THE INVITATION
We, Heavenly Father, Jesus and
Holy Spirit, invite you to be:
FOREVER FREE
"Not partially, but completely and wonderfully FREE!
At last, we have freedom, for Christ has set us free!"
There is no cost - absolutely free
No requirements
The bondage of your past is deleted
"We must always cherish this truth and
firmly refuse to go back into
the bondage of our past." Galatians 5:1
My Choice:
YES__ NO__
Submit your answer to Us.​
We all have received invitations either online or in the mail. When you receive an invitation it will
ask for a YES__ NO__ MAYBE__ answer or to RSVP to the one who sent the invite.
We make a choice. The Word is full of scriptures that say we need to make choice.

"And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom
you will serve
, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other
side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me
and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24: 15

"I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life
and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your
descendants may live;" Deuteronomy 30:19

"If you choose to follow good counsel, divine design will watch over you and
understanding will protect you from making poor choices." Proverbs 2:11

"Everything seems to go wrong when you feel weak and depressed. But when
you choose to be cheerful, every day will bring you more and more joy and fullness."
Proverbs 15: 15


We have choices to make every day about everything in our life. Everything we do is a choice. In
the Children's Church material, I am using it gives this definition of grace - Grace means that
as Christians we are not controlled by God, but we get to choose to follow God. He has
an incredible amount of love for us that we don't deserve.


In our Women's Conference this weekend, our theme is Forever Free - "The Anointed One
has set us free - not partially, but completely and wonderfully free!" Galatians 5:1

"At last we have freedom, for Christ has set us free! We must always cherish this truth
and firmly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past ."


We each make our choice of being free in Him or tuning into the bondage of our past. We can
only make the choice to be free through the power of Holy Spirit. We are set free but we are
not controlled by God - He set us free to choose. It's His freedom He has given to us but we can do
nothing without Him.
​
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He abides in Me, and I in him, bears much
fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:5


Right now, the choices you make in this time in history are going to make a difference in all you
do. There is so much evil and deception being thrown in our faces that we must choose on purpose to choose life. The greatest choice that we have all had to make this past year has been to stay in his peace or listen to fear. It takes humility to choose God's way of doing things. What we see before our eyes and listen to with our ears affect our heart. What is on our hearts is what controls us. "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he" Proverbs 23:7

God is Almighty, all Powerful, all Knowing and much more. But He has given us the freedom to
make our choices. He will ALWAYS guide us, warn us, advise us, in all our ways but we ultimately choose. He chose us and died to give us an opportunity to choose to believe in Him.

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only son. God gave his Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost but have eternal life." John 3:16 We had to choose to believe in Him.
'
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all
your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6


Most of us have quoted and prayed this verse in Proverbs through the various situations in our
life. We have to choose to trust Him. Most of us can also say that until we actually made a
choice, through His power working in us, to trust Him completely instead of leaning on our own
understanding, life was still hard. He never leaves us, never stops talking to us, never forsakes
us but He also never controls our decisions.

"At last we have freedom, for Christ has set us free! We must always cherish this truth
and firmly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past."


We must cherish this truth! That's huge. Cherish this truth that He has set us free! Cherish it
like nothing you have ever cherished before. This is His Truth! We must believe that it is
truth
. If you don't believe it, you will not experience it even though it is there right in front of
you. Firmly refuse to go back to the bondage of our past.

These three points will make all the difference in how you live your life.
Cherish this truth
Believe that it is truth
Firmly refuse


His Word has to be so precious to you. You have to have a passionate heart for His Word and His
Truth. Those are the choices you are going to have to make right now to able to firmly refuse
anything else that the world will try to force and control you to choose. This is a time like no
other that we have seen and you must make choices for Him and not be tossed too and fro in
confusion. You MUST know He has set you free to choose Life and He will empower you to
choose and live in this freedom no matter what is going on in this world! Choose Life today!
Receive the invitation to be
FOREVER FREE - Not partially, but completely and wonderfully FREE!
