How To Walk In Freedom

 

Endless ideas towards how a man can “be free” abound. Read this self-help book. Go to this guru or prophet. Say “the name of Jesus” repeatedly over a matter. Convince your mind that you can rise above your circumstances on your own. Indulge in drugs and alcohol in order to find escape. “Cast out demons” at every turn. Walk in a state of mental ascent where your imagination overrides your reality. Avoid laws and commands that demand you change literal behavior and write them off as "old and outdated."

Men, both secular and religious, have assembled infinite offerings towards how to walk in freedom. Intriguingly, the majority on both sides of the dividing fence of these two worlds despise the simple suggestion of the simple truth within today’s two verses. (Think on that for a moment, won’t you?)

You see, both parties have been sold a belief system that would agree that the Most High’s commandments are burdensome and detrimental. One side thinks that they’re just foolishness and irrelevant. Those “old laws” aren’t “for them.” And the other side? Well, they see Father’s commandments quite similarly, really. “Old laws” that were for someone else, not them. “Good for ‘those people.’” (Maybe.) People that they are not. They are free now, not like those poor "Old Covenant" People.

Literally living under the covenantal conditions that Yeshua and His disciples did is surely not freedom, right? (The post-Messiah Acts Assembly surely didn’t think so, but we won't tackle that today.)

It remains to be the time that those of us who have experienced the opening of our eyes to “the wonderful things of Father’s Torah” (Psalm 199:18) and the “burning hearts” of the Scriptures being opened up to us (Luke 24) must continue to stand, despite being increasingly misunderstood and ignored.

According to the Hebrew, the place provided by walking in Father’s commands is a “wide open space” that is “exceedingly broad.” As for me and my house, we will continue to believe the Word over man’s secular opinion and inherited Christian tradition. We’ve tasted far too much. We’ve walked here. It is absolutely what David said that It is. True freedom is found here.

My heart truly grieves over the confusion and delusion that so many walk within, towards this matter. False freedom abounds at every turn. Can you declare these verses today, with complete belief and agreement? I hope so. If not, would you please humbly consider why?

May Father graciously open the eyes of all others who are found willing to step out in faith and believe that today’s text is most assuredly true. "I will keep Your Torah continually, forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts." Selah.
