Last night I shared a story about the elephant with the impact group
that we lead. Most people have visited the zoo and have seen the massive
elephants who are chained to a short thin chain and literally have
maybe a 6 foot clearance to move around.
As baby elephants they are brought in to the zoo and they are
immediately attached to a shackle and chain on their foot. As a baby the
elephant will fight the chain by pulling and tugging but will be
unsuccessful in doing so. The baby elephant will go several weeks trying
to break free from this chain and eventually will give up and surrender
the fight because its spirit is completely broken.
Many years
will go by and this elephant grow to be a massive 24,000 pound animal
with such strength that it could totally bust the chain off it's foot
with one powerful-thrust.
You see the elephant does not know how
much authority it has and how strong it truly is. All it knows is how
when it was a baby that it could never break free so it never thought to
try again because it felt defeated.
You see many of us are a lot
like that elephant we are raised with the mindsets of limitations and
many time by words of man that were spoken over us. Some words may be "I
can never afford that" or maybe "It is what it is" or My mom had this
sickness so I'm probably gonna have it too. All of these words are LIES
from the enemy because your not meant to live in poverty, sickness,
anger or bitterness. Just like the elephant you stopped pulling on that
bondage and just left it be and because of that it has taken root in
your spirit.
The TRUTH is you are now that fully grown son and
daughter of the KING of KINGS and you are called for such a time as this
and you have complete and full authority to break off any chains that
may be holding you down. No more shackles, no more chains you are set
free! So this morning give a powerful-thrust and break that chain that
is holding you back and be free because who the Son sets free is free
indeed.
