Today I saw bird in a cage, head all thrown back and singing. I was blessed by the melodious sound of the birds song, and very enamored by his beauty. Yet, I had a sinking feeling grasp me from within, as I knew the bird was held captive. And the sinking sensation made me think of those who are controlled and manipulated into all kinds of bondage.
Amazing how people justify their desire to control others. Just as some would say, "Oh, the bird is better off there, after all it is for it's protection that we have him caged,"
... this same deceptive language is also used as an attempt to manipulate or control people, caging them in too.
There may be a truth that the bird is in a cage and a cat rest at the base of the cage, but a higher truth is, the bird outside the cage can fly, and the cat cannot. Deceptive truth is used to keep the cat in the cage. Higher truth liberates.
People speak very loosely of truth. But Truth that comes from the higher source frees, while lesser truth imprisons.
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Truth that comes from God sets people free. This Higher truth is a liberating lifestyle. It does not cage, bind, manipulate or control.
Higher truth offers opportunity to choose. For years people have used this statement, "If you love someone let them go, and if they love you they will return, if not they never did." Suggesting that love does not hold one against their will.
Higher truth offers people choice. Lesser truth controls and dictates.
Joh 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus the Christ, is the very manifestation of the truth. The only way to the Father (the highest source of truth). Any other truth is a lesser truth. Any other light is a lesser light. Any other god is exactly that ... a lesser god. For there is only one true God ... who is the source of all others. King of kings and Lord of lords.
Just as there were so called wise men, magicians and sorcerers, in the days of Moses. Those who claimed to be wise, with all their enchantments. So it is today.
There are many claiming to be wise. They claim to have light and know truth. But be mindful of the higher light that is available to you in Christ.
There is a light that rules the day and one that rules the night. The night ruler is the lesser of the two. I speak to you from higher truth.
Those enchantments hold no light in comparison to the truth that is found through Christ Jesus. The power that comes from God, the light of the day, swallows that of the night. And although in it's wonder if is captivating, yet, it liberates!
Oh the song that the caged bird sings. Singing in spite of it's circumstance. That is the liberating picture of the higher truth. Truth that comes from within ...
Joh 14:17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Truth that comes form within, never looses it's song. But those who have this kind of truth living within them are meant to fly! They are not meant to be confined to caged walls. They are meant to be free without, as well as within.
Jesus did not call disciples to box in or restricted them. He called them, to build them up on the highest faith and then send them out. Sending them into ALL THE WORLD!
He gave them wings (so to speak) and thrust them (empowered them) with spirit winds! Just as He said he would in John Chapters 14-16 and spoke of again in Luke Chapter 24.
Acts 2:1-4
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
So why sit in the lesser light and live by lesser truth?
Why not move into the True Light, Walk in the Higher Truth and be Free?
Why not live your life to the full and yes in the overflow?
Why not be free?
Why not break out of the bondage of deception and live Large and Fly High?
Think about it. Ask yourself why?
Why not move into the higher Light? Why not Live by the highest Truth?
We are all free to choose whether we live our life as the caged bird or the free one.
I fly with Jesus ... but it is my choice!
