Liberty or Freedom

 

"We know the Race is not to the swift nor the Battle to the Strong. Do you not think an Angel rides in the Whirlwind and directs this Storm?" --John Page, July 20, 1776

'iight...

Many are stalled, but few are frozen. Why? Because few have been chosen...Enjoy their Light and keep warm...

Rom 8:14-21 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Satan is Lord of this world and society.

Luk 4:5-7 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

Job 1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

We don't belong to 'im...

Act 26:18 To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

And we want 'im out, ya heard?

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

CHRIST IS LORD OF CREATION

Yet many serve Satan and few serve Christ.

All men, hopefully, have offspring or reproduce. Some men care for their young. Other men live off of their young, whether they make them slaves to the same oppressive wants and needs that they are slaves to or whether they actually eat their own, they live off of those with a Divine Right to Life within Christ.

Jesus, as the Christ, offered Himself for any who would take part in the Promise of Divine Protection against Satan and the benevolent and bountiful Providence of God, Our Father.

Satan needs you to deny this Promise and follow him if he should win the right to feed off of you or upon you.

1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Jesus prepared us to battle...

Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

On this July the 4th, 2004, remember their is a essential difference between "freedom" and "liberty" that few seem to understand as well as the Devil.

"Liberty" is a grant bestowed upon men, much like riches or wisdom, in return for right action and thought, or service and worship...There is an affectation of Joy in True Liberty that is unlike any other in Creation.

The Liberty Bell does not possess a crack for no good reason...

"Freedom" is something hard won. The very word suggests "deliverence" from an oppressor, and there is no greater folly under heaven than imagining yourselves free in slavery, such was the case of the Israelites who wished to return to Egypt because they did not mind slavery as long as they could do as they pleased (sin) and didn't have to serve the Lord in Truth and Spirit.

Freedom to the slave will come at any price. But the slave is not always oppressed. Servitude is not always a burden.

To win your freedom lawfully can be as joyous as the Liberty you originally were granted at Conception.

The slavery you sometimes strive to win and endure in this country is foolish and vain.

Too much freedom, leads men to corruption of soul and into bonds of slavery that they strive to make seem like freedom or liberty...

"Liberty" is known by the very formation produced in the heart, mind and soul upon uttering or hearing the word "Liberty." There is a Dignity and Nobility to It that is not found in "Freedom." There is definition in the tone and wisdom in the structure of the pronounce Word, "Liberty." "Freedom" is had "at last..." "Liberty" is bestowed from the beginning.

Freedom is chaotic and can stir a perverse pride when you must win freedom at any cost, fight for it constantly, and be on guard against loss of freedom.

"Liberty" exists within a mode of behavioral patterns that no man's will can penetrate, corrupt nor subject.

Freedom can be enjoyed by a beast.

"Liberty" permits God's Chosen to subdue the beasts and human heart to an order of Divine Being.

We who enjoy America's Freedoms are not always at Liberty to do as we ought, and frequently asked to do as we ought not to partake in this "Freedom."

Those "set free" by Christ enjoy "Liberty" and do not desire the freedoms of American culture and society.

Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Rom 6:3-23 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things [is] death.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Phl 3:15-21 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

America are you Free or faking it?
