New Testament Scripture Reading: John 8:30 – 38 (KJV)
Joh 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Joh 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Joh 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Joh 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) Just as it was in the days of Jeremiah the Prophet of the Most High God, there will always be people professing to “know God” but they give advise based on their own personal desires and goals, rather than from the Word of God, the Scriptures, so it is today; this is why we must keep our minds filled with the Word of God so that we can experience true interior freedom based on what God has actually promised to us!
2) Regardless of how we are “physically”, “Circumstantially”, or “externally”, we can be free in the Spirit of God, because the outward appearance can be oppressive being manipulated by men and conditions, but the promises of the Word of God shall always prevail for us if we believe Him.
3) Jesus already knew that there would be some surface followers of Him who were not truly committed to His service because they are really only interested in the pleasures of this life and not to the overall, plans and purposes of God, Who gives vision to everyone who continues in His Word!
