I am no longer a slave to sin. I am a child of God.
I am no longer a slave to what others think. I am a child of God.
I am no long a slave to fear. I am a child of God.
I am no longer a slave to lies. I am a child of God.
I am no longer a slave disappointment. I am a child of God.
I am no longer a slave to comparison. I am a child of God.
I am no longer a slave to bitterness. I am a child of God.
I am no longer a slave…I am a child of God.
We shackle ourselves to too many things. We claim it is our “personality”. We claim it is “hereditary”. We claim it is “who I am”. We claim it is “where we are supposed to be”.
We are prisoners of our own choosing. Shackled and yet, holding the key of freedom in our hands.
Unlock the chains. Let them fall.
Whatever it is that weighs you down. Release it.
Stop holding onto things – to people – to dreams that leave you empty.
Begin to believe who you are in Christ.
You are God’s:
Possession
Child
Workmanship
Friend
Chosen
Witness
Beloved
Jewels
You have been:
Set free
Forgiven
Adopted
You are:
Complete in Him
Loved eternally
Light in the darkness
His sheep
Secure
Healed
Sheltered
Hidden
You have:
All things in Christ
A living hope
An anchor for your soul
Authority
Boldness and access
Peace
Mind of Chirst
Power
You can:
Do all things through Christ
Find mercy and grace
Come boldly to the throne
Quench the fiery darts
Declare liberty to captives
Pray always and everywhere
You are a child of God.
Thank you for sharing. I so often shackle myself. Not thinking or even remembering about the key. I need to release the chains that bind and remember who I am in Christ.
Lisa, we all need the gentle reminder every now and then.

Amen and Amen.
As a child of God we need to unlock the chain that is wrapped around our hearts. The chains that keep us from loving and trusting again. As a child of God we need to unlock the shackles from around our ankles that bind us in fear and keep us from going where God wants to send us. As a child of God we need to unlock the chains that tie our arms and hands to our sides with lack of empathy and compassion and keep us from being the hands of Christ in someone’s life.
I AM A CHILD OF GOD!!
