Independently Independent – Yet Dependent

“He whom the Son has set free, is free indeed.” John 8:36

In America, many are ending their celebrations of a holiday entitled Independence Day.  This year is especially rewarding because most of the celebrations on last year had to be cancelled because of the corona virus.  Also,  as always, there are various groups who are opposed to the celebration of this day. Nevertheless, this day is still a National Holiday. 

Just as equally or of greater importance is the fact that we, the Saints of the Most High God should be enjoying the fact that we are independently independent.  To be independent is to be; freed, liberated, unconventional, unconstrained and to be an individualist.  We must never cease to remember that we have been released from all of the chains of the enemy; which previously held us captive.

Our freedom has given to us the power and the authority to no longer be suppressed by the mindsets of this world and its chaotic influences. (Romans 12:1 &2)

Our freedom has given to us the ability to excel in every task that we undertake.  (3^rd John 1:2)

Our freedom has given to us the advantage to decide for ourselves whether we will live or die.   

    (Deuteronomy 30:19)

Our freedom has afforded us with supernatural wisdom – if we avail ourselves to it. (James 1:5) This type of wisdom enables us to come to the realization that we must not – although free, be without; guidelines, perimeters and boundaries.  

Therefore, although I am free…..I am yet bound. Although freed from the chains of the enemy; I have chosen to be totally dependent upon the established Kingdom Principles which will assure my current and future success.  I am free enough to be bound! I am free enough not to bow to the conventional, constrained guidelines of mankind – which are desensitizing the effects of God’s Word. I am free enough to appreciate the individualistic character qualities that God Himself has entrusted to me.  I am free enough to walk above every circumstance in this life. Above all; I am free enough to stand in faith until the manifestation of God promises are made visibly evident.

So, as the celebrations conclude, acknowledging the day of independence – I will remember that I am totally independent of every: methodology, ideology, concept and precept of this world; its standards and its mandates. Yet, I am totally dependent upon the Holy Spirit for the wisdom, guidance, and the perseverance to implement every strategic plan that is required for me as a powerfully effective endtime warrior, 

I’ve been freed!  So…. I’m free! Praise the Lord….I’m free…..Yet bound eternally to My Lord!!

^“ I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20 AMP
