GOD and Pig and Independence Day

Good Morning

I said, to Pig.

Pig responded, Good Morning.

Is this Independence Day?

Yes, Pig It is July 4th and we are Celebrating our 250th Birthday

OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

What does independence mean? Pig asked.

I ask Pig, What do you think it is?

Pig sat up straight and thought about it.

Pig said, to feel Free from rules and obligations being given by someone else that you didn't want to do in the first place?

Pig continued speaking,

Like making your bed or having to go to school or do chores or go to work.

Is that it? Pig said.

I responded

I could see that you would see it that way?

It actually is very close to true not knowing our history of being told what to do and who to serve as a people.

The Kingdom Rule was Mostly Control over people including the Catholic Church and to pay taxes and serve a King and Queen rule over the people.

Independence day came and then we had to fight again even when we escaped to America.

The kingdom we wanted was the kingdom of GOD in our lives..

FREEDOM TO WORSHIP

FREEDOM TO SPEAK

FREEDOM TO LIVE WITH OUR FAMILIES NOT BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO SO WE COULD HAVE HAPPINESS

FREEDOM TO BEAR ARMS TO PROTECT OURSELVES

FREEDOM FROM TAXES

It sounds like a fairy tale? Pig said.

Yes, Pig it Was a fairy tale until we made a covenant with GOD 1607 THAT OUR PRESIDENT RE PROCLAIMED FOR OUR NATION this year APRIL 2025

AND 1620 THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT.

WE ALL NEED TO READ THESE PROCLAMATIONS , COVENANTS AND PRAYERS TO GOD.

Why Pig asked.

Good question Pig.

My answer is TO KNOW WHO WE ARE AS A PEOPLE AND A NATION.

TO KNOW THE PROMISE TO GOD AND HIS ANSWER TO BLESS THIS NATION AND ISRAEL BY GOD and in our daily Prayers.

TO ALWAYS REMEMBER, TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN.

THE BIRTH OF HIS SON AND THE DEATH AND RESURECTION FROM THE DEAD.

THE GOSPEL MESSAGE WITH THE BOOK CALLED THE BIBLE TO ESTABLISH THIS ONE NATION

UNDER GOD

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Pig asked Is that when the pledge of aligiance to the flag started?

That is Part of the words Pig, but that came later at 1776.

OUR DECLARTION OF INDEPENDENCE written on JULY 4TH 1776.

AND THEN THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

WE NEED TO READ THIS AGAIN. TO KNOW IT AND TO READ IT AND THE BIBLE.

Pig and I with our hand over our heart standing looking at our flag.

I help Pig her arms are so short. As we say together.

WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE

TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

AND

TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS

ONE NATION

UNDER GOD

INDIVISIBLE

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

This is what we said in school everyday Pig.

Our hand over our heart

Our attention was looking at the Flag.

We did this together as a class and was in one mind of agreement being a part of our country as it's citizens.

We also had the Ten commandments in our class rooms.

Just like in our Nations Capital.

We had respect for our Teachers and our Teachers had respect for each of us as their students.

The Teacher had a song book of Patriot songs.

We had a song book too.

We would sing together.

What did that do to you to start your morning like that everyday?

Pig asked.

We had a SPIRIT OF JOY

It is was like giving hope for the day.

Just like saying your greeting GOOD MORNING.

I said that yesterday.

When you start your day you want to embrace goodness and kindness and energy.

To be able to focus on the things of the day you want or need to do with a happy attitude.

You want to think of things you want to do well.

So you Pray and ask GODS GUIDANCE .

You want the hope of the day to match your Prayer.

Back then, we could Pray in school.

We could dicuss questions in the BIBLE if we had them.

We had real CHRISTMAS SONGS, LIKE AWAY IN THE MANGER

OR LITTLE TOWN OF BETHELEHEM AND SILENT NIGHT as well as RUDOLF AND THE RED NOSE REINDEER and SANTA IS COMING TO TOWN.

We celbrated Coloring Pictures both The manger scenes and the three wise men as well as

THE CROSS OF CHRIST

OUR

THE LORD. AT EASTER TIME.

We also had activities of making bunnies and eating candy and cupcakes at our parties.

We seeemed to have a better understanding of how to play pretend and know what was real and enjoying both.

We were children.

We loved GOD and fun and recess.

Just like the same feeling YOU GET NOW when its time to go home after work.

OH YEAH.

IT IS THE WEEKEND.

Having INDEPENDENCE from THE GOVERMENT or a MONARCHY,

IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU INDEPENDENCE FROM GOD.

WE NEED GOD EVERYDAY OF OUR LIFE.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE FREE CHOICE DAILY.

