If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Our Father wants all of His children free from all forms of bondage. In the scripture above, the word 'indeed' is used to describe the kind of freedom God desires for all of us.
To be totally free, body, soul, and spirit, is the state from which man can give God acceptable worship. Israel can not remain in bondage to Pharaoh, and be the nation of God.
The wicked however, i.e. Pharaoh and all he represents, does not allow captives freedom without a fight. See his reaction to Moses demand for Israel's freedom.
- He increased their hardship. In the fifth chapter exodus they were asked to make bricks without straw.
- Next he asked them to go, and worship the Lord in Egypt. Exo.8:25.
- Then He asked them to go, but not too far . Exo.8:28
- After more plagues he asked only the men to go Exo.10:11
- In Exo. 10:24, he asked them to go, leaving their flocks behind. But Moses insisted on freedom, and freedom indeed. He said to pharaoh "Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind"
That my friends, is the kind of freedom Daddy wants for you. Free from all influences of Egypt, free from sicknesses and sin, all Egyptian ailments, free as men, women and families, free from financial bondages, free to worship our King.
Insist firmly on it, refuse partial freedom. You must possess all that our Lord died for.
