I find that often in blogging. Our mindsets are being set free and I hear you, that totally changes our lives. The old way, we were so focused on sin and bieng these holy people, now we just live life...isnt it grand? HE is in control and we work out what HE works in as a natural flow...Phil, 2:12 & 13 We are HIS workmanship, HIS responsibility and HE is a determinist, so the job will get done, in us and then through us, changing us... GLORY!!!! Blessings Connie Yes your right Cliff, often in writing there is a communication misunderstanding. I find that often in blogging.

Your points in your last comment are so true and written out of living this life. On the other hand the total freedom I speak of really has to to with total freedom from the thinking that I must do something to please my Father. Jesus said he would set us free and we would be free indeeed. Free from What? Free from the bondage of religion. Thanks again for your comments, you show incredible growth in this bold grace.

I am not sure of all this stuff about "we are totally free". Yes, I understand that one day we will experience full freedom, but right now we are experiencing some freedom and some bondage. We live a life of spirit and flesh. Is that not the way the SAVIOUR wants it or else HE would have made us totally free to begin with and we wouldnt be going through this time on earth as humans with bondages? It seems to me we have a weakness about accepting weakness.. Paul said "I glory in weaknesses", but we seem to want to positively think them away.. This journey were are all on I believe is all planned of GOD. THere are scriptures that say "All is of GOD". So experiencing bondage is part of the all. It has its purpose in humbling us and working HIS will in us, that we may experience HIS mercy. That is the way I see it right now and not feeling completely free does not diminish me, in fact it is part of HIS purpose to do HIS work in me. Just my thoughts for where I am now.... Connie Thanks for the comments.

Sue, I love your example of having to sit on your hands to keep from waving at everyone.......That's what bold grace will make you do.

When you realize just how free you are, you never want to go back to being controlled by religion. To be free to be who God created you to be. As my husband says...you feel so happy you have to sit on your hands to keep from waving at everyone. God is still showing me His love for me through people on these websites that have a heart for God and those He has put around us. A Sis-In-Christ, Connie, I totally agree with your comments.
