We are not the same

Greetings! Gal 5:1 It is for our freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. I have had this conversation with numerous people this week, so I think it is something God wants me to share with you all. You know for many yrs I was an Alcoholic, a Drug Addict, a Thief, Liar and Deciever. But these were things I choose to be in life. Then I choose to ask Jesus to become the Lord and Savior of my life, even though he had already choose us when He went to the cross.But that's another tex. But what happened is when Jesus came into my life He changed me. And through a renewing of the mind, I no longer wanted to be those things any longer. Jesus had set me free from my old way of thinking and replaced it with a new way of thinking. He set me fee from all my old Hurt, Habits and Hangups. And through the help of his Holy Spirit I am no longer the person I used to be. You know I used to make fun of people when they would say, I found Jesus and now I'M A CHANGED MAN! But you really don't know hope true that is till you experience it. That is why today I don't like going to meetings where I have to introduce myself as Daniel and I'm an Alcoholic. Because I am no longer that person. Jesus came to set us Free, not only from sin and death, but from ourselves and our stupid choices we make. He frees us from the yokes of slavery that Satan wants to keep us in and makes us a new person in Him. You see I haven't had a drink in 4 yrs,so am I still an Alcoholic? No! Not unless I pick up another drink. Jesus came to show us a better life. One of change through Him. Theres and old saying in AA at the end of the meeting. They say, Keep coming back, it works if you work it! But I have kind of changed that to, Keep coming back, He'll Work If You Let Him! God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. But thanks to Jesus we don't have to be. HABD!
