Set free!!!!

Have you allowed Jesus to set you free from the chains that enslave you?
What are you chained to?
Are you chained to fear? Are you chained to control? Are you chained to constant chaos in your inner man? Are you chained to addiction? Are you chained to lies? Are you chained to others opinions? Are you chained to religion? Are you chained to manipulation in order to control others? Are you chained to the past? Are you chained to fear of the future? Are you chained to you "aren't good enough?" or are you chained to "I deserve better"? Are you chained to your self? Self-centered and/or self-righteous? Are you chained to bitterness? Are you chained to a judgmental attitude? Are you chained to unkindness? Are you chained to depression? Are you chained to obsessive and compulsiveness? Are you chained to anger? Are you chained to your emotions going up and down- like a vicious roller coaster?
What are you chained to?
Are you chained to your physical limitations? Are you chained to sickness? Are you chained to pessimism? Are you chained to negativity? Are you chained to rejection? Are you chained to a belief system? Are you chained to your emotions? Are you chained to deception? Are you chained to a wrong concept about God, yourself and others? Are you chained to your expectations? Are you chained to your rights? Are you chained to your experiences (either good or bad)?
What are you chained to?
Are you chained to possessiveness? Are you chained to money, clothes, car, house, job, your body, people or any other thing that is temporary? Are you chained to envy, lust, desire? Are you chained to being fake? Are you chained to telling others instead of God? Are you chained to avoiding conflict or are you chained to starting conflict? Are you chained to worry? Are you chained to anxiety? Are you chained to excuses? Are you chained to pride?
What are you chained to?
Because you don't have to....
Yes, it's that simple.
You don't have to be.
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed" Jesus, reading from Isaiah
John 8:36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Galatians 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
