The Declaration of My Independence

on the fourth of July the United States of America celebrates its Independence Day when the people fought and won against an oppressive ruler who would never let them have any say the Declaration of Independence is that doctrine which upholds certain truths when it comes to our living to have liberty and the pursuit of happiness as those traits now considered a given when I think of myself as a Christian to have been reborn in Christ I realize I have declared a state of independence over my life for the redemption by God has set me free from sin it took away the evilness that attempts to dwell within I now declare the victory like my forefathers had achieved with the freedom to worship the God that I love and believe the adversary no longer has any dominion over my life for I've been cleansed by the blood of my Redeemer Jesus the Christ no longer will I allow any sin to direct my behavior I'm now standing on the foundation of the word of Jesus the Christ my Savior sin is never satisfied and it's progressive in its natural form it starts with curiosity and then goes on and on and you can't get over on sin as it will weaken you every time it will lead to destructive tendencies and will take your last dime it derives from the devil since the moment he fell down to Earth but thank God for the blood sacrifice of Jesus for I now have rebirth Paul in a letter to the Roman church emphasized this very point to tell them that as disciples of the Gospel that now have freedom in this joint so declare your independence from that stronghold called sin to celebrate your victory with prayer again, again and again I declare that I hold these truths to be self-evident that from the tyranny of sin I am now independent no longer bound by any words nor any deeds that have belittled me no longer caught up in toxic relationships that won't allow me to be free no longer under the influence of what the world has to say I declare my independence from sin on this day
