Sunday Morning Service 17 th December 17 at St Mary's Faith working through love. Children's short talk The Christmas Cracker Several children and one adult helped to pull the cracker. Inside the cracker were three items: the joke, the gift and the crown. The joke or puzzle: Who was the best comedian in the Bible? The answer: Samson he brought the house down. Other Christmas cracker jokes were distributed among the congregation and read out. The gift – baby Jesus.
During the run up to Christmas we look for the perfect gift for a friend or family member. We want it to reflect how much we think about them and that it suits their need and will last, not put away in a drawer and forgotten about. God has given to the world, the perfect gift of Jesus, he comes with God's promise, those who believe that he is God's Son will be welcomed into the family of God. Through faith working through love, God has given us Jesus out of His love for us and He has met our need in our receiving God's love, love that will last forever. The crown The crown represents a royal ‘diadema' crown, a crown for a king.
The wise men who came to Jerusalem to Herod's palace, asked, 'Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? Jesus was born a king, he wasn't made a king by the people. Matthew 2: 2. Sermon Luke 1: 26-38 Two weeks ago I stayed for a weekend at Holly Bush Farm, the place in Yorkshire where there was a revival in the 1980's and 90's Every Friday night they have visiting speakers and I heard Tom Billingham's testimony: 'When he was at school he was bullied because of his size, at 16 years he attempted to take his own life. When he started work it helped, but he had continuing mental health problems. A few years later while he was working at a food bank, he shared his problems with a Christian lady, who said to him, 'You need Jesus,' and he replied flippantly, 'You need medication.' However, he agreed to go to church, but it took him three months to actually go. He said that it was not what he expected, and left that morning thinking' I want what they have'.
A few days later in the afternoon at 3pm he was about to cross the road, when he heard a voice at the side of him say, 'Don't cross the road,' a few seconds later a crash happened in front of him. He broke down in tears, he saw the man who had spoken to him, he believed he was an angel, the incident changed his life, he has found his Saviour.' I wondered if Archangel Gabriel's appearance was like Tom's angel, and looked like an ordinary man.
I thought this because his greeting troubled Mary, his words puzzled her, and his message regarding having a baby boy must have come as a shock. Mary's overriding thoughts were not on his lineage and God's plan for the child. Without hesitation she asked who the father would be? Gabriel revealed to her that he would be God's Son.
I think Mary questioning Gabriel, showed why God chose her, she was discerning, she had integrity towards Joseph, but her faith in God was more important to her, so Mary's priority was to do God's will verse 38 'Let it be to me according to your word.' Joseph probably thought at first that Mary was crackers to believe that God would Father a child, and like the cracker they found themselves pulling in opposite directions until one side gave way. God spoke to Joseph in a dream telling him to have faith and believe that the child was God's Son and to call him Jesus. In the cracker we had a puzzling word.
Called by God to fulfil His purposes – mission in our community God has called us to do something for him, we look for confirmation Mary checked out Gabriel's word, she went with haste to the home of Zechariah and Elizabeth and found that it was true, Elizabeth in her old age was six months pregnant. Mary stayed with them for 3 months and then returned home Paul writes, 'That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.! Corinthians 2: 5. Confirmation from God either through a word of scripture or through sharing and praying with other Christians God's will be done in our lives by stepping out in faith. 'A work of faith and a labour of love' 1 Thessalonians 1: 3 Faith is like when one day we will be asked to get into a car driven by a computer.
How hard that will be to put our trust in a computer when the roads are so busy. Many Christians would describe their relationship with Jesus like he is in the driving seat of their life. It's by stepping out in faith we become dependant upon God, for Him to open up opportunities and to answer prayers.
At the job Club we are dependant on God to send people to us. This year we've had a gentle flow of people looking for help with CV's etc God has opened up opportunities for referrals from Rossendale CAP Debt Centre Answered prayer has meant a change in my link person at Job Centre Plus, so now I've been asked to go into the centre, and talk to Job-seekers about the Tuesday morning Job Club. The gift of Jesus comes with God's promise, those who believe that he is God's Son will be welcomed into the family of God. 2 Corinthians 6: 18 'And I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters says the Lord God Almighty.' It's by faith we receive Jesus into our heart. 'Faith working through love.' Galatians 5: 6 John's Baptism was in preparation for the establishing of the throne of King David by the Messiah.
