A former music leader at my church made an excellent observation several years ago. He stated that somebody who was a carpenter during Jesus' time would be very strong, not some frail and feeble little wimp.

Don't forget also during his last hours on Earth, Jesus got knocked around, had his back ripped apart by a cat-o-nine tails whip, forced to carry a cross, and then got nailed to it without once calling out to God to get him out of that situation. At any time, Jesus could of called for 12 legions of angels (that's between 36,000 and 72,000 angels), but he didn't just so he could finish his mission to be the sacrifice we all needed. Now that took guts.

I like that post :20:

Jesus sure ain't no sissy.

Though He is often pictured with long flowing hair, and somehow effeminate, and His love is misconstrued as 'weakness'......

Yet He was man enough to come down and endure things that most people (including me) would not have to courage to face.

He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. He endured shame and ridicule (unfairly)....and answered not a word.

He endured beatings, humiliation, crucifixion..........for others!

How many of us could say that we would do that?

Jesus is not a sissy.

He is my hero! :20:

Exactly !!!!!

In fact, it is the ultimate example of perfectly restrained power ever seen on this earth.

Peace,

no jesus is no sissy at all he did what no man could do and he put up with a lot for a carpenters son he was a strong man and he had guts to take that pain that he endured any normal man would have fainted and i dont think that a man would have put up with the beating that our lord jesus christ had to put up with i read the bible in jail and tried to imajine what he would have had to put up with then when the passion of christ came out i got this on dvd and before i put it on i prayed and i asked the holy spirit to just open my eyes to what christ endurd on his last day and the court yard got to me as i could not stop crying i cried in jail when i read the bible but i never cried like the way i did when i watched the passion it just got me to how much he put up with and to think he took the sin of the hole world upon him self so that we can be free this is a man that i respect and i am glad that he is my brother and my friend in times when i need him to pull me threw

jesus thank you for the blood that was shed on the cross jesus thank you for doing what you did on the cross as you took my sin and you forgave me i am honord to serve you and have you come into my life

Also there is nothing un-Christian about healthy, tough and rigorous competition, including football, boxing, wrestling etc.

The bible does instruct that bodily exercise is profitable.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
