Total Freedom - Peter Hockley

Jesus preached that He was the fulfilment of the Year of Jubilee. He has come to set us free from all bondage and captivity: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord... And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:18-21). "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16). The Dictionary defines FREEDOM as: (1) The power to act, speak or think as one wants. (2) The absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government. (3) The state of not being imprisoned or enslaved. (4) The state of being unrestricted; able to move freely. John 8:31-36: "Jesus said:“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him: “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin, and a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” TOTAL FREEDOM means: (1) Freedom for ANYONE (John 6:37, Romans 10:13). (2) Freedom from ANYTHING (Matthew 28:18, Philippians 2:10-11). (3) Freedom from EVERYTHING (John 7:23, 1Thessalonians 5:23). (4) Freedom FOREVER (Exodus 14:13, Galatians 5:1). Jesus asks you: “Do you want to be made well (made whole)?” (John 5:6).
