Let us pray. Dear Heavenly Father, I bind and rebuke all evil things and the devil's works away from the body of Christ, and claim peace of mind, heart, body, and soul for all who need it, and I claim healings for all who need them, Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgression, he was bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed, In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
Hurricane Nate was coming through recently, thankfully all of our prayers worked, and instead of it building up into a Category Two, it remained a Category One, there was still a lot of damage done to a lot of places. Did you know that after a certain mph wind, first responders cannot go to help? It almost makes me want a hero. Just thinking there could be someone who needs help, and they're not able to go, makes me mad, There are only two things that make me angry. Sin, and Not being able to help if someone needs it.
I wanted to be a hero so badly up until recently, when I realized God wanted me as I am, and not as the person I feel I should be. But still, who is there for the people that God won't hear?
If a person hasn't repented, and asked for forgiveness, God doesn't hear but only one prayer. The prayer of repentance. "And we know that God heareth not sinners...." That's in John 9:31.
It looks to me like they have a choice, They can live in Sin, and do what they want, how they want it, and then suffer for eternity, or they can choose God, and live forever in heaven.
Personally, I've only lived 20 years, but I've seen a small glimpse of pain and sorrow, and I wouldn't want that for anyone. Why would anyone choose Death and Suffering for eternity out of his or her own free will? I just don't understand that.
I'm just tired of seeing all of the suffering, and not being able to do anything about it. I'm a normal average guy, what could I possibly do? But I guess that's the point, huh?
I just have to rely on God. And he'll get me through everything. All things, all the time, and everything, every time.
I'm going to buy a few things and train with them, here I am, Coleton Bryce Ritmanich, I may not be a superhero, but If I can make a difference to one person, and If I could help lead one soul to Christ, then It will all be worth it, I'm taking my church's motto as my own, "Bringing to Jesus one soul at a time." I like the sound of that.
Nonlethal stuff only though. I want the bad guys to repent, not get hurt. I'll buy a bullwhip for grabbing stuff, and a boomerang to through it at the bad guys. And I'll train with my shepherd's sling, I'll sling marshmallows!
I'll need an awesome style, and a another hero to fight along side of.
Of course, I'm not being serious. I don't fight, mainly because I'm sure I would probably be beaten down, badly. No, not actually going to do that hero stuff. But come on, someone has to do something, right?
I'll probably just let God be God in my life.
If I was a superhero, I'll probably join the police and be a detective too. Fight inside the law, that's cool! I've always looked up to superheroes, but I've looked up to real heroes more.
When I was four years old, it was a firefighter who saved my life from a house fire. I don't remember how the fire started, they said it was electrical, so I believe them. Herman Hutchinson, now THAT's a real hero.
How much more for the people who save souls?
Yeah, being realistic here, for now, God and Real Heroes are my heroes. And God is definitely Super!
I end in prayer with John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, In Jesus' Name, Amen.
