Our liberty and freedom are found in Jesus
Christ our Lord and Savior. Sure we here in the United States have freedom
because of our democracy and wonderful armed forces that keep our country
secure and safe. Relatively safe. There are always going to be forces within
and beyond all countries of the world that want to cause harm. We can be secure
in knowing that it is the Lord who fights our battles for us. As the Spirit of
the Lord declared through Jahaziel…Do not
fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not
yours but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20: 15. For we are not
fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and
authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and
against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of
God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then
after the battle you will still be standing firm. Ephesians 6:12- 13 NLT. The battle
that we face is spiritual…and if God is for us who can be against us? Put on
your armor daily…just as it says in Ephesians 6: 10-18. As we yield our lives
to Him waiting upon the Lord…for that Day of the Lord…we can be assured that we
are being spiritually transformed to be more like Jesus every day. That is
freedom. Freedom to choose to be like Jesus. Where do you stand with God—Father,
Son and Holy Spirit today? Are you experiencing His freedom?
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit—Bless and guide our nation and each Christian around the world as
we celebrate another year of freedom. Give our leaders wisdom and may all that
we do bring glory to You.
Happy 4th of July!
