When God called the people out of Egypt, they were being called out of darkness and ignorance. God heard their cry by "reason of their taskmasters". What were their taskmasters? Sickness, poverty, divorce, any negative thoughts that were holding them in bondage. Then they were told they would be brought to a land of milk and honey. To a land of right consciousness, a place of liberty.
Today's message is about our power. We do not have to live in bondage and we are the ones who can free ourselves. No one else can think your thoughts, shift your thoughts or bring you out of Egypt. That is your work to do.
I am thinking about when I left my mom yesterday after visiting her at the hospital. I started to cry (again). As I walked to my car in bondage to the pain of my story about her life and how that affects mine I realized I can shift those thoughts. I could think about the movie I was going to and the anniversary celebration with my husband. It is not easy, for me at least, to make THE SHIFT. But I have the power to do so. That is the point. I have the power, you have the power to move from bondage to liberty.
Pic.. A few years ago I stood on the glass floor of a tower in Calgary. One of those that extends over the building and when you look down there is nothing but the earth a zillion floors below. Standing there it is my choice to be in pain or pleasure... bondage or liberty.
