THE TWILIGHT ZONE

“When God opens a door, it is often an exit from our comfort zone. ”
Matt 4:19 Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." 20 They immediately left [their] nets and followed Him.
The Twilight Zone first aired the year I was born. Now don’t try to make something out of that! I remember watching it as a young boy with much intrigue. At thirteen I entered a twilight zone of my own making. I began to use drugs and alcohol and soon it became an everyday thing. A distorted reality, a fantasy world, a fictional world where, in my mind, I could be whatever I wanted to be, do whatever I wanted to do, whenever I wanted to do it. I lived in my comfort zone, aka the twilight zone and I was double parked!
There is a twilight zone that Christians can get stuck in. When the GO is removed from the GOSPEL, what you have left will leave you under a SPEL! For the believer, the comfort zone becomes a twilight zone of an alternate dimension of living for self! If we would truly be followers of Jesus Christ, we too must leave our nets so to speak. If not, our nets will ensnare us and hold us captive in our comfort zone; the twilight zone!
Every blessing!
