This is the Land of the Truly Free...

Please watch the You Tube video also posted today entitled "Did you Feel the Mountains Tremble?" and worship the Lord.  Open up the door and let the music play.  Let the music penetrate your heart and bring you to His throne room.  And then read these verses all of the way through.  Let them speak to you and change you and make you truly free.

"'Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who has compassion on you." Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)  

Psalm 34

¹ I bless God every chance I get;
  my lungs expand with his praise.

 ² I live and breathe God;

   if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy:

 ³ Join me in spreading the news;

   together let's get the word out.

 ⁴ God met me more than halfway,

   he freed me from my anxious fears.

 ⁵ Look at him; give him your warmest smile.

   Never hide your feelings from him.

 ⁶ When I was desperate, I called out,

   and God got me out of a tight spot.

 ⁷ God's angel sets up a circle

   of protection around us while we pray.

 ⁸ Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see—

         how good God is.

   Blessed are you who run to him.

 ⁹ Worship God if you want the best;

   worship opens doors to all his goodness.

 ¹⁰ Young lions on the prowl get hungry,

   but God-seekers are full of God.

 ¹¹ Come, children, listen closely;

   I'll give you a lesson in God worship.

 ¹² Who out there has a lust for life?

   Can't wait each day to come upon beauty?

 ¹³ Guard your tongue from profanity,

   and no more lying through your teeth.

 ¹⁴ Turn your back on sin; do something good.

   Embrace peace—don't let it get away!

 ¹⁵ God keeps an eye on his friends,

   his ears pick up every moan and groan.

 ¹⁶ God won't put up with rebels;

   he'll cull them from the pack.

 ¹⁷ Is anyone crying for help? God is listening,

   ready to rescue you.

 ¹⁸ If your heart is broken, you'll find God right there;

   if you're kicked in the gut, he'll help you catch your breath.

 ¹⁹ Disciples so often get into trouble;

   still, God is there every time.

 ²⁰ He's your bodyguard, shielding every bone;

   not even a finger gets broken.

 ²¹ The wicked commit slow suicide;

   they waste their lives hating the good.

 ²² God pays for each slave's freedom;

   no one who runs to him loses out.  (The Message)
