To Break the Yoke of Bondage

Freedom in Christ
Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
We also spoke of their happiness. Their hard work...good hard work, but the happiness that it brings them all. We spoke of faith, our Lord and Savior, as Children came silently in and out, ever smiling but never butting in. The boys and young men were working hard outside with their father who peeked his head in the door and on occasion spoke in the familiar Dutch tongue so we "Englishers" would not need to be party to family discussions. Quietly, one child would slip out, do a chore, and come back. It was amazing. "momma" was finishing up folding laundry on the long kitchen table as jars of pork were pressure canning on the wood burning stove. "Momma" also was delighted to show me the in's and out's of the wood burning stove that left the home nice and cozy on this bright but chilly January day. She showed me the water reservoir on the side of the stove, where to clean out the ashes (much easier than her older, smaller stove which had a clean out on the side instead of front). She also showed me the extra pot ever present on the top in case extra water was needed.
I soaked up all I could. She told me she uses Sulfur, Wood Ashes, and Lime in each hole she digs and plants her plants. Good to know, they grow amazingly well! They learned from us tricks Michelle and mom and I learned with our 6 month stint without electricity. We talked of ice making outside. As we traveled into this simple world I found it's incredible complexities mesmerizing...
I wonder what mister Tocqueville would say today if he meandered through America's great cities as he did in the 1830's? He found a world much like the one I walked through today. Would he say America is great? Would he see a "good" America? Or, would he see an America that has left it's moral foundation and in doing so, it's true foundation for real liberty?
If, indeed, America has strayed away from it's Godly foundations and is now more a slave to sin, what do we do? Who can save us? What can be done?
The Anointing Breaks the Yoke!
I just read this yesterday and it hit me like a ton of bricks!
Isaiah 10: 27 It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
I have always heard "the anointing breaks the yoke," but when I went in search of the exact scripture I could not find it.. until yesterday. Now, what is a yoke? Yoke’ means a bar of wood, so constructed as to unite two animals (usually oxen), enabling them to work in the fields, drawing loads, pulling instruments used for farming.
When God breaks the yoke with His anointing, he is breaking the enemies hold on your life to make you WORK for the "man." Oxen are lead by their masters to serve them and work for them. God wants his people to be FREE, free to follow him all day everyday.
Do you work for someone else? Do you put in long hours like an oxen slaving away while someone else takes the fruit of your labors. Do not despair. Keep getting in the Word, keep seeking the Lord and getting into the anointing and eventually those walls of Jericho will come down! Don't give up, don't get discouraged!

People around you, even you yourself are going to remind everyone of what Ford and FDR did for you and this country. I am going to tell you what they robbed you of. .. What you have lost. Here is a comment from Facebook
The Lord said to be a free and independent citizen, country, or to live a free and independent life we must turn to God and ask God for everything we need. Seeds, cows, chickens, house, barn etc. (food, meat, eggs, milk etc.) Not to depend on others, but God. I'm not sure about your meaning on money, but the Money in this country was illegally established by the government and the Fed. The dollar bill is evil. It is made by evil men who want to control the country by controlling the money. We studied Rothschild, we also studied Ford. These two men have done more damage to the "morals and sovereignty" of this country than any two men in the earth's history.
No freedom. Your boss tells what you are going to earn, when you are going to get up, what you are going to do all day long. It's like you never left public school still walking in obedience to your teachers. Herion addicts, alcoholics, sexually obsessed, mental illness, there are lives destroyed everywhere. No security, no idea whether your job will be there tomorrow.

| God says: This is punishment, slavery. |
Your children have trillions of dollars on their backs for their future. Never to live free.
When you farm on your own land- NO longer a slave to sin and an immoral unhealthy life.
There is nothing more Godly, healthy and moral than to "love your family" and "love your Family's Farm".
God is always working. God works inside us to bring out His light and love into the world. God has done a work in all of us for us to love our country, our Families, and our family's farm. God in his work on the earth created America. As the song goes, God set her free, He will keep her free, He will lead her and guide her. The Founding Fathers did not create the government. God did. He established America on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In order to live free independent lives, it is our privilege, duty, and responsibility to constantly mediate on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For it is God's power to Salvation. Every American needs God's power to stay free. This is where our rights to live free independent life come from. Heaven exists by God's self-sustaining power of God: The Word of God, which is the Gospel. America must be self-sustaining like Heaven. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power each American needs within themselves to stay free and independent.

| Loving the family farm! I ask, again, what if Alexis Toqueville came to America today? Would he see an America that has loosened the bands of slavery to sin and immorality, an America that freed ourselves from tyranny of England, then loosen the bands of black slavery, only to have retied those same bands upon all it's citizenry? America is great because America is free from any kind of slavery, (slavery to sin, slavery to tyranny, slavery to men,) by the power of God! The Gospel f Jesus Christ! No longer a slave, but a child of God. FREE! 2 Corinthians 11:19 You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! 20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face. Sons and Heirs
Galatians 4:1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Galatians 4:8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? |
