The Wounds Of Christ!

"He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hid their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely, he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken of God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:3-5

"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction. The one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." Galatians 6:7-9-10

"Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again." Ecclesiastes 11:1

I often contemplate the crucifixion. Even though that heart-moving event occurred two-thousand years ago, forever sealing the redemption of those choosing Christ as Lord and Savior, the Revelator of Truth continues to stir my spirit over the high price and significance of that dark, earthshaking day, which ultimately ushered in the Light of all lights.

God so loved the world that He sent Heaven's Best to redeem us from the curse of the law. That was His choice. Envisioning through prophetic eyes, He exercised a determination to move forward with the plan, in spite of this sin-soaked planet. Indeed, the Most High was watching over the eternal, forever settled Word, to perform it. Additionally, Jesus agreed to make that trip and become our sacrifice.

Never once was the Throne Room out of control. The Master made His point abundantly clear when declaring, "No man can take My life. For I lay it down willingly for the Sheep." Christ selected the exact moment to give up the Ghost. That was obvious at the time He exclaimed, "Father, into your hands I commend My Spirit." At that precise juncture, the Trinity readily cast their vote for humanity. What happened thereafter? Within three days, the Standby (Holy Spirit) kept Heaven's Word by moving on the lifeless body of Christ, not unlike what's transpiring within the Church during this dispensation of Grace. The Savior and we subsequently came out of that dark tomb. Sin, sickness, poverty and death could no longer exercise their power, or influence, over us. How do we know? The Covenant tells us so!

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, two-thirds of the angels, all creation...are awaiting a manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of the Most High, and again voted in favor of Love, Light and Life. That process arrived by way of both majority and mandate.

Every drop of Jesus' precious Blood, each open wound, continues to maintain significance in the Believer's walk. From the Mercy Seat, that same Blood articulates identity, destiny and deliverance to every hearing ear and yielded Vessel.

Let's look at the wounds of Christ through eyes of faith. In the Garden of Gethsemane, the Savior's struggle, in retrospect, was understandable. His disciples, having succumbed to their flesh and fallen deeply asleep, seemingly were not in a position of giving Him any comfort. A mere hour of prayer was out of the question.

The Redeemer's focus was vertical. He had to rely on the Father in that pressing situation. Satan presented glimpses of reality, including, but not limited to, the Lord's assimilation of all iniquity, sickness, poverty and death...past, present and future. Many were crucified back then. However, no one had to entertain a projection of bearing the totality of darkness. In the natural, we complain about headaches, toothaches and fatigue. That was the least of His contemplation. What Jesus did for the Bride impacted His precious body to an extent that caused some to wonder if God had indeed cursed Him.

He chose to assume sin's consequences, once and for all settling the penalty issue, so His Church could venture forth into the fulness of Glory, while performing the Great Commission of preaching the Gospel, healing the sick, casting out devils and raising the dead. With that costly decision, you and I have inherited the best Papa has to offer. It was an absolute endeavor of freely giving Glory's Twins...Goodness and Mercy, as well as an empowerment to plunder hell and populate Heaven in every possible way.

Let's return to that Garden scene. Jesus was struggling with His natural mind, which wasn't impressed with what was just ahead of Him. "If possible, let this cup pass from Me." In spite of that declaration, a subsequent statement contained the ultimate of pattern interrupts..."Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done!" Certainly, He was tempted in all points, like as we, yet without sin. The Master continued to cast His proverbial net onto the other side, in favor of blessing and abundance.

Blood exuded from pores of despair. A crown of thorns later generated more of the same. Remember, not one wound had insignificance. That flowing from scalp to neck was for the healing of the Christian's mind. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him. The Redeemer's stripes were for the obliteration of all physical and psychological diseases.

What about those cruel spikes, driven through hands that blessed multitudes, and feet, which had ventured down man's pathway of pain? Doesn't the Word say that Dad would prosper everything we place our hands to? Were our feet not deemed as precious and anointed to possess the land with conviction and authority? You and I possess Christ's hands and feet. We are to use them in His stead, to bless humanity in every possible way.

Prophetically, I can tell you that the day is quickly approaching, when this earth will literally purr and move under our feet, not unlike a loved-starved kitten, responding to the excellency of that Power within, in direct response to, and recognition of, the Creator's touch! Yes, like the song, we'll be saying..."Let The Earth Move Under My Feet!"

A spear was driven into the Son's side. What was that all about? His heart was broken so men, women and children wouldn't have to carry the excruciating pain of rejection, abandonment, loss and betrayal, an itch that can't be scratched by anything or anyone but the Master, through His Covenant.

While hanging on that cross, Blood streamed in cooperation with gravity. The very second one drop permeated the soil, this earth became His, and ours, as Joint Heirs. Evil has no rights, as we exercise ours. Are you ready to venture forward into the richness of Glory and release captives with the miraculous? I surely am!

Become Not Weary!

"Special Child, picture a tennis ball being struck by an abundance of might. That sphere of perpetual motion represents a Seed of Revelation, or promise, for which you've been patiently awaiting manifestation. Programmed within the ball is a little Computer Chip, the Glory, that will ultimately reverse its course and return the blessing, with interest, to the original point of origin. Jesus was also sent, but He eventually found Himself at the right hand of the Grand Sower. This is no different. While that minuscule Seed propels through the atmosphere, a Supernatural trip, it continues increasing in size and momentum, like a snowball rolling down a steep hill. Become not weary in well doing. For in due season, you'll reap, if there's a refusal to faint. I Am not mocked. Let Me touch the surface of that. We'll discuss this further in the future. Examine Scripture...'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.' You see, the mocking surfaces when a determination is made to refuse nudgings and promptings, dreams and visions, orders from Heaven's Headquarters, to yield and obey. On the other side of that is the fulfillment of My Word, a multiplied reaping after the sowing. That tennis ball may require a little time before returning, but wait patiently, acknowledging and honoring the fruit of the Spirit, just as I did while Jesus completed His mission on earth. He arrived Home glorified! Your investment is gaining interest. Refuse fear and weariness. Turn off those naysayers. Dad neither slumbers nor sleeps, and is diligently watching over your Seed to produce an unprecedented, unparalleled harvest. No word or act will be overlooked. Know that! We are dealing with spiritual laws here. In no way will I be mocked. Just keep sowing. A demand has been placed on the ground, as the Blood continually speaks on your behalf. There's no bad news on this end, only peace, joy and fulfillment. Prepare for a massive return. Your day is coming!"
