How would I have known that I was lost

Had you not searched and found me?

How would I have known that I was blind

Had you not made me see?

How would I have known my bleeding

'Til You bound Your love around me?

How would I have groaned my slavery. Until you set me free?

Benefits to us His children

To know God and believe in Him

To glorify God

To find satisfaction in God

To experience god's peace

To enjoy God's presence

Happiness is circumstances//joy abides all the time

God will supply all my needs WHY LOOK ELSEWHERE

Peace comes in situations completely surrendered to the sovereign authority of Christ--and is paved with knee prints SO WEHRE DO I NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME

Obstacles of freedom/ freedom

1. Unbelief/ to know God and believe in Him

2. Pride is what I did not what God did / to glorify God

3. Idolatry/ to find sastifaction in God

4. Prayerlessness/ to experience Gods peace

5. Legalism/ to enjoy Gods presence

Focus on Christ-rules will take care of themselves

Dialogue with God when you read His work, respond to His scripture and discuss it with Him, pray his word DONT JUST SAY THE WORDS

God is my only guraantee. The knower of all my needs is the sole meeter of all my needs. Only He can fully and wholly provide.

Behind every unfaithful generation and faithful generation is one person determined to change. WHY NOT BE THAT PERSON

We learn what we see DONT BE A STUMBLING BLOCK

FORGIVENESS MEANS HANDING OVER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF JUSTICE TO GOD

situations (like abuse) may be painful but dont let them have power over you

We can step boldly to His throne for mercy and unconditional love THANK YOU JESUS

LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN IS ABOUT CHANGE

GOD SURPASSES OUR DREAMS WHEN WE REACH PAST OUR PERSONAL PLANS AND AGENDAS TO GRAB THE HAND OF CHRIST AND WALK THE PATH HE CHOSE FOR ME. HE IS OBLIGATED TO KEEP ME DISSATSIFIED UNTIL I COME TO HIM AND HIS PLAN FOR COMPLETE SASTIFACTION

We can be blessed by God and filled with His favor at some of the most difficult moments of our lives.

We make life so much more complicated when our approach to life is "all about me". Because the rest of the world never cooperates.

Key to freedom is obediance

YOU CAN NOT SURVIVE THE LOSS OF GODS LOVE

FOR THE BELIEVER THE FIRST STEP TO FREEDOM FROM ANY STRONGHOLD IS AGREEING WITH GOD CONCERNING PERSONAL SIN INVOLVED

actions are the reality of our hearts, we demonstrate our love for God by wht we given to Him

WILL OF GOD IS THE ONLY STRONGHOLD THAT FREES WHEN IT BINDS
