The Splinter in your Mind

Matthew ch27:32-ch28, Mark ch15-ch16, Luke ch23-ch24, Romans 3:21-26 Romans 8:1-10
A battle is raging all around. You can’t always see it, you can’t always hear it, but you can always feel it. There is knowledge in your heart that something bigger than your self is going all around you, but you just can’t figure out what it is. As Morpheus said to Neo in The Matrix

“I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?”

Do you know what I am talking about? Do you know that every day a battle is waged and that every day before you a battle was fought and that every day from now until the end of time there will be casualties in this war? This is not a war over oil or land but a war for our very souls. We are now being held captive and we don’t even realize it. In fact we are so oblivious that the chains have already been stripped away the doors unlocked and the guards unarmed and yet we still sit in our prison. It is as if Neo destroyed the machines that created and maintained the matrix but no one left. They could if they wanted to, but they just sit there instead unwilling to venture out into a new a better world where they are truly free.
God has put the “splinter in your mind” to guide you to him Jesus has won the battle freed our souls and all we have to do is walk out of the cage. Satan will do everything he can to stop that from happening though. We have the power over him now and can command him to leave us but he will do everything in his power to distract and detract us from our power because he is afraid of us Like the Pharaoh and the Israelites Satan will distract us with work and business, with pain and suffering, he does not want us to realize our power because if we do he loses because we have the power through Jesus Christ our Lord to crush him, and to leave nothing, not even rubble of his kingdom behind. Realize your power pray that God show you the power he has given to you and take a chance, use your power, Fight, Win. Be Victorious.
