Paul, the New Testament writer, wrote that it was for freedom that Christ had set us free. But many people never experience this. Their head knows what to do but they are unable to walk away from past sin, past hurt and past sorrow. So how do we let go of the “old kingdoms” that still want to keep us in bondage?

When a kingdom is healthy, it is because those who live in the kingdom are doing their part for the kingdom’s greatness. Each one using their talents and resources to make the kingdom what it was designed to be. The same is true in God’s kingdom. While God doesn’t need our efforts, we need to give—without it, we grow weaker and the kingdom suffers.
