"Care of the Body of Jesus"

 "It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn't want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was Passover). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn't break his legs. One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out. (This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you also can believe.) These things happened in fulfillment of Scriptures that say, "Not one of his bones will be broken," and "They will look on the one they pierced."" (John 19:31-37 NLT)

  "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house." (Isaiah 42:6-7 KJV)

 Hopefully everyone is doing well, because I believe that we might be in for another dark cloud covering over the nations. Regardless of what is put forth or portrayed, there is a spiritual battle that is going on, as the time is drawing near, the closer we get, the harder it will be to pay close attention. 

 Forget about the things that you see and focus upon the Lord! I let my guard down, due to illness, when I should have been paying attention the what the Lord told me to do, not the way that I might have been feeling! Don't let anything stop you from standing your ground! 

 By the way, please remember to read your Bible out loud to yourself; slowly and accurate to your family; and by all means, read with authority... 

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." (Ephesians 6:10-13 KJV)
