Juan 8:36

The price of bondage

One of the favorite acts in a circus is to see elephants  going around in 
circles dancing to a special music and doing all kind of neat  tricks. The 
trainer makes it look easy but the fact is that it takes a lot of time and
patience for the elephant to learn to do such tricks. The training  
begins on an early age of the elephant by placing a heavy chain in one 
of its  legs, that chain is  attached to a steel bar in the middle of a circle, 
 the elephant learns just to go around that circle day in and day out. 
After it  becomes accustom to the chain, the trainer removes it for 
the purpose of the  circus act,  and if the elephant goes around the 
circle without the chain, then  it is ready for its act. The same thing 
 happens to people that are bounded by  sin they get use to an 
attitude of comfort with their sinful nature.  All they  do is go around 
in circles with their lives.  Satan is the ring master he knows  how to treat 
his  subjects who are bounded by sin. While the trainer  will offer  
peanuts to the elephant, Satan offers a small pleasure at a big price. 
The goal  is to keep people in bondage attached to a hopeless future. 
It may be some type  of substance abuse, sexual addiction, depression, 
oppression, or plain emotional chaos. Fortunately our loving God has 
a perfect plan to free us from bondage. The first step that anyone 
needs to take to be free is to accept Jesus Christ as a Lord and 
Savior. Once you give your life to Him, your road to recovery is at 
hand as a process of restoration. For some, it can happen  instantly 
according to their faith, for others it may take a little time. What  
matters is the first step to break away from the bondage of Satan. 
Jesus came  to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight 
to the blind, and to set at liberty those who are oppressed. If you are 
dealing with any habit that needs to be broken or any feelings of 
oppression, you need to call upon Jesus to set you free. All  you 
have to do is ask Him  to come to  your heart and be the Lord of 
your life just like  you are. You do not have to  be perfect to come to 
Him. He will take you step by step to a victorious walk,  He will make 
you whole.
