11 We also pray that you will be strengthened with all His glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, 12 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to His people, who live in the light. 13 For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, 14 Who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.
-- Colossians 1:11-14 (NLT)
As the rescued we must now become the rescuers.
-- Pastor Jeff Griffith
Let's Rejoice!
We have been rescued from the kingdom of darkness!
Now, let's rescue others by living in the Light!

On Independence Day in the USA, I Pray...
On this day, July 4th, we remember the birth of freedom in our country, yes independence is still ours in the good, old United States of America. I am indeed grateful to God to be born an American. It is the only homeland I have ever known. I am also more grateful to be born again as a Christian. I am a Christian American, not an American Christian.
Though I am grateful to be a Christian American, I have a heavy burden, in that, on Independence Day in the USA, I pray desperately that our country will once again return to true dependence upon Almighty God. I pray that we will experience a real revival that finds my people returning to their First Love --Jesus Christ. I pray that "In God We Trust" will become a new movement, not just an old motto.
However, I have this against you: The love you had at first is gone.
-- The Word of The Lord in Revelation 2:4 (GWT)
May God bless America and the world with a Holy Spirit revival.
May America and the world bless God with heart-felt repentance.

Words About Freedom
Freedom is never more than one generation away from distinction.
-- President Ronald Reagan's words about a National Freedom
So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
-- King Jesus' Words about Spiritual Freedom in John 8:36 (NLT)
Lord, thank You for giving to us freedom from sin.

Freedom From Sin
My Jesus, I am so grateful to You for the total price You paid to offer to the world and to me freedom from sin. Amen.
John 3:16-17 still amazes me.
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

God's Love... In My Life And In Yours
This quote from the life of Henri Nouwen is a prayer I pray for my life and for yours. In part, this quote helps explain why I am a beautiful-feet-blogger:
My hope is that the description of God’s love in my life will give you the freedom and the courage to discover . . . God’s love in yours.
Lord, make Yourself known to me and through me, I pray. In Jesus' name. Amen. --kw
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Free Indeed
“Jesus replied, ‘I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin’. (35) Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. (36) So, if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” -- John 8:34-36 (NIV)
A few years ago on July 4 (Independence Day in the USA) my family and I were vacationing along the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We could hardly wait to watch the fireworks display over the water later that evening.
Earlier in the day, we stood along the roadside of the small, seaside village and watched a home-grown, Independence Day parade. From the parade entries, I could tell that people had very, very different ideas about the meaning of being free.
On one of the parade floats, some of the locals were seemingly drunk and were giving off vulgar expressions to the parade-watchers. As they moved along the parade route, they created an unashamed, nearly out of control atmosphere. It seemed their idea of being free was being free to sin.
A few moments later a local church float passed by us. The American flag was draped around a large wodden cross. This message was on the back of the church float: “Free in Him, Jesus!”
Free in Him means free from sin. Personally, I call that free indeed!
ALL JOY!

Not a Trace of Resentment
Dearest My Lord Jesus:
In the wake of the words You spoke in Your Sermon on the Mount of Beatitudes, yes Your soul-searching words recorded in Matthew 5:23-24, this is my personal and passionate prayer:
Lord, let there not be a trace of resentment -- either expressed or suppressed -- in my life towards another. Amen.
ALL JOY!
Grateful
Matthew 5:23-24 (NIV) -- (23) "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, (24) leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift."
