The chains from habits are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
Inside door locks will protect from the outside, outside locks can be picked or broken.
Hearts and minds can be locked up, or chained down
Chains are for support and for security; if chains are not put on gently items can be scratched and damaged. Some damaged items can be repaired and buffed out, but other damages can be permanent.
In most minds when ones think of chains, they think of being tied or held down without freedom to move.
But chains can be thought of something that can hold ones together for help and safety for protection and strength.
God created a place of security that He could help protect His creations.
God used His Spirit to link or hold together His bond with His creation of Mankind.
By linking Heaven with all His creations, God goal was to have a peaceful dwelling place with man to enjoy all the wonderful beauty of life.
This was the foundation of the life of God.
When God created Adam and Eve, He gave them the ability to enjoy Paradise, and liberty to move around in the Garden as they pleased.
God did not create man to be shackled down but have a free will of choice.
A chain that has a link that might be weak while tension is upon it, before it would completely break you would add an extra piece to strengthen before it would break apart.
By increasing or adding links does not mean the old chain was not developed right. It was added to become stronger.
A habit can be another form of a chain. The chains of a habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
Keeping chains on after forgiveness or been forgiven, sometimes creates a mental bondage without the ability to live in peace.
Putting chains and locks on you or on others and to let go is sometimes harder than being released or delivered.
Finding the keys to unlock knowing what keys to use is another process.
There are different locks that are used by ones. There is a lock that locks from inside and one that is a double sided key lock. There are slide locks and chain locks that are used.
A combination lock does not have need of a key, but it is necessary to cipher the right figure for it to open.
When it comes to your heart what kind of lock is attached to your heart.
It does take the right key or combination to let ones into your heart.
Does your heart only have an inside slide lock, due to being overprotected or paranoid?
What is really tough, is trying to open a lock from within after losing the key on purpose.
Doors that have double sided locks can be the best to use, so you can unlock to get out or ones you have given the ability to open the door when you need help they would be able to assist you in time of need.
God has the only master key and He went into the world to open up doors for ones to come and serve him.
From the tabernacle in the wilderness unto the church’s the apostles built, majority were structures that had no doors, and the ones that did have doors probably did not have locks to secure from entering or leaving.
God’s idea of a connection with Man to be by his side in peace, but do to the disobedience of the direct commandment Adam was given, the complete link to Heaven Adam has was broke.
Man will sometimes bring forth a yoke and servitude upon ones, but by Christ coming he gave man an option to be free to serve Him without being held back from the past.
Christ did not tell the Gentiles come unto me or else,
He said some unto me, meaning my arms are open to help lead you to my Father.
Christ did not demand love!
He gave the option unto each individual for their decisions to be made.
In Haggai He is referring to step back and study the perspective or viewpoint of the church and people, and where they are spiritually.
Hag. 1:5 think of the way you are going and where you are at?
By bringing in little you are not getting ahead, “consider you ways”
The lack of success, go and reach out to help construct this building.
By ones responding to perform this task, God will bless the effort.
The glory of His house will be magnified through the brightness of Christ’s spirit within us, through love and charity in our lives.
Concern for others and not in attitude of selfishness, is displaying God’s spirit in our lives.
Chains are sometimes upon us due to an emotion of fear, guilt, and displeasure of our own mind set.
An act of guilt or anger can bring upon a feeling of pressure or mental stress, and discomfort.
Forgiveness is the mental, emotional, and spiritual process of letting go of resentment, indignation, or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference, or mistake. It can also mean ceasing to demand punishment or restitution for transgressions, real or imagined. Although forgiveness may be granted without any expectation of compensation, and without any response on the part of the offender, it is sometimes necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, apology, or restitution; this can often open the way for the person who perceives to be wronged to feel empowered to forgive.
Opening your heart is like opening a lock, one type of key is the only way for it to work.
A combination lock can only be opened by the one with the original code.
If the figures or original key form due not correspond match up precisely it will not open.
Feelings of the heart and mind are expressed through actions.
By giving or holding back is how are feelings are understood or brought forth.
God created feelings of expression, but originally He showed feeling of love and concern for mankind.
How many times did God express forgiveness upon Israel and has expressed upon my life?
The act of forgiveness can only be brought forth through love and charity, and compassion towards others.
