When you look at the picture associated with this article, what is the first thought that comes to your mind? Your personal background and history, your environment and socioeconomic positioning and religious beliefs may play a role in your first impressions and response to the above question.
The programming of your subconscious mind will also colour your response. Could this be a picture of your inner spirit and being, apart from any political or racial implications? Are there things which are holding you back from being the best version of you possible, and in a sense imprisoning you behind a wall of barbed wire?
Where are you in reference to your dreams and goals? Are they active in your life? Are you making progress towards their achievement? Is your hope growing, or dying?
Have you become apathetic to your situation, simply drifting through life from one day to the next, with no real reason? Have your expectations of what your life could be been driven down so often that you can no longer see the opportunity to realize and fulfill your purpose and destiny?
I want you to know there is hope. You can cut through the barbed wire and escape the confining walls that are holding you back. When you say YES to the relationship with Jesus you have the opportunity for a transformed life. You become a new creation through Him. The old can pass away and the new can come your way (2 Corinthians 5:17). You can begin to elevate your energetic vibrational consciousness which allows you to begin to deploy your full potential. Change is possible when you are willing to learn and willing to adjust your intentions, thoughts, beliefs, words, attitudes and actions. John 8:36 reminds us, “So if the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Don’t Be Self Imprisoned, Be Set Free!
