Being a slave to bonds is bad - being a slave to words and thoughts could be even worse.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed KJV
- Shall make free . . .NT:1659 eleutheroo (el-yoo-ther-o'-o); from NT:1658; to liberate, i.e. (figuratively) to exempt (from moral, ceremonial or mortal liability):
KJV - deliver, make free.
- Free . . .NT:1658 eleutheros (el-yoo'-ther-os); probably from the alternate of NT:2064; unrestrained (to go at pleasure), i.e. (as a citizen) not a slave (whether freeborn or manumitted), or (genitive case) exempt (from obligation or liability): KJV - free (man, woman), at liberty.
- What they say about you can only hold you captive if you let it. The moment you decide you are more than what they say is the moment you come into agreement with The Word of God
Your worth is not decided according to the price tag the world puts on you but what someone is willing to pay for you. - Christ gave His life for you - He puts that much worth on you!

1 Corinthians 7:23 God purchased you at a high price. Don't be enslaved by the world. NLT
1 Corinthians 7:23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. NKJV
- Your worth is not decided according to the price tag the world puts on you but what someone is willing to pay for you.
- I see a tag on something for sale - I may or may not decide to purchase it for that price - in that sense it is me, not the tag, that chooses the worth of the item
If you don’t decide who you are there are those around you that will gladly tell you . . .and it should not be so.
The reason they put you down is because they have the power, if you let them, to keep you down. God wants to raise you up.
From "Tougher Than Nails" a few weeks back
Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. KJV
