As a child I could never really enjoyed going to the circus, due to the fact that I just believed that wild animals should be in the wild!
It just did not make any sense to me that such a huge animal could be led around like a puppet by tiny human being. What was keeping them in line not to act up, and just break free?
(The African elephant is pregnant for approximately 22 months – two years. So in my mind there must be something GREAT about the elephant, so how could it be led around so easily?)
It did not make any sense to me until I heard someone preach about Breaking Mindsets.
The word is self explanatory – It is when the MIND IS SET on something. When you have made up your mind / attitude regarding something. When you believed that something or a situation is fixed and there is no way of changing it.
That is how they break the will of the elephant at an early age of about 2 days after the birth, (bond their mindsets) they would tie a very large and strong chain around his leg, and tie it to a very strong poll. (Strong Hold)
He does not weigh that much yet, for he is still young, yet he is very curious, and Very Strong Mentally. The elephant then attempts to get free from this chain, and when at first he does not succeed, he tries and tries again and the more he tries, to break free the more painful it becomes, and with each failed attempt it gets even more painful, until the elephant start to realize:
‘It is less painful to be bound, than to be free.’
Even though the elephant get stronger and more powerful with time, his MIND HAS BEEN SET… He now has More Power Physically, yet Less Power Mentally. He is like a BIG GIANT ON THE OUTSIDE, YET LIKE A LITTLE BABY ON THE OUTSIDE, that keep reminding himself what happened every time he wanted to break free.
“I GOT HURT EVERY TIME I WANTED TO GET FREE, IT’S LESS PAINFUL TO STAY BOUND.”
And just like that you can be bond from a very young age, with bad habits that keeps you going in cycles and the slave keeper does not even have to worry that you would escape, for every time you tried to be set free you just got hurt more and more. Until you realize that there is only One that can set the captives free from bondage, (sin), from wrong, mindsets, thinking, and mentally, and that is THE ONE THAT LOVED YOU ENOUGH TO BE BOUND TO A CROSS SO YOU CAN BE SET FREE FROM BONDAGE, and walk in your
TRUE IDENTITY.
