"Tools" to help you Find Freedom In Christ
(material from Neil T. Anderson's "Freedom In Christ" ministries)

Galatians 5:1
"It was for freedom that Christ set us free, therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery"

If you have received Christ as your Savior, He has already set you free through His victory over sin and death on the cross.
The question is: Are you living victoriously in Christ's freedom...or are you living in bondage, however subtle or strong?
Christ offers you freedom from personal and spiritual conflicts, freedom from sin and the negative programming of your past, freedom from the damaging effects of guilt and unforgiveness.
Freedom opens the pathway to knowing, loving, worshiping and obeying God.
It is the joyful experience of living by faith according to what God says is true, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. And it means not carrying out the desires of the flesh. It does not mean perfection, but it is a growing and abundant life in Christ who alone can meet our deepest need for life, identity, acceptance, security and significance.
If you are not experiencing this life of freedom, it may be because you have not stood firm in the faith or lived according to who you are in Christ. Somehow you have returned again to a yoke of slavery (see Galatians 5:1). Your eternal destiny is not at stake, but your daily victory is.
No matter how difficult you life might be, there is great news for you. You are not a helpless victim caught between two nearly equal but opposite heavenly superpowers. Satan is a liar and a deceiver, and the only way he can have power over you is if you believe his lies. Only God is omnipotent (all powerful), omnipresent (always present), and omniscient (all knowing). Sometimes the reality of sin and the presence of evil may seem more real than the presence of God, but that's part of satan's deception. Satan is a defeated foe, and we are alive in Christ.

There is a battle going on for your mind - the control center of all that you think and do.
The battle for your mind can only be won as you personally choose truth. - God's Truth.
Exposing satan's lie out loud (negative thoughts, condemning thoughts, etc)...with God's Word, God's Truth.
It is important to know and remember that satan is under no obligation to obey your thoughts.
Only God has complete knowledge of your mind, because only He alone is omniscient (all knowing).
You can submit to God inwardly, but you need to resist the devil (satan) verbally...out loud - in Jesus' name.

One of the ways of gaining and maintaining your freedom can be found by reading the books, "Victory Over The Darkness" and "The Bondage Breaker" (available at Christian bookstores, and can be ordered on alot of online bookstores)...reading God's Word, Prayer, believing God's Word (no matter what), making new choices, etc.
Both of these books are also available on Audio Book (cassette tape)...the audio books are alittle more condensed, but just as good.
I have both read the books, and listened to the audio books.

"Victory Over The Darkness"
It's Jesus' promise to you - the promise that you live triumphantly. But what keeps you from really walking in the joy of the Lord? The powers of darkness attack us daily. But, you can have the power to conquer them by knowing who you are in Christ.
* Realize the power of your identity in Christ
* Free yourself from the burdens of your past
* Stand against the spiritual forces of this world
* Win the battle for your mind
* Become the spiritual person you want to be
* Discover the truth about God's view of you
It spells out practical and productive ways to experience Christian growth based on Christ's promise. Learn to apply the truths of Scripture as a base from which to renew your mind and become the person Christ empowers you to be.

"The Bondage Breaker"
You don't know how you ended up in such a mess - locked in habits you can't seem to break or caught in sin. You're a Christian, and this sort of thing doesn't happen to Christians...or so you've been told.
The Bible warns repeatedly that all Christians will struggle against satan and his spiritual forces of darkness. While the spiritual conflict that churns within you is very real, the answers are just as tangible.
The Bondage Breaker reveals the whys and hows of spiritual warfare and exposes satan's battle for your mind.
The Bondage Breaker shares the powerful truth that will break even the most stubborn or private sins.
Learn the truth of who you are in Christ and what it means to be a child of God. Knowing your spiritual identity and position in Christ is the essential truth that will set you free.


I have lived in bondage...and I have experienced Freedom in Christ (with the help of these books).
These books revealed things to me that I was never aware of.
