Why You Keep Falling Back Into the Same Sins (And How to Stop)

Описание: It is one thing to get free; it is another thing to stay free. Many of us are like the Children of Israel—we are out of Egypt, but we still have Egypt inside of us. Why do we experience a moment of freedom only to fall right back into the same old cycles of bondage?

In Week 3 of our All Things New series, Lead Pastor Rodney Thrift unpacks the path to New Freedom.

Discover why you can't be free while pretending you are fine, why isolation always strengthens bondage, and how to stop the cycle. It’s time to stop treating freedom like a moment and start treating it like a way of living.

Soul Tattoo: New Freedom is not a moment, it’s a way of living.

MESSAGE NOTES:

ALL THINGS NEW
New Freedom

Prayer connects us to God and Fasting disconnects us from the world!

Week 1 Soul Tattoo: New Faith begins when I choose God’s connection over the world’s pull.
Week 2 Soul Tattoo: New Fitness is becoming whole so God can use me fully.

Galatians 5:1 (NIV)

Freedom is a gift, but walking in it is a process.

We’re like the Children of Israel… We’re out of Egypt, but we need to get the Egypt out of us.

Soul Tattoo: New Freedom is not a moment, it’s a way of living.

1.) Freedom begins with honest surrender.

You can’t be free pretending you’re fine.

Luke 15:11-24 (NIV)

Freedom didn’t start when the father ran, it started when the son admitted his need.

Key Truth:
👉 Pride keeps us bound.
👉 Humility opens the door to freedom.
👉 You will never be set free thinking you can handle it alone.

Make It Practical:
👉 Admit you need help.
👉 Stop minimizing the issue.
👉 Stop spiritualizing avoidance.

Freedom starts when honesty replaces pride.

Soul Tattoo: New Freedom is not a moment, it’s a way of living.

2.) Freedom must be maintained with accountability and repentance.

What God sets free must be guarded.

Luke 11:24–26 (NIV)

This is the cycle:
👉 Freedom
👉 Prosperity
👉 Forgetfulness
👉 Pride
👉 Bondage again

James 5:16 (NIV)

Key Truth:
👉 We go to God for forgiveness
👉 We go to people for healing
👉 Isolation always strengthens bondage

Make It Practical:
👉 Small Groups
👉 Freedom Groups
👉 Trusted accountability
👉 Saying the hard thing out loud

Freedom that isn’t protected will eventually be lost.

Soul Tattoo: New Freedom is not a moment, it’s a way of living.

3.) Freedom is sustained by replacing lies with truth.

Every chain begins with a lie; every breakthrough begins with truth.

John 8:31–32 (NIV)

Bondage always starts with deception:
“This is just who I am.”
“I’ll never change.”
“God is tired of me.”

Freedom is sustained when truth is chosen daily, not occasionally.

THE FATHER’S RESPONSE: LOOK AT WHAT GOD PUTS ON YOU (Luke 15:22–24)

1.) Robe of Righteousness
👉 You are forgiven
👉 You are clean
👉 You must see yourself the way God sees you

2.) Ring of Authority
👉 You have authority in Jesus’ name
👉 The enemy must flee
👉 You don’t fight for victory, you fight from victory

3.) Shoes of Peace
👉 Your past no longer defines your path
👉 Peace goes with you wherever you walk

Make It Practical:
👉 Daily reject the enemy’s lies
👉 Daily believe God’s truth
👉 Replace lies with Scripture

Freedom grows when truth becomes my daily choice.

New Freedom is living daily in what Jesus already won for me.

Luke 8:26-39 (NIV)

This man wasn’t just struggling, he was completely bound.
👉 Living among tombs
👉 Isolated from people
👉 Chains couldn’t hold him
👉 His identity was wrapped up in his bondage

Jesus didn’t just remove what bound him, He restored:
👉 His mind
👉 His dignity
👉 His identity
👉 His future

Luke 8:39 (NIV)

Freedom lasts when Jesus fills the space bondage once occupied.

Jesus doesn’t just set us free, He shows us how to live free.

Soul Tattoo: New Freedom is not a moment, it’s a way of living.