Jesus' Baptism is about receiving Jesus into our heart by faith through repentance. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin in our lives and so by acknowledging that we need to get right with God. God graciously forgives us our sins against Him. And then pours out His Spirit of love into our hearts. Paul wrote that love is the Spirit that binds believers together and also that we continue to grow in faith and love.
Paul wrote in his witness to Timothy, 'And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.' 1 Timothy 1: 4 The crown that Jesus would have worn on earth was the ‘Diadema' crown a royal crown that of a King. On the cross the Romans nailed on a board, ‘The King of the Jews' in their mockery they had wrote exactly the truth. Archangel Gabriel's word to Mary. 'The Lord would give him the throne of his father David.' The crown is the icing on the cake, for us it's the victors' crown, the ‘Stephanos' crown. 'A crown of love and compassion.' Psalm 103: 4 Through faith in God's word and acting upon it, the church can change our society, by people in the world wanting what we have in Jesus, we can win the fight over the devil and build a stronger church that will be heard in our land. ADVENT Week 2 Isaiah 42: 1-9 Matthew 1: 18 – 25. Greggs' Advent Calendar has offended a lot of Christians preparing for Christmas.
The Independent Newspaper wrote, 'Greggs says sorry for replacing baby Jesus with a sausage roll in nativity scene for Christmas ad campaign' The stunt was apparently meant to be taken in a light-hearted way but numerous people pointed out that the ‘fresh take' on the 2,000-year old scene could cause offence because Jesus was Jewish and eating pork is forbidden in the Jewish faith.' This picture should be in an art gallery.' Apology accepted. The world view looks at the Nativity with natural eyes, and can't see the Biblical view. John wrote, 'They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world and the world listens to them.' 1 John 4: 5 The world view of Christmas for many people means parties, food and presents. In preparing for Christmas the TV ad tells us a time for renewing the sofa or meeting up with family and friends and eat drink and be merry. Morrison's ad the children are singing a carol and broke off not completing the word Beth— and in another carol broke off mid sentence avoiding singing certain words.

The media; like our local paper the ‘Free Press' the front page news I find is always depressing, tragedy, sex and violence makes up the headline news. The TV soap story line is supposed to reflect what's going on in society; there seem to be more gays than straight people. Analysts say that this world view is across our society, ‘our collective experience' it has become reality as people see it. The media; TV news and most programmes give us world views and values and exclude the true meaning of Christmas.
Whereas, the Biblical view celebrates the birth of Jesus the coming of the Saviour of the world. ‘Facebook Nativity' is making Jesus birth known in social media, sowing seeds of faith. The world is still challenged by the good news of Jesus' birth, Isaiah's prophecy regarding the virgin birth has been fulfilled: – Mary conceived without her flesh being touched.
It's like when God heals the body without touching it. Geff at the Job Club described the virgin birth like the a lemon being squeezed and someone standing near tasting the flavour in their mouth. Godly man Joseph, in our reading when he found out that Mary was pregnant, he naturally didn't believe that God was the father, His response indicates that he slipped back into the world view, he was going to break off their engagement. God by grace gave Joseph a dream convinced him that God was the father and so his faith was strengthened. By faith and grace Mary and Joseph saw the fulfilment of the coming of the Saviour into the world Faith comes from God.
Faith is the things hoped for that are not yet seen. Faith is in action when a child sends a letter off to Santa with their gift request and they expect Santa to answer in getting what they have asked for. The Bible says it's by faith we accept Jesus, faith that is common to all, so that anyone can receive Jesus as their Saviour. ' But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach); 9 because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved.' Romans 10: 8-10 RSV Bible Why do we need to be saved?
The Bible tells us through the Old Testament prophets and Jesus that those who die outside of faith will be in a place of eternal torment and complete darkness separated from God. It's like having a severe depression and feel that you are living in hell, only it will be worse. Malachi 4: 1. Luke 16: 19-31. The Bible prophesies that there will be a new heaven and a new earth and for future generations as the planet suffers from pollution it will seem the inevitable it will happen the world dissolved by fire. Isaiah 65: 17: 2 Peter 3: 12, 13. The hope we have entered into after receiving Jesus as Saviour and Lord, speaks for itself.
