2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV) 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As I was sitting at my desk working on a bunch of devotionals that pastor Ellie and I had written recently, this particular scripture popped into my head. So, I figured I\u2019d take a look at it and do some more writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I want to look at two things today; a cause and the effect of that cause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, let\u2019s clarify that a cause is really an action or a circumstance. The effect will be the result of that action or that circumstance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

First, the cause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The very first part of this scripture establishes one thing; that the Lord is the Spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now that this is established, we can move on to the actual cause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The cause (action or circumstance) is this; the presence of the Spirit of the Lord.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, what is the effect of the presence of the Spirit of the Lord?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There is liberty!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Liberty is a big word when it comes to what it can mean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Freedom, emancipation from bondage, divine privilege.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You see, God is a God who sets us free. He doesn\u2019t just \u201csave us\u201d. He wants to give us true freedom. Freedom from sin, freedom from anxiety, freedom from hopelessness, freedom from depression, freedom from oppression, and freedom from so many other things that would try to keep us tied down and bound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It isn\u2019t as complicated as so many might make it seem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The presence of God\u2019s Spirit equals liberty (freedom). Where the Spirit of God is, there can be no sin, no bondage, no depression, no anxiety, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Where these things do<\/em> exist, we need to invite and allow the Spirit of God to be present and to dwell in all of His fullness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then, and only then, will we see true freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
