Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14)

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1).
John 8:36 NJKV 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Dear Holy Father, we give thanks to you this Independence Day, remembering it was born in the hearts of people who longed for the freedom reedom to worship you free from oppression. You blessed their request which ultimately resulted in our America, borne of true liberty. Leading up to 1776 and beyond, many patriots fought and gave their lives to defend the freedom you granted us. We recall our real freedom is solely through the sacrifice of our Savior, our beloved Lord and King Jesus Christ. You blessed America and we are eternally grateful.
Through the decades as the world dies in this time of the end, so many have forgotten Your providence and abused Your freedom. America was once great and shining for Your glory. In our wealth and comfort, many became prideful and turned our backs on you, as many nations before us, and even passing laws against You. We know this is hateful and wrong, dear Lord, and so disrespectful to our King. After several generations enerations, there are Americans now who don't know who You really are and nd don't know the meaning of Love or Liberty. We have returned to a governmental state of bondage, beyond that of which our earliest patriots fled.
The news shows us something that looks straight out of Sodom or Gomorrah, even worse. Our leaders attempt to honor those who mock and blaspheme You. Your people are persecuted. Innocents are corrupted and murdered. The lost are proud of their sin and promote it, and force us to embrace their selfish delusions. So many openly hate You now God, and choose to follow Satan as little gods. If you weren't such a merciful, patient and loving God, America would already be leveled. We know now you will not allow this to go on forever, dear Holy Father, as you are a God of justice. For this we give you thanks and glory.
"We have a propensity to go to extremes, and the Bible cautions us about our freedom: “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love” (Galatians 5:13). So our freedom from the rule of law is tempered by our service to and love of others. We must also exercise self-control (1 Corinthians 6:12). And our freedom in Christ never provides an excuse for sin: “Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves” (1 Peter 2:16)." Excerpt from https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-freedom.html
In this time of the end, dear Father, please help us focus on You in this sea of sin, confusion, chaos and evil. We are thankful your Holy Spirit guides us to Your way which is right. Most of all we ask you keep us filled with your supernatural love for those who are lost and perishing, so we may point them to the Savior to be saved from eternal death. Protect the young innocents during this time so they may come to you even as the devil attempts to destroy them. Please help us be ready with no distraction when our Savior comes for us. Thank you for your spiritual armor and continue to remind us we are not fighting against others but against satanic principalities and powers, and that our SAVIOR, KING JESUS CHRIST IS ALREADY VICTORIOUS! We will live forever orever in victory with Lord Jesus Christ! Thank you Dear Lord Jesus! We look forward to seeing every knee bow and proclaim Your Name forever! Amen.

Romans 8:2–8 NKJV
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 14:1-23 ESV
As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment
on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. ...
1 Corinthians 6:12 ESV
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.

Romans 8:5-8 ESV
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not ot submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

1 Peter 3:1-22 ESV
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let et your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on
of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, ...
Hebrews 6:1-20 ESV
Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits. For it is impossible, in the case of
those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, ...
1 Corinthians 8:12 ESV
Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 5:11 ESV
But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the
name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.
Matthew 19:1-30 ESV
Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any
cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? ...
Matthew 15:11 ESV
It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
Isaiah 40:31 ESV
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 1:1-31 ESV
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and nd Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: “Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled
against me. The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.” Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised
the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ...
2 Peter 3:16 ESV
As he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.

As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”
Proverbs 20:1 ESV
Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.
Psalm 19:1-14 ESV
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor
are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In
them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
...

Whoredom, wine, and new wine, which take away the understanding.
Psalm 107:1-43 ESV
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

Genesis 1:1-31 ESV
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. ...
Genesis 2:1-25 ESV
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in
the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land,
and there was no man to work the ground, ...

" So our freedom from the rule of law is tempered by our service to and love of others. We must also exercise self-control "
O Lord, at one time we knew what it meant to be created in Your image, that who each one of us are, are souls (source of self, personality, sex) whose citadel is spirit (mind, will) embedded within the physical matter of our bodies, or flesh. But under the corrupting influence of Darwinism, ideologies, and other poisonous humanist conceptions many have forgotten who they are, and imagining they are just flesh, exercise no self-control. Please have mercy on Your people for not understanding and throwing down these evil philosophies of men under control of evil spirits. Help us Lord to bring the Truth of who we really are to the lost that they might be found. In the Holy Name of our Creator the Word Jesus Christ, Amen!
Amen. Thank you.