One experience is worth a thousand arguments. The reality of making a decision to become a Christian 35 years ago has meant that I have been healed of illness and I have a strong faith built on personal blessings and seeing changes to people's lives that have blessed them. God's purpose for us is to act on faith and grace. When we share the good news about Jesus we expect God to act and ignite that person's faith to become a believer in Jesus. God in most cases has already been preparing that person to receive the Lord's saving words. Two weeks ago a young man was sharing with me the change in his life after he went forward to be prayed for at Barry Woodward's event in October, the Holy Spirit has revealed Jesus to him.
Ephesians 2: 8 'For by grace you have been saved through faith: this is not your own doing it is the gift of God.' and Ephesians 3: 17 'That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.' God has created us to have this special ingredient in our makeup ‘Faith' so faith is common in all humanity so that anyone can receive Jesus as their Saviour. We remember we are partners with the Trinity: God is preparing people's hearts to receive the word, the seeds of faith, sown on ‘Facebook Nativity', Wayside Pulpits, Buses and from us and the Holy Spirit is acting upon the words. Prayer Almighty God and Father, thank you for Jesus, thank you for your love reaching out to save us from eternal death and darkness. May all those who respond in faith to the good news this Christmas be embraced into the family of God and find a sure hope in God. In Jesus' name. Christians Together Haslingden 24th November 2017 God's wisdom is hidden in the cross and revealed to us as we enter into the benefits of Jesus' passion.
As a result of my encounter with the Holy Spirit, and the cross, he has brought me into a fresh study of the various aspects of the cross: Isaiah used one of the titles of the Christ, Jesus the ‘Branch' coming from the root of Jesse's stump. The redemption through his dying to sin and its causes From the curses put on man and the woman after they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Healing at the cross.
Dying to self and for today this reading in Paul's letter to the Corinthians. 1 Corinthians 1: 18 – 31 'For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.' 1 Corinthians 1: 18 The wisdom of the world sees the death of Jesus on the cross as punishment for wrongdoing, public humiliation, shame, fraud, and a painful death. The world's wisdom fails to believe that God has reconciled us to himself through Jesus' death on the cross and in his resurrection three days later, it is folly. Folly – lack of good sense, madness, stupidity, foolish action, without understanding. Hidden from worldly view in Jesus' death on the cross is God's wisdom. We can only access the cross through faith in Jesus. Worldly wisdom produces in people both good things and bad things: good things like scientists have discovered how laws work governing the universe nuclear energy was used to enable the Rosetta spaceship it to increase its speed so as not to be pulled by gravity into the orbit of a planet before it reached its destination, it took the 10 years to reach the meteor.
The achievement was described as like ‘a fly landing on a speeding bullet'. World health programmes that are beneficial to the poor countries saving thousands of lives, and bad things, nations are spending millions on weapons of destruction and the foolishness of the world's wisdom in disposing of plastic waste into the sea is causing it to gather together on the surface creating plastic islands on the sea. Both good and bad aspects are coming from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In Romans 5: 12.
'Sin entered into the world through one man and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all had sinned.' Bob Gordon in his book 'The Cross' writes, 'When God created man, did he create mankind to be mortal-that is, subject to death? The answer is clearly, no Jesus himself was not subject to man's death until he took mankind's sin into himself, because death is the outcome of sin. Jesus himself was not sinful, therefore, he did not live his life under the threat of death. Bob continues, 'Charles Wesley writes with tremendous spiritual insight when he proclaims the depth of this: ‘Tis mystery all! The immortal dies: who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine.'' Clearly Bob has resonated with Charles Wesley the fact that Jesus was immortal in all purity and holiness blameless and without sin, he willingly took our sin in himself and became sin and he paid the penalty of his life laid down, to redeem humanity from sin. Romans 8: 11 'If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give you life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.' Our immortality is in the cross, we enter and dwell in our immortality, we are in the family of God.
