it!

All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.”

How do we BREAK FREE?

1. Go FACE to FACE with God – Let it get Personal….
2. Recognize the areas you NEED FREEDOM IN – Don’t take it personal….
3. Take your NEXT RIGHT STEP toward GOD – Realize all Change that God brings – has to be personal….
