What's your battle, friend?

Today, co-writer Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of "A Miracle Every Day". I pray his message and audio will bless you today. -- If you were to ask an American teenager the significance of July fourth, I would imagine many would not be able to give an accurate mini-history lesson. What freedom was America fighting for? Who were the Americans fighting? What were they willing to lose?  The fourth of July was not just the birthday of the United States of America; it marked a vicious battle against the British kingdom that had colonized it and many other nations. The freedom gained through battles, lives lost, reputations sacrificed and fortunes spent.  friend, are you free, or do you need to fight a massive battle for independence from worry, anger, bitterness, drugs, abuse or poverty? The history of the United States of America is one marked by battles and sacrifices, from British rule to Nazi dominance. Are you willing to fight for personal progress? Are you battling in prayer for your family, city or nation? Are you willing to pay the price for complete freedom?  I’ve met so many people who want change, but they’re unwilling to pay the price. They want to be healthy, but they will not work out. They want prosperity, but they’re unwilling to go back to school. They want to change the world, but they can’t get up the nerve to volunteer.  friend, I believe you can take a giant step when you say yes to real freedom and then take action.  Paul knew freedom was a battle when he said, “Fight the good fight of the faith.” (1 Timothy 6:12, NIV) and “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” (Ephesians 6:11, NIV) friend, I’m praying you will put on the full armor and choose to fight for dependence on God and independence from everything that holds you back.  You’re a miracle.
