Breaking the Chains!
Good Morning! Acts 26:29 Paul replied, "Short time or long-I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains." Paul was trying to convince King Agrippa here that he needed to become a believer in Jesus Christ.But little did the King realize he was in his own chains.You know Paul spent alot of time preaching the word in physical chains. But yet he was Free all the time.So many of us don't realize that we don't have to be in jail or prison to be prisoners.So many of us today are locked up in our prisons of self! Me included! That is far worse than any jail. Or prison. And I know, cause I have encountered both in my life. And this Prison of Self is far worse.Because even though we are Free,we are still a slave and in the chains of bondage to our own selfish desires and wants.And these chains can come in many different forms. Addictions to Alcohol and Drugs,Money,Sex, Power,Control.But it can also be things like lack of Self Confidence, Feelings of not Fitting in or Arrogance.But whatever it is,these are all Chains that keep us from a True Relationship with God. And there is only one who can Break those Chains.And that one is Jesus Christ. It wasn't until I found Jesus! That I was able to break those Chains.But the thing is,is there are so many chains to break. We as sinners create chains everyday,but that day will come when Jesus will come for us and there will be No More Chains! But until that day,Jesus is the Key! The Key to keep unlocking those Prison Doors of SELF! He is the Key to setting us Free from us.So today if there are some Chains that need to be broken,Look to Jesus! He will help you get out of those Chains! HABD!
