the spirit of liberty

Satan is a binder and when he does, the result is bondage/captivity. (Luke 13:16); he exists to put God's people in bondage and captivity by stealing, killing and destroying (John 10:10). Essentially, the spirit of the devil operates with the sole aim of bringing mankind into bondage to himself. The primary way the devil does this is by sowing the seed of corruption, through sin, into man. Every seed of corruption sown successfully by the devil into the life of any man will yield an harvest of bondage to himself . Until corruption is sown, bondage is not achievable. The bondage of corruption is set in motion by the law of sin and death. The stealing, killing and destroying work of the devil is achieved through the strategy of the law of sin and death.

However, the good news to mankind is that Jesus Christ came to undo all the works of bondage the devil did unto mankind.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

The devil came for the stealing, the killing and the destruction of all the goods that God has perfected in mankind. Nevertheless, Jesus Christ came to restore all that the devil has stolen, killed or destroyed by giving abundant life to mankind . The abundant life that Jesus offers operates by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

The manifestation of Jesus Christ is for the undoing of all the works of the devil.

1 John 3:8 [8]He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

The devil introduced corruption for bringing mankind into bondage but Jesus Christ came on the scene to destroy all his works by bringing liberty. Jesus Christ came to set the captives free.

THE DEVIL IS A BONDAGE MAKER ; JESUS CHRIST IS A BONDAGE BREAKER.

Luke 13:12,16 [12]And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, WOMAN , THOU ART LOOSED from thine infirmity. [16]And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, WHOM SATAN HATH BOUND , lo, these eighteen years, BE LOOSED FROM THIS BOND on the sabbath day?

Satan binds, Jesus looses. Satan steals, Jesus restores ; satan kills, Jesus makes alive ; satan destroys, Jesus constructs.

WHAT IS THE SPIRIT OF LIBERTY?

(1) The Spirit of liberty is the Holy Spirit upon Jesus Christ, bringing liberty to the captives .

Luke 4:18 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME , because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, TO SET AT LIBERTY them that are bruised,

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and HEALING ALL THAT WERE OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL ; for God was with him.

(2)The Spirit of liberty is the Spirit of Christ bringing salvation (LIBERATION) to mankind .

Philippians 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST ,

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST , he is none of his.

(3) The Spirit of liberty is the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Isaiah 61:1 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME.... ..... TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES , and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

(4) The Spirit of liberty is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

(5) God Himself is the Spirit of liberty ; for God is a Spirit.

John 4:24 GOD IS A SPIRIT : and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Psalms 18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

Psalms 68:6 [6]God setteth the solitary in families: HE BRINGETH OUT THOSE WHICH ARE BOUND WITH CHAINS : but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Psalms 146:7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. THE LORD LOOSETH THE PRISONERS :

HOW THE SPIRIT OF LIBERTY WORKS.

The Spirit of liberty is accessed only through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the way of liberty(John 14:6), the truth that makes free (John 8:32)and the life of liberty (John 10:10; Romans 8:2).No one can access the liberty that is in God except through Jesus Christ.
Seeing Jesus Christ is seeing God the Father.

John 14:9

Jesus saith........ . he that hath seen me hath seen the Father....

The Spirit of liberty is wrapped up in Jesus Christ the Son by God the Father. It is as Jesus Christ is revealed that we experience the Spirit of liberty.

SONSHIP AND ADOPTION.

Sonship and adoption through Jesus Christ is the only way designated by God for the liberty of mankind from the bondage of corruption.

Romans 8:15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Spirit of adoption is the Spirit of liberty. We are no longer slaves to the devil by being adopted as sons into the family of God. We become God's children and the Spirit of adoption is granted to us.

Galatians 4:6

[6]And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

As sons of God, the Spirit of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, is resident on the inside of us. We are no longer owned by the devil, the binder. We now belong to God.
The Spirit of liberty sets us free from the devil and gives us access to the liberty that is in Christ.

Romans 8:21
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

In Christ, we have been delivered from the bondage of corruption ; we are now in the glorious liberty of God's children. We function from our position of glorious liberty by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus for our glorious destinies.

In conclusion, we are called unto liberty in Christ and we live in liberty by the Spirit of Christ. It is our responsibility to stand firm in this liberty and being not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

We obtain grace to be firm in our liberty in Christ by the Spirit of liberty, in the name of Jesus Christ.

...................................... GLORIOUS CONFESSION :
