195 – Have you ever thought about having a Spiritual Independence Day?

July 4 is celebrated in the United Sates as Independence Day.

It's the anniversary of the day, back in 1776 when a small group of men, gathered in Philadelphia, and after much discussion and debate, decided to declare independence from England.

If you would like to read a copy of that document, and don’t have one, click this link: The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

If you are a citizen of the United States, this is of deep importance. And it has served as a model for other countries.

But it also serves as a metaphor for each of us to declare our independence from negative, material, and evil influences, that would pull us away from our God-given heritage and freedoms.

Declaration of Spiritual Independence

It is in this spirit that I share something I wrote several years ago and had on my website, but have now updated. It is a Declaration of Spiritual Independence.

But it’s not enough just to declare our independence from the material and evil influences of the world. Just as those early Americans had to defend their newly proclaimed freedom and then fight to establish it, at times we need to defend our right to be free of worldly influences.

I encourage you to print off a copy of this Declaration of Spiritual Independence, sign it, and put it somewhere you can see it.