TO DECIDE

TO SERVE THE DEVIL TODAY AND YOURSELF AND YOUR PLEASURES ONLY.

OR

YOU CAN SERVE GOD AND HIS FREEDOM FROM SIN AND JOY IN YOUR HEART THAT GIVES FREEDOM INSIDE YOU.

AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. JOSHUA 24:15

CHOOSING WHAT YOU DO DAILY TO BE PLEASING AND TO BE ALL READY TO GO WHEN YOUR LAST DAY COMES OR WHEN YOU GET TO GO UP YONDER.

( MEANING HEAVEN OR THE RAPTURE) I CORINTHIANS 15:52

Pig asks, Does this mean we can't go anywhere or do anything?

Funny Pig. That is another lie of the enemy. NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING?

Think about it.

Do we have famous CHRISTIAN ATHLETES, MOVIE STARS, EVERY SPORT KNOWN AND SINGERS TOO.

THAT LIVE LIFE PLEASING TO GOD.

Do you KNOW? We have Adventurers and Writers and Surfers and Skate boarders and Doctors and Nurses and College Professors Police and Sheriffs and Bkers and Chefs and Students at all ages that have chosen JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND LORD.

Pig, to let you know most of our MILITARY ALL BRANCHES KNOW GOD.

They do have CHAPLAINS. Those are Military MINISTERS OF GOD.

WHY, YOU ASK?

Because PIG, Any day they are sent out ON MISSION to PROTECT YOU AND ME?

THEY NEED TO BE READY.

MIND BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT TO FIGHT AS WELL AS LAY THEIR LIFE DOWN FOR YOU.

IF THEY DO KNOW JESUS?

THEY KNOW ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS PRESENT WITH CHRIST.

2 CORITHIANS 5:8

THEY KNOW THEY HAVE SAID YES, TO JESUS FORGIVE MY SINS AND HELP ME LIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU.

THEY HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN.

THEY KNOW THEY ARE READY.

THEY KNOW THEIR NAME IS IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.

THEY ALSO KNOW TO PRAY FOR THEIR LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS AND TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY KNOW TO BE TRUE.

THAT IF YOUR NAME IS NOT IN THE BOOK OF LIFE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HEAVEN.

REVELATION 20:15

Pig said that doesn't seem fair..

Well Pig you can argue with THE FATHER WHO IS HEAVEN and SENT

HIS SON JESUS CHRIST TO BE HUNG ON THE CROSS TORTURED AND BEATEN FOR ALL MANKIND SINS.

PAST

PRESENT

AND

FUTURE

HE DIED AND ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY SO YOU SAY:

YES, TO JESUS.

THE HOLY SPIRIT STAYS WITHIN YOU TO GUIDE YOU AND COMFORT YOU

YOUR NAME IS NOW IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.

YOUR DESTINY IS NOW MORE EASILY SEEN AS WELL AS YOUR TALENTS.

HE IS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU.

WHEN YOU GO THROUGH TROUBLES HE WILL TURN IT AROUND FOR GOOD NOT EVIL AS YOU SEEK HIM .

JEREMIAH 29:11

BUT IF YOU DON'T SEEK HIM OR ACCEPT THE GIFT OF LIFE AND HIS FORGIVENESS FOR YOU.

YOUR NAME IS NOT PLACED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.

GOD IS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU.

YOU CAN CALL HIM ANYTIME.

WHEN YOUR 911 HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE .

YOU KNOW HE IS THERE.

YOU KNOW TO PRAY.

SAY YES, TO JESUS AND YOUR LIFE CHANGES FROM DEATH TO LIFE.

YOU KNOW Sometimes we take HIM for granted.

Sometimes we are so familiar with HIS VOICE as HE SAYS GO HERE OR THERE.

IS THAT GOD OR ME?

Funny Pig sometimes we don’t even realize we are HEARING FROM GOD .

Sometimes we don’t SEE HIM for who HIS.

WE NEED TO REMEMBER.

HE IS HOLY.

ONIMPOTENT AND OMINIPRESENT.

Pig asked what is that again?

I ANSWERED SAYING HE HAS

UNLIMITED POWER AND ABLE TO DO ANYTHING

AND

HE IS EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME.

JUST TO BE AMAZED PIG

HE MADE TIME IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS 1:4

HE SITS ABOVE THE HEAVENS ABOVE TIME

ISAIAH 40:22

HE IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA

HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END

AND PIG

HE SEES IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

SO WE SAY HALLOWED BE THY NAME

BECAUSE HE IS HOLY.

