In Thailand - Selah

IGNORANCE......watching the news in the hotel room, was showing the refugees and people in the country where there's ongoing war...where necessities are scarce. Saw their sufferings and frustrations...helpless in that situation, no freedom, no options....stuck in that moment of time.

They know no way of freedom...the only thing they are aware of is their sufferings and pain.

Felt the HS pointing to me that those who do not know the Saviour, who have not heard and know not the Way to freedom...but fully aware of their pain and sufferings. And ironically, people who do know the Way to freedom, heard about it,perhaps chose it....but sometimes not aware at all that they are in captivity, trapped, stucked, in their own view of themselves, not truly walking in freedom.....IGNORANCE.....

FAMILIARITY....went to one of the temple in Bangkok, an old lady has lots of birds in small cages, and if you pay 90 Baht, you can release the birds as a sign of luck and good fortune.

HS pointed to me...some of us were like the birds in the cage, trapped, eager to be set free...and when Jesus came, He pay the price for our freedom, that we can be released from the cages in our lives, it did come with a price...and He sets us free....

In the case of the old lady, the birds that were released came flying back!guess that's how she earn a living...

But...how many people, who have been bought with a price, to be set free from the cages, went out from it, but only to come back to it...because they are so used to their old lives, some choose to live in the past, some prefer to dwell in sins, in their own ways....

In that freedom, the world seems to be filled with uncertainty, there needs to be a change, it's no longer the same, something unknown, something greater...But fear holds them back!Pride of life hardens their heart and mind..so they stay the same. Occassionaly out of the cage, but went right in again. Same old same old..FAMILIARITY....

One thing needed...the Light of the world to shine into their heart and mind.

And He needs you!! to bring His light into the world. Light that sets the captives free and release the prisoners from their chains. Light that chases every darkness away. That Light is the Truth, exposing every lies and deceptions..and that Truth is a person....and His name is Jesus.
