Freedom Reigns

A Christian brotherhood committed to growth in purity and godliness. Together we seek freedom from sin by submitting to the rule and reign of Jesus Christ through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, application of the Word of God, and accountability.

Pillars of Freedom Reigns

  • Christian Brotherhood

    It is in the context of community that transformation, behavior stability and growth flourish.

  • Purity and Godliness

    As men we can find ourselves entrapped in besetting sins for various reasons. We seek to grow in being faithful obedient followers of Jesus by living out the Word of God in order to become more like Jesus in our character.

  • Freedom from Sin

    Simply defined, sin is disobedience to the revealed Word of God. Sin can become an enslaving force with consequences that effects our fellowship with God, us personally, our marriage, family and other relationships. Freedom from sin is a growth matter where we learn to make decisions in accord with the Word of God. In so doing, we experience freedom-the absence of guilt, shame, condemnation and consequences.

  • Rule and Reign of Christ

    As followers of Jesus, we seek to live and be governed by our Savior. We learn to align our thoughts and decisions to walk in obedience and please our Savior King.

  • Empowerment of the Holy Spirit

    The Spirit-filled life is one where we learn to be sensitive to the influence and conviction of the Holy Spirit and to receive the "enabling grace" that He provides to be victorious over temptation.

  • Application of the Word of God

    The Bible speaks directly to the issue of purity and godly living. As we memorize and deeply take the Word of God into our mind and heart, serves to guide our lives and enable godly decision making in the face of temptation.

  • Accountability

    Our trusting brotherhood culture is a safe place for sharing our spiritual journey- both victories and struggles. We learn together, support and encourage each other in our walk of faith.

FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10

The enemy’s plan of attack has never changed. In a specific order, Satan and his demons want to only “STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY!” He doesn’t want to greet, meet and maim us. His only mode of operation is to “STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY”. If we grasp fully the enemy’s intention we will recognize that we are in a WAR and must FIGHT! Fortunately, we are not SOLO in our battle. We have God’s Word, the power, and presence of the Holy Spirit, and the AUTHORITY in JESUS’ name! The Holy Spirit gave me the first line of defense when being tempted, and I find this almost foolproof when battling temptation.

The 4P’S is a proven and anointed method of defeating the enemy’s flaming arrows of temptation and solidly walk-in purity.

 

PAUSE

Initially, God gives us a pause when tempted. We are alerted in our heart by the Holy Spirit that the enemy is attacking.

 

PRAY

We then pray to our Lord through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit who is GOD himself. Please remember that the Holy Spirit is a person and GOD. He is not a simple force or an Idea. He is ever-present and omniscient in our time of need, and able to empower us to the final step.

PONDER

Next, we ponder God’s Word that we’ve hidden in our hearts. To say out loud the weapon given to us which is Infallible and holds back the demonic.

 

PRAISE

Praising the Lord Jesus makes the devil and the demonic FLEE! Psalm 22:3 - “But you oh Lord are Holy, and Inhabit the praises of your people.” Satan and his demons HATE when we worship our Lord.

 

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bands were loosed.
Acts 17:25-26
