🌟🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🌟 HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY, my FAITHFUL FELLOW PATRIOTS....
What a glorious day we can make it today no matter the outer circumstances of our life....
It is what we choose to be in our INNER BEING and what we determine to do in our mind that will allow us to fully enjoy this MEMORABLE DAY!
A tad bit of history... going back some 245 years.... KEY EVENTS :
=> On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, announcing the colonies' separation from Great Britain !
=> On July 8, 1776, the FIRST public readings of the Declaration of Independence were held in Philadelphia's Independence Square to the ringing of bells and band music and tremendous rejoicing ...
=> On July 4, 1777, Philadelphia marked Independence Day by adjourning Congress and celebrating with bonfires, bells and fireworks. The celebration of this “Anniversary” would eventually spread to small towns and big cities in all 13 colonies and beyond... and the Patriotic Spirit of a NATION WAS BORN in the heart of many, including and perhaps especially in the heart of a multitude of new immigrants who had escaped the physical, mental and spiritual bondage of their various homelands
=> 50 years, later right before the celebration of Independence Day 1826, as Thomas Jefferson, one of our Founding Fathers, laid on his death bed.... he penned these magnificent words :
“MAY IT BE TO THE WORLD, WHAT I BELIEVE IT WILL BE … THE SIGNAL OF AROUSING MEN TO BURST THE CHAINS … AND TO ASSUME THE BLESSINGS AND SECURITY OF SELF-GOVERNMENT. THAT FORM, WHICH WE HAVE SUBSTITUTED, RESTORES THE FREE RIGHT TO THE UNBOUNDED EXERCISE OF REASON AND FREEDOM OF OPINION. ALL EYES ARE OPENED, OR OPENING, TO THE RIGHTS OF MAN. …FOR OURSELVES, LET THE ANNUAL RETURN OF THIS DAY FOREVER REFRESH OUR RECOLLECTIONS OF THESE RIGHTS, AND AN UNDIMINISHED DEVOTION TO THEM.” - June 24, 1826 Monticello
=> In 1870, five years after the end of the Civil War (and a new U.S.A.) and almost 100 years later, Congress officially established Independence Day as a holiday and another 68 years later, in 1938 (168 years after its first Declaration) Congress would finally reaffirm it as a paid holiday for federal employees and the private sector would soon follow suite.
And here we are today... July 4, 2021... If our forefathers could see what they fought for and sacrificed for and even died for trampled on, even thrown into the gutter.... So let us “burst the chains” in our minds and heart, “stand [TODAY] to restore the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion”, firmly contributing to opening the eyes of of every man, woman and child to the RIGHTS OF MAN, in America and around the world, as we ALL remember these dedicated FREEDOM FIGHTERS that led us to this day in FAITH and TOTAL TRUST IN THE ALMIGHTY for their victory... FOR, AS LONG AS THERE WILL REMAIN LIVING BREATHING PATRIOTS IN THIS LAND, as long as our STAR-SPANGLED BANNER will yet wave, and as long as we will CHOOSE TO MAKE YAH-EOHIM OUR GOD ABOVE ALL and HIS MESSIAH, YAHSHUA, our KING & MASTER over our Nation and our Lives ... NOTHING will be lost and REBIRTH will be possible, better, greater and more thriving than ever before... BECAUSE, we, humanitarians were chosen for such a time as this! Praise GOD !
“Watch out, so that no one will take you captive by means of philosophy and empty deceit, following human tradition which accords with the elemental spirits of the world but does not accord with the Messiah. 9 For in him, bodily, lives the fullness of all that God is.” Colossians 2: 8-9
“I turned to Adonai, God, to seek an answer, pleading with him in prayer, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. 4 I prayed to Adonai my God and made this confession: “Please, Adonai, great and fearsome God, who keeps his covenant and extends grace to those who love him and observe His commandments and His rules! 5 We have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled and turned away from your all your Teachings and Commandments and rulings 6 We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name... 7 To you, YAH-Elohim belongs righteousness; but to us today belongs shame... 9 It is for YAH our God to show compassion and forgiveness, because we rebelled against Him. 10 We didn’t listen to the voice of YAH our God, so that we could live by his laws, which he presented to us through his servants the prophets....” Daniel 9: 3-6a, 7, 9-10
The Key out of the Mouth of GOD – valid for us today....
“IF my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek [relentlessly] my face and turn from their evil ways [4 preliminary conditions], I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears will pay attention to the prayer made in this place.” 2 Chronicles 7: 14-15
MAY YOUR 4TH OF JULY BE SAFE AND BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE! AMEN
