è Review è 3 Roots of Bondage • PRIDE Self-sufficient, independent, disobedient “I know what I want and what’s best for me …. and you” – refuse to admit my dependency and submit to His leadership • FEAR Loss, lack, death, failure, rejection (that I won’t meet the expectations of others) Results: Control/Manipulations; retreat What we greatly fear, we attract • SHAME: Retreat, Isolate, Run and Repeat We need revelation of GRACE – How He sees us • DECEPTION/UNBELIEF THE root of all Bondage and brokenness is a failure or refusal to believe and deeply connect with a promise in the Word of God. (John 8:31, 32) Hebrews 3:7-19 …. After 40 years of seeing His faithfulness, miracles, deliverance and incredible grace, His people refused to take the next step of faith and GO FORWARD! (See Hebrews 3:12, 13, 19 …. God called this evil) è The root of unbelief is broken by ABIDING (connecting, and staying connected to His Word. • Pride …. John 15:5 Without Me, you can do NOTHING! Luke 14:11 …. If I exalt myself, I will be humbled Admit …. Total dependency, ownership (1 Corinthians 6:19) Submit …. To His leadership (Proverbs 3:5, 6) • Fear …. Connecting with His LOVE (1 John 4:18; John 17:23, 26) • Shame, guilt, inferiority …. Hebrews 10:16, 17; 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21; Ephesians 1:3-5; Romans 8:31 “It was for FREEDOM that CHRIST has set us free!!” (Galatians 5:1)
