*From Bro. Scott,
>>>Freedom
(Acts 22:28 KJV)  And the chief captain answered, With a great sum =
obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
>>>Evil Locks, Evil Bonds that hold us away from true freedom.
Some don't realize it for a while, but we all at some point realize
that = we and those around us have the Mark of Our Evil Master upon
us. We Try to hide our shame, our servanthood, with a coke and a
smile, a = beer and  a laugh, a smoke and a confident and proud look.
 We put forth = the Image that we are in control, when we know we are
not. We know that smile is not real, and you don't real like coke
anyway, We = know that we gotta have that smoke, we know that we
gotta have that = drink, and we know that we are not as good as we
put on.
We are bound, we are Slaves, Slaves of Our Evil Rulers.
But before we can fight like we need to fight we must defeat that sin
= that is in our own backyard, in our own secret places. =20

Brothers and sisters, This is very true today for some of our
precious saints.  We must work together in order to be able to break
trough the brick facade and root out the problem underneath.  God
died to give us freedom, not bondage.  it is our choice to mess
around with the bonds of the world.  And as I heard at youth Congress
1995 in Little Rock, Ar., it surrounds you one string at a time and
eventually it will bind you so tight that it turns into a ball and
chain (the ball and chain I added).

>>>The First Battle for Freedom has already been fought.

Oh yes how true this is.  As Bro. Phillips said here in the post that
(I deleted the part) Jesus gave his life in the battle to overcome
sin and through his resurection gained eternal victory.  All we have
to do is just accept it.

>>We must die daily, We must beat our bodies under subjection, We
must = walk in the spirit, We Must Love one another, We must put on
all of our =Armor, We must?Or we will at some point find ourselves in
>>>a prison, in bonds, in = shackles, Slaves AGAIN.
************************
this part of his post contributes to daily warfare in the spirit
relm.  Paul constantly fought against his flesh ( I don't have my
bible with me today or I would give a couple references) daily and
from what I can read, almost lost except for the mercy of God.  This
part of finding ourselves in a prison, or bonds, shackles, is what I
have found myself in quite frequently as probably many also have in
the past or present.  If I can just convince myself to let go and let
God have control, Things might actually run a little smoother. I am
not saying that it would be smooth sailing, but that we wouldnt be
taking on as much water.
