Here are six bible verses for the week of the 4th of July about freedom.
Hosea 8:1-14 ESV
Set the trumpet to your lips! One like a vulture is over the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my law. To me they cry, “My God, we—Israel—know you.” Israel has spurned the good; the enemy shall pursue him. They made kings, but not through me. They set up princes, but I knew it not. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction. I have spurned your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence? …
1 Peter 2:13-17 ESV
Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
Hebrews 13:14 ESV
For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
Mark 12:17 ESV
Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at him.
Ezekiel 36:26 ESV
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Proverbs 24:17 ESV
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
Job 9:24-26 ESV
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covers the faces of its judges— if it is not he, who then is it? “My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good. They go by like skiffs of reed, like an eagle swooping on the prey.
Numbers 7:1-89 ESV
On the day when Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle and had anointed and consecrated it with all its furnishings and had anointed and consecrated the altar with all its utensils, the chiefs of Israel, heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were listed, approached and brought their offerings before the Lord, six wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon for every two of the chiefs, and for each one an ox. They brought them before the tabernacle. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the service of the tent of meeting, and give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service.”
Closing prayer; Lord, how we long to live in a world that is truly free and liberated, but Lord, help us see beyond our own limited perception of what is true liberty in this world, and to understand that my desire to see this world governed by men of integrity and goodness, is a pipe-dream that can never be realized – for we are a sinful race that lives in a fallen world, which is currently being governed by Satan, who is called, ‘the god of this world.’
Father, help all who are Your children to understand that until the Lord Jesus returns to break forever the power of this fallen world system, there will be no peace or prosperity or freedom on earth.
Thank You, that Jesus is coming back soon to right all the wrongs. Thank You, that when Jesus returns, He will proclaim freedom to the captives, recover sight to the blind, and to set at liberty those who are oppressed.
Help all Your people to see this world from Your perspective and pray into Your will, knowing that only when Christ returns will the earth experience true freedom. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
For those who wish to become a child of our heavenly Lord, or strengthen thier faith, please pray the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!”
By saying this prayer, we believe you are born again.
