Freedom

Freedom!
All around the world people want freedom. After Adam and Eve sinned, they wanted freedom from God's view, so they hid themselves. Did they get their freedom, no. The Israelites did not want to live under God's laws, so they built a golden calf. Did the Israelites get their freedom from God's law, no.
The Israelites defied God at every turn. God Warning them over many hundreds of years that He would not always strive with them. And finally instead of having to follow God's law, the Babylonians overthrew them and took them as slaves. Then they had absolutely no freedom. Even their religion was forbidden.
Freedom
Is anyone actually free, I mean completely free?
Most people think of freedom as being free from rule and law, or Masters. But freedom can never be acquired. If you have a job you are not free at work, you are following instructions. You'll never free from the rules and regulations of your employer. Even marriage keeps both of the couple, from being free to do their own desire.
 Driving, boating and any kind of others sports or activities all have their rule. You can never be free upon this earth from rules and regulations.
Oh I know, you're thinking about moving to some isolated area in this world, maybe a desert or on top of a mountain where no laws extend. If you are a human being, you're still not free from diseases and sickness. The only way one can be completely free from all earthly things is to not live carnally but live in the spirit. Christ said that if He set you free you are free indeed. You see, we do have to follow the laws and regulations of this carnal world, Jesus instructed us to do so, so we will never be free of some, rule or regulation of law. But we can be free in the spirit. This world and it's higher powers may be able to rule over us. But they never can rule over your mind or your heart. They can't tell you what you should think or how your heart feels.
You know the Lord came to me last night with a message all about freedom. And if I have got up and had written it while it was fresh on my mind, I would have done a much better job. But I was lazy and wouldn't get up. So I apologize that this is not as inspiring as it could have been. If I had just obeyed the Lord, I'm positive that this blog would have inspired maybe one or two of you. I guess what the Lord was trying to tell me, is while on this earth we really can't be free. But we can be free from sin through Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior. Jesus doesn't have that many rules. His rules are, love one another, forgive one another, help one another and love the Lord with all your heart and with all your might. And if you are a child of God redeemed through the blood of God's only begotten son, Jesus Christ, then those things will come and with those things, comes joy. And the more you do these things, the more joy you have.
I am hoping that someone might get a blessing from this blog, even though it's not exactly what it would have been in the middle of the night when God first called me to write it. Love to all.
Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness may God bless and may God save.
