Title
No lockdowns in Mind
Description
I’m inspired by the story in the Bible of Paul and Silas when they where captured by a mob and ordered to be locked up in prison by local officials who wanted them off the streets. For extra caution, the prisoners were cast into the inner dungeon, and their feet were locked solid in stocks. If there ever was a “lockdown,” this was it. Their human plight looked hopeless. But Paul and Silas did not allow their thinking to go into lockdown mode. The Bible states, “Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!” (Acts 16:25-26, NLT). Paul and Silas were singing hymns and praises to God! Their thinking did not reflect the plight of their bodies. Their thinking transcended the physical condition they faced and went into the realm of Mind where there are no limits. They were so clear on their spiritual freedom with God, that they had no fear of the physical constraints, and the physical constraints fell away.
