TRUE FREEDOM FROM INTERNAL BONDAGE JOHN 8:31, 32 è Assent vs True Faith è True Freedom’s Source …. “If you abide, stay connected, continue in My word” è 3 Roots of Bondage • PRIDE  Self-sufficient, independent, disobedient  “I know what I want and what’s best for me” – refuse to admit my dependency and submit to His leadership • FEAR  Loss, lack, death, failure, rejection • 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. “It was for FREEDOM that CHRIST has set us free!!” (Galatians 5:1)
