First HARRIET
ROSS TUBMAN,(1819-1913) timeline; 1819 Birth, Araminta
Ross [Harriet Tubman] was born into slavery in 1819 or 1820, in
Dorchester County, Maryland. Given the names of her two parents,
both held in slavery, she was of purely African ancestry. She
was raised under harsh conditions, and subjected to whippings even
as a small child. She slept as close to the fire as possible on
cold nights and sometimes stuck her toes into the smoldering ashes
to avoid frostbite. Cornmeal was her main source of nutrition
and occasionally meat of some kind as her family had the privilege
to hunt and fish. Most of her early childhood was spent with her
grandmother who was too old for slave labor. Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. Born a slave, Harriett Tubman became a famous "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, leading hundreds of slaves to freedom. Harriet Tubman became famous as a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad during the turbulent 1850s. In (1913 her death)

drive from the home. A year after her death, Auburn declared a
one-day memorial to its anti-slavery hero. Residents of the city

display at the entrance of the Cayuga County Court House. She

postage stamp bearing her name and likeness. Visit the Harriet Tubman home in Auburn, New

Good morning Children of God,
The Living Word of God - Freedom !
Scripture warns us about false promises of freedom. For it is written in Ezekiel 33:13, When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if
he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his
righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he
hath committed, he shall die for it. As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. Then Jesus said to those
Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples
indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free."Do you not know that? Read 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. The question is do you desire true freedom? Now read Galatians 5:1-2, Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. Understand, you were called to freedom by God. For it is written in Galatians 5:13, For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
True freedom occurs only in the heart when it is changed from within
and made new. Why ? Because the heart needs to change first. If
our hearts are not changed, neither will our behavior change daily.
That’s why the Bible says that true freedom begins in the heart. We act
on our thoughts and behave according to our desires. True freedom only exists in Jesus Christ children of God.
For those that are free, stay strong and finish your race set before
thy! May God bless you and stay worthy of the calling children of God!
Let us be servants to one another by the Holy Spirit.Amen ! Thank you Lord for your loving kindness. Amen again ! Click on- http://www.nyhistory.com/harriettubman/home.htmGood morning Children of God,
