Podcasts about dependence day

Have you ever stopped to think about how much a basketball, football or golf club is worth in your hands? Less than a hundred bucks, and that's on a good day. But in the hands of Michael Jordan, Tom Brady and Tiger Woods, they're worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Whose hands you put something in makes a huge difference. Think about holding a couple of nails, how valuable would they be in your hands? But put nails into the hands of Jesus Christ to shed His blood, and that provides salvation. Christian, whose hands have you put your hopes, your dreams and yes, even your troubles into? Your hands or His hands? Psalm 92 is a short but mighty psalm, and it is an excellent illustration of the importance of putting yourself into the right hands. First and foremost, your hands cannot solve your problems, and indeed are likely the cause of them. All week long at the Bookstore, we have been having our ‘Dependence Day' Sale on books and stuff. But the title of that sale is more than a mere ‘play on words', it shows we, as blood-bought Christians, are dependent on Jesus Christ for every breath we take, every morsel of food we eat and every beat of our heart. We live in a world where every day we read posts about taking control, seizing the day, and working like a boss, when the exact opposite is true. Arrested on the road to Damascus, the ‘alpha male' Saul came face to face with the risen Lord Jesus, and very wisely put it all into His hands. Do you desire to flourish? Then you need the right place to be planted. On this Sunday Service we open our King James Bibles and go looking for a ‘touch of the Master's hands'.

Is the USA the greatest country in the world? If not, should we still be thankful? From what are we celebrating independence?

This weeks message is from Ps. Jock James.

Anyone's life can change in a split second from a catastrophic accident, stroke or other tragic event. Our guest, Mark Raymond Jr., Founder of the Split Second Foundation, had his life change in a split second when he broke his neck after diving into shallow water while boating with friends in 2016. The accident resulted in him becoming a C-5 quadriplegic. During Mark's immediate recovery from his injury--inpatient and outpatient therapy--he learned that there are extreme gaps in the recovery process and few resources available to people after being discharged from therapy.He founded Split Second Foundation in 2018 and dedicated it to making people aware of the growing but oftentimes invisible population of people with disabilities, advocating for their rights, funding cutting-edge research, and providing clear cut steps to immediately impact their lives. Within three years of starting the foundation, Mark was able to open Split Second Fitness, which is the first inclusive gym in Louisiana with an intentional focus on people living with paralysis, amputation, or other neurological conditions. Because the majority of people with severe disabilities cannot afford traditional fitness programs, the organization charges a $50 monthly membership fee, providing access to the facility and equipment as well as access to a physical specialist to assist them with weekly training.

As Americans, we're taught from childhood that independence is a good and powerful thing. We celebrate it every Fourth of July. We read about it in our history books. It's part of who we are. While that may be a great thing for a country, we shouldn't be so quick to assume that is the best thing for us as people. In fact, our path to wholeness is found when we embrace our weakness and dependence upon God.

Save One More Now, Inc. presents: Your Dependence Day.A great follow-up to last week's episode, "Your Independence Day."Jerry and Adrienne walk us through a Bible study around the concept of being dependent on Christ. Many mockers will try to tell you that faith in God is restricting, with too many rules. The opposite is true. Many can testify to the power of freedom in the life of a follower of God. Submitting to Christ brings out our freedom and places us in His family. Share this important episode... and have your Bible and notebook ready. As always, approach this show with a teachable spirit. Remember:Life Is GoodGod Gives LifeGod Is Good. 

