My Passover Journey

As a minister I find it essential to walk my talk so to speak. So I am goin to post here my 8-day Passover Journey through the various TASKS I put out for you.

TASK1

Watch the extract from ‘The Prince of Egypt’  below. Then, I would like to invite you to give the story a new meaning by adapting it to your life and circumstances.
  • What is it that has enslaved you so far and you want to become free from?
  • How are you going to part the ‘red sea’ of you fears (or what enslaves you)?
  • How are you going to call upon the Divine to support you to become free?
  • What are you going to do during the next 8 days to support yourself to get free?

My answers

I see the parting sea as God’s Grace..

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

I ask to be released and I am given. But I must be persistent and humble in my asking. I am also protected from my own fears and demons who appear like the pharaoh’s army always chasing me and ragging me back down. But as long as I focus, I meditate and I pray I am led out of my own misery. 

  • What is it that has enslaved you so far and you want to become free from?

A sense of unexplainable guilt and obligation. I often feel that there is a sense of obligation behind my altruistic actions. I would like to serve freely or not serve at all.

  • How are you going to part the ‘red sea’ of you fears (or what enslaves you)?

My fear is that I would be punished if I do not meet my obligations. I often assume more obligations that is truly mine and I still fear punishment. I will consciously keep on stepping back and wait to be called upon instead of stepping in assuming obligation.

  • How are you going to call upon the Divine to support you to become free?

I have spent some time in meditation today consciously releasing my sense of guilt and obligations back to the nothingness asking God to lift me higher so I can become free of them.

  • What are you going to do during the next 8 days to support yourself to get free?

I will keep on meditating and praying for forgiveness and release, and will keep on stepping back releasing the assumption that it is all my duty.
