Slave to Son Consciousness
- Pastor Ashish Mathews
Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “ Abba , Father! ”
Slave Consciousness is one of the reasons many believers live in fear. Fear is dangerous. Fear was the reason Job lost everything. Job said in Job 3:25-26, "For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes.” You don't tolerate fear. You don't manage fear. You kick fear out!
Because of the disobedience of Adam, mankind became a slave of Satan and Satan kept us in slavery and controlled us through fear. Fear is Satan's weapon to keep you in slavery. Slaves fear! Jesus Christ has set you free through His blood and through His death, burial and resurrection. Jesus, through his death has defeated satan and delivered us from the fear of death which kept us in bondage and trapped us in slavery. You are no longer a slave. You were a slave but now in Christ, you are a son of God. Galatians 4:7 says, 'Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.' Every believer is a Son of God but not all believers know their sonship privilege. There are believers who are sons but have slave mentality and therefore are trapped in fear. Move from Slave Consciousness to Son Consciousness, Slave mentality to Son mentality. Renew your mind and think like a son, see like a son, speak like a son and live like a son. Son Consciousness will help you live fearlessly. Speak to yourself and say, “I am a son of God.” The more you say it, the more conscious you become.
Slave mentality will keep you in fear. Son mentality will help you live a fearless life in this world full of fear. No longer a slave of Satan, no longer a slave of Sin, no longer a slave of man and no longer a slave of God. You are a beloved child of God. We don't serve God as a slave, we serve our Father as a son. Live fearlessly. This is your time.
"I am not a slave, I am a son of God and God is my Abba, Father. I move from slave mentality to son mentality. I think, see, speak and live as a son. I have no fear. My Father loves me and is for me. Hallelujah"
