Freedom

Remembering and honoring those who gave their lives for our freedom.

🌹It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

Are You Free?

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 6:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.6.14.NASB1995

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
Romans 8:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.2.NASB1995

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,
Romans 6:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.6.12.NASB1995

By the power of Christ’s resurrection all mankind has the opportunity to live a life of righteousness because by His death we have been justified. If you have not surrendered to follow Jesus Christ in His truth, way and life — is today the day to make that choice?

The alternative is condemnation that came through the disobedience of one transgression.

So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.
Romans 5:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.5.18.NASB1995

🌹 The choice is yours.

True Freedom

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, β€œIf you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;
John 8:31 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.8.31.NASB1995

Jesus said, “If you continue in My word” . . .
Jesus is the Word . . .
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.1.14.NASB1995

Jesus said, “then you are truly disciples of mine” . . .
the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:9b NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2jn.1.9.NASB1995

and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
John 8:32 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.8.32.NASB1995

Jesus is the Truth . . .
Jesus *said to him, β€œI am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
John 14:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.6.NASB1995

🌹So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36 NASB1995

Days of Thanks – D5

Thank God for the freedom to worship God publicly without restrictions!!
My hope is that if you are where you have the freedom to worship the God of all, that you do not neglect this freedom and attend a worship service today.

β€­β€­πŸŒΉWho is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?
You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, The place, O Lord, which You have made for Your dwelling, The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.
The Lord shall reign forever and ever.” (Amen)
Exodus‬ ‭15:11‬, 17-18 ‭NASB1995‬‬

Free Indeed

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1 NASB

and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
John 8:32 NASB1995

🌹So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36 NASB

There is nothing better. Keep seeking the true freedom found only in Jesus Christ.

Happy Independence Day,
Citizens of the
United States of America.
United. Free. Independent.

Memorial Day

Today we remember the sacrifice of many who gave their lives so that we might live free in this land we call the United States of America.
As Americans, have we taken this freedom for granted?

As Christians around the world, do we take for granted the sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ?

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1 NASB

For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Galatians 5:13 NASB

As these servicemen of the branches of the Armed Forces gave their lives for freedom out of love for their country, Jesus gave His life for all creation, the entire world.

Professing Christian, are you forsaking the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for your freedom by becoming a slave once again to the ways of the world?

🌹God, I once again surrender to You as Your bondservant, who by Your grace, I am set free. Forgive me Lord God when I use this freedom, given to me by Your sacrifice, as a covering for any kind of evil. Help me to keep standing firm on Your foundation. As a bondservant for Your namesake, I proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord! To Your glory, Jesus Christ, my Savior! Amen.
1 Peter 2:16/2 Corinthians 4:5 NASB

Reconnecting Day 4

A Father of a demon possessed child approaches Jesus and says, “But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us!:

And Jesus said to him, β€œβ€‰β€˜If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
Mark 9:23 NASB

And He said to them, β€œThis kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.”
Mark 9:29 NASB

. . . β€œBecause of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, β€˜Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
Matthew 17:20 NASB

Do I believe God can. . . . . .?
When I pray, do I believe in the power of God to save? To save my loved ones?
Do I pray consistently for their salvation, believing that the Almighty saving God can save them?
Do I tend to look to myself wondering, “Am I doing enough – sharing, living, pouring out Jesus before them?”  This is where I need to refocus.
It is not I who saves, but God who does. God can and will use me but their salvation does not depend on me.
I choose to pray in the power of the living God, walk in His saving power, and believe He has the power to save!! In that is freedom!

🌹It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1 NASB

Do Not Forget

β€œBe careful that you do not forget the Lord your God by failing to keep His commandments, His ordinances, and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, and you build good houses and live in them,  then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;
Deuteronomy 8:11‭-‬12‭, ‬14 NASB

Sometimes, . . . many times, contentment in the things of this world can draw our focus away from God. The God who is the supplier of our needs.

How do we keep from becoming proud?
Be in the word of God daily. Talk (pray) to God continually throughout the day. Obey Him. And praise Him with a thankful heart for the blessings He gives.


🌹Don’t forget the freedom you were given in Jesus.

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon

Thankful Exultation

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also EXULT in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.       Romans 5:8‭-‬11 NASB

Exult: to show or feel a lively or triumphant joy; rejoice exceedingly; be highly elated or jubilant:

knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin.     Romans 6:6‭-‬7 NASB

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.          John 8:36 NASB

🌹We have much to be thankful and joyous over if we have experienced the saving grace of Jesus Christ. May your hearts be thankful, full of triumphant joy, jubilant as you celebrate the wonderful gift of salvation that comes only through Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon

Pardoned

“Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:6‭-‬7 NASB

God is calling His church to return to Him. Are you truly repentant? Are you seeking the Lord daily? Hourly? Minute by minute?

He sought you. His compassion offers freedom when we walk with Him, forsaking the way of mankind.

You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
1 Corinthians 7:23 NASB

“I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.
Isaiah 43:25 NASB

🌹 Have you received His pardon? Are you walking in freedom with Jesus?

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon
