The Breaker!<\/p>\n
(Charles Spurgeon)
\n\u201cThe Breaker has gone up before them. He will bring you through the gates of your cities of captivity, back to your own land. Your King will lead you; the Lord Himself will guide you!\u201d Micah 2:13
\nInasmuch as Jesus has gone before us, things do not remain as they would have been, had He never passed that way. He has conquered every foe which has obstructed the way. Cheer up O faint-hearted warrior. Not only has Christ traveled the road\u2014but He has slain your enemies upon life\u2019s road!
\nDo you dread sin? He has nailed it to His cross!
\nDo you fear death? He has been the death of death!
\nAre you afraid of hell? He has barred the gates of hell from being entered by any of His children; they shall never see the gulf of perdition!
\nWhatever foes may be before the Christian\u2014they are all overcome!
\nThere are lions\u2014but their teeth are broken!
\nThere are serpents\u2014but their fangs are extracted!
\nThere are rivers\u2014but they are bridged or fordable!
\nThere are flames\u2014but we wear that matchless garment which renders us invulnerable to fire!
\nThe Breaker, Christ\u2014has taken away all the power that anything can have to hurt us. Well then, you may go safely and joyously along your journey, for all your enemies are conquered beforehand! What shall you do\u2014but march on to take the prey? They are beaten, they are vanquished; all you have to do is to divide the spoil. You shall, it is true, often engage in combat; but your fight shall be with a vanquished foe! His head is broken! He may attempt to injure you\u2014but his strength shall not be sufficient for his malicious design. Your victory shall be sure\u2014and your treasure shall be beyond all count!
\n\u201cProclaim aloud the Savior\u2019s fame,
\nWho bears the Breaker\u2019s wondrous name;
\nSweet name; and it befits Him well,
\nWho breaks down earth, sin, death, and hell!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
