Freedom From Bondage - Part 2

Let's continue with our teaching on being delivered from that which holds us captive. If you will take these scriptures and meditate on them, you will be set free from whatever has held you in bondage, regardless of how many years you have been in that situation or mindset.

According to Romans 8:15, we do not receive that spirit of bondage anymore to fear. Why? Because we have received the Holy Spirit, Who is the Spirit of adoption for us to the Heavenly Father. That means we have received the Spirit of Life Himself, our Heavenly Father.
Romans 8:15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Romans 8:15
For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!

The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Life, lives in us.
John 14:16-18
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—
17The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for HE LIVES WITH YOU [CONSTANTLY] AND WILL BE IN YOU. (Emphasis added)
18I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you.

And where the Holy Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, freedom.
2 Cor. 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom).

And we are to stand firm in our freedom and not be yoked again with the devil’s bondage.
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1
IN [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].

To avoid being put into bondage again, we keep the Word of God ever before us.
2 Cor. 3:18
And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.
