Gen yon pasaj anndan Bib la ke anpil moun souvan itilize konsènan libète, sitou predikatè k’ap preche konsènan viktwa Jezi Kris te ranpòte sou lakwa. Bondye fonksyone selon verite Pawòl Li. Verite pa jis sòti nan Bondye. Bondye se verite. Lavi sòti nan Bondye atravè verite Pawòl la ki sòti nan bouch Li.

Anplis, Li akonpli volonte-L’ atravè Pawòl ke-L’ deklare ki se verite. Pou yon moun resevwa lavi sa, fòk li amonize lavi-l’ ak verite sa. Satan ki se yon mantè depi nan kòmansman ki pèdi relasyon-l’ ak Bondye aprè rebelyon-l’ ak pil akolit yo nan syèl la vin jwenn li nan yon eta kote-l’ mouri-l’ spirityèlman. Li vin jwenn tèt li anba kondanasyon ke Bondye te enpoze sou li. 

Pwiske Satan konnen ke volonte Bondye, relasyon-L’ ak Kreyati-a, tout benediksyon ak pwovizyon-L’ kache atravè Pawòl la, metòd ke-l’ itilize pou-l’ te rann lòm dekonekte vi-l’ ak Bondye se sedwi-l’ atravè desepsyon pou-l’ rejete verite-a. Rejte vetire Pawòl la vle di rejte lavi. Lè-w’ rejte lavi, sa-w’ jwenn se lanmò.

Depi aprè lòm fin tonbe nan rebelyon, vin gen yon konfli ant volonte Bondye ki baze sou laverite ak pil desepsyon ke Satan ap bonbade lavi lòm lan ak yo. Gen yon deklarasyon ke Jezi fè ke nou pral analize-l’.

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).

Konn verite-a, li va libere-w’.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:36).

Kesyon pou-n’ ta poze èske se jis konn verite-a sèlman, konnen-l’ nan yon sans mantal ki libere moun?

Non, paske gen anpil moun k’ap viv nan esklavaj nan yon domèn nan lavi yo pandan ke yo konn verite-a.

Gen anpil moun ki egare nan peche yo, ki anchene pa Satan pandan ke gen yon nivo verite ke yo konnen de sa Pawòl la di konsènan fason yo dwe viv. Anpil fwa, yo chwazi menm pou yo rejte verite-a akoz verite-a pa dakò ak vi ke yo vle mennen. Verite ke yo konnen-an vin antere nan panse yo anba peche. Yo pa bay verite-a yon chans pou-l’ transfòme lavi yo.

Gen Kretyen, pastè, evanjelis, moun ke nou pa ta janm panse ki nan esklavaj pandan ke yo non sèlman gen Pawòl la nan men yo, men yo konn Pawòl la byen. Yo esklav peche pandan ke yo konnen anpil verite.

Genyen ki menm ap preche yon levanjil ki pa reflete reyalite vi yo. Y’ap preche libète, Bondye ka libere, y’ap pale de pwisans Bondye, pandan ke yo menm y’ap viv nan esklavaj pou tèt pa yo.

Y’ap ekzòte moun. Y’ap pale konsènan mennen yon vi sen pandan ke vi y’ap mennen ke moun pa wè-a pa an amoni ak sa y’ap prezante-a. Y’ap pale konsènan retou Kris la pandan ke yo menm yo pa pare.

Verite Ak Ipokrizi

Gen sitiyasyon ke moun sa yo jwenn tèt yo sitou lè yo nan yon anviwonman Kretyen, sa rann ke gen bagay fok yo di-l’. Men anndan fon kè yo, yo konnen ke gen yon gran dekoneksyon ak enpresyon y’ap bay nan prezans Kretyen yo ak vi ke y’ap mennen lè yo nan yon anviwonman ke moun ki konnen yo pa wè yo. Kidonk, vi ke y’ap mennen an sekrè se yon lòt bagay ak sa y’ap prezante. 

Yo gen 2 idantite. Yon fo idantite Kretyen lè yo nan prezans Kretyen ak yon idante dyab lè yo pou kont yo.

