8 Rs to Freedom

8 Rs to Freedom



Becoming free from the sin that binds us is a simple process. Each of us needs to practice the 8 Rs moment by moment and claim the freedom in them.





1. Recognize

You must recognize the problem and the evil enemy in your life that is not from God

(Is 5:13; Hos. 4:6; Heb. 5:14, 4:13; Jer. 3:15)



2. Responsibility

Take responsibility for what you recognize. We cannot blame God or anyone else.

(Ps. 51:3-4; 2Cor. 3:18)



3. Repent

Repent to God for participating with the enemy, giving him place and cohabiting with the sin that you now recognize.

(Acts 3:19; Rev. 3:3,19; 1Jn. 1:8-9)



4. Renounce

Fall completely out of agreement with the sin. Have a perfect hatred for the sin.

(1Cor 10:20-22; 1Sam. 15:22)



5. Remove

Remove the sin from your life. Cast it out.

(Ez. 18:30-32; Ps. 119:22; Mk.11:23)



6. Resist

Draw near to God and resist it coming back. Refuse to get involved with the sin.

(Lk. 11:24-26; James 1:14-15, 4:6-8; Phill. 413)



7. Rejoice

Give thanks to God for your freedom. Thank Him for every victory.

(Is. 35:1-10; Ps. 97:12)



8. Restore

Help free others held captive.

(Ps. 51:12; Is. 58:10-12, 42:22)
