John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
It’s been said, if an animal is in a cage too long, after a while, a person can open the door to the cage, but the animal won’t come out. The technical name for this is cage-bound. Someone could be attempting to free the animal, but the animal won’t go. Psychologically, the cage is the animal’s entire world and there’s no need for anything else.
Some believers have been cage-bound in their souls (mind, will, imagination, emotions, and intellect). Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Jesus freed us from sin, sickness, the curse, death, guilt, shame, condemnation, and all the works of the devil.
A cage-bound Christian is a person willing to accept or go back to anything Jesus freed us from. For instance, if a person receives guilt after they’ve missed the mark, they’re still cage-bound. The appropriate response after missing the mark is acknowledging that we’ve missed the mark and receive the forgiveness of God. Or, if a person receives sickness thinking it’s the Lord’s will to be sick, they’re a cage-bound Christian.
People of God, we’ve been freed. Now it’s up to us to walk out our freedom. Don’t allow sin, sickness, condemnation, or the rest of the devil’s devices to reside in your world. We’ve been freed from these things now, remain free indeed!
