In the early stages of the revolutionary movement in the colonies during the 1760s and early ’70s, patriots used such celebrations to proclaim their resistance to Parliament’s legislation while lauding King George III as the real defender of English liberties. However, the marking of the first days of independence during the summer of 1776 actually took the form in many towns of a mock funeral for the king, whose “death” symbolized the end of monarchy and tyranny and the rebirth of liberty.

Just as our independence from Britain was liberating it also came at great cost! 

Great Freedom, Comes at great cost!  

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:6-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when 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 that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:13-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,

Our Indepence from the Tyrany of sin being slaves to its lordship in our life ceased. Deaths reign no longer holds any authority in our life!  FREEDOM RINGS!  Let freedoms bell ring!

On July 8, 1776, the Liberty Bell summoned citizens of Philadelphia for the reading of the Declaration of Independence.

Let this bell alert us to freedom! Both to hold onto the freedoms we’ve received as well as the freedom we require.

 (even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)”

Can you recall the day when you viewed someone making 24,000, or 35,000, 60,000,  (I can remember when I heard of those numbers I was amazed that someone could make that much.. 

 it was something that was hard for my mind to grasp..   there is a day that you’ve said in your heart 250,000, 500,000, 1,000,000, 50,000,000, 100,000,000, 500,000,000 unfathomable, you’re going to look back and laugh not at yourself in a manner of degrading yourself but in a manner of awe inspired laughter at the goodness of your God and what he can do when you are faithful to do your part in the Kingdom of God.  If you're a supplier He will Supply.  If you have seen something placed on your heart to do. Don’t allow the enemy to hold you up.  All it takes is a step.  The season we’re in requires an acceleration of position! Show yourself faithful and He will show Himself faithful He cannot deny Himself!  

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭TPT‬‬     “God is forever faithful and can be trusted to do this in you, for he has invited you to co-share the life of his Son, Jesus, the Anointed One, our King!”

Ephesians 2 (TPT) :7“Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:11-24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?”

‭‭John‬ ‭8:34-36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

Let Freedom Ring

Glatians 5:1 

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”

Let Freedom Ring

Jeremiah 5:22

“Do you not fear Me?’ says the Lord. ‘Will you not tremble at My presence, Who have placed the sand as the bound of the sea, By a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it? And though its waves toss to and fro, Yet they cannot prevail; Though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.”

Remember the freedom we’ve received cannot stay beyond the bounds that Jesus has set in our life!  Freedom, and liberation from tyranny will return to its bound.  

LET FREEDOM RING!!!
