A thought from Jason
June 4, 2000
The air that is obtainable
I feel so led by the Lord right now to write this to you. My
fingers cannot write fast enough to explain what God has put on
my heart for you all to hear tonight.
The scripture that our
Lord has brought to me talks about a race that we run every day.
I pray that this thought that God has put on my mind, will help
you in your time of need right now. I don’t know who needs to
hear this but here it is.
1 Corinthians 9: 24-27, "Do you not
know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the
prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone
who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they
do it to obtain a perishable crown but we for an imperishable
crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty . Thus I
fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body
and bring it into submission, lest when I have preached to
others, I myself should become disqualified.”
The Lord has brought this to me tonight to tell you something
very important. If you feel weary if you feel tired,,,Jesus
understands.
If you run for a prize every day that seems
meaningless He understands. He knows because He walked the path
your already walking down. He understands what it feels like to
be mocked to be beaten every day. When your ready to give up,
tell God that you are desperate for Him.
And the hand that was
crucified for you and for your strength will instantly reach out
and lift you out of the dust. The dust that you considered home
for so long will become a memory and God will show you the
breath and air that only the creator could show you. That air
will sustain you through all the tiresome trouble you encounter
every day. God will teach you to breath His air. Listen to that.
God will show you His air His strength His goal for your life.
And He will show you the prize that can be yours. So run like
you have never run before. Because your coach, is rooting for
you.
Can you guess who He is?
He’s the one, that commanded to
seas to stop and they did. He’s the one created the mountains
and oceans with His word. He holds everything you want and
desire in His palm. And HE will lead you to the finish line.
Just trust Him to guide you. And when He tells you to get up.
Get up . And run like you’ve never run before. Because He will
give you the extra push that will get you to the imperishable
goal He has set for you. And when you get there , there He will
be , with a smile and a embrace that you will never forget.
So
can you hear him? He’s rooting for you. You're on His team and He
cant wait to see you finish. There might be no one behind you
but don’t let that bother you. Jesus , is behind you , now run ,
run , run!
Have a blessed day.... Jason
