Emancipate Yourselves From Mental Slavery
Jesus said He came to set the captives free but what if the jailer is me.
In solitary of my own devising,
Deadbolt locked not fully realizing this 4 x 4 x 4 was built by my own mind.
With the way of escape not easy to find.
For each thought draws me deeper still.
Sitting.
Wondering.
Trying to figure out how I ended up in this place. Thoughts so base.
Fell for the trick. Believed the lie.
You’re too fat.
You’re too thin.
Your teeth are jacked up.
Your lips are too big.
You don’t know enough.
You don’t have enough.
You’ll never be enough.
Says the voice of the enemy.
But inside I hear the whisper.
Emancipate Yourselves From Mental Slavery
Deeper still in the recesses of my mind, deeper still I peer into the dark and find…
LIGHT!
“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,” Marley sings.
Be transformed by the renewing of the mind and walk in the freedom Christ brings.
Old things have passed away all things have become new.
In the image of my Maker FREE to be:
Beautiful and flawed
Right and wrong
Stellar today and so/so tomorrow.
Jesus came to set the captives free. He came to liberate you and me.
Allow the light of truth to flood your heart. You are created by the GREAT I AM and as such you ARE AMAZING!
Just the way you are.
No ties that bind the mind.
Come on out.
BE
FREE
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound”Isaiah 61:1

Naomi, it’s a daily battle so I have to be vigilant in capturing my thoughts, casting them down and replacing them with the Truth. Blessings to you as you walk in freedom.
Oh the gift that is Freedom! Beautiful. ((hug))
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed! I know this to be true in my own life. I pray others will grab hold of this truth.