Kidonk, y’ap bay enpresyon ke yo lib de tout vye enfliyans dyabolik pandan ke yo anchene. Pandan yo gen peche nan lavi ke yo poko janm pote viktwa sou yo.

Kesyon pou-n’ ta poze, èske se konnen moun sa yo pa konn verite? Non.

Si-n’ ap eseye ouvri yon ti parantèz, gen anpil doktè ak enfimyè ki konnen ke sigarèt se yon bagay ki ranpli ak tout kalite sibstans toksik ladan-l’ ki pa bon pou sante moun, men malgre sa yo fimen-l’ kanmenm.

Yo esklav yon bagay pandan ke yo konnen-l’ pa bon.

Kòman Yon Moun Kapab Jwen Libète

Pasaj sa vrè fason pou-n’ enteprete-l’ fò-n’ sipòte-l’ ak lòt pasaj ki pale konsènan obeyisans..

But He said, “Happy rather are those who hear God’s Word and put it into practice.” (Luke 11:28).

Anyone who listens to the Word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do (James 1:23).

Bondye fè lom lan menm yon fason pou-l’ te soumèt li anba otorite-L’. Relasyon lòm ak Bondye te baze sou obeyisans. Kidonk, obeyisans se eleman ki ta pral detèmine kalite vi ke lòm lan t’ap genyen ak privilèj ke-l’ te ka kontinye ap jwi nan Bondye.

Men dezobeyisans oubyen rebelyon ki se yon ak ki enfliyanse pa Satan aktive yon lòt pwisans nan lavi lòm lan.

Ou esklav vis sa ke-w’ mal pou kite-l’ la paske-w’ chwazi pou soumèt volonte-w’ ak sa-w’ esklav la. Ou chwazi pou obeyi movèz enfliyans k’ap egzèse sou ou-a.

Pou-w’ jwenn libète fò-w’ chwazi reziste bagay sa atravè soumet ou a verite ki pwomèt ou libète.

Pawòl Bondye-a gen pwisans pou-l’ libere-w’ nan kèlkeswa vi peche ke-w’ kole ladan-l’. Pwisans sa se obeyisans ou ki ka aktive-l’ nan lavi-w’.

Obeyisans oubyen soumisyon-w’ anba otorite Pawòl la se sa-k’ pwoteksyon-w’ kont tout pyèj dyab la. 

Bondye fonksyone nan lavi yon moun atravè obeyisans. Satan opere oubyen kontwole vi lòm lan atravè dezobeyisans ki se peche. Se sa-k’ fòs oubyen enèji dyab la pou-l’ domine vi sa yo k’ap viv nan rebelyon.

Kòman Verite-a Ka Libere Yon Moun

Verite-a ap libere-w’ lè-w’ kite-l’ devni reyalite lavi-w’. Se lè-w’ kite-l’ manifeste nan lavi-w’ atravè mete-l’ an aplikasyon.

Mete-l’ an aplikasyon se aji sou li. Se kite-l’ gide-w’ atravè desizyon ke ou ap fè. Fò-w’ fe yon desizyon ak yon aksyon.

Men si-w’ kontinye ap fè menm bagay ke-w’ te konn ap fè ki rann ou esklav, ou ap toujou rete nan esklavaj.

——–

Peche ke lòm komèt kont Bondye ki baze sou fè yon bagay ki kont volonte Bondye vin kreye yon tandans pou lòm lan toujou ap dezire bagay ki deyò volonte Bondye pou lavi-l’ ki koze lanmò. Se tandans sa ki defini nati peche ki vin devlope nan lòm lan ki pase de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.

Kidonk, lè lòm lan aji sou tandans sa, kò-l’ ak panse-l’ vin devlope yon depandans sou peche.

Kris bay lavi-L’ pou-L’ te refè lòm lan.

Men are trying to go beyond the laws of God which are as sacred as Himself; in other words, they are trying to go beyond God Himself with such a fierce determination to do what the Creator doesn’t want them to do, to have things He doesn’t want them to have, or to enjoy things that go against the very fabric of their being.

