Running with Jesus
Luke 7:1 "Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum."
Get your running shoes laced up, we are leaving the mountain and heading to Capernaum! Did you know Capernaum was called the town of Jesus! He made His home there and we are preparing to meet up with Matthew and all sorts of miracles are going to take place!
Why Capernaum? The great road of the sea led from Damascus, by way of Galilee, through Capernaum, down past Carmel, along the plain of Sharon, through Gaza, and on to Egypt. It was one of the great roads of the world. Another road led from Acre on the coast, away across the Jordan, out to Arabia and the frontiers of the empire. This road was trodden by the regiments and the caravans. Where these roads crossed in Galilee was a town named Capernaum, the town of Jesus. (Discover the book Ministry’s)
Jesus head quarters were in this town. Well traveled during this time. Peter's house was here. More miracles were done here but what we will see is their failure to recognize the Savior of the world. My heart was sad as I studied about this town because it brought me close to home. America the beautiful! We have had more freedom to worship, to read and hear the gospel than any other nation but today we have less who are even interested in hearing the message. We have access to more Bibles, more books and literature! We will have more to give account for too!
Please join me in prayer for our nation to return to her Biblical foundation!
Father forgive us and restore our nation. We confess abortion, we confess homosexuality, we confess disobedience, neglecting You, for giving into pleasure and not honoring the Holy Day, we confess we love riches and things more than You. We confess the love of pleasure over the love for God. Be merciful to us as sinners help us return to You! Jesus help! Father please raise up Godly men and women to help restore our nation. Raise up Josiah's who restore the reading of Your Word and restore praying in our schools. Oh merciful Father, bring a revival to our land.
Faith praying, tomorrow!
