FREEDOM

The yoke is a wooden beam formed to unite two animals (usually oxen), which allow them to work in the fields, lift heavy weights, and plow the fields. Bondage is a yoke, a bond or dependence to other people/parties. The Word of God says that all men have fallen and become slaves, or, are yoked to sin. (Romans 5:19).

When the Israelites had to fight a war against the five king’s coalition (Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and all of their armies, the LORD intervened to help and miraculously pelted allies of these kings with large stones from sky. All these kings were simultaneously defeated by Joshua.

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit is present in our lives. His power delivers us from the yoke of slavery. Freedom from the yoke of slavery means no longer being bound by all things enslaving us. Let’s continue to run the race with the Holy Spirit to remain a free man so that day by day we are transforming to be like Jesus. 

Christians are 100% free. Do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