Set free, no condemnation as sin has no more dominion over us. 'No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine.' Charles Wesley 'And can it be.' Our Point of need –is to see God's wisdom in his saving power of Jesus on the cross Prayer – Open my eyes Lord, to what Jesus has done for me on the cross to make me right with God, I've done good things and bad things, but I know even if the good outweighs the bad, it won't make me right with God.
I understand that I need to recognise that to be right with God I come to the foot of the cross and say sorry and ask the Lord's forgiveness. Please forgive me Lord for______________and all the sin that separated me from God. Jesus has died in my place to satisfy your holiness, and now I believe that everything bad thing has been taken from me and I thank you Lord. In Jesus' name Amen. In the Church of England Common Prayer Book it says we are blessed with all the benefits of his passion. On the cross Jesus suffered and bore our suffering. 'When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.' John 19: 25-27 From the cross Jesus spoke to his mother, Mary must have been devastated, in bits and Jesus comforted and counselled her Mary was deeply hurt and no doubt her sister and John, Mary Magdalene were there supporting Jesus and Mary.

But Jesus wasn't silent he asked John to become his mother's son, for Mary to adopt John as her son. Again in Paul's letter to the Romans he wrote that Gentiles have been adopted into the family of God, God is our Father.
Romans 8: 23. We are blessed with the Father's devotion and love towards us as his adopted children. The Holy Spirit working with Father God and Jesus, who only wants the best for us, if we suffer then we can be assured that the Father has allowed it for his reasons and purposes.
Point of need – Through the cross we discover our relationship with God, we are his children. Prayer Heavenly Father, thank you for your Fatherly love, you searched for me until you found me and changed my rebellious nature to be like yours, the things that used to pleased me no-longer satisfy my longings, I want only to please you and walk with you. In Jesus Christ my Lord God's name.
Amen Unity in the Cross In Paul's letter to the Ephesians he wrote that Gentiles had no covenants with God, but in Christ, the cross has united Jew and Gentile as one new man, so making peace and both have access in one Spirit to the Father. The cross is an integral part of God's plan to unite Jew and Gentile. The church the body of Christ has been given the task of making Christ known as the Saviour who was promised to the Jews, the Messiah. ( Added afterwards: For centuries the Jews were accused by Christians of killing their Messiah.
However, this was part of God's plan that the Messiah would suffer and be killed on a cross. The Jews acted in ignorance, otherwise they would have not allowed their Messiah to die, they were taught from the law that when the Messiah came he would live for ever. ‘The Messiah's Secret') The Lord gives us his Spirit, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit to bless other Christians and for us to embrace the lost.
Point of need – The Holy Spirit's ministry. Actively uniting people through the cross. Prayer Thank you Jesus, for bringing Gentiles into the New Covenant, so that we are one family in God, It is such a privilege to be part of God's plan, built upon the faith of people like Abraham and Sarah, the shepherd David and the prophets like Isaiah and Daniel. Thank you for Jesus being the fulfilment of the promises of God The Lord would provide a Saviour and in him all the nations would be blessed. Thank you for the faithfulness of Jesus' disciples and the early church. Disco elysium - soundtrack and artbooklet crack.
Help me to be faithful in my witness. In Jesus' name. Mary stood at the cross would remember Simeon's words. 'A sword shall pierce your heart,' it became her experience heartbreak and suffering As we journey with Jesus we find ourselves suffering, whether it's in bereavement or when we have been hurt by others, we bring our deep hurts to the cross and know that Jesus cares for us, as he cared for and bore his mother's suffering. He will lighten our load help us work through them and very often heal through repentance.
When we take up our Cross and lose our earthly life, we enter into these victories and many more that Jesus has given to us, we gain an abundance of life. The Reflection of the Cross – Encountering the Holy Spirit No 4 Evening Service at St Mary's Acts 2: 1-18 Luke 3: 15-23. My husband and I where on a walking holiday at Scargill House in Yorkshire. There we met John he had come for an interview to become a member of the Scargill community. In conversation with him he shared with me his testimony. He had been a drug addict and his life was in a mess. He said that he spent a lot of time in his room at home where most of the time he was high on drugs.
