John 18:11
Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
John 17:15-19 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
Thank you Jesus for drinking your cup the Father gave u.
Thank you for not shrinking back but willingly and obediently drinking the cup prepared for You .
We all have a cup Father God has prepared for us.
We all have times where we go through the valley , a place of darkness( Kidron).
We must faithfully and obediently drink our cup.
We must not shrink back .
What are we going through ?
Will we listen to Satans whispers to give in ,give up and take the easy root out?
Is financial struggles too challenging...so we can't give ?
Is marriage too hard?
Is satan at your ear saying get out of it , you better on your own?
Is the pain and constant illness telling you God does not heal or hear your prayers .
Do you push through all the illnesses,the disappointments, the hurts and the discouragement, feeling that you all alone ?
Satan targets those moments and seasons where we in the" Kidron valley "
Jesus crossed over the Kidron Valley to go to the Garden of Gethsemane.
There, while with his disciples, he still went further away on his own to recieve strength and power from His Father .
It was His alone time as darkness was descending upon Him as he bore our sins on the cross.
Kidron is a valley ,a low place.
Meaning Dark,dirty, gloomy.
We need to cross it into the garden of prayer, our Gethsemane, where we through ardent prayer recieve the strength from Father God to drink our cup.
GREATER GRACE TO US ALL
