Being a daughter of Christ (Romans) is so much more than saying the salvation prayer, attending church, attempting to follow the commandments, asking for forgiveness, etc.
It is about truly recognizing that you have died to your old self. You have been risen up with Christ and are now fully living with Christ in the fullness of God.
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness
in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. In him you were also circumcised, in
the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the
circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through
your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you
alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations,
that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And
having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing
over them by the cross.” – Colossians 2:9-12

It is time to realize that we are raised from the dead with the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. The key to our shackles have already been turned…some of us act as though the shackles we once had on still have power over us. It is time to take shake them off our hands and feet so that we can start living the life that God has planned for us. God has offered us freedom from our old self and it is time to share that freedom to others. The time has come to have a dance party for the Lord. To see God in new ways and embrace him in ways that are unimaginable.
And so much more.
It is time too
…stop dwindling in the past
…dreaming about the future
…today is here and the shackles are broken!!!!!!
