Bondage, Spiritual: Free As A Bird?

Recently we put up a hummingbird feeder with four feeding stations. Almost immediately it became popular with the hummingbirds that live in our area. Two, three, or even four birds would feed at one time. We refilled the feeder at least once a day. Suddenly the usage decreased to almost nothing. The feeder needed filling only about once a week.
The reason for the decreased usage soon became apparent. A male bird had taken over the feeder as his property. He is now the only hummingbird who uses our feeder. He feeds and then sits in a nearby tree, rising to attack any bird that approaches his feeder. Guard duty occupies his every waking hour. He is an effective guard. The only time another bird gets to use the feeder is when the self-appointed owner is momentarily gone to chase away an intruder.

We soon realized that the hummingbird was teaching us a valuable lesson. By choosing to assume ownership of the feeder, he is forfeiting his freedom. He is no longer free to come and go as he wished. He is tied to the work of guarding his feeder. He is possessed by his possession. His freedom of action is as circumscribed as if he were in a cage. He is caged by a situation he has created. -- W.

What a wonderful thing to have a chance to speak with Jesus, not only speak but be taught! (Can you hear God talking to you? are you teachable?)
Jesus, when he was here doing his Fathers business was forever teaching, that is why He is called the Great Teacher.
Here we are taught that forgivness comes to those that hear His voice, we are taught that. nothing we do is hidden from God, But that he is able to forgive us of any sin! ( Are you able to forgive thiose that have commited a sin aginist you? are you willing?) We just have to be bold enough to confess them and walk away from them. (Just confess and learn to leave them with the Pord, for we can't do nothing but believe that God has got our backs). in this passage Jesus tells the woman her life story yet he gives her a chance to admit her sin, what has to be seen is he forgave her right then!
then she tells him of her beliefs and He tells her the TRUTH. He told her of a time that is comming when her and her people will worship the Father in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
Then she is told the truth that she was a truly blessed person for the one that the people had spoken of was indeed himself.
I would suggest you read on and see how this womans life story of being what she was was used to win souls for the kingdom.
what is your story? Will you allow God to use it to win souls?, I need to tell you frist you have to admit them, release them then use them.

God bless you and have a wonderful remainder of the week.
John 4
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
1 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."

11 "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"

13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."

16 He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."

17 "I have no husband," she replied.

Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."

19 "Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."

21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

25 The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us." 26 Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."

The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

33 Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"

34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."

(Proverbs 28:22-28) A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, and does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
23) He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward than he who flatters with the tongue.
24) Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It is no transgression," the same is companion to a destroyer.
25) He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,but he who trusts in the LORD will be prospered.
26) He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
27) He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
28) When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.








(Psalms 34:8) Oh, taste and see that the Lord is Good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

For everything there is a season,and A time for every purpose under heaven :A time to be born, A time to die: A time to planet. And time to pluck what is planted:

ECCLESIATES 3:1-2

Eagles Eyes Viewing the Parade

Eagles have special eyes. The eaglets eyes develop with maturity. The eagles eyes are eight times stronger then our eyes. They can see a rabbit from 2 miles away. The eagle has two sets of eyelids: one with a lens for looking right into the sun and the other to hunt with. The higher he flies, the larger will be his perspective. Job 39:29 From there he seeks out his food; his eyes detect it from afar.

Whisper...the higher he flies, the larger his perspective....

There have been times years back, while visiting with Christ, I'd ask Him, "Why?" Why to mainly my childhood events and circumstances. The Lord finally answered one day a couple of years ago at a funeral I had attended of a dear loved one Mrs. Berres. After the funeral I was approached by two priests, good friends of hers. I was introduced to them. I shared with them just how much she had meant to me. Then they shared with me the impact of my past, had on her. Due to what I'd been through, she dedicated her life to fight for the rights of emotional, physical, and sexually abused children both within and outside of the church...including a couple of priests who now are serving time. On the ride home that day...I was just left amazed....Lord I understood.

The Parade...
Life many times is like watching a parade that is going by through a peep-hole in the fence. You cannot see what has already passed by nor what is ahead. At times for us, it is so hard to understand the why's...why to pain, struggles, loneliness, loss, hardships, circumstances... But now and then...I truly believe we are blessed with an answer or reasons, all for His glory and purpose. Christ will lift us up and set us on His shoulders for a bit, to see a larger perspective of the parade. That happened for me that day at the funeral. Can you imagine that...a funeral of a dear loved one became part of my parade. Just awesome!
Even Moses...got a glimpse from Mount Nebo in Deut. 34:4b..."I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it."

Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the word of this law. In Christs Glory and in memory of Mrs. Berres friendship, Brown Eagle
