PULL UP THE
STAKES
In India, where baby elephants are trained, CONTROL is established while the elephant is very small. A chain is placed around the baby elephant’s leg and attached to a three foot iron stake which is driven into the ground. Therefore for several days the baby elephant pulls and tugs and strains against the stake and the chain... but he is too small to dislodge it. Soon he is convinced, by this experience, that the three foot stake and chain have the POWER to bind him. He no longer attempts to pull free. TEN YEARS LATER, when the elephant is fully grown — weighing thousands of pounds— capable of uprooting trees — pushing or pulling a loaded railway car— he can still be held by a three foot stake! Yet, if that stake were as big around and planted as deep as a telephone pole, he could easily uproot it! How does the stake and chain hold the elephant? CONTROL & CONDITIONING. Past experiences, imprints, and impressions that have gone into the subconscious mind will be accepted by the subconscious mind as truths. Those imprints, impressions, and past experiences at times control us. Quite often, we will respond to past experiences in the same way as the elephant. Whether we are consciously aware of it or not, what we tell ourselves will go into the subconscious mind and become part of our belief system. We respond to those beliefs whether they are right or wrong. Example: "I can’t quit smoking." "I can’t lose weight." "I can’t be happy because of what’s going on in my life." "I can’t do anything right."
What is the stake in your life?
Is it unresolved anger? Is it anxiety you are experiencing? Is it financial difficulty? Is it low self-confidence? Is it depression? Is it fear? Think about it for a moment, what is your stake? What is it that is holding you down and stopping you from becoming the person that you want to be? When we pull up the stake that binds us, we begin to allow God to heal us. Then, we will realize our full POWER and POTENTIAL and enjoy the FREEDOM of not being tied down by past experiences, imprints, impressions, feelings or false beliefs that someone put into your mind. You are created by the same Creator as everyone else. You have many talents, many gifts, many blessings that God gave you. Be aware of them. God made you in a special way. The difference between elephants and humans is that God gave us a FREE WILL which enables us to overcome the control.
I INVITE YOU TO PULL UP THE STAKE THAT'S BINDING YOU. Become the person you want to be. The person God created you to be. "YOU CAN BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWAL OF YOUR MIND" Compliments of: Louis P.
