Iron Bars Do Not a Prison Make
Iron Bars Do
Not a Prison Make
When I was younger heard this and really liked the words it
had made an impression upon me in many ways. It helped to realize that being shy is a prison of my own
make. Another is hearing words
that tell us, “You cannot” and this became another prison of our own
accord. Some more words that had
an effect on our mind that caused that imprisonment.
But do all of these words really get to the root of
things? No, it does not reach the
root of all things and we can keep listing more and perhaps a lot more of these
words. The longer you have been
around more than likely that, that list is very long or extremely
extensive.
The title of this is “Iron Bars Do Not a Prison Make”, have
you started to figure out what that means? Most of you have already figured it out, but what about the
root cause to those imprisoning words?
Some what say it is the mind, some would say it is you; some
would say it is others, and some others would actually know the answer. When you say it is the mind, it is
battlefield that is taking place a war of right believing or wrong
believing. Those that say “you”
well that’s just putting the focus on you and being self-effort. Does not actually get to the root
cause. Those saying, it is
“others” that is simply blaming others.
What is the root of these words? What is the root cause for those words being spoken to you
or by you? Did you ever catch
yourself saying those words to anyone?
The root cause is just one word, “condemnation” once you realized
that the Son of almighty GOD was sent to save us, from ourselves. Set us under grace and has freed us
from the law; that very law that was set to bring man to the end of
himself. To realize and to rely on
our heavenly Father, our Abba GOD and to see that He is Abba who loves us
beyond our understanding. Since
the law is fulfilled and He no longer condemns us, then why are you condemning yourself?

yea, I heard this phrase as a child as well....and yea, as Christians, we have the mind of Christ which sets us free from all the 'worldly' distractions and from a non religious perspective, we need to free our minds from all these worldly distractions to focus on what we want to achieve in life...there is so much to distract us and imprison us so we do not move forward in our lives and our relationships.
