We are called to be free
Freedom – Why did God give it to us?
We were called to be free – We were created at God’s image. Genesis 1:27
God gave freedom to man to eat everything but not the fruit knowledge of good and evil – Gen 2:16
God didn’t create any robot, God is not a robot.
When man sinned he became a slave of sin… John 8:34
Man is totally free to say yes or not to God.
The devil doesn’t treat man like that…
The ones who serve the devil are slaves and have no choice…
Slaves of addictions, money, sex, work and so on.
God didn’t create us to be slaves but to be free.
Free to serve Him.
Read Exodus 3:7
Moses had an Encounter with God and received a word of God: I will be with you.
But if you think your enemy will allow you to go free easily you are wrong.
He will ask you to stay; he will try to put some doubts in your mind.

He also said to the people: go back to your work…
Don’t give ears to these crazy guys…
I will make your life harder…. Verse 9

He doesn’t want you to believe in your leaders…. They are too crazy.
He doesn’t want you to believe in your dreams… 17/18
He wants you to be discouraged because then you won’t give ears to God’s words, Exodus 6: 9
But God really wanted to have His people free. Verse 13.
You are free when you receive a word of the Lord.
Isaiah 61: 1 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed to preach good tidings to the poor, He has sent me to the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound”.
Jesus said to those who believed in Him,
“If abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:3132
He wants us free to serve and worship Him…
May your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ – I Thessalonians 5:23.
