FREEDOM~
To See
To Hear
To Taste
To Touch
To Smell.
The FREEDOM
to use our senses in whatever way we like~
but is that really
FREEDOM?
Eve
SAW
a juicy red apple hanging from a forbidden tree.
Eve
HEARD
the tempter's words giving her permission.
Eve
TOUCHED
and picked it from the tree.
Eve
TASTED
the forbidden fruit.
Eve
LEARNED
a lesson that day about what FREEDOM is not.
David
SAW
a beautiful woman who wasn't his wife.
David
HEARD
her name was Bathsheba and that she was married.
David
TOUCHED
something that was not his.
David
TASTED
the fruit of a choice gone bad.
David
LEARNED
a lesson that day about what FREEDOM is not.
Saul
HEARD
the voice of the One whom he was persecuting~
“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” I am JESUS, whom you are persecuting” (Acts 9).
Saul
SAW
that he couldn't see the moment he was blinded.
Saul was
TOUCHED
by the hands of Ananias so that he could see again.
Saul
TASTED
FREEDOM.
Saul
LEARNED
a lesson that day about what
FREEDOM IS~
the power of
Being
SEEN
Being
HEARD
Being
TOUCHED
by
JESUS
in the midst of when he was acting senseless.
Saul
LEARNED
to
TRUST
and to
FOLLOW
the
ONE
who reached down and
TOUCHED
his heart
setting him FREE~
"If the SON sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36)
transforming him
from
Saul to Paul~
The Paul
who was now
FREE
F.earless
R.edeemed
E.ternally
E.nlightened
The Paul who penned the words
"Whatever you have
learned
or received
or heard
from me,
or seen in me—
put it into practice.
And the GOD of peace will be with you" (Philippians 4:9)
Because
he came to his senses
the moment
JESUS
ignited his senses.
In what area of your life do you need JESUS to ignite your senses?
What do you need to learn, to receive to hear, to see differently today
so that
HIS peace will set you FREE?
So let's be
BLINDED BY THE TRUTH
&
"TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS"
