Following Jesus


We were never designed to function independently from God.
The oldest lie is promoted by Satan - "...you will be like God.." -Gen 3:4,5
Temptation is the desire to live
  independently from God. The battle for the throne in our lives has been won by Jesus, He is God.
Bumper sticker -"There is a God & you are not Him!"
If we desire true spiritual freedom we need to deny ourselves (desire to be in charge) take up the cross & follow Jesus - Luke 9:23
Following Jesus produces freedom & spiritual authority to deliver us from self-seeking. Jesus is the King He shares power with nobody... surrender brings The Father's  blessing & favour
