Bondage Or Liberty? You Choose: But Christians Are Free People!

Bondage or Liberty? You Choose: But Christians Are Free People! Re: 4th of July Kelly Durant 7- 2015

John 8:36 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

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.

2. How many of you here celebrate the 4th of July? And when is the independence day of your country of birth? It is good for people to remember the day you a nation was liberated from their oppressors! If we forget history we are doomed to repeat it!

The 4th of July is celebrated by people with fireworks and bar-b-ques! Did you know it is Biblical to remember when you as a people were liberated from oppressors? In the O.T. we see the clear example of the Jews remembering the Passover. The Passover highlighted the day that pharaoh decided to let the people go with Moses to the Promised Land and be free from Egypt. We should always reflect on the O.T. because it teaches us parallels to the life of Christ.

Easter for us, as Christians, is our day of independence: our liberation from our own sinful selves and death! The Jews at that time when Jesus was resurrecting were remembering their freedom from the death angel in Egypt! And now over 3,000 years later for Jews and 2,000 for the Christians we still celebrate these liberations! Easter is a big celebration of victory!

4. It is okay to be patriotic and share in the roots of the people you live with and grew up with! We must learn history! All of us can be very glad that Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean Islands did not remain under the domination of the Spanish and oppression of the slave trading Europeans!

Being Patriotic does have its limits. In American history a famous saying is, “God and country!” and the supposition is that you reverence God first then your country! Imagine if every man reverenced the hierarchy in that order, our world would be more like God’s Kingdom!

The problem today is the celebration of nations is under attack by those applying a guilt trip, that your nation because of its past sins is not worthy. More and more the displaying of the American flag is prohibited! The aniti-christ media and corrupted government officials are trying to prepare the world for a one world government and they cannot do that if each person demands respect for their own nation. The world can still have peace with individual nations!

5. There is a well-known image of the cycle of nations. This cycle has repeated itself with ancient Israel, with most every country, and it can be applied to the lives of certain individuals as well. At first a nation starts out in bondage, then they grow and gain strength with spiritual faith, with faith they gain courage; they then fight to gain liberty. Then they progress with abundance and blessings but that leads to selfishness, complacency, apathy, and finally dependence, which is the stage where a majority people see the U.S.A. currently! The next step is bondage again. But bondage usually comes not from the same original oppressor as was the case of Israel who were first under Assyria, then under Babylon.

Today we witness a dozen nations that have fallen under bondage within the past 10 years! The oppressors are Islamic and Communist and these cruel heartless systems that murder with no discretion have been a plague that has taken over a 100 million lives over the past 100 years!

We keep hearing about how the world is over populated. How the U.N. has a depopulation plan, and even the Catholic Church spokespersons say climate change is due to overpopulation! http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/12/vatican-speaker-on-climate-thinks-there-are-6-billion-too-many-of-us/

Today’s liars and deceivers speak of climate change, big-government, abortion, and pro everything immoral as the reason to shift billions of dollars to select groups and make new laws to supposedly liberate the masses. Don’t be deceived these agenda pushers are extreme haters of humanity being Satanic and they use fear, drugs, and strange sex, to weaken and control people! They have a death wish for some horrific plague to reduce the quantity of useless eaters on the earth. They see armies and religions that kill entire populations as needed as it eliminates those who resist them from having absolute power! The mass populous ignoramus is being influenced by current governments, media, and colleges being indoctrinated to accept their own impending doom and destruction. Learn about these agendas and expose them! The anti-christ will show up as a hero to offer peace and safety to solve all these man-provoked social racial religious wars but it will be a false peace obtained by demanding worship and bondage to him. Satan creates the problem, then he wants to be the savior of the problems he created! 1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
