Captured 2020

Matthew 26:55
In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

I love it how the bible points to hours and minutes and seconds in the bible. It’s important that though some time does allude specifically to the time. As I read this first I immediately thought of the person who doesn’t know Jesus or for the fact has never read the bible. My prayer is I hope it is you that feel they have lost all hope; one who isn’t sure about this Jesus stuff. Can I tell you you’re not alone. There are 53 occurrences in the bible that speaks about captured. Captured could mean for someone who hopes to be capture for relief; (Let’s think of healing of the virus COVID-19) then there are others who thought that they wouldn’t get captured for their wrong doings but found out they did (How did we get here)

Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary

1. (n.) The act of seizing by force, or getting possession of by superior power or by stratagem; as, the capture of an enemy, a vessel, or a criminal.

2. (n.) The securing of an object of strife or desire, as by the power of some attraction.

3. (n.) The thing taken by force, surprise, or stratagem; a prize; prey.

4. (v. t.) To seize or take possession of by force, surprise, or stratagem; to overcome and hold; to secure by effort.

Here are some scriptures for healing for the us and the land:

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.” ~Psalms 107:19-21

“LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. Psalms 30:2

Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.” Psalms 103:2-4

“Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.” Psalms 6:2

“The LORD protects and preserves them— they are counted among the blessed in the land – he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.”Psalms 41:2-3

“I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD; heal me, for I have sinned against you.” Psalms 41:4

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalms 147:3

The Runner

20 Mar

As a child of Child of God there are some guidelines that one must take or follow. If I may I would like to compare this to a long distance runner. God is so awesome in how he takes everyday life as example hence; we have the parables. There are different types of distance running, also called marathon running, involves running distances of 1.86 miles (3 km) or more, often in a competitive setting. 3K, 5K, 10K, half marathon, cross-country and marathon races are all examples of long distance running. Ultimately, to make this run the body has to get in shape. It takes strength, speed, endurance aerobics skills, exercise and I believe sacrifice to run such distances and, therefore, anyone who is interested in distance running must train appropriately and adequately in order to avoid injuries to the body.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

I love this verse because it gives strength when it seems you want to give up but don’t be reminded in God’s Word; Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
