Caught, But Released, Thank You Jesus!
Caught, But Released, Thank You Jesus!
Many of us are remain bound by the legalism imputed by the world and religious piety this day!
So many serve God with lip service, but their heart is far from Him! Some believe that they are doing God a service, but do not realize that Jesus came to catch those who are lost, those who are in trouble, heading down the broad way that leads to destruction, Jesus came and saved us all from sin and shame!
I was a wretch undone - and I am not ashamed of where God has released me from - You see, many are losing themselves by trying to maintain the perception of what we imagine the world think of us, that is bondage!
Paul said to the Galatians, Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Although you were caught in the act! Caught with your pants down - Caught doing what you said you would not do any more!
Do not be entangled into that bondage again, do not allow what happen then, diffuse the fire God has awaken you to, Who lives in you and governs you!
The Holy Spirit!
You see, it is ok that you were caught, and came to Jesus, just as you were, because He has released you from the stain of guilt and shame, He has covered you with His Blood, so you have a right to Joy that is unspeakable!
Regardless of your wrong decisions, time after time, after time again, you have been captured by The Holy Spirit of God and He has released you from who you were, to go into who God has called you to be!
You see, the enemy desires to keep you in bondage to where you came from, but you are a new creature, behold, all things have become new!
And because God rescued me from all of the evils that I have done in my life, and has settled me right here in this season, in this dispensation of the fullness of time, I Am Thankful and it does not matter to me what the world thinks of me, God has released me from being bound to the cares of the world!
You see, many of us are getting Rapture Ready, which is ok, but in the meantime, operate as if you’ve already been raptured - “Catching Up” and give God all the praise that we will have to give Him in Heaven!
You see, Kingdom Freedom releases you from the chains of having to live up to those standards imputed by religious pious individuals!
Those same individuals whom do not even follow the rules they want to impute upon you!
But what they do not know; what the enemy does not know as he is right now before God accusing you and me, is that God has caught me up, but He has released me!
You see, when God catches you, He does so to clean you and then He releases you to be Him in the earth!
They thought Jesus was going to follow their religion when they brought the woman to Him, but Jesus released the woman by His Word that He spoke!
9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
The accusers of you have not realized that you do not have to answer to them, God Will on your behalf!
You see, there are times you just need to sit back and be quiet, let go and let God, He has already fought for you, the battle is already won!
The woman did not deny her wrong doing, she did not even say a word until Jesus asked her a question, she was caught, but Jesus released her!
Not only did He release her from being stoned to death, He released her from the bondage of her sins, and the fact that many would look at her as nothing!
Many are worried about people knowing where God has brought them from!
Paul says, I know a man - This man was him, but he realized that he had been caught up by The Holy Spirit of God! Taken up to the Third Heaven - he realized that he did not need to know, just that God had changed him!
He rested in the power of God - So he boasted not in his own, only in the Power Of God - God knows!
So the next time that thought, or the mind tries to condemn you because of where you came from!
Rise higher because God has caught you up and what the enemy thought would bring death and shame to you, God has turned it for your good!
He has released you with His Word! He told her to go, and sin no more!
In other words, I have released you from this charge, think no more on that, think on Me, your accusers are none because I have covered you, redeemed you by My Word and My Blood, I AM Jehovah Nissi!
You have The Victory in Me!
As Saul was breathing threats against the believers - Phillip went preaching and leading many to Christ!
There was a sorcerer named Simon - he convinced all to worship him - But when The Word of God went forth - he believed and followed The Apostles - But he was caught, not yet released - The Bible declares that he wanted to purchase the power of God - Peter rebuked him and told him to change his mind from wicked to Holy! Acts 8:21–23 (NKJV)21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”
Do not allow the bitterness to captivate you so that you remain bound in iniquity!
Seek The Righteousness of God and all the things you desire will be added unto you!
Jesus has “Raptured” me, cause me to see clearer now, and experience True Kingdom Freedom - So I can tell my story, how I was a wretch undone - I can tell you that A Change has come over me when He Raptured me! I’m caught up in His Love, right here on earth!
I refuse to live disappointed - His Promise is true and I believe in Him - So I keep on lifting up the Name of Jesus!
There is no name more powerful than CHRIST JESUS! So come what may, God did not create us to be disappointed, Thru Jesus The Christ; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 (NKJV) 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
We have been appointed for the deliverance, caught, but now released, Thank You Jesus For the releasing!
His Word has gone forth, therefore, it is so - I have hope that keeps me smiling - I have Joy that keeps me hoping - I have peace that keeps me faithful - God has released me from the guilt and shame!
He has covered me with The Blood of Christ! He has also Sent The Holy Spirit - Who has caught me up and the old me you do not see anymore because I am no longer bound but released!
Just as the Eunuch did not see Phillip any longer, probably because he has now been set free, released from those chains that were binding him keeping him in bondage - He went away rejoicing because I have found Jesus, I do not need anything else!
