When I was a teenager, my younger brother, Rob, found this little sparrow in the grass one spring morning, while cleaning up the backyard.
We had a thunderstorm the night before and this young fledgling sparrow must have been knocked out of the nest, and if not for my brother, she probably would not have survived.
We searched the trees for a nest, but found none. So, of course, Rob brought her in and we did our best to raise her.
When she was fully mended and able to fly my Mom set her cage out on the table in our back-yard and opened the cage door. We tearfully said good-bye to our dear little friend. That evening just before sun-down I went out to collect the cage and found our little friend in the cage. So, I brought her back in.
The next morning my Mom set the cage outside again and repeated the process (despite my argument that she wanted to stay with us). My mom did her best to encourage the little sparrow to leave the cage and explore her freedom, but to no avail. She was meant to be free and it would be wrong to force her to live in a little cage when her heritage was to possess the wide blue yonder.
That evening when I got home late from school and work, it was already dark, but our little feathered friend was still in the cage. On the third morning my Mom repeated the steps and but again our little feathered friend was still in the cage, despite being set free for the 3rd time.
This little sparrow chose to stay with us, rather than be made free. So, we gave her a name, Tweety, and allowed her to live with us.
We experienced several years of wonderful companionship with our little Tweety and she even alerted us to a fire a few years later. But if we had never put her outside and set her free then the choice would never have been hers to make.
Those of us who have accepted the free gift of redemption through the sacrifice of our Messiah have been set free, but have we chosen to walk out in that freedom? If you missed David's teaching on this topic, you can watch rebroadcast here or on the picture below.
Be blessed!

Still, I would like to present a point that I overlooked from yesterday’s message. The message is entitled, “Command GOD”. And while some may shrink at the thought of being able to command God, YHVH, to do anything, I lay out with specificity the manner in which we may be able to do so.
It is quite intriguing that we have such opportunity, In the light of an all-powerful Elohim. If you will indulge me, this point will make it a little clearer.
How to comfort God
(5 minute read) Earlier this week I had a spiritual encounter. I woke up at 3:29 am with horrible images and sounds flooding my mind. I asked myself, why are these things in my head? And I...
