THAT's a big 10-4.
And which i must do better in crucifying.
Well, I've found that God has me on a choke collar, praise Jesus. (They don't call me Dwg fer nuthin'!) And when I go a-haring off after some earthly concern, he lets me run out the chain and it brings me up short — and in a hurry. Gimme another 4 or 5 decades and I may learn this whole "heeling" ting.
“Gimme another 4 or 5 decades and I may learn this whole “heeling” ting.”
I hear you, and we have no excuses. And as “in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing” ((Rm. 7:18), that is one reason that Jesus Himself is our only direct object of prayer, whom the Holy Spirit directs us to come to, and the only one the Bible declares “is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Heb 7:25)
(Heb 4:14-16) “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. {15} For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. {16} Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
(Heb 2:17-18) “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. {18} For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.”
