Faith’s Flight

Do you know that Jesus withdrew? When he realized a violent offensive was launched against Him, He withdrew and no longer walked in the regions that Satan would have attached him bodily. Do you realize God is trying to preserve your life, so that you can live long and produce effectively for Christ? Did God not send the angel to Joseph in a dream to flee to Egypt against the Kings coming decree? And wasn’t He attempting to protect the Apostle Paul, when He spoke to Him in a trance, He said,  “depart from here they will not receive your testimony concerning me, for I will send your far away to the gentiles.”(Acts 22:21) He had his best interest at heart, wouldn’t his story have been a lot different if he had heeded Christs’ admonition? God has in store for you a long healthy life. So definitely pay attention to his direction and when he gives command, know that faith takes flight! 

14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired to kill Jesus. 15Aware of this,Jesus withdrew from that place. Matthew 12:14,15a
