It is at this point that Jesus called to Lazarus from the grave, and the dead man arose from the grave, taking deep breaths, and rising, resurrected, yet still bound by the cloak in which he buried himself. {John 11:11-26} &#8220;Can it be that, like Lazarus, we are also still bound in our grave clothes even after rising from the dead? In the midst of anxiety, guilt, feelings of arrogance of pridefulness of heart, fear, shame, or feelings of alienation, we are held back from moving forward. Though many ages and around the globe, there are those who are drowning in sins, grievances, offences, betrayals, insults, resentments, hatreds, and inability to forgive. As far as I can tell, grave clothes are anything that is holding us back from what God has in store for us. I believe this is the description of many believers today &#8211; alive in Christ but still bound <span class=\"issue-underline underline decoration-2 underline-offset-4 transition decoration-border-brand-default [.long-form-editing-active_&amp;]:decoration-border-brand-default\/50 hover:bg-bg-brand-light-default\" data-issueid=\"6076679d-80c8-4846-9bdc-097f40bf1cdb\" aria-label=\"open issue for the following text by the chains of sin.\" data-testid=\"issue-underline:by sin.\">by the chains of sin.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In Christ, you <span class=\"issue-underline underline decoration-2 underline-offset-4 transition decoration-border-brand-default [.long-form-editing-active_&amp;]:decoration-border-brand-default\/50 hover:bg-bg-brand-light-default\" data-issueid=\"c229c847-fb6a-4f9a-813b-fbaaa185b19e\" aria-label=\"open issue for the following text will be able to\" data-testid=\"issue-underline:can\">will be able to<\/span> experience life and freedom like never before.

Until this point, our response has always been grounded on faith, but now is the time to break free from the chains of our past, and I believe that there is a sense of liberation to be had by living an unrestrained life. It\u00a0is only for the purpose of building the body of Christ, so that others can see when we were lost in this chaotic world, God&#8217;s mercy and grace were poured out for our salvation from the pain and loss we have been experiencing.\u00a0{ Ephensias 4:12-13}<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sharing your testimony, whether it is through the books you are purchasing or your own testimony, is an effective way to encourage others to see Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior as well. {Psalms 96:3} In Christ, we are invited to shed the old life that has held us back and to embrace the newness of life that Christ has made possible for us. It was not just that Jesus died to give us life, but also to allow us to step into a new identity: one of righteousness, love, chosen, and complete freedom. { Ephesians 4:22-22}<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row el_class=&#8221;testi_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1710400729577{margin-top: 100px !important;}&#8221; woodmart_css_id=&#8221;65f2a65d71dd5&#8243; responsive_spacing=&#8221;eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NWYyYTY1ZDcxZGQ1Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=&#8221; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_box_shadow=&#8221;no&#8221; wd_z_index=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_mobile=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column]\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-65f2a7e949f41\" class=\"testimonials wd-rs-65f2a7e949f41 testimon-style-info-top color-scheme-   wd-wpb\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" wd-grid-g\"  style=\"--wd-col-lg:2;--wd-col-md:2;--wd-col-sm:1;--wd-gap-lg:30px;--wd-gap-sm:10px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wd-testimon wd-col\">\n\t<div class=\"wd-testimon-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-testimon-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/demolinks2.com\/elda-oaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/client_img1.jpg\" class=\"testimonial-avatar-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demolinks2.com\/elda-oaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/client_img1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/demolinks2.com\/elda-oaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/client_img1-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/demolinks2.com\/elda-oaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/client_img1-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/demolinks2.com\/elda-oaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/client_img1-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/demolinks2.com\/elda-oaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/client_img1-150x120.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-testimon-bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-testimon-name title\">\n\t\t\t\t\tDavid Marcus\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-testimon-pos\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSatisfied Client\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"star-rating\">\n\t\t\t\t<span style=\"width:100%\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-testimon-text reset-last-child\">\n\t\t\tLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
