Jesus Strengthened

Virtue in the form of energy power is leeched and the other forms of good virtue is weakened and dulled down affecting how one would normally, righteously and consciously act when one is working in a spiritual environment full of wrong and harmful spiritual practices. Such destructive Black Art practices depletes the Christian continually and at times to great debilitation of the body and affecting the straight and narrow path.

Even while we sleep we will find you acting on your best behaviour

Lyrics from song title ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World’ by band Tears for Fears

We find the masses shouting in unity to crucify an innocent man and choosing to release a known criminal instead; a classic sign that too much of the wrong spirit is present in an environment and community, presenting to reveal sound judgment is affected. (In the full story recall moments prior to the raucous crowd Satan entered Judas.)

Many will only see the worldly physical oppression of Jesus painful and labouring walk, receiving forty lashes prior to carrying the wooden cross to the crucifixion site in Golgotha, resulting in physical pain and shock from the injuries to trembling and un-wellness from strenuous exertion of the journey and the weight being carried. Only a handful would understand the oppressive effects of spiritual filth from wicked spiritual practices adding to the weight carried by the human body as well as hostile symptoms in many forms, from pain and trembling of the body, nausea, or energy leeching out when spiritually healing another; a feeling of being out of sorts, the complete opposite of shalom and being in perfect peace and health.

In the story of the woman with a blood disorder, Jesus acutely noted the change to His person and wholeness of being when He was touched by someone who markedly affected how He had lost substantially his oneness and harmony of being while the masses thronged around Him.

But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
- Luke 8:46

A good visual example of this is during the scene in the motion picture ‘Son of God’ directed by Christopher Spencer where Jesus  is struggling with the carrying of the cross towards His place of crucifixion. Jesus body trembles continually, in pain and with the weight of the cross and the filth of the world (that cannot be seen with the natural eye) that is upon His holy body.  One can see the whole quiver running through His body. Each time He is whipped or touched another weight is added to His load from the transfer from spiritually unclean people; eventually struggling to carry the mounds of oppressive spiritual filth that has been placed upon Him. These scenes are so relevant of today and the effect the world has on Christians; especially those in the world who play with the Dark Arts of Black Magic.  Like the woman who touched Jesus cloak and the power leeched from His body and the Lord says, “Who touched me?” and the disciples appear confused to the question, for Jesus is surrounded by people reaching out to touch Him. But Jesus is aware one particular person has touched him that leeched a great amount of power from his person; in this case the bleeding women who desired healing from her blood disorder. In which, “Her FAITH healed her,” Jesus said. This is all that is said about this incident, though I do question in my humanness whether she practiced in the black arts and was struck with continual bleeding from her involvement in that which is abhorrent to God and therefore the reason for the great leeching of power.

I find that verse four in this hymn written by William Cowper (1751-1800) ‘Who Healeth All Thy Disease’ illustrates so well the theft of power and strength:

She, too, who touched thee in the press, | And healing virtue stole, | Was answered – “Daughter, go in peace, | Thy faith hath made thee whole.

For I know when I am working in an environment with many who operate  in the abhorrent ways of spiritual dark practices, the perpetrators are forever wanting to offload their spiritual filth onto me (and steal God’s glory and empowerment that I am equipped with during my time of worship just to survive in this world.) My body often reacts with trembling and excess baggage of weight, affecting my performance and thought patterns in everyday life and work. Often the black shadows placed upon my back are like carrying around a load of bag of oranges down the length of it. I am oppressed by this extra weight and burden and continually seek from God the Heavenly Father deliverance of this spiritual filth by Jesus healing and deliverance authority.

They are in their ploys forever looking for opportunities to touch. Whether it be trying to hand me an object, accidentally on purposely bumping into me and then apologizing, making a direct bee-line to collide or brush past me. Their attempts to deceive and trick that it all was quite innocent, becomes a little too obvious over time. The beauty of all of these supposed innocent accidents is that God knows their hearts and true motives. I therefore accept the apology and I hand it over to the Lord with the comment, “You know the truths of their hearts in this situation, if it was not accidental or innocent but of the other, then I ask they be disciplined and rebuked in the authority of Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord.”

Therefore, it is necessary for Christians in prayer to continually seek restoration and healing of their person in prayer to the Father and Jesus Christ and to use the discipline of worship to aid in the recovery, until the next time.

For so to did Jesus receive strength whilst in prayer as He sought the Father and prepared for what was about to pass.

…saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony he prayed more earnestly: 
- Luke 22:42-44

When one knows their body they will know something is not right and will seek to bring oneself back to wholeness of being, just as Jesus shared in the Gospel of Mark chapter five, Jesus noted the change that something was now less in Him and had made Him feel differently.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, “Who touched my clothes?”  
- Mark 5:30
