I Will Die Free

I will die free. No matter where I am or what is happening to me when i die, I will be free.
Wait a second! What if I'm a captive, a total slave-prisoner? I'll be a free slave, captive or prisoner!

Why? Because man's bonds, no matter how strong they are, have absolutely no effect on a Christian's freedom.
I am the one who makes the decision of whether or not I will be free; the choice is totally up to me.
I can let circumstances rule me-I can let the emotional results of whatever happens control me-I can give up, dispair, decide that I'll never be happy again-and be a prisoner on the inside and out.
Or I can be a prisoner on the outside-be bound with physical chains-and yet on the inside I can be as free as the wind. My will, my heart, my dreams are things that no man can control-unless I let them.
I'd rather die a prisoner~free, than live a free prisoner!
I've seen people-men and women with great talant, great power-rich in everything the world offers-they have everything that they could ever want; no tells them what to do-yet they're unhappy, restless, sad, depressed. Why?
They're only free on the outside; on the inside they're bound with chains of sin-doubting, disparing prisoners of Satan!

Sometimes us Christians fall asleep at the post-we let the Devil begin to make us prisoners in our hearts. When this happens we have a choice to make: We can let him go ahead and tie us down because "It's too late. I'm too far gone. I'm discouraged." or we can, right then and there, decide: "I will die free!"

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." John 8:36

"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
