“Taking up your life” by becoming individually sovereign is great, but that’s only half of the idea 💡:

“The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” John‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭

The true measure of a man is whether or not, after having taken up his life, he’s willing to lay it down again.
After becoming sovereign, willingly electing personal slavery. ❤️
