His Word Did Not Return Void

So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My Mouth: It shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
The Word became flesh and went forth with Commandment. With a body prepared by God for Sacrifice, He came to give His life a ransom for all. Without spot or blemish, He was as a lamb led to the slaughter. He was and Is the Only Sacrifice accepted by God once, for all, and forever. He is the Propitiation and Atonement for ALL sin. He accomplished ALL surrender and ALL obedience on our behalf. His obedience included His death by means of the cross. As Christ was God’s Chosen and Perfect Sacrifice so was the cross His Chosen and Perfect alter.

He did not just accomplish The Will of God, but He Prospered in it. By The Power of The Blood and His cross, He does not just give us life, but gives us abundant life. He is for us in every aspect, in everything, and every day. It is His Finished Work at Calvary that gives us the Power to become the children of God. It was through His Finished Work at the cross that He was able to send The Comforter to abide upon and IN us. It is by His Blood that He lives in us and we live in Him. It is by His Blood that all sin is Washed and Cleansed away, removing every spot and blemish from the Believer to be remembered no more. It is The Power of the cross that removes the curse of sin from us. His Death sanctifies us and His Resurrection shows us Justified.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.  Isaiah 53:10
What the blood of bulls and goats could not do, The Blood of Jesus exceedingly DOES. The blood of bulls and goats could not perfect the saints in that it could not cleanse the conscience, but we ARE Perfected IN Him, all guilt of sin washed away (Hebrews 9:13-14 & 10:1-4). He was touched with the feelings of our infirmities and in all our times of Need we can enter in, by HIS Blood, to the Holy of Holies through the veil of His Body, to obtain Mercy and Grace at anytime and all the time (Hebrews 4:15-16). He does not leave us Comfortless, but desires with Passion to lift us above our infirmities. He does not tear down, but causes the crooked to become strait Healing the brokenhearted and blessing the poor in spirit. He gives strength to the feeble and gives beauty for ashes anointing the head of the mourning with the Oil of Gladness.

Love that covers a multitude of sin, not looking back on the outward, but rejoicing IN TRUTH as The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ does its abundantly merciful and exceedingly gracious work. God Loves all, but only those who find the narrow road in which Gods Love is revealed can experience it. Christ and Him crucified. (1 John 4:10-11) The Cross of Christ is all that stands between humanity and an Eternal Hell, between all Christians and victory every day afforded them there.

Ears To Hear

  • 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from The Truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Even understanding that most do not have ears to hear today, it is evident, that there are still some few who do. For the few who do have ears to hear, and have not been blinded by religion, your path is about to shine this year brighter than ever before simply because you have placed your faith in The Finished Work of Christ without adding anything else to it. The LORD has Promised to surround those, who hear The WORD and keep THE Faith, with His Goodness (which is what leads us to repentance, Romans 2:4) and to drop fatness (plenty of Blessing) in His Path for us. (Psalms 65:1)
Proverbs 4:18 declares the path of the just is like the shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day. The path of the just is a PATH OF FAITH because we have been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH (Romans 5:1). Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). The Word of God is our instruction IN RIGHTEOUSNESS (2 Timothy 3:16) and the Righteousness of God is revealed in the Gospel from faith to faith. Romans 1:16-17 reveals the gospel is CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED as it says the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation (salvation of any kind in the Word of God ALWAYS speaks of the cross of Christ). If the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel of Christ (cross of Christ) and our instruction from God is the Word of God, the only way we can receive true saving, sanctifying, instruction from the Lord is to have our faith anchored exclusively in the cross.
1 John 1:7 proclaims that if we are walking in the light as the Lord is in the Light we are in fellowship with Him AND THE BLOOD cleanses us from all sin. “And The Blood”, speaks of the cross and lets us know there is no light outside of faith in the cross of Christ for salvation, deliverance, blessing, or anything else the Lord has for us.
This is why Paul preached Christ and Him crucified and wrote that adding anything else for victory causes Christ to become of none effect. (1 Corinthians 1:17) The Lord is found ONLY in the light of the cross. If we can do anything other than believe, to obtain victory, Christ did not need to come and die. All principalities and powers were defeated as Christ triumphed over them making an open show of them in His cross (Colossians 2-14-15) This is still the only way you can triumph over anything hindering you from being conformed into the image of Jesus Christ, which should be your focus. (Colossians 2-14-15) The devil transforms his angels as ministers of light and they are the one’s leading every one to a place they call beyond the cross which is darkness in all reality. We are told to GO BACK to our first love, (the cross) not beyond it. The Lord is waiting on you to take a stand and come out of the fear of man, which has you trapped. (Proverbs 29:25) He is speaking to many of you today. Please do not continue to push him aside worried about what everyone else will think.

2 Corinthians 2:14 proclaims there is never ending victory for the children of God even today and every today. This scripture not only convicts me due to the lack of victory I experience at times, but also encourages me, revealing to me there can be uninterrupted victory in my life. If I do not understand from where my victory comes, I will be found trying TO DO many things to find it. Let us look at what the scripture says.

2 Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.
Notice where the triumph is found. In Christ. This exclusively speaks of faith in what Christ did at the cross, and not just in “a” jesus. The Apostle Paul tells us there is “another gospel”, “another jesus”, “ushered in by another spirit”. If our faith in Christ is separated from His finished work, we have a faith the Lord does not and will not recognize. The Apostle Paul writes, “As you have RECEIVED the Lord Jesus Christ, WALK YE ALSO IN HIM.” The Word of God reveals we can be in Christ, yet fail to walk in Him. Walking in Him SIMPLY means to keep our faith in what it was in when we were initially saved. The same finished work of Christ that saved you from hell will also save you from a gossiping tongue, lusting spirit, envy, strife, alcohol, drugs, terrible marriage etc… My bible says all principalities & powers were defeated by Christ as He triumphed over them, making an open show of them IN HIS CROSS. (Colossians 2:14-16) Only a religious spirit would try to bring works in as part of deliverance. The only legitimate deliverance ministry is the ministry like that of the Apostle Paul, the preaching of Christ and Him crucified. There is no other way to be delivered from sin. So many, with their lips, say they know this, but listen to what is being ministered. Remember, many are called, but few are chosen. (Matthew 22:14)You can walk away from whatever it is holding you down, choking the life out of you simply by placing your faith back in the cross of Christ. If your faith is in what He did, you will be identified with His cross, and experiencing the victory that was provided you there. God bless.
