The Chainbreaker

Chains are ok if you are walking a dog. 

However, as people, we cringe at chains.  

Let’s be honest, I don’t even like the idea of handcuffs.  

I understand the need for handcuffs, 

but I am not convinced that anyone, honestly, enjoys being restrained.  

Chains are strong, and few of us would willingly submit to physical chains.  

Yet, what we would never allow in the physical realm we do permit in the unseen realm.  

We all know people who are in chains to the addiction of 

alcohol,

 drugs, 

cigarettes, 

sex, 

power, 

or anger….  

The sad thing is that they often never see the bonds until it’s too late.  

Most of the things that hold us in chains seem harmless at first.   

It’s not until the drugs have us in their control, that we see the shackles.  

When alcohol ruins a relationship, then we see the handcuffs.   

When we try to quit smoking, then we find that we are restrained, 

helpless to break the links that hold us captive.   

Suddenly, we become aware that we need help 

because the chains are too strong for us to break on our own.  

Every one of us has chains, not physical chains, but invisible chains.  

Strongholds that only God can break.  

He is the chainbreaker!  

Are you afraid that your chains cannot be broken?  

Do you feel hopeless falling every time to the same sin?  

Enslaved by durable pieces of metal.  

Relax!  

There are no chains in existence that God cannot break.  

The only thing we must do is humble our self and come to Him chains and all.  

The fantastic part is that he wants to break my chains, and yours.
