RULES TO FREEDOM

A couple had a small child who started riding a bike. They wanted the best for him; for him not to be hurt, and be able to prosper as he got older being: healthy, wise, all limbs intact, and no struggles with things he done. They installed a fence around their yard, to keep him in, and gave him many rules.

One day, the child was sitting on his bike; looking at the fence and thinking of the rules, and he said, “My parents are mean! They create a bunch of restrictions; their controlling. They should be more loving, and let me make my own decisions.” So he opened the gate and took off on his bicycle.

He didn’t get too far down the road when a car came around the corner and hit him pretty hard: his bike was completely destroyed and he had some cuts and bruises.

He walked his bike home and his parents were completely upset. They gave the rules, and the fence, to protect their child from this. The mother kissed his “booboo’s” and bandaged him up; but the pain was still there: the wounds were not gone.

YHWH gave us Scripture, with His Laws, and His Statutes, as a type of fence and rules. The world, even professing christians, see these as oppressive and restrictive. They say, “God is not like this any more.”; and they open the gate and run out into the street. When trouble hits them, they blame the devil and fail to see it was them that ignored the fence and rules, and was running in the street.

They cry to God for help, but they did not follow the rules; therefore curses come. He is loving: He’ll kiss the wounds, and bandage the cuts, but they are still there: the pain has not went away.

Like Adam and Eve, and all the children that had been raised over the centuries, man never wants to take the blame: they blame God or they blame Satan. They never want to accept the fact that THEY opened the gate: THEY ignored the rules laid out by Adonai, to keep us safe; not to control or restrict us.

You can not eat what you want without consequences. You can’t be slothful or covet without feeling the hardship. You can’t be mean to others, backbite, scoff at, and gossip about; without it coming back to cause heartache and hurt. When you don’t follow the rules, sooner or later, your going to get hit: you can’t expect YHWH to keep you “healthy, wealthy, and wise”. He may comfort, but you opened the gate, you played in the street, you disobeyed rules that would have freed you from many heartaches. The wounds are there; and some created scars we will have to live with for the rest of our lives.

The best and quickest way to freedom, is following the rules in the book.