On this particular day he was in his room, when for no particular reason he picked up his grandmother's Bible, it fell open and he read the words, 'Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.' Matthew 10: 39 John encountered the Holy Spirit He said, 'It was like someone breaking down the door of his bedroom, releasing him into freedom. Canon Lbp 3200 Драйвер Windows 8 more. ' He went on to say that as a result of his meeting with Jesus he made a cross from part of their garden fence and he carried it from Liverpool to London, camping on the way. When people asked him why was he carrying a cross? He told them what Jesus had done for him. He was set free from the drug addiction that had bound him. I've no doubt that his grandmother's prayers had been answered. A deeper in-site into the cross reveals that every aspect of our relationship with God and the example of Jesus' humility working out in our faith. ' He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.' Matthew 8:17.
Matthew writing his gospel after the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus relates Isaiah's words with Jesus' healing ministry, 'He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.' 'When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17 This was to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: 'He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.' Matthew 8: 16,17. Matthew the disciple is telling the reader of his gospel that Jesus healed all manner of sickness in his ministry and Jesus took up our infirmities and bore our diseases on the cross, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy. Jesus, 'He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten (beaten) 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: 4, 5. Matthew in his humility, under the discipline of the Holy Spirit didn't include an up to date account of what God was doing in his life in the healing ministry, but he pointed us to the prophecy of Isaiah being fulfilled.
Jesus healed people of all kinds of ailments: blind, deaf and dumb, paralysed, arthritis, leprosy and many more accounts of various illnesses and raising people from the dead, and like Lazarus to resume his life on the earth. These were signs that the Kingdom of God was among them. Jesus was born into this world as one of us, in his humanity he encountered in his ministry these infirmities and diseases in order to bear them on the cross and as a result destroy completely the work of the enemy, a finished work.
John the apostle wrote 'The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of darkness? Jesus' suffering 'By his wounds we are healed.' Within a few hours this perfect body of Jesus in excellent health was reduced to a physical wreck by what he suffered. Jesus was scourged, a whip with cords, at the end of each cord a sharp piece of bone or metal, designed by the Romans to tear the flesh down to the bone. Jesus suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane deep spiritual agony and after his arrest, and trial, he endured physical suffering and finally the excruciating pain of crucifixion. Jesus was subjected to being arrested and taken for trial to the home of the high priest Caiaphas where the scribes and elders had gathered.
Witnesses spoke against him, but Jesus said nothing. 'Jesus was asked by the high priest, 'I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God?' Jesus replied, 'You have said so, but I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.' The high priest tore his robes and said, 'He has uttered blasphemy... What is your judgement? They answered he deserves death,' then they spat in his face, and struck him and some slapped him.' Matthew 26: 57-68. Jesus was accused of blasphemy of being the Christ, the King of the Jews.
He was taken in the morning for trial before Pilate the Roman governor. Pilate was unable to find fault in Jesus, so, he handed him over to the crowd to make a decision for him, they shouted ‘crucify him.' Jesus was scourged, during which he was beaten, and his body disfigured. The film ‘The Passion' gives us graphic details of the results of the scourge on human flesh. It was designed to tear the flesh down to the bone.
His beard was torn out and a crown of thorns was placed on his head and a purple robe was put upon him by the soldiers as a gesture of mockery at his claim to be a king. The soldiers mocked, spat at him, and beat him with reeds (sticks) he was verbally abused. His facial expression must have shown the pain he was suffering. Matthew 27: 15-18, 26-31.
The cross is where Jesus took the whole of our sicknesses, diseases and sin in his being on the cross and as a result of the condemnation of our righteous God. When he drew near to death Jesus cried out, 'My God, my God why have you forsaken me.' The Bible reveals that God cannot and will not uphold sin, Sin separated Jesus from God his Father and so he died. The cross bore Jesus' body and all sin against God and creation. The pain in his body plus the spiritual weight of evil, crushed his soul and extinguished his life. But his death was not the end of his life, God raised Jesus up from the grave, giving his body new life, eternal life.
It was a finished work, in his resurrected body the marks of the nails identified him as being the risen Jesus. Point of need – Jesus heals our relationship with God our Father. The wonderful selfless act of Jesus through bearing and redeeming us from sin is that we too must be able to forgive those who have wronged us.
