Stop playing in the Mud.

I had to write something about it, I couldn't help myself, it was like a big rush who brought me over to do it, it is Urgent, This cannot Wait. I have a problem, a Big problem with those so called Mud Run, or Mud races whatever they call it. What is the deal with that? and why are so many Christians participating on it.

These Mud Races have and intensive line of obstacle course,  extreme physical challenges and even electric shock torture and on top the whole thing is that they are done in Mud, hence the name.  Do you even know how much you are Worth in Christ? Why are you after that, like almost seeking out Punishment; And that is exactly what it is , the enemy has once again decieved you into doing something that you think is "right" when it is not. It is a hidden punishment, just think how he accuses you in front of God, there is your Son or Daughter, look at them you cleansed them with your precious blood and look at them willingly playing in the mud, participating with the rest of the world. 

Another thing that I find wrong is the Pride that comes after successfully completing one of those races, and of course it is human nature to feel glad to acomplish something "great", but before you go out and share pictures and stories about it, ask yourself if God really wants you to participate on that, becareful if you are not walking around glorifying yourself in your own Shame.

Christian ladies, Proverbs 31 Woman, what are you thinking? wearing body tight clothing, jumping around in wet mud, around men, acting like a men, being torture like you are seeking out punishment. I am sorry if you read this and get "offended" but there are many other ways to exercise, you are call to glorfiy God with everything that you do.   

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. (Psalms 40:2 KJV)

He already brought you out of the miry clay, why are you willingly trying to go back.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:17 KJV)

Glorify God with All that you do.

Everytime I hear about Mud Run , I remember this story in the Bible: 

And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. (Matthew 8:28-33 KJV)

The last thing anyone wants to hear when they are doing something wrong, is that they are wrong, when I see the list of obstacle course and extreme physical challenges on top of running willingly in Mud, my mind is not at ease. There must be something wrong that. The best advice I can give you is to Pray and Fast and ask God for guidance , ask him to reveal to you if participating in that is glorifying Him. You don't want to hear that trumpet and be found playing in the mud with the rest of the pigs...
