Bound

For many years I have been misunderstood with why I travel across the country and Canada teaching others about my own faith in God.

Last weekend I spent time with some friends that I haven’t seen for close to 25 years and their children. We were able to pick up right where we left off. The whole weekend we spoke of our faith, the path the Lord has put us on and our future. It was wonderful!

My friend came to me on Sunday morning before church and said I feel in my heart that the Lord would like me to share this with you.

He said I now understand your job Jim. I believe you are sent by God now in our time to teach all of us that we are not Elephants bound with ropes. I looked at him and said, OK? He said trainers take chains and bind Elephants when they are young and they learn they can’t break these chains. As they get older they replace the chains with small ropes and the Elephant believes that he can’t break these ropes, but they can if they only realized how strong they are. You are teaching all of us that we can break the ropes Satan has bound us with and we can stand up against him, his spirits and his demons and we DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM HIM ANYMORE! I almost started to cry.

Sometimes we forget; “My children, you belong to God. You have won the victory over those prophets who are not true. You have won because the Spirit that is in you is stronger than the spirit that is in the world. 1 John 4:4 (WE)

We are not defenseless against Satan and his forces. We have the power to stand and fight. That power comes from our Father in Heaven. We are no longer blind! We can see him now more than ever. And I can tell you that the more of us who break our ropes and stand against him the more he will be AFRAID OF US!

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 (ESV)

Stop allowing him to victimize you. STAND AND FIGHT!