These wounds, the results of past sins are healed as we forgive as we have been forgiven by God. The cross is the meeting place between every person and God. There we find Jesus has paid the penalty for all our wrongdoings and bore our infirmities and sicknesses on the tree. Humbly we approach the cross and acknowledging that we need to be right with God we say sorry to God and ask him to forgive us, we repent and God in His love forgives our sin, and by the action and grace of the Holy Spirit we become children of God. Prayer Jesus, I ask for your forgiveness for my sins against God and others. Thank you for taking my sin upon yourself on the cross, for all that you suffered, I am really sorry, I accept the sovereignty of God over my life, take all that I have it is yours. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.
Dying to self Peter wrote, 'He himself bore our sins on the tree that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds we have been healed.' 1 Peter 2: 24.
Peter was saying in this verse that having been forgiven, so we should continually die to sin, especially to the sin that resurrects the old self, looking to our self, putting our faith in our own ability to do what we think is God's will for us, but as Jesus found out for himself our humanity is bound in fear, and self-preservation. Jesus is our example there in the Garden of Gethsemane he emptied himself of self to live determining his own life and he died to the sin of humanities fallen nature that looks to self interests and determining our own destiny. We read he prayed to his Father saying, 'Father if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you wilt.' He prayed a second time, 'My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done.' Jesus died to the sin of pride that seeks to look to self, and for self to dominate a person's life, he chose the cup of suffering, the way of the cross. Matthew 26: 39, 42. Winrar for windows 8 64 bit with crack filehippo. For us, dying to self is to turn to the cross and know that in Jesus I have died to sin, and therefore, I live according to the conviction of the Holy Spirit as to how God feels about sin. Being spiritually raised up to a new life, means the lord has transformed my nature to his righteous nature and the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin that is in the world. Being raised up becomes our experience to know we are with Christ in Spirit, ascended with Jesus into God's kingdom.
'If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give you life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.' Romans 8: 11 The difference between human and mortal. Bob Gordon in his book 'The Cross' writes, 'The difference between human and mortal. Part of the problem is that we don't stop to consider the real meaning of the words we use. These two words are terms which we often confuse with each other.
To be human, as far as we are concerned, is to be mortal. But is that the truth as far as God is concerned? When God created man, did he create mankind to be mortal-that is, subject to death? The answer is clearly, no. Both the book of Genesis and the Epistle to the Romans are explicit as to the source of death. Genesis 2: 22 makes it clear that God expelled man from the garden to prevent him from eating from the tree of life by which he could live forever.

From this point on, no man became subject to death as a judgement from God. Paul is very explicit on the subject when he writes to the Romans.
'Sin entered into the world through one man and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all had sinned.' Romans 5: 12. Bob Gordon goes on to write, Jesus himself was not subject to man's death until he took mankind's sin into himself, because death is the outcome of sin. Jesus himself was not sinful, therefore, he did not live his life under the threat of death as a necessary outcome of sin. Jesus himself made his position clear in this regard. He was the only man who ever lived who had the authority of life in him: ' For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father.' John 10: 17,18. Bob continues: Charles Wesley writes with tremendous spiritual insight when he proclaims the depth of this: ‘Tis mystery all! The immortal dies: who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine.'' Clearly Bob has resonated with Charles Wesley the fact that Jesus was immortal in all purity and holiness blameless and without sin, he willingly took sin upon himself and became sin to be able to redeem humanity from sin. Point of need – His righteousness is to be faithful to do the will of God and not the will of self.
Faith is about being willing always to seek and to do God's will first and foremost in our life, to be dependent upon God knowing that He only wants to bless us and what is best for us and for others. Prayer Thank you lord, for the new life that I have in Christ's risen body, his victory over the sins of the flesh that Jesus achieved for me on the cross. He has conquered death, doing for me what I could not do for myself, only God could transform my fallen nature and save me from eternal separation from God. In Jesus' name. Learning to live in the power of the cross. When suffering comes to us, we grow closer to God in our dependence upon Him. This is where our strength lies, Jesus energies our spirit.
