Be Free from Others Sin

Don’t let others’ sin against you have control over you or have power over you. These trespasses can be hurtful, painful, and traumatic; but they are not your master. You have been made free, no longer a slave to your sin or others sin against you. They have no hold on you. Walk in your authority! You are a child of God, a heir in his kingdom. Speak, walk, and be in your authority at all times. Stay close to God, his righteousness, and his kingdom. God, the Father, is fighting this battle for you and with you; give him the battle and trust in him for victory.

John 1: 12-13

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Romans 8: 14-17

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

2 Chronicles 20:15 (NIV)

He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 

Nahum 1:7

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.

John 8: 31-32

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 8: 34-36

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Continue to persevere, never going away from God. Isolation can be the prelude to defeat. That’s where sin crawls in and wallows. That’s where self-pity and bitterness meet and intermingle. That’s where anxiety and depression flood the gates of your mind. Confined to the sin that brought you here and the sins that keep you chained down. Break out of it, don’t dwell and stew. The purpose of God’s kingdom is to help keep you away from hell. The purpose of God’s word is to be made new. Let his word restore you. Let his truth put back the broken pieces of your heart.

Matthew 6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Philippians 4:6-7

...do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 10:5

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Do not let the world pollute the things that God has created. God is the creator, originator, author, and truth. Nothing that God creates is purposed for bad, but it can become that way in this world. Change your mind to see people, life, things, and the world how God sees it and saw it originally. Anything that God provisions for you, will never be given to harm you but refine you.

Genesis 1:31

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 

Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

God is writing a story through you for other women and men that you will encounter. Your journey gives glory to God. Your testimony speaks of victory, triumph, and restoration. Do not let the devil silence your voice. Speak the truth, tell your testimony, and be open with where you are. Remember that you are a warrior in God’s army and cannot be defeated even by the greatest giants you are facing.

Proverbs 18:21 ESV

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

Revelation 12:11 ESV

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

1 Samuel 17: 45-47

David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 ESV

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Write down your trauma and your thoughts. Begin to renew and transform your mind with God’s word and truth. The devil will flee, in Jesus’ name.

I have come in order that you might have life — life in all its fullness. 

—John 10:10 (GNT)

Dealing with these things will be how you will begin to experience the fullness of life.
