Pure Freedom

Chicken mull.  In these parts, we look forward to chicken-mull weather -- cold, rainy nights tailor-made for it.  Mr. Gene’s chicken mull was famous; folks came from miles around for the annual chicken mull event.  I’m amazed when I hear someone say they’ve never heard of it, tried it, or worse – they don’t like it!  Goodness gracious!

Do you ever find yourself “mulling” over your sin?  The cause is usually pride that squarely stands in the way, breaking our fellowship with The Father.  It’s just nuts!  We end up with spirits cast down in some muck and mire of distress and discouragement.  We’ll even go to others to complain and whine when all required is to expose our sin to God, confess-repent then know spiritual release.  Absolutely no mulling is necessary!  David wrote, “Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.” (Psalm 142:7)  Our souls were not made to be imprisoned by sin – Christ died so we can live freely in His bountiful mercy and grace.  What made Mr. Gene’s chicken mull so delicious [besides the countless hours of laughter and fellowship around those cast iron pots] were quality ingredients and a perfect combination of seasonings.  That process produced powerful results and was powerfully good!  Believer, do not mull over the sin in your life – confess it, repent of it, find restored fellowship with The Father, and live the abundant life in Christ, Lover and Redeemer of your soul!  Experience … pure freedom!
