Do You Put Yourself in Bondage?

Mind Bondage

You don’t really want to let go of those hurt feelings because they can be such a handy tool to control someone. Of course, if that someone doesn’t want to play the game, you can always try anger. It’s bondage all the way, destructive to yourself and to others.

In this final hour we must stand like soldiers to be counted for the Kingdom of God. That means we must be delivered from the bondages of self.

Do you sink into self and then reach out for that same old mind that operated when you were in bondage? The mind of self goes into depression, despair, resentment, envy, insecurity. When you operate in self, you may feel as though people are against you, that they are talking about you, planning to exclude you. Everything bothers you, everything causes stress, pressure. Self does not want the Word of God to free your mind nor to allow Jesus to exchange your burden for His. The love of God is blocked from you because self has taken over your thinking. You want vengeance for every slight, real or imagined. The devil loves it.
