You created this earth and it is Yours! You created us to have relationship with You! You are the Author of true freedom and somehow, in each person that You create, there is the desire, the demand for freedom!
We are sitting in the shadows…light is scarce. This is not where You want us. It is not Your will. You not only made us to be free, You provided the path to true freedom. It is Your desire that all men are free. You even call us to liberty! …and You call us to STAND fast! And You tell us why and how.
Galatians 5:1, 13You are a great God. You want us all to be free. Thank You.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Many are in the dark…in the shadow
Father, many are in the shadows, not the shadow of Your protection, but some are in fear and afraid to come forth. Fear has gripped their hearts and it has stolen their resolve to desire You and Your desire for us. Rather, many are so afraid, that they have become petrified. They cannot move. They cannot speak. They cannot stand.
Some have fallen asleep. Many have given up. BUT YOU have called us to stand
Your Word:
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 2 Corinthians 3:17The cost and consequence of freedom
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Indeed You have called us to be “doers”:
James 1:25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Yes, there is a price to pay for being a “doer.” There is a cost to freedom and there are consequences to paying that price. But You have equipped us for this work so we can stand.
Ephesians 6: 11-13The price has been paid… it is time to take our freedom.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Jesus! You are the Christ! and You have paid the price that all men may be free.
John 8:36Requests:
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
- Warmth those who are in the cold, frightened and in fear. Grant them resolve.
- Grant us an anger that Your enemy Satan, taken freedom from this nation.
- Fill us with a resolve to defend our freedom and pay the cost.
- For those who sleep…sound the alarm. LOUDLY.
- Awaken and enliven Your army to put on the full armor You have given us and report for duty.
- Make us all carriers of Your Light - into the darkness! …that evil is exposed.
- Eliminate the shadows of the enemy that we may all see our true enemy and repent.
- Bring a revival to this nation…that we may all be free indeed.
O God, my Father, glorify Your Son. He died to set us free. May it not have been in vain.
Maranatha.
