And behold, you (Mary) will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.

Luke 1:31-33

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel.”

Matthew 1:22-23

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:1-2

 

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

We are free from:

  • Justifying ourselves

  • Shame

  • Guilt

  • Condemnation

  • Sin

  • Addiction

  • Fear

God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7


You foolish Northern Virginians! (Galatians!) Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.  I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?  Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?

Galatians 3:1-3

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:5

TRUTHS

  1. God is who He says He is

  2. God will do what He says He will do

  3. We are who God says we are

  4. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us

  5. God’s Spirit is alive and active within us transforming us into His image

We are free to:

  • Live out our Destiny

  • Complete good works prepared in advance for us to do

  • Reflect God and Shine!

  • Be agents of Reconciliation (Olive Branches)

  • Love God and Others with our whole hearts