I find that I'm comforted and strengthened by His word, but what also strengthens me is when the Lord acts upon faith in His word. I believe that I can put my trust in His word; I have found out that God keeps His word.
Colossians 1: 29. When we pray believing, we are giving God the opportunity to act on our behalf. When we pray what seems to be an impossible request, it's answered. Jesus has enabled us to live in God's kingdom, through bearing our sin, sickness and disease that lead to his death on the cross.
By his wounds we have been healed for all eternity. Sickness in our lifetime is not transferable into the eternal kingdom of God when we die; therefore, the cross has brought us everlasting peace. Nothing can separate us from the love of God; our lives are hidden in Christ. Reflection of the CROSS – No 2 Jesus ‘The Branch' The Cross – Nothing can shake loose or break the victory that Jesus achieved in his death on the cross. Only once have I experienced locally a minor earthquake, it was about 7.30am I woke up hearing a rumbling sound rolling towards the house coming down the lane, the house gently shook, we hardly felt it and it continued on past the house. I visualise in my mind what the scene was like in Jerusalem on the afternoon of the day of Jesus' crucifixion. At the sixth hour the light began to fade, the birds stopped singing and a chilling wind filled the air.
Jesus' Baptism is about receiving Jesus into our heart by faith through repentance. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin in our lives and so by acknowledging that we need to get right with God. God graciously forgives us our sins against Him. And then pours out His Spirit of love into our hearts. Paul wrote that love is the Spirit that binds believers together and also that we continue to grow in faith and love.
Paul wrote in his witness to Timothy, 'And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.' 1 Timothy 1: 4 The crown that Jesus would have worn on earth was the ‘Diadema' crown a royal crown that of a King. On the cross the Romans nailed on a board, ‘The King of the Jews' in their mockery they had wrote exactly the truth. Archangel Gabriel's word to Mary. 'The Lord would give him the throne of his father David.' The crown is the icing on the cake, for us it's the victors' crown, the ‘Stephanos' crown. 'A crown of love and compassion.' Psalm 103: 4 Through faith in God's word and acting upon it, the church can change our society, by people in the world wanting what we have in Jesus, we can win the fight over the devil and build a stronger church that will be heard in our land. ADVENT Week 2 Isaiah 42: 1-9 Matthew 1: 18 – 25. Greggs' Advent Calendar has offended a lot of Christians preparing for Christmas.
The Independent Newspaper wrote, 'Greggs says sorry for replacing baby Jesus with a sausage roll in nativity scene for Christmas ad campaign' The stunt was apparently meant to be taken in a light-hearted way but numerous people pointed out that the ‘fresh take' on the 2,000-year old scene could cause offence because Jesus was Jewish and eating pork is forbidden in the Jewish faith.' This picture should be in an art gallery.' Apology accepted. The world view looks at the Nativity with natural eyes, and can't see the Biblical view. John wrote, 'They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world and the world listens to them.' 1 John 4: 5 The world view of Christmas for many people means parties, food and presents. In preparing for Christmas the TV ad tells us a time for renewing the sofa or meeting up with family and friends and eat drink and be merry. Morrison's ad the children are singing a carol and broke off not completing the word Beth— and in another carol broke off mid sentence avoiding singing certain words.

The media; like our local paper the ‘Free Press' the front page news I find is always depressing, tragedy, sex and violence makes up the headline news. The TV soap story line is supposed to reflect what's going on in society; there seem to be more gays than straight people. Analysts say that this world view is across our society, ‘our collective experience' it has become reality as people see it. The media; TV news and most programmes give us world views and values and exclude the true meaning of Christmas.
Whereas, the Biblical view celebrates the birth of Jesus the coming of the Saviour of the world. ‘Facebook Nativity' is making Jesus birth known in social media, sowing seeds of faith. The world is still challenged by the good news of Jesus' birth, Isaiah's prophecy regarding the virgin birth has been fulfilled: – Mary conceived without her flesh being touched.
It's like when God heals the body without touching it. Geff at the Job Club described the virgin birth like the a lemon being squeezed and someone standing near tasting the flavour in their mouth. Godly man Joseph, in our reading when he found out that Mary was pregnant, he naturally didn't believe that God was the father, His response indicates that he slipped back into the world view, he was going to break off their engagement. God by grace gave Joseph a dream convinced him that God was the father and so his faith was strengthened. By faith and grace Mary and Joseph saw the fulfilment of the coming of the Saviour into the world Faith comes from God.
