At the core of Jesus\\u2019 ministry in the gospels is the goal of \\u201cgetting free.\\u201d

\\n

Imagine the impact of His words when He read from scripture with unmistakable conviction: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me . . . . He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives . . . to let the oppressed go free\\u201d (Luke 4:18).

\\n

His words help me to get free as I accept His timeless teachings.

\\n

The Christ Spirit indwelling me now sets me free from oppression. I claim my identity as a person of faith; therefore, I can no longer be bound by negative beliefs. I am getting free of worries and fears by knowing this Truth that sets me free from past limitations. I no longer walk as a slave to circumstances.

\\n

I dwell in my Father\\u2019s house, and I am free, I am unlimited, right here and right now.
