Jesus’ Sacrifice

Jesus’ sacrifice was necessary so I could call on His name today!

Ephesians 6:14-17 – “14) So stand firm and hold your ground, having tightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (an upright heart), 15) and having strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation [to face the enemy with firm-footed stability and the readiness produced by the good news]. 16) Above all, lift up the [protective] shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” (Amplified)

Satan’s lies are so damaging to the psyche and soul of humanity. Satan is a liar and the father of lies. We must stand up and fight the good fight of faith with the weapons of warfare given us by and through the Lord Jesus Christ. The shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, our feet shod with the Gospel of peace, the Word of God (the sword of the Spirit), and prayer (direct communication with God) are the weapons of warfare. We are not fighting against flesh and blood but against the wiles of the devil.

Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places.” (Amplified)

Therefore, fighting for our children in the Spirit is required of all parents. That means release to God for the salvation of their souls. The spirit of rejection has a grip on their souls when they don’t agree with your righteous stand of them going against God. In today’s culture of “anything and everything goes”, taking a stand for righteousness puts spiritual battle directly in our laps. We are called to the front lines.

Yes, the victory has already been won. Doesn’t mean the enemy isn’t trying to steal, kill and destroy our children and families. We need to pray our children through the hard times when they have hardened their hearts against God. Our battle is prayer, speaking the Word over their lives, and trusting God knowing in our hearts, souls, and minds that He is faithful to those who love and trust Him. No one is too far gone that God is unable and unwilling to save. Jesus died on the Cross for this very reason.

 

John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

    We should listen to the voice of Jesus – not the accusing tongue of another man.

    Poem – Looking forward (Rocky)

    Jesus never calls us out
    For what we used to be.
    His voice is so much greater
    Than paul the Pharisee.

    “You are Simon son of John”
    said Jesus, without elaboration.
    No mention of a cloudy past
    No hint of condemnation.

    No accusation against the brothers
    No comments dark and obscure,
    Writing to the Church in Corinth
    “that is what some of you were.”

    Not the voice of the accuser,
    Boss Paul the Pharisee,
    Telling the redeemed people of God
    About what they used to be.

    Jesus never said right is wrong,
    He never said wrong is right.
    He came so we can turn from darkness
    And into His glorious light.

    “Neither do I condemn you” said Jesus,
    to a woman entrapped by dogs.
    The game the dogs play is the same today,
    Except now they do it on blogs.

    “Go and sin no more” said Jesus,
    Don’t relive that history.
    Look forward, not back, don’t dwell on your past.
    “You will be called” Rocky.

        Great! And if we want to have glorious impact for Jesus, we should know what is most important to HIM in His own words. No, it’s not “Love” without God – that was the Beatles, Paul and other men.
        Blessings to you in the name of Jesus.

        Poem – What is love?

        Two men came to Jesus
        With different motivations.
        They asked Him the same question
        Relevant to all the nations:

        Which is the Most Important?
        The answer was the same.
        Jesus did not manipulate
        He was not there to play a game.

        “Love the Lord your God” said Jesus
        as He quoted from The Law –
        to fulfill and not abolish
        was His purpose, full of awe.

        Jesus did not make all Scripture
        Into one new great commandment.
        He summarized The Law and Prophets
        “First and Greatest” and “The Second.”

        The Love of God is higher
        Than the love of any man.
        Receive from God, give back to God-
        Then to others, that’s His plan.

        The Love of God involves much more
        Than simply “love your fellow man.”
        Worship, trust, and pray to God,
        and obey Him – that’s His plan

        To worship and pray to neighbors,
        Whoever they may be,
        Or trust and obey our enemies
        Would be idolatry.

        The love of God is first and greatest,
        And the love of man is second.
        “All we need is love” are words
        of dead Beetles on the pavement.

        “The entire law is summed up in a single command”
        are not the words of Jesus our Salvation.
        It’s false teaching of Paul the Pharisee
        an “accuser of our brethren.”

        “Love” without God is Satan’s word through Paul
        in his chapter to the Corinthians.
        “I will show you the most excellent way”
        is the road to eternal perdition.

        Where is God in Paul’s chapter on love?
        Nowhere in view of the eye.
        Paul sings about himself like a Mexican Mariachi
        “I, I, I, I.”

        Jesus is The Most Excellent Way
        Not the words of a Pharisee.
        The words of Jesus are very clear.
        Jesus said, “You must follow ME.”

        More words from Jesus. For glorious impact.

        Looking forward – Chapter 2

        “I am he who searches hearts and minds”
        says the Risen Jesus Christ
        “Repent and do what you did at first”
        Don’t be lazy since He paid the price

        Yes, Jesus sees our sins today
        Don’t think that He is blind
        But the words of paul the Pharisee
        Will put you in a bind

        Jesus washed away your sins
        Don’t listen to paul the accuser
        paul abandoned the Church in Corinth
        And then paul became an abuser

        When you put your trust in Jesus
        Yes, your stains were white as snow
        You didn’t need to wear a Scarlet Letter
        Everywhere you go

        “I will repay each of you
        According to your deeds”
        This is Jesus speaking to The Church
        Not a business selling felt needs

        For “those who claim to be apostles”
        Jesus said they must be “tested”
        Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos
        Persevered and were not bested

        They exposed the false teachings
        Of paul the Pharisee
        So the Church in Ephesus rejected paul
        And had a chance to be free

        Bibliography
        All quotes are the words of Jesus, in Revelation Chapter 2

        For the most glorious impact, we should listen to…..

        The message of The 11 (“The narrow gate”)

        “The eleven disciples went to Galilee”
        “Where Jesus had told them to go”
        They heard His voice and obeyed His will
        Despite uncertainty down below

        Jesus spoke to them at length
        He wasn’t really a Tweeter
        Only 3 of them wrote Scripture
        Matthew John and Peter

        “Feed my sheep” said Jesus, for though
        “Heaven and earth will pass away”
        I have the words of eternal life and
        “My words will never pass away”

        “Enter through the narrow gate”
        The voice of Jesus through the eleven
        Believe in Jesus “through their message”
        And “eat from the tree of life” in heaven

        Jesus commissioned the eleven
        With “everything I have commanded you”
        “Teaching THEM to obey” Jesus
        And “THEM” means me and you !

        “The command given by our Lord and Savior”
        Is not a Pharisee speaking alone
        It came rather “through your apostles”
        Matthew Peter and John

        If a Pharisee boasts proudly
        Those men added nothing to my message
        He doesn’t speak for Jesus
        His words are nothing more than garbage

        Bibliography
        All “quotes” in “quotation marks” are from the writings of the Apostles Matthew John and Peter in the Bible, mostly the “Red Letter” words of Jesus. [Matthew, John, Revelation, 2 Peter – NIV]
