Teenager's!! What is Bondage?

Have you ever felt like something had a hold on you—like no matter how much you tried, you couldn’t break free? Maybe it’s a habit you know isn’t right, but it feels too hard to stop. It could be spending hours scrolling through social media, even when it drains your peace. Or maybe it’s the pressure to fit in, leading you to say or do things you know don’t honor God. These things might seem small at first, but over time, they can quietly take control, pulling you further away from the freedom Christ offers. The Bible says in 2 Peter 2:19, "...for people are slaves to whatever has mastered them." Anything that masters you—whether it’s a thought, a behavior, or a relationship—can become a form of bondage.

The hard part is, sometimes we don’t even realize we’re in bondage because the world normalizes these struggles. Everyone gossips a little, right? Everyone hides the truth sometimes. But God wants more for you. He created you for freedom—not to be trapped by things that steal your joy and peace. And the truth is, the longer you stay under the weight of something, the harder it can feel to break free. But here’s the good news: If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed (John 8:36). Real freedom doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from letting Jesus take the weight off your shoulders. What would it look like for you to invite Him into the areas where you feel stuck?

Take a moment to be honest with yourself—are there things in your life controlling you more than God does? Is there a habit you feel powerless to stop or a thought that keeps you trapped in fear or insecurity? God isn’t standing far away, waiting to judge you—He’s right here, ready to walk with you toward freedom. You don’t have to stay in bondage. The same Jesus who broke the power of sin and death can break anything holding you back. Will you trust Him with those hidden struggles today?

Salvation - Part 1

I commend you to the Holy Spirit and God’s word to help you to discover and learn all that God has proposed you to learn and discover in Jesus Name. Our topic for today is SALVATION. Our Case Study will be Colossians 1:13 – 14 What is Salvation? SALVATION is the translation from the kingdom of sin into the kingdom of his dear son. SALVATION is a lifestyle, a personality, a culture and SHE has a desire (God’s plan and purpose). SALVATION is a journey from the stage of ignorance into the place of the knowledge of God’s plan. This is a shift of mindset, attitude and manner of approach from the carnal state into God’s principles. Why is SALVATION needed? SALVATION is needed because of the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Man-kind was perfect in the beginning until sin entered into them and corrupts God’s nature in their lives. This is needed because man-kind need to be restored back to the plan and purpose of God, sin cut off from mankind after the f...

Stay Healthy In Friendship

Three things that will always poison your friendship or relationship with the people around you are the following: - Presumption. - Assumption. - Suspicious. The only way to defeat these deadly enemies is you asking question. Don't make any decision when you don't have a full detail and understanding. Don't fix your believe about any one base on what some one else told you about this person. Get close to people and have your own personal discovery of who this person. PEOPLE WHO GOSSIP TO YOU ABOUT ANY ONE WILL ALSO GOSSIP YOU TO ANOTHER PERSON.  Don't be a victim and ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Even if you discover a fault in your friends life....pray for them. Be patient with your friend the same way your parents or some one else is being patient with some of your misbehave. You are a teenager with purpose.  Allow the Word of God to set the pace for every of your choice and decision. HOPE EXPRESSION believes in you.
