HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

Happy Birthday America!!! 🎂🎉

1 PETER 2:16  As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

This verse will always be special to me especially on the 4th of July when we celebrate the birth of AMERICA and celebrate FREEDOM!!

May we always remember where our freedom comes from and never forget the men and women who gave their life for our freedom. Most importantly the One who gave His life for ALL to have that freedom.

May we never forget that our great nation was founded by godly men and based on godly principles.

1 Peter 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. (KJV)

We are living in a time of uncertainty and chaos seems more prevalent each day. It’s hard to not be anxious, but yet God reminds us that we are not to be anxious for anything.

I’ve been looking for the Lords return for a long time, but even while looking and waiting it still shocks me to see our nation falling away from it’s values that it was founded on.

People calling good evil and evil good…. just as scripture warned. I’m watching the Bible with it’s warnings and prophecy being played out and daily. The part that makes me the most anxious is the thought of not knowing if my whole family is ready to meet the Lord.

I pray I live my life in such a way that if something was to happen to me and the Lord called me out of this earth that my husband, kids, grandkids, and all others that know me will know I’m in heaven and never have a seconds moment of wondering if I might not be there. I pray I never live a life that would make them have to wonder. Now let me turn the table to children.

If you are a child….and if you’re reading this then you are someone’s child….don’t live a life so selfishly for yourself that you put yourself at risk for missing eternity in heaven. If your heart truly belongs to Christ then you will not have a desire to live for both Christ and for the world. Take His Word serious and if He speaks against it and calls it sin….then KNOW that’s what it is and turn from it before the devil snares you!!! If you get called from this earth then don’t make your parents or siblings wonder if you went to heaven or to hell. Live a life that they will know and have peace of where you are.

Freedom does come with a price. We aren’t puppets and we will not be made to serve Christ. We are given the freedom to choose. My advice is to choose wisely!

I’ve heard a lot of selfish people say that if they miss the rapture then they’ll then commit to Christ and be saved then. My advice… DON’T CHANCE IT!!! If you didn’t choose to serve the Lord when the Holy Spirit was present then chances are you won’t be strong enough to serve Him when the Holy Spirit is removed with God’s children. It will be pure chaos and evil during those times.

His promise to us when we reach heaven…

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (KJV)

Take a chance and believe and trust in the Lord and see how it transforms your life.

If I’m wrong….I have nothing to lose….because I’ve lived a good moral life. If you are wrong….you have EVERYTHING to lose and you risk eternity in hell. I promise it’s not worth the risk.

Today as we celebrate America’s birthday and our freedom….it would be a great day for you to give it all over to Christ so that you can celebrate your new birth and your freedom from bondage and sin.

HAPPY 4th OF JULY
