"My body is supposed to break down at my age—decline is just normal."
How it sounds in your head: Every guy I know my age has something wrong. Bad knees, bad back, diabetes, heart issues. The doctor says it's just part of getting older. I should accept this is how it is now.
"Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished."
-- Deuteronomy 34:7Enemy/world: Medical system normalizes disease as aging instead of curse Jesus took.
Every friend at the gym or golf course has a ailment list. Medical forms ask what medications you're on, not if. The cultural narrative is that 60+ means managing decline, not experiencing health.
At 85 years old, Caleb declared he was as strong as he was at 40—still ready for war and battle. His strength didn't decline because God's promise sustained him, and he immediately took the mountain he was promised decades earlier.
I REFUSE the lie that my body must deteriorate because of my age. IT IS WRITTEN: Moses at 120 had undimmed eyes and undiminished vigor. IT IS WRITTEN: Caleb at 85 was as strong as at 40. I am Abraham's seed, an HEIR according to promise. The BARAK blessing covers my body—I am blessed coming in and going out. Christ redeemed me from the curse of decay. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and HE renews my youth like the eagle's.
The Father isn't watching you deteriorate with a shrug saying 'that's life.' He's running toward you with the same power that raised Christ from the dead, ready to quicken your mortal body RIGHT NOW because His Spirit lives in you.