The signers of the Declaration of Independence were not just making a corporate or political decision to separate from the British: each man was signing a potential death sentence. By placing their names on the Declaration of Independence the Founders of America were stating that they would defy the tyrant King George for the sake of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It was their declaration of independence from the technocratic monarchial rule that demanded their allegiance and their servitude. Today, we are being coerced into a national dependence on our government to provide our daily sustenance and our daily needs. Food supplies are beginning to dwindle. Gas and oil reserves are being depleted and no further contracts for drilling or refining are being made. The great “funneling” of resources in a “sustainable” model as envisioned by the World Economic Forum is being implemented throughout the world. Simply stated, we are moving from an “on demand” free market economy to a “scarcity” model of a socialist economy. Goods and services will be scarce. Choice will dwindle. Distribution will slow. The end result will be dependence on government distribution. We are tearing through the frying pan of a “great reset” and into the fire of enviro-communo-fascism: a journey into dependence. http://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: paypal.me/sovnations patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: sovereignnations.com/subscribe facebook.com/SovereignNations twitter.com/SovNations youtube.com/SovereignNations rumble.com/c/sovnations instagram.com/sovnations/ minds.com/sovnations?referrer=sovnations parler.com/profile/sovnations © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

Here in the States, today is the Fourth Of July, or our Independence Day. Joshua and Kimb look into the subject of independence in regard to the Kingdom. Are we really supposed to be independent or are we supposed to be one? 

Dependence Day

In this powerful episode on the eve of Independence Day, Sean shares why dependence is a much better strategy than independence. We value independence here in the United States, but dependence upon God, our spouse, our team members and others with greater gifts than us, truly leads to a life of peace and significance.

We are growing, and learning what it is to move as one man. The forefathers who built this country knew how to move as one man, tearing down tyrannical dictatorships for the sole purpose of forming a more perfect union. It’s fitting that brother’s Abimbola Daramola & Justin Linton share a message entitled In-dependence Day! They encourage us to dethrone the monarchs of self-rule shown through deceptive pride, entitlement, and toxic independence in the same way they did! All for the purpose of forming a more perfect union for the purpose of moving as one anointed priest!

Market Closed Early for July 4th Holiday The U.S. stock market closed early today, ahead of tomorrow's Fourth of July holiday when the markets are of course closed and Americans are out celebrating Independence Day, the birth of the nation, July 4, 1776.  I love the Fourth of July as a holiday; it is purely American. Framers of the Constitution Risked it All One of the problems I have with the Fourth of July is that it makes me feel both good and bad about what happened on July 4, 1776.  I am honored to have been born in a nation that was conceived in liberty and I think about the sacrifices made by the people who signed their names beneath John Hancock's name to that document. These men risked it all to put their names on the Declaration of Independence, committing treason against the British government.  If we had lost that war, the King would have killed our founding fathers, as traitors. The American Experience is Unique and Privileged So you think back on the accomplishments and the sacrifices that were made and the incredible republic that our founders created.  I'm proud that, but at the same time, I'm sad that it has all been lost.  We no longer have the nation that our founders created for us. We have lost all that it means to be an American. It used to be so special to be American, based on the type of nation that we were, and the type of individuals that Americans were; what it meant to be an American, how unique and privileged it was. The Role of Government in America And today, even though the American economy is regarded as at the top, a lot of that is a function of debt and it's all an illusion. The difference  between an American and any European these days is not nearly as great as it was. If you have never read the Declaration of Independence, and I am sure most of you probably had at some point, you might want to take another look at it, and give the entire document a read.  I am going to read just a part of the second paragraph, because this is the most important aspect to understand the essence of what America is supposed to be, and what the American government is supposed to do.  This is important because there are all these Socialists out there who want to re-define America - Democratic Socialism.  This paragraph helps you understand the role of government in America. We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident Governments can have different roles in different countries, but in America, there is a certain role that government is supposed to have. It had it for a long time, but it no longer fills that role: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —    

Summary Independence Day is a great American holiday, but it fills me with joy and sadness.  I love to commemorate what America was, and the whole idea of what made America different. Once we declared our independence in 1776 the people created a government.  We the people had all the power and we surrendered some of our power to form a limited government.  The government was a creation of the people and they ceded some power to the government. This was unique. As a result of this limited government, this uniquely American way of life, America prospered and created the wealthiest country in the history or the world. So we celebrate the beginning of this experiment in freedom and limited government. Benjamin Franklin famously responded to the question, "What have you given us, Mr. Franklin?": "A republic, if you can keep it." We have become what the founding fathers feared most, a democracy.
