All-Inclusive Package
John 8:36 Amplified Bible (AMP)
36So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free.
In a few weeks, Shane and I are going on an all-inclusive cruise for the first time in our lives. To us the term all-inclusive meant just that; ALL-inclusive, but that’s not the actual meaning. After doing some research on different cruise lines and vacation packages, we quickly learned that this phrase means different things to different people. The majority of all-inclusive packages include your meals, room charges, gratuities, drinks, entertainment, and taxes. Some include your spa treatments, land and water sports (known as excursions), and some even include your travel accommodations.
Well, the closer we get to our cruise date, the more we are discovering things we will have to pay for. Not that this is a problem, just a shock because of the term ALL-inclusive. So as I sat and looked through the many excursions the cruise line offered, I chuckled to myself at the realization that my God is truly an ALL-INCLUSIVE package. When we except Jesus into our lives, we have full access to everything He does. It’s a one-time enrollment process, as long as we stay on the cruise, that covers everything. Christ’s blood covers our past, present and protects are future.
God’s all-inclusive package gives us IMMEDIATE access to our healing, deliverance, and break through. Poverty, sickness, pain, low self-esteem, generational curses and sin are not allowed on the boat. God’s love, peace and power are available to you 24hrs a day with no time limits, restrictions or black out dates. The problem is that some will bring drama, lies, hurts, and doubts on the boat in our baggage……and then leave it there. We will get out and enjoy the great views, tourist attractions and island luxuries, but the moment we go back into our rooms, we will open our baggage of abuse, disappointments, and failures back up and not hold on to all that God has given to us. Don’t weigh the freedom of your salvation down by holding on to junk. Get on the boat and toss whatever is holding you back or down over the rail. Let go of the baggage and grab a hold of the all-inclusive package that is Christ Jesus today.
