THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSS,

Today, I believe God is calling His people out of the world. Out of , our soulish desires (our flesh) to be a witness once again that Jesus is alive, resurrected, and living His life through His body, the true church.

Over the centuries our intellects have been educated about God. Thousands of books have been written.  Doctrines have been preached that have split churches. Our minds have become so full of the knowledge about God, but, who is He? 

It is so easy to be caught up in religion and even the thrill of the charismatic movement. But here too, Satan can counterfeit spiritual gifts, signs and wonders. But He can not counterfeit the love of our Savior living His life through His body the true church.

 St. Paul understood the two sides of the cross: death and resurrection. "I have been crucified in Christ, it is no longer I that lives but Christ that lives with in me. And the life I now live I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and died for me." Gal 2:20. 


"If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.  For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.  For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?"  

You ask, how can I live in His resurrection life when I still sin? Repent and turn to God.  He will take your sin to the cross and release His forgiveness. You will actually experience the great exchange: your life for His.


Because He lives, we can face tomorrow knowing that His great love and forgiveness is always available in every circumstance to transform us into His image.  His resurrection power is continuously being released into the earth through the Holy Spirit and into His body, the true church.  If He is lifted up in us He will draw all men unto Himself.

Let us forsake this world and only unto Him be true.

ENTERING INTO MAJESTY

 As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have come into a newness life.  The old life has been nailed to the cross and we are beginning to understand  who we are as new creations in Christ.  I pray you will find this word encouraging to your soul.  Graham says is so well.  May your hearts be blessed and your spirits fed by the Word of God.

OUR INHERITANCE IN CHRIST

When I think of inheritance I think of someone dying and leaving a Will.  There may be some stipulations if you are under 21 years of age or perhaps it would be given out as a measured as a allowance.  There are many ways to leave a Will.

However, a man has died and left an inheritance of extraordinary abundance to His love ones.  The Lord Jesus Christ has died and He has given to His bride the Church the first downpayment of His whole inheritance to enable us to live in the world and NOT to be of it.

As you listen to this tape may the Lord bless your spiritual ears and eyes to see your new inheritance in Christ.
