Is the LORD in America? (Part 2)

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
2 Corinthians 3:17

Christians should be abolitionists.
Freedom fighters.
Liberators.
Filled, led, and empowered by The Liberator:  The Spirit of the Lord.

Liberty is from Christ.
Slavery is Antichrist.

But we speak flippantly of our liberties, so a definition is necessary.

By "liberty," I mean that we are free to be what God made us to be and do what God made us to do. That we follow One alone, and are subject to One alone:  Our Creator, Maker, Master, Owner.  

We have one identity and Identifier.  We are only what He says we are.  God defined.
Free.

Free from the system of Satan's deceptions of self-centered self gratifications--
Self consciousness.
Self focus.
Selfishness instead of Divine Purpose.

Not free to simply say what we want and do what we want and go where we want and believe what we want.  This is slavery.  Slavery to impulses and people and politics.  How often can you have a conversation without a demand of categorization or denomination?

"Are you Democrat or Republican?"
"Are you Baptist or Anglican?"
"Are you Liberal or Conservative?"
"Of whom are you supportive?"

Slaves
Robots
Clones
Drones

Christ came to set captives free.
All who sin are slaves of sin.
He came to set us free from living self consciously.

This is liberty, the end of all slavery:  God's glory.
 
Be free, and set others free.
In America, show true liberty.
