THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

TODAY, DECLARE THAT YOU ARE FREE, AND CELEBRATE YOUR FREEDOM

Today in America, we CELEBRATE Independence Day. On July 4, 1776, America declared its INDEPENDANCE, yet the struggle for FREEDOM continued until 1783—seven years later. Although the DECLARATION of freedom was made in 1776, it took many years of standing and FIGHTING before the British ACKNOWLEDGED the United States of America.

Did you know what the early colonists did after SIGNING the Declaration of Independence? They PROCLAIMED it aloud in PUBLIC, published it in NEWSPAPERS, and spread the word. They persisted in declaring and CELEBRATING even amidst the battle.

Likewise, today we must declare OUR freedom and resolve to stand against the opposing FORCES in our lives. We must declare our LIBERATION from addiction, poverty, illness, and scarcity. We must continue to FIGHT until we fully realize the FREEDOM and PEACE that has been PROMISED.

No matter the battle YOU face today, declare your FREEDOM and CELEBRATE, for VICTORY is on its way!

Today’s Scripture:

“You have been set free from sin…”

Romans 6:18, NIV
