Do you long for being free? Seek the true liberty!

  • “He who keeps instruction is in the way of life; but he who refuses reproof goes astray.” (Pro 10:17).

It is important to understand being necessary to follow laws. Although many laws make the things more difficult, but without them the life is unsustainable. For example:


1 – Try to drive on a large street that doesn’t have any signal;
2 – Fancy to learn a language that doesn’t follow standards;
3 – Try to use an instrument or appliance that doesn’t behave in a uniform way.
4 – Imagine a hospital working without laws: the workers won’t use a tidy and clean uniform; people will contaminate the place coming in and out when they desire; and so forth.

If there weren’t laws, everyone will invade the place that belongs to others, thieving their freedom and what they conquered.

So, the true liberty implies on being able to rule the own spirit:

  • “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit is better than he who takes a city.” (Pro 16:32);
  • “He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a broken down city without a wall.” (Pro 25:28).

Certainly you will say: but how, if it is unfeasible?

  • “There is no man who has power over the spirit to keep the spirit; nor power in the day of death; and there is no discharge in that war; nor shall wickedness deliver its owners.” (Ecc_8:8).

Fortunately, as the Creator promised to be with Moses’ mouth, He promised (Exo 4:12) now to be one with our spirit:



  • “But he being joined to the Lord is one spirit.” (1Co 6:17).


So, have a good day preparing your heart (Ezra 7:9,10) so that it can be ruled by the Holy Spirit.
