Breaking Free Updated Edition (Week 3)

This week marks the third week of studying Breaking Free Updated Edition by Beth Moore. What a journey it has been so far! Last week we talked about the benefits that God extends to His children. These blessings are not given to us for perfect behavior, but because we seek and know Him. God loves us all so much that He wants us to be complete in Him! How awesome is that! I am truly humbled every time I read 1 Corinthians 2:9 and realize what God has for His children, who are so undeserving because of sin. Yet, He loves us to much that He gave the ultimate sacrifice, the life of Jesus, His son, so that we may be saved and know Him if we just place our faith in Him. Wow! How truly amazing!

This week we will begin taking the first step to finding freedom from the bondage in our lives. As Beth told us, it begins with freedom from self-delusion. We need to know the truth in our own lives. Sometimes it is hard to face the truth, but it is a necessary first step if we are to find freedom in our lives. Not only do we need to know what our truth is, but we must be able to recognize Satan’s lies as well.  Lies are his favorite tactic to pull believers into captivity, and this is what he seeks to do. 1 Peter 5:8 tells us that “Satan prowls around like a roaring lion seeking to steal, kill, and destroy.” Ladies, that means us! We must know his tactics in order to avoid them! One way to do that is to be honest with ourselves and live transparently. When we need help, we need to cry out to God. He will be there!

We need to see ourselves through God’s eyes, and the best way to do that is to be firm in His Word. That is how we can know His truth, and apply it to our lives.  This is where we begin to find freedom. I hope that as you work through the study this week, you begin to seek to know both your truth, and God’s truth. May this be the first step to freedom! If there is every anything specific I can pray for, please let me know. I would love to intercede before our Father for you.

Prayer Requests

Lord, you love us abundantly, in more ways than our human minds will ever be able to comprehend. Thank you for loving us who are so unworthy, yet grateful for your love. I ask that you be with each of this week as we work through this study. Show us truth, and open our eyes to what we need to change and areas where we need to find freedom. Teach us, Lord. In your sweet, precious name I pray, amen.

What does your truth look like? How does it compare to God’s truth? How can we integrate the two to find true freeom?
