Matthew 10:31 (NKJV) 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
A man in prison sat with his head in his hands listening to the Gospel, after the message was over he still had not moved. I asked, "Are you ok," he responded "I am lost in this place, nothing but a number, my mother does no even know where I am, God probably doesn't know." Asking him to look up, I explained, "God does know and He cares for you more than those little birds you hear outside, he looked hard into my eyes and questioned, "What do I need to do?"
Romans 10:9,10 says, "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The man replied, "I can do that," and he prayed for God's Salvation, asking Jesus to forgive him and come into his heart. Through heavy tears he blurted out, "This is what Jesus meant, when He said He came to set the prisoner free!"
Salvation can be received by anyone anywhere, but there must be the desire for forgiveness and cleansing more than any other thing. Have you been set free from your fears?
Heavenly Father we are free to be all You desire for us, help us to live as those set free form the prison of self serving. Amen