HE ISTHE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE

HE IS THE FATHER THATCREATED LIFE

AND

BREATHE INTO LIFE INTO THE FIRST MAN

AND

GOD called him ADAM Then gave him a helper a companion who would be the Mother of mankind .

Her name given was EVE.

That I have shared the GENESIS STORY many times to you Pig.

Pig said. I remember.

I think we should Pray Pig.

OK, I SAID BUT

FIRST WE SHOULD PRAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO REMEMBER TO TELL THE REAL STORY OF CHRISTMAS AND EASTER EVERY CHANCE WE GET.

Times around us seem to be changing so FAST.

I KNOW GOD GIVES US A NUDGE TO SHARE.

So when your talking or texting you need to ask yourself for the subject of JESUS to be brought up to rescue their soul from HELL or just say to our self oh well, maybe another day?

Pig asked, But what if there isn't another day?

EXACTLY MY POINT, PIG.

Such Pressure. Pig said.

I responded, It doesn't have to be Pig.

What do you mean? Pig said.

Do you remember the MOVIE ELF?

Yes, Pig said.

Do you remember when ELF fell in love? Yes, Pig said.

In The Movie,

His emotions so big as he broke into his Dads office to share the news as he was having a meeting.

Stating "I AM IN LOVE AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT".

It is in that feeling we share THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS IN OUR HEART AND WEKNOW WE ARE GOING TO HEAVEN AND YOU WANT YOUR FRIEND TO GO TOO.

That may be the way you think when you share the good news of saying YES to JESUS.

The next part of this DAY IS FOR THE LORDS PRAYER FOR PIG AND ME.

and of course any other requests or scriptures that you can pray with by placing your loved ones name in the words of GOD, It so powerful to speak THE WORDS OF GOD BACK TO GOD ACKNOWLEDGING HIS WORD AND HIS PROMISES HE HAS GIVEN YOU IN THE BIBLE AS YOU PRAY.

THE LORDS PRAYER

OUR FATHER

WHO ART IN HEAVEN

HALLOWED BE THY NAME

THY KINGDOM COME

THY WILL BE DONE

ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD

AND

FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES

AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US

AND

LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

BUT

DELIVER US FROM EVIL

FOR THINE

IS THE KINGDOM

AND

THE POWER

AND

THE GLORY

FOREVER AND EVER

AMEN.

THINK ABOUT HOW BIG GOD IS WHEN YOU PRAY.

HOW AMAZING HE IS AND HE LOVES YOU.

HE SPOKE THE WORLDS INTO EXISTENCE.

HE says the Earth is HIS FOOTSTOOL. ISAIAH 66:1

HIS EYES ARE FOREVER ON ISRAEL JERUSALEM PSALM 1:21-4

HE LOVES US WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE JEREMIAH 31:3

OUR HAIRS ON OUR HEAD ARE NUMBERED BY HIM LUKE 12:7

HE KNOWS OUR THOUGHTS BEFORE WE THINK THEM PSALMS 139:2

HE IS ALWAYS WITH US MATHEW 28:20

HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US EVEN UNTIL THE END OF TIME THAT HE MADE THAT TOO. DEUTERONOMY 31:8

HE MADE EVERTHING SEEN AND UNSEEN.

COLOSSIANS 1:16

HE KNOWS ALL OF THE STARS BY NAME AND THEY GLORY TO GLORY WHICH MEAN THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT.

PSALM 147:4

HE MAKES EACH SNOWFLAKE

DIFFERENT.

JOB 38:22

HE MAKES EACH OF US DIFFERENT ROMANS 6-8 1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-11

AND 1PETER 4:10-11

WITH SPECIAL TALENTS AND GIFTS..

THIS WAS WORTH REPEATING ABOUT THE WONDERS OF GOD AND THERE IS MORE TO SAY.

Pig interupted me as I was just getting going .

Pig said, I LOVE GOD.

but,

I think I am hungry now for my Pancakes and my morning nap that is now late.

Ok Pig.

Pancakes will be ready soon.

Have a Happy day to you all,

AS YOU ENJOY YOUR 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND

YOUR BBQ AND FAMILY AND FRIEND GATHERINGS.

As you remember to say a Prayer

FOR THE PEACE OF ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ITS VETERANS AND THE MILTARY AND THEIR FAMILIES ALL BRANCHES WITH

THE LORDS PRAYER OVER THEM.

JUST KNOW GOD HAS IT ALL IN CONTROL AND NOT TO WORRY.

TRUST HIM.

KNOW HIM AND PRAY EVERY DAY VACATION OR NOT

HE IS THERE WITH YOU AND FOR YOU.
