Read - Exodus 5-7 By J. L. Caldwell, Pastor New Jerusalem Baptist Cathedral An uninformed people will always lend to lepd themselves to slavery of some kind. Be it intellectual, social, or behavioral. John, the Revelator. was isolated and imprisoned for 18 months on the Isle of Patmos, but be refused to allow his mind to be enslaved, his mind remained free, thus he was able to pin God's vision in the Book of Revelation for all to gain a perspective on the coming future. The descendants of Abraham (Hebrews) were in the slave pits of Egypt for more than 400 years: their bodies were worn and tied from making hand made bricks, their travel was limited, their daily routine was stressful, and their worship opportunities were nonexistent. Simply pul. the Hebrew people were enslaved in just about all aspects of their lives. Their bodies were physically owned by the Pharaoh, but their minds remained free enough to reason and cry out to the I ord for relief from slavery (Exodus 3:7-8). Imprisonment truly lakes its toll, in full measure, when the body and mind becomes enslaved lo its master. The master may be a tyrant, but not limited lo hale, anger, envy, ignorance, lies, drugs alcohol, and uncontrolled passion., As long as the mind is not enslaved along with the body and one slill has freedom lo think on his her ow n. then that person is not truly imprisoned or enslaved, t he man who has been in prison for many years and attempts to escape after ten or so years behind steel bars is not totally enslaved (i.e. nun ie-" Twelve Years A Slave") loday's prison, just like the devil, is designed to totally enslave a person. We need lo put on the whole armor of (iod as we care not lo be enslaved (Ephesus 6:11-13). fhe Black man is no longer living on the plantation because ofthe long fought battles and victories for civil rights by those who have gone on before and refuse lo allow anybody or anything lo enslave their minds. Regardless ol the circumstances, the mind always strives to be free - free from oppression, loday there is a strong mind set tending to put the Black man back on the plantation, so lo speak. If not back on the plantation then, behind the "new-day plantation” -which is the prison, dropping out of school, or leaving the church. However, a strange thing is happening today among our Black people, especially among our young black men women. Ihey arc enslaving and imprisoning themselves by returning, lo the "old camp ground" - the master's plantation, that is whatever they have allow cd lo enslav e them, be it crime, but not limited lo no- educalional. unacceptable social behavior, ignorance of Gods love for them. It is for the above reasons that Jesus came down from heaven lo set to captives free and to set free who have been bruised enslavement (Luke 14:18- Today’s Egypt i$ place of enslavement. Wli; and wherever it is the the need for somebody i down ‘and deliver the me of freedom and hope to who have allowed them! to be imprisoned for wh; reason(s). This messaged first must go into our home then spread abroad. Who go? Who will go down to brother's house, your si house, y our friend's housed will go down and far away your home and talk to as people about the forgh God offers, hope in the power in the Blood. Grat Mercy being abundantly p out on life's hurts and ensl behavior.
