At Prayer For Prayer Servants
[Colossians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 15:58]
[to Rev. Ron Davis (Poet, and my Pastor-at-Large)]
The designation "Prayer-Warrior" is current.
But I think it should be renamed, "PRAYER-SERVANT":
as thus, Brother Epaphras labored well,
although kept in a Roman prison cell.
Colossians gives us witness to his prayer
despite the difficult conditions there.
His spiritual work was faithful; joyous; fervent.

lovely
And don't forget the feeding of the 5 loaves and 2 fish ... Christ expected us to follow in his footsteps, had he meant for us to be meatless, he would not have served meat, not only that, but he would have preached against it.
Jesus was a vegetarian
Genesis 1 29, Isaiah 65 Isaiah 1: 11
Jesus drove the butchers out of the temple
Thank You Abba in the name of Jesus that all Christians
will now follow Christ in not eating animals

I think the comment above begs the question altogether about vegetarianism. Jesus drove all of the merchants out of the temple---the butchers, the money changers, and so forth. The temple porches had been set up as a kind of ancient strip-mall, or bazaar, and He objected to the idea of commerce going on within the sacred precincts of His Father's holy house. The issue was with the commerce,not with a particular commodity or profession. Furthermore, we cannot state that He was strictly a vegetarian, as we know from Luke's Gospel (and, of course, Luke was a physician, so he was very scientific in his approach to the life of Christ), because He ate a fish after His Resurrection; and, in John's Gospel, He fried fish for the disciples who had been out all night fishing. In that Jesus' life contained no contradictions at all, but was perfectly whole, we cannot derive strict vegetarianism from it, as He both consumed fish and prepared them for others' consumption. Perhaps you should review the Gospel accounts more carefully before making sweeping statements based upon Old Testament writings.
nice work
