There have been countless bank robberies and train robberies
committed in the past. In fact there are many kinds of robberies people have
done which we know are illegal.
Usually the robbers would yell in the process of a robbery
"This is a hold up! keep your hands
raised where I can see them and no one will get hurt"
Did you know God wants you to holdup His Son the Lord Jesus
Christ, who died for you, for others in prayer? That this is the greatest legal holdup
we can do to have atonement for salvation of our souls or in prayer for
another?
Moses did holdups, did you know that?
He held up His staff
towards the heavens and God saw the holdup of prayer which gave his people Israel,
protection and blessing. When he kept the staff raised no one got hurt.
One can pray, "God, Dear Father I hold up your Son Jesus on my behalf as having died for me on the cross shedding His blood, I believe this in my heart, then you raised him from the dead that I now call on His name out loud as my Lord and savior.
or
One can pray, "God, Dear Father I holdup Jesus your Son
on behalf of my friend to open his eyes to listen to your plan of salvation for
him to know you personally in the Spirit"
Anyone can do a holdup
Will you ever do a holdup?
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even
so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have eternal life.
God lifts us up as well, as we belong to His Son, who died for us and took our burdens and sorrows.
ReplyDeleteAmen. And all that is needed is our response to His truth
