Jump Out of That Jar
Feb
Jump Out of That Jar! An experiment was done with fleas. Are you itchy now? Just the thought of fleas makes me itch. In the experiment, the fleas were placed in a jar where, of course, they tried to jump out. Next, a lid was put on top of the jar. Each time the fleas jumped they would hit the lid. Eventually, they just stopped jumping. Later, the lid was removed from the jar. Because they had been so conditioned to the limitations of the lid when freedom was offered, they didn’t even try to take it.
Did you know that the lid that was once on top of our lives is gone too? Before we accepted that Jesus paid it all for us. Before we accepted that through Him we always have the victory. Before we even comprehended that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. Before the reality that by His stripes we were (past tense) healed, we too were like the fleas. There was a limit to what we could and could not accomplish in life. The limiting lid of “life without God” was sealed tight and nothing we tried to do on our own could bring us true freedom.
But God…..Oh, how I love those two words! But God, in His infinite foreknowledge, already had a plan. He already had the solution to the problem. He, before the lid was even put on me, was ready to release me from the limitations. Jesus was the plan all along. Even before Adam and Eve, even before Cain and Abel, and even before I was born, God planned my freedom.
There is no lid on our life anymore. We have the right to take victory over challenges, we have the right to boldly come to God with all requests, and we have the right to take back anything the devil has stolen from us.
We can nullify any negative medical report.
We can handle any pressure that tries to push us down.
We can speak positives over any and all negatives.
We can reconcile relationships that were once broken.
We can decide what we will and will not think.
There is no lid on God’s kids’ lives. We CAN do all things through Christ. So, jump. Jump as high as you want for as long as you want because you are free in Him!
