SELF-IMPRISONMENT
Master locksmith and magician , Harry Houdini, once found himself locked in by his own thinking. After being shackled and confined in a Scottish jail, the officer closed the cell door and walked away. Houdini was quickly able to free himself from the metal shackles, and then went to work on the cell door lock. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not open the lock. After many hours, he felt totally exhausted and leaned against the door to rest. To his surprise, it immediately swung open and he fell into the corridor. Actually, the guard never locked the door. He just made Houdini think that he did.
Of course, prison locks and bars are not the only means of holding people captive. Indeed, it is entirely possible to be personally confined and trapped in ‘stinkin-thinkin’ – especially when we buy in to negativity or the judgmental opinions of others. My friend, never allow yourself to be imprisoned by apparent circumstances, or illness, or loss, or pain, or criticism, or habits, or anything else. Christ has set you free, so be free indeed. (John 8:36 – Romans 8:1)
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
