Independence Day

July 4, 2007

Here in the United States, as I sit and write this, we are celebrating Independence Day. On this day in 1776, the United States declared its independence from Great Brittan and fought a war to get the right to govern ourselves.

There is a war that goes on until this day for many people. They have yet to claim their independence and so they look for other things to blame. Satan is the god of this earth. He gained that position in the garden of Eden. But Jesus came and allowed us to be free of Satan and his influences.

Rom 10:9-10 MKJV
(9) Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
(10) For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.

Does that mean that Satan is just going to roll over and play dead, that your life will be a bed of roses. No it does not. It does say that you have to acknowledge that you are sinful. Once that step is made and Jesus is Lord of your life, then you have the power to get out of what ever binds you.

It is time, if you have not, to listen and have your independence day. If you have confessed Jesus as your savior, then it is time to live in the strength that Jesus gives to you and move out of the influence of Satan.
