INVISIBLE FENCES SUBSCRIBE
PARABLE:
Seems
like 1/4 the country keeps getting slammed by powerful thunderstorms.
Even the DC areas where power outages are more rare had
"1000s of customers without power" in last couple of days.
Throughout neighborhoods, those "invisible fences" with some technology that keep dogs from leaving their yards have been -- Powerless to trap dogs, pun intended:}
When electricity is off, dogs are free to escape & roam free. But they don't. Why? Because they're accustomed to failing if they try to escape....
John 8:31, "Then Jesus said to those Jews who BELIEVED Him..."
Jesus encouraged them & us to REALLY believe:
He offers to set us free from sin.
But we have to *choose* to stop believing Satan's lies (John 8:44) --
to walk away from Satan's invisible fence
that tries to keep us trapped...
"if the Son makes you free, you shall be free INDEED." John 8:36.
We must not feel accustomed to failing
when we try to escape sin's temptations.
1st Corinthians 10:13 -- God WILL provide way of escape.
But Satan drops in those little hints of too much pride to
ask God's help,
to put on weapons God promises (Eph 6:10-18).
Jesus encourages us:
Believe Him. And run free - James 4:7-8 - from Satan's traps toward God -- Who'll come to you & me.
What does LORD God say ??
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." - 1st Corinthians 10:13
BUT we need to read God's Word that comes BEFORE His promise
offering freedom from sin--
OUR responsibilities to choose.

SO WHAT ??

reading that famous verse on Freedom, we seldom read one before-- John 8:31, "Then Jesus said to those Jews who BELIEVED Him..."
