The Bible is a Map…Guide, a Letter from God Himself giving us direction through words of inspirations from Him. Every word was meant to mold and shape us into what He would have us to be. One of the most notable pens of the bible is the Apostle Paul, who had no problem calling himself a sinner and yet…a Prisoner of Christ. Let us Press-on, as we follow Paul and the cloud of witnesses who has gone-on before us (Heb 12:1)amen!

It’s understood that the term …Prisoners… describing us and Jesus, will offend some, but as we walk with The Redeemer we value this biblical term’s…wisdom. To be a…prisoner…references containment which indicates…a made-up mind whereby surrendered within God’s Rich Raiment… are paved the rough roads…of the resigned. Prisoners…that’s what Jah’s followers are… consentingly, wrapped in heavenly chains and how we exalt Him…for His bars that bind us to…Salvation’s Frame. Yes, we are spiritually…glued to Him like a babe glued to a tit whereby… even forces of raging wind cannot loose…His…Proprietor’s Grip. Certainly, being human we are imperfect coming short in so many ways, but God often reprimands to…correct… drawing us aside…for wise parley. Now, here and there…over time we may find ourselves mimicking…a lee, still God mercifully holds us fast in a grind… ‘til our reason pleads…for Him to intercede. And we rejoice at His Strength realizing what He’s saving us from… the raging fire of damnation’s stench… and all the wrath…to come. So onward…with staff of faith…we trod over rapidly decaying earth and rivers… kept by nothing but…The Mighty Hand of God indeed, we are…His…Willing Prisoners.

This is really deep and one must comtimplate the inner structure of the poem. There are varibles . BUT WE DO GO FORWARD, trying to make the best of what is in the life in which so many facets are in volved. The world is constantly changing and some of it is not the best for mankind. THE ONE CONSTANT THING, is knowing our Lord is always there~

Prisoner = Surrender = Redemption

I understand that concept, Joyce. Love, peace, and blessings to you,

Regis. 🙏

I am not offended, but I am concerned about those who feel they are captive to the Bible and its ancient wisdom, some of which holds true today, and most of which is no longer relevant. Especially if we are to leave childhood and prisons like this, grow up, and face the real problems we have more directly than we have been doing.