If God was a major obstacle that stood in their way in the sense that He was to physically block them to do what they want, they would have just run Him over if they could.

——–

When thinking about the atonement of Christ Jesus, you have no doubt in your mind that this was done to set you free from sins in order to make it possible for you to be able to live a victorious, holy, and righteous life for the glory of God.

Additionally, this atonement was intended to set you free from sinful lifestyles or behaviors that God didn’t create you to lead in the first place.

You read the Bible, you’ll see Scriptures after Scriptures affirming your victory over sin, the flesh, the world, and Satan.

During your life, you’ve already listened to many preachers preaching with authority and boldness over and over about that victory.

They’ve preached about the fact that it’s a finished work, you need nothing else other than what was done on the cross on your behalf. If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.

But after all, you still find yourself in a deep struggle with a particular sin that you cannot seem to overcome. It’s as if there’s a huge disconnect between the reality of that atonement and the reality that surrounds your life.

Why is all of that?

From a church-setting perspective, those living in sin can be classified as followed:

1) There are many people living in sin who have no intent at all to repent. Sadly, these people don’t even seem to be concerned at all about the deadly consequences of sin.

It could be that they just don’t want to do so due to their own deep comfort in their sins.

They have become fully convinced that their sinful behaviors are just normal to the extent that they start misinterpreting Scriptures for justification.

From their perspective, those who hold a strict biblical belief are the ones who don’t get it.

That’s the case for those being entangled in sexual immorality, such as homosexuality, premarital sex, pornography, and even adultery.

Or it could also be that they just have never been led to repentance of their sins as a result of cowardly preachers who don’t want to preach the true gospel.

These preachers have chosen to embrace a liberal approach concerning dealing with sin in order to appease people.

2) There are those living in sin who understand they are living in sin and the need to repent. But they just don’t want to make a decision now.

Strangely, these individuals tend to have a last resort plan of repentance. It’s always way after they have soaked up all the pleasures they want to enjoy their sins.

As for now, the time of repentance, they feel completely unready to do so because of their unwillingness to let go of something they have been dependent on.

If instant total freedom from their sins was available for them to just receive by faith, they wouldn’t need it.

In short, they have a Satan-given mission to fulfill in their sins based on getting that very last instant gratification, they cannot come to repentance until that mission is fulfilled.

They will never get it since that instant gratification doesn’t exist.

3) There are those living in sin who desperately want to overcome their sin once for all but find themselves being unable to do so.

Even if they try to break free, then they find themselves back in that sin. Oftentimes, it has become an ongoing cycle.

They are bound with chains of darkness by the devil; as a result, they cannot move beyond the length of these chains.

What happens is that they are swaying back and forth from wanting to overcome that sin and not wanting to do so.

When they make a decision to stop, they experience an intense desire to put a complete stop to that behavior once for all, particularly when thinking about how that sin has become a serious impediment to their spiritual lives.

However, when they make a foolish decision to go back, it unleashes such a massive desire within which compels them to try get back every bit of pleasure they have lost during the time they had abstained from such sin.

At this point, they just don’t want to overcome that sin.

4) There are those who find themselves in situations where the very person they are in a marriage relationship with will be away for a certain amount of time repeatedly, they’ve come up with a backup plan to satisfy their momentary urges within these times.

It could that one of them has an occupation that requires him or her to be away for an extended amount of time. Therefore, the other one tries to fill in the blank with someone else in the meantime.

The tendency is that they must be connected to something sinful.

5) Lastly, there are those who have victoriously come out of their sins by the power of God and are leading a holy and righteous life in His sight.

They are the ones enjoying the beauty of living a redeemed, fulfilled, and liberated life.

Where do you see yourself fit among these 5 groups of individuals?

——

Your mind is like something that was out of shape. Your responsibility is to straighten it with the Word. The moment you stop renewing your mind, it will try to revert to its initial state.

Sinful experiences get to be registered in the mind like a film that can be played back in the form of reality. You can visualize yourself re-enjoying the act on the basis of what was registered in the mind.

When the flesh is in rage, it’s like there’s an intense contraction taking place within.
