Becoming a captive for Christ!

We need to let go of the idea of doing things for Christ and understand what it means to be a captive in Christ.

In your spiritual journey, Jesus will lead you into the role of a captive for His purposes. You probably won’t be confined in jail but you will feel very isolated.

This happens because God wants to use you to bring a triumph to His glory. As a captive you participate with intercession and prayer for the priorities of Christ.

Believers like to do a litany of works to feel good and to please God. The revelation from the Holy Spirit is God doesn’t want your works. He wants to set you aside to labor for His purposes.

As a captive for Christ you will be very close to Jesus and enveloped in His purity and glory. In this role you are very valuable to God because you have no motive other than to please Jesus. The world and your self interests can’t muddy up the picture.

The Holy Spirit will guide you into prayer and intercession to set people free and save souls. He is always at work to bring glory to Jesus.

Intercession is filling up your flesh with the afflictions of Christ for His Body the church. The goal is to bring down strongholds and break the power of Satan.

You and I lack the ability to pray like Jesus. Humanistic prayers will get you nowhere! Learn to be silent and yield to the Holy Spirit. He will take you into the gutters of life with groanings to deep to understand.

The victories will come as Jesus spreads the aroma of His life saving knowledge around the world. You may not see all the fruit of your efforts as it is mostly hidden in Christ.

Pray in harmony with the Holy Spirit and Jesus will shake the earth and heavens to bring honor to His name!
