Freedom

“We are the People” who pay taxes, who vote, who believe that the people of faith will prevail. We trust that God is in control, and the Spirit of God is moving towards justice for ALL the villians and His saints. Forgive those who injured you and operate in the confidence of God’s court of justice. Parade as a patriot but declare your personal dependence on God for your eternal freedom ‘in Christ’ from evil.

The 4th of July, is known as Independence Day, a holiday that celebrates America’s independence from the rule of the British Empire. Nearly 250 ago, this was a day of patriotic pride. In a letter to his wife Abigail, John Adams wrote that the celebration should include fireworks, bonfires, parades, and games, many of which are popular today. July 4th is the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress, a governing body comprising delegates from the 13 American colonies.

Freedom was officially declared by the United States of America. “We the people” of America stand up to all who threaten to take away our freedoms as clearly stated in an officially signed legal document. God created a legal universe and the Courts of Heaven are now in session. We trust in our Advocate, our Counselor.

Joshua was called to lead the new generation into the Promised Land. God says to us, “Go… to the land which I am giving… Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon, I have given you.” Applying that scripture personally, I am told what is legally mine before I experientially possess it. Legal ownership is no guarantee of experiential ownership. It takes great faith to experience God’s promised land. Our Father called it the Promised Land so that His people would confidently proceed to possess it – no matter what obstacles we encounter.

Each believer has the legal ownership of authority, eternal life, and power through faith in Christ, right now. Fully atoned, we enjoy health, favor, spiritual power, protection, abundant provision, wisdom, and much more. God had Peter pen “exceedingly great and precious promises” which were given to us “that we may be partakers of the divine nature” 2 Peter 1:4 ❤️ Let’s persevere and keep seeking to possess what is already legally ours. I Declare: I am who the Bible says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. I increasingly possess, in my experience, the promises of God.

Many Chist followers have a hard time saying who God says they are when no fruit is manifesting in that particular area. Could I be in a season where that dimension of the Christian life is being pruned back for future growth? Could be, however, I speak the truth when I agree with God about what I legally possess as a Kingdom of God kid. “I am anointed, prosperous, delivered, healed, righteous, strong.” Joel 3:10 says, “Let the weak say I am strong.” I do not deny the fact of my weakness, but choose to focus on the greater truth that I am strong in Him. The Word of God says I am these things. I would be lying to say anything different. Again, I am what the Bible says I am. I declare that I am who the Word says I am. I have a sound mind. I have great favor with God and man. People love me. I am a happy person. I love life and enjoy each moment. I walk in divine health. I have abundant provision. I am blessed and protected. I increasingly know who and what I am in Christ. I make a tremendous difference for Christ wherever I go.
