My new kitty has been more than skittish. But at times, when I've coaxed her to come out from the under the bed, I've grabbed her and carried her downstairs. She's not too fond of the ride, but once she arrives--wow--she realizes there is so much more to life here at her new home.
We shouldn't let fear hinder us from coming out of our hiding places too.
If we let Him, God will carry us to a better places; delivering us from our comfort zones that are so limited to one perspective. It's always easier to resist Change --because it's not the expected lifestyles we're use to and we may feel out of control or vulnerable to the unexpected.
But that which we perceive as frightening, may be our transition to freedom and liberty.
That's the testimony of many who have come out of traditional boundaries, to engage in a more passionate relationship with Christ. They felt out of their element at first, and temptation to run back under the bed of security was there--but as they resisted their tendencies, and were open-hearted to the new diminsions of God--they realized that it's the traditions of men make 'the Word of God of no effect", and result in a life of powerlessness and unfruitfulness.
As we let go of our fears and embrace God's love, we will revel in the abundant life that Christ came to give us. Upon His death, Jesus Christ descended to the caverns of hell and took back the keys of death and hell---He spoiled principalities and powers, making an open show of them publically, triumphing over them in it. Then He ascended on high leading captivity captive and giving gifts to children of men. The victory was won! He won the victory to set us free from every chain and fetter and to empower us to walk in Victory and Liberty.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.
Christ Anoints or Gives Power to those who live for Him.
The Bible encourages us to live for the Lord with All of our hearts, minds and souls. There is nothing better than walking in the manifest presence of God.
He desires us to know Him as our Father, our Bridgegroom ( the Lover of our Souls). Like the Apostle Paul admitted, so it stands true for each of us-- that we have not arrived yet. There is a greater place that God wants to take each of us. He's calling each of us to a Higher place--a place that you have never been before. It's time to let him carry You--just go ahead and come out from underneath your bed and let Him embrace you-- fall and lose control so that You will soar in His Presence--He's calling you up higher!
The intimate place of Love is waiting for You--a Love that's stronger than death, and sweeter than wine. Let His Love Wrap and Envelope You--Let Him carry You--He will if you will just come out from under the bed. Come!! Come to the Lord!!
