April 8

Running with Jesus

Luke 13:31-33   The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

     Jesus knew before He left heaven what His mission was to be, to pay the penalty of our sin. He came to deliver us from our last enemy, death. He stayed His course through life and He totally completed His mission. 

     Jesus is still working in this world today and this world is still seeking to kill Jesus. Christians, Christ runners, are being sought to be killed in this world. We are hated by many false religions that are cutting off heads and calling us infidels. But even sadder is those right near us, friends and coworkers don't want to see or hear about Jesus anymore. America, why are you killing the One Who brought life and freedom to this country. So sad because everyone wants the American Dream life but no one wants the Giver of that life, Jesus! 

     Oh, the Bible tells us the prophets wept for Jerusalem. Let us weep for America! I have ask several times for us to join in prayer for our nation. We must be serious and commit to pray for our country!

Father, we cry out for You to deliver this country from unbelief and raise up Godly men and women to lead us back to Jesus. Just like Jesus You have given us a work to do. Help us stay on the course and finish our race. Give us strength and empower us to give us a bold witness. Bind the powers of darkness in our nation, states, counties and towns that our Christian beliefs should be preserved!!!

Tomorrow: Jesus, the Sabbath day, a Pharisee, and a diseased man!
