Running with Jesus

Acts 5:29 "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than man."

     Well is this not a verse for American's today? The apostles were healing, ministering, and preaching the Gospel and the religious sects were demanding they stop, put them in prison and threatened to kill them if they did.
     As the day is approaching the return of Christ we too can expect the heat to be turned up on us as true Bible thumping believers! We can't get a reporter to put on TV the countless lives that have been saved from so many worldly woes!  Yet let one Christian fall and they are ready to jump on it!
      Every day our religious freedoms our forefathers gave to us are being trimmed back.  We must begin today to say who we should obey, God or man? Who will you choose? We must purpose in our hearts before we are faced with this dilemma and pray for boldness!
                 

Father, as your return approaches, give us the boldness and power to stand. Give us a desire to obey You rather than man. Empower us with Your Spirit and sustain us with a steadfast heart to remain faithful. As Your Word tells us You will give us a word in season and out of season, let us allow You to be Lord of our words. Open the eyes of the blind who walk in darkness and help us be light in a world that is growing in darkness. We desire to obey You and help us remain in the path, running with You till we reach the finish line just like our forerunners of faith.

     We must press on as the evil day approaches! So keep on running the more we run with Jesus the stronger we will become.

Fighting God tomorrow! Have a blessed day! Meet me at the battle!
