Taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"
The tyranny of Egypt and the soul destroying influences of bondage to man are more than history: They are the present challenge of My people today as they are freed from bondage to man and loosed in the Spirit. You are freed, My people, not to use your liberty as an opportunity to express self-will, but you are free to learn the holy discipline of the Spirit and to become a true bond slave of Jesus Christ, honoring Him in the liberty He provides...the liberty to choose to serve and follow the only One who is truly free.
All sin is binding. In Christ is freedom, because in Him is holiness. Your constant desire for purity is the is your safeguard against the desire to return to the fleshpots and slavery of Egypt, which is always a symbol of the world. The world with its desires passes away, but he who chooses to do the will of God will live forever.
