The Glass Prison Introduction
Hello all and welcome to my blog! I thought it may be a good idea to shoot some thoughts out there from time to time. Your thoughts are more then welcome as I would like to know when I’m crazy. For now, my plan is to post on mid day Sunday..... actually who knows! My tendency is to keep things concise unless I go off into a rant. Still, I’m undecided how personal I will get, but I will try to keep on topic.
The first time I heard of the term “Glass Prison” was from a song by Dream Theater, a very talented band. Though the song and lyrics have nothing to do with this blog, I often felt that one could get another meaning from the title. Glass Prison. I think of it as something around us all, that we do not see. Perhaps it is a mechanism of secret control? Or freedoms we think we have that are not there? Or our lack of accepting awful events or not forgiving someone- which in essence imprisons us? Or perhaps a battle in the spiritual realm, surrounding us?
Here are some scriptures on what I base the term “Glass Prizon” off of:
Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].
Fear not though my friends, the Glass Prison will not separate you from Gods love!
Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Lets cover many different topics; Politics, real life events, perception vs. reality, religion, and who knows what else.
