LET FREEDOM RING!

Listen to the bell toll -
Do you hear it’s ring?

When we die to self -
our freedom begins!
​
The pure in heart
are about to enter in.
They are being prepared
for God's Kingdom.

Freedom rings for God's children
who’ve been washed clean from sin.

Life, Liberty and Justice
is for for ALL who believe in Him.

Jesus is the truth, the life and the way.
It’s only through his precious blood that we can be saved.

TRANSFORMATION BY TRANSFUSION
Healthy blood
is what we need
to take away
the impurities,
and when his blood
enters in,
our spiritual heart
begins to beat again.
That's when
Holy Spirit comes to guide our way.
He tests us in the wilderness
to see if we will trust and obey.

Tempted in the wilderness -
is how he knows our heart.
Will we align our thoughts,
to set ourselves apart?

Liberty and Freedom
can only be found through Christ.
Chains cannot be broken
through our own device.

Man was made with a hole -
a longing for his Word.
Worship lies within the heart
that beats just for the Lord.

When Adam ate from the Tree,
he decided to follow his humanity
instead of honoring God's sovereignty.

This was a choice he could not afford,
he experienced more than he bargained for.
Sometimes it’s better to be content,
then to try to be our own Lord.

He bit off more than he could chew,
and instantly he knew
that he wasn’t supposed to.

But instead of manning up,
and taking responsibility,
he hid in shame,
pointed his finger
and began to blame.
As soon as he became aware of evil,
his life of peace suddenly changed.

This is what evil shows,
when the heart is exposed -
our misalignment from the Lord.

It’s like a shadow
that moves all on its own.
It’s a scary thing,
when our heart is exposed.

Since we are made in his image,
and have been given his own heart.
Shouldn’t we stay in position,
and not depart?

Instead of being God’s reflection, 
and waiting for his move -
we decide to use our free will,
to move to our own groove.

Seriously, how scary is this?
Think about it!
If your shadow started to move
while you were standing still,
Wouldn’t you freak out,
and yell, “What the fricking hell?”

That would scream pure evil,
so loud and so clear!
I would jolt up out of there,
and run away in fear!

But our God is not like us,
He understands so much more.
He created all that exists
a long time ago!

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 
Now the earth was formless and empty, 
darkness was over the surface of the deep, 
and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, 
“Let there be light,” and there was light.
 
God saw that the light was good, 
and he 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 1:1-5

Prior to Christ on Earth,
God gave us the prefect gift.
He gave us a hallelujah
and an amen to lift.

Worship was within us,
right down to the core.
But instead of being content,
we had to know more.

In our desire,
we ate the fleshly fruit.
It gave birth to sin
and rebellion started to root.

It started out as honey,
it tasted oh so sweet.
But as it went down,
bitterness pooled in our feet.

Adam looked at Eve,
and saw what he had done.
He saw that he was naked,
then he started to turn and run.

Humanity became the object,
upon which Adam defined himself.
God was no longer the center,
he was taken off the shelf.

Secular humanism
was intimately defined,
when humans 
became the apple of their eyes.

They believe destiny
is in their sole control,
and solutions come
when they know more.

Obsessed with our own image,
we stop looking at him. 
This is how fall even deeper
into our own sin.

We run around in circles
trying to find our way.
We build our own towers
while continuing to disobey.

We hold onto bitterness
instead of coming back.
We resent our Creator
for the heart that we lack.

We choose selfish desires, 
and make excuses not to repent.
We prefer a heart of stone,
to a heart of flesh.

This is the image that moves
all on its own,
this is the image of man
who refuses to wait upon the Lord.

This is the man
who knows it all. 
This is the shadow
of the man who is self-absorbed!

The Lord says,
"​Knowledge is what they seek,

but wisdom comes from me." 

The man aligned to the Spirit 
of the our Father God,
will reflect the Son,
and bud like Aaron's Rod.
 
He will not move,
until directed to.
He will hold onto his faith,
and stand firm on God's truth.

Scripture says
that freedom rings
for the pure in heart.
They shall see God,
and will never again be apart.
