THE FREEDOM TRAIN

Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to ride a train.  After watching them on television, I thought it would be a fun thing to do but the city that I live in does not offer train services.  I got to ride a train for the first time in 2007.  It was fun just as I had anticipated.  The people were very friendly.  I sat with a male and female before reaching my destiny and they were both interesting people.  Just meeting them alone, made the trip worthwhile.

I had a dream over thirty years ago that I was riding a train.  In the dream, I was a young girl walking down the street trying to get to my home.  I could not get home because there was a path that I had to cross and a big hole was there.  I could not cross the path because if I tried, I thought that I would fall into this deep hole and perhaps die.  I kept wondering if I would ever make it home.  Just when I thought there was no hope, a train came by.  The conductor who was an elderly man (about 80 years old) stopped the train and said to me, "Can I help you?"  I began to cry.  I said, "I am trying to get home but there is a big hole here and if I try to cross it, I will fall into it."  He said to me, "Come on, I will help you."  He stopped the train and took me by the hand and I was able to get on safely with the help of the conductor.  In the dream, he drove me home (via the train).  He saw to it that I reach my destiny.  As I got off the train I said to him, "Thank you for helping me."  "If you had not helped me, I would have fallen into the deep hole."  He smiled at me as I walked into my white colored home with a white picket fence.  I felt a sense of relief and peace.

What are you feeling pressured about?  Are you feeling a sense of endangerment?  Do you feel as if you world is caving in?  If so, come on and ride the "spiritual freedom train."  The Conductor of this train is Elohim (God).  He is holding out His hand ready and willing to help you. 

We need to be free from worry, anxiety and stress.  Have you recently lost a love one through divorce or death? Are you dealing with a rebellious child or perhaps you are dealing with health issues.  No matter the situation, the Father is there to aid you.  He will carry you through.

I Peter 5:7 "Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you."  (Messianic Edition of the Living Bible)

I realize that there may be some who do not want to board the Freedom Train.  Some people become "addicted to misery."  These people feel that if they do not have something bad to talk about that something is wrong.  They thrive off of chaos.

I Corinthians 14:33 "God is not one who likes things to be disorderly and upset."  He likes harmony and He finds it in all the other congregations."  (Messianic Edition of the Living Bible)

It is HaSatan (satan, the devil) who wants to keep you captured.  He enjoys seeing you struggle through life.  The sad thing about this is some people will begin to agree with him when He suggests to you that there is no way out.  He may say things to you such as, "Why don't you commit suicide?"  Do not agree with him.

At one time I was the founder and director of a Christian based shelter for abused women.  Part of the teaching that was given to them while sheltered was the "stockholm syndrome."  The stockholm syndrome is when the victim agrees with everything the abuser says about her.  She begins to feel sorry for the one who has captured her.  She believes everything that he says.  Believers sometimes gets "spiritual stockholm syndrome."  They begin to agree with the devil and believes his lies.

II Corinthians 3:17 says, "The Lord is the Spirit who gives them life, and where He is there is freedom (from trying to be saved by keeping the laws of God).  (Messianic Edition of the Living Bible)

Romans 6:18, 22 says that we are freed from bondage.

John 8:44 says that there is no truth in the enemy and that whenever he speaks, he speaks a lie.

Come on and let's take a freedom ride.  Your fare has been paid many years ago by Yeshua (Jesus).  I am sure that you do not want to carry anymore anxieties and failures.  The Freedom Train pulls up to the doors daily of those who need it.  Just tell Adonai (the Lord) that you need to ride this train spiritually.  As you board the train, the Conductor (God) will take you by your  hand and help you just as He did me.  He will help you reach your destiny.
