Free Woman!
It's where it all begins for each of us - right there in our mother's womb. Biologically we all start life this way, yet we are all different types of people because of the mothers who birthed us. We are different nationalities, different temperaments, have different inclinations...we are who we are because of the parents we have and the womb we came from.
The Book of Galatians tells us that if we have the Holy Spirit in us, our 'mother' is a FREE WOMAN. We have been spiritually birthed by Grace because we are are receivers of the Promise made to Abraham who supernaturally had a child with Sarah by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is very different from the Slave Woman who Abraham also impregnated but through human effort. The Slave Woman, Hagar, represents the Law. Sarah represents the Promise - the New Covenant, a Life of Freedom given by God as a Gift through Jesus.
My friend, if you believe in Jesus, your 'mother' is Sarah. And she is a FREE WOMAN. This means, you are a receiver of the Promise! Which also means YOU ARE FREE! No longer are you chained down to religious rules, regulations, and ceremonies to win God's approval! No! You are FREE in Christ to love Him without fear of condemnation. You are FREE because your 'mother' is FREE! Your spiritual DNA is completely made up of Absolute Freedom.
So if you feel held back or stuck under a weight of the rules of religion, you have God's permission to let that all go. He did not set you free for you to continue to live as a slave. He set you free so that you really can be FREE!
“And you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac. But you are now being persecuted by those who want you to keep the law, just as Ishmael, the child born by human effort, persecuted Isaac, the child born by the power of the Spirit. But what do the Scriptures say about that? “Get rid of the slave and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”
So, dear brothers and sisters,
we are not children of the slave woman;
we are children of the free woman.”
So, dear brothers and sisters,
we are not children of the slave woman;
we are children of the free woman.”
