CAGED vs UNCAGED, Part One

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. -Marianne Williamson

Sometimes we have lived in the dark so long; it feels normal. When a shimmer of light shines though we fear that which is not normal. Like a prisoner of war in solitary confinement; we fear the light and the presence behind the door. We know there is more but we chose to live in fear and darkness. These become common and normal. Yet the light was what we are created for; how we are to live.

Jesus Christ is the light. He is the light within us. The greatness of Christ is the greatness in us. We are more fearful of the greatness of God’s plan for our lives that we often chose to be bound. Some of the things that bind us are not all bad, but they keep us from the greatness of God. However, many things that bind us choke out the power and presence of Holy Spirit working in us. Christ has already freed us. He has called us to freedom (Gal 5:13). Yet, we allow our chains to cage us. Why are so many Christians living in cages today when they have been called out…they have been summoned…to freedom?

Christian, you are not inadequate and you are not powerless! You are more powerful and more blessed than you can imagine! Do not fear what is meant to free. Break the chains; live life UNCAGED! Live a life guided by the adventure of the Holy Spirit...think about it!!!
