Freedom 2...

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Cor 3:17-18)

Freedom is present only where the Spirit of the Lord is present.
There is no other freedom, no for individuals, no for families, no for nations.
Is the Spirit of the Lord present in this nation? In my nation? My family? Me?
What would be the proof? not only saying so because we sometimes ‘praise the Lord with our lips, but our hearts are far from Him’… our hearts and our actions. Hearts that treasure worldly, temporary things… the idols of this age. Faith with no action… that is dead.

Lord, help me, help us to see without veils your glory. So we will be transformed. No veils of organized religion, no veils of dividing denominations, no veils of nationalism, no veils of pride, no veils of discrimination, no veils vain judgment, of selfish mind sets, no veils of ‘we are already there’… Help us oh Lord.
