""Christ's Awesome Power Truly Invokes Valid Inspiration To You!(C.A.P.T.I.V.I.T.Y)"

"But life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus --- the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love." (Acts 20:24, TLB) |
I ask you now dear friend,
what captivity are you facing today?
Dear friend, I do not know what captivity you
are facing but Jesus Christ knows. The captivities we face are here to
destroy us and to bring our hopes and dreams down. We do not have to
allow them to take control of our lives. Yes, friend whatever you face
or you know someone is facing, there is hope and the hope is in Jesus.
I do not assume anymore that if someone comes to church regularly that everything is okay in their lives and they are walking and growing strong in the Lord. This can be far from the truth. Many of them can be facing silent bondage that only the Master’s Hand can heal. But the Master uses His servants’ lots of time to bring His healing. At times the healing of Jesus comes directly.
Captivities can come in many shapes and forms. They do not just have to be demon possession but they can be an unforgiving spirit, living in the past, having trouble to move on because of things that have happened, loss of hope and dreams, guilt, etc. If we dwell in them, they will control us but the Good News is that Jesus wants to reach you where you are friend. Yes, He does! Allow Him to come and work in your life. Allow Him to be the Lord of your life.
Don’t give up but keep holding on! If you know someone who seems to be in captivity to something, what they need is your understanding and love. This does not mean the action is condoned but allowing the person to share with you and working with the person to get help. There are couple of awesome churches I know that have done that very well. I want to invite each and every one of you to Oakland International Fellowship which meets on N. Dithridge Street in Oakland close to the University of Pittsburgh. It is part of Pittsburgh Chinese Church-Oakland.
I could not be writing this to you if the Lord Jesus did not deliver me from different types of captivities that gave me so much pain. Some pain does not go away overnight but the Lord Jesus in His love, grace, and mercy has given me the strength to endure through it all. When the pain resurfaces, I take it to the Lord in prayer. A particular situation in my life, that couple of my close church cell group members know, is what prompted me to read through the Word in 33 days. I pray our Lord gives each of you His strength to overcome what you face.
Whatever you are dealing with, allow Jesus to heal you and believe He will. He loves you friend. He will give you the strength and endurance to deal with these captivities. Yes, He will! His Blood was shed for you and can heal you where you are. Yes, He can! Don’t give up! Jesus wants to be the Lord of your past, the Lord of your present, and the Lord of your future. As Jesus works in your life, you can be the one to bring light into someone’s life with the Light of Jesus.
The people were amazed with Jesus not only because of His teaching but because He personally got involved in people’s lives and brought healing to them. The news of what Jesus did started spreading across Galilee. If churches and individuals do that, the news will spread that something is happening there. It is not for our glory but for the glory of Christ.
May you know the Lord that can heal you and will heal you as you wait upon Him! May you know the strength He gives you as you depend on Him to endure through the issues that you are facing! Amen!

Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, I want to
thank you so much for the healing you performed in the man’s life. Even
though you are Holy and the man was far from holy, you intervened in his
life and healed him. You cared for Him in his weakness. You do that for
us too. Thank you Jesus so much for what you have done and what you
still do in our lives. I pray now for all those who are in captivity to
different things in their life. Sometimes they feel they cannot go on
and just want to give up but you Oh Lord are a God who heals the
brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. You meet us where we are and we
ask you for your healing in people’s lives that need your amazing love.
Help us be the vessels you want us to be to carry out your work in this
broken world. May our actions bring your Light into people’s dark and
aching souls! Please be the Lord of their past, present, and future.
Help us to be instruments of love and heal us in our own lives please
Jesus. We want you to be lifted higher and higher. Help us to be
sensitive to those around us and reach them with your love Jesus. Thank
you so much Jesus for your help. Thank you for your healing power, for hearing
and answering us! In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!
No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in and resides with you! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend. You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who brings us hope, healing, and help! But beware of churches who do believe in the Word of God completely but there is no freedom in Christ but legalism involved.
As a student, it is not too late to join a fellowship on campus too this blessed New Year of 2008! May the Lord's presence and peace fill you with His love now and forever! Amen!
