Beat them stripped allowed
The crowd joined in the attack on them, and the magistrates had them stripped and ordered them to be beaten with rods. After inflicting many blows on them, they threw them into prison and instructed the jailer to guard them securely. When he received these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and secured their feet to a stake. Acts 16:22-24
Why are you downcast, my soul, why do you groan within me? Wait for God, for I shall again praise Him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42:12
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted. Luke 14:11
Acts 16:22-24, Psalm 42 & Luke 14:11
There are many times in my life that I felt tied to a stake by my feet enduring self-will in the worst possible light be in drunkenness or downright deplorable activities of the flesh while lying in a state of fear as your heart beats so fast it seems it will jump out of your chest and begin bouncing on the floor with the evil that seems to grip your intentions as something keeps you stationary like ankles chained to a stake. It is frightening to be made to do something against your will caused by the victim of shame in you until God sets you free in His Son asking not what He can do for you but what you will do in life to share His Cross of Salvation tolerant of the blows giving your entire heart to goodwill.
It’s not easy and God makes this very clear in showing the suffering of child, women and men who are an active part oin proclaiming the Gospel whether tied or tormented for you know your freedom awaits in the confession of Jesus as the Messiah clearing souls for Freedom found only in Repentance. The only way to overcome the downcast we all will encounter is to practice hope bringing you back to prayer as the faith proclaimed to love over hate gaining souls in the conversations and courtesies of Christ. This is the humility of living life exalting the One and Only Way to Heaven God fated; Jesus! Amen.
Let us pray Heavenly Father help us sing our chains of in Hymns of Your Salvation. Pray for the soul of John Fahey and Deacon Green. Closerwalkmedia.com WedSun 7:55 AM IN Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