Faith is the things hoped for that are not yet seen. Faith is in action when a child sends a letter off to Santa with their gift request and they expect Santa to answer in getting what they have asked for. The Bible says it's by faith we accept Jesus, faith that is common to all, so that anyone can receive Jesus as their Saviour. ' But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach); 9 because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved.' Romans 10: 8-10 RSV Bible Why do we need to be saved?
The Bible tells us through the Old Testament prophets and Jesus that those who die outside of faith will be in a place of eternal torment and complete darkness separated from God. It's like having a severe depression and feel that you are living in hell, only it will be worse. Malachi 4: 1. Luke 16: 19-31. The Bible prophesies that there will be a new heaven and a new earth and for future generations as the planet suffers from pollution it will seem the inevitable it will happen the world dissolved by fire. Isaiah 65: 17: 2 Peter 3: 12, 13. The hope we have entered into after receiving Jesus as Saviour and Lord, speaks for itself.
One experience is worth a thousand arguments. The reality of making a decision to become a Christian 35 years ago has meant that I have been healed of illness and I have a strong faith built on personal blessings and seeing changes to people's lives that have blessed them. God's purpose for us is to act on faith and grace. When we share the good news about Jesus we expect God to act and ignite that person's faith to become a believer in Jesus. God in most cases has already been preparing that person to receive the Lord's saving words. Two weeks ago a young man was sharing with me the change in his life after he went forward to be prayed for at Barry Woodward's event in October, the Holy Spirit has revealed Jesus to him.
Ephesians 2: 8 'For by grace you have been saved through faith: this is not your own doing it is the gift of God.' and Ephesians 3: 17 'That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.' God has created us to have this special ingredient in our makeup ‘Faith' so faith is common in all humanity so that anyone can receive Jesus as their Saviour. We remember we are partners with the Trinity: God is preparing people's hearts to receive the word, the seeds of faith, sown on ‘Facebook Nativity', Wayside Pulpits, Buses and from us and the Holy Spirit is acting upon the words. Prayer Almighty God and Father, thank you for Jesus, thank you for your love reaching out to save us from eternal death and darkness. May all those who respond in faith to the good news this Christmas be embraced into the family of God and find a sure hope in God. In Jesus' name. Christians Together Haslingden 24th November 2017 God's wisdom is hidden in the cross and revealed to us as we enter into the benefits of Jesus' passion.
As a result of my encounter with the Holy Spirit, and the cross, he has brought me into a fresh study of the various aspects of the cross: Isaiah used one of the titles of the Christ, Jesus the ‘Branch' coming from the root of Jesse's stump. The redemption through his dying to sin and its causes From the curses put on man and the woman after they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Healing at the cross.
Dying to self and for today this reading in Paul's letter to the Corinthians. 1 Corinthians 1: 18 – 31 'For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.' 1 Corinthians 1: 18 The wisdom of the world sees the death of Jesus on the cross as punishment for wrongdoing, public humiliation, shame, fraud, and a painful death. The world's wisdom fails to believe that God has reconciled us to himself through Jesus' death on the cross and in his resurrection three days later, it is folly. Folly – lack of good sense, madness, stupidity, foolish action, without understanding. Hidden from worldly view in Jesus' death on the cross is God's wisdom. We can only access the cross through faith in Jesus. Worldly wisdom produces in people both good things and bad things: good things like scientists have discovered how laws work governing the universe nuclear energy was used to enable the Rosetta spaceship it to increase its speed so as not to be pulled by gravity into the orbit of a planet before it reached its destination, it took the 10 years to reach the meteor.
The achievement was described as like ‘a fly landing on a speeding bullet'. World health programmes that are beneficial to the poor countries saving thousands of lives, and bad things, nations are spending millions on weapons of destruction and the foolishness of the world's wisdom in disposing of plastic waste into the sea is causing it to gather together on the surface creating plastic islands on the sea. Both good and bad aspects are coming from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In Romans 5: 12.
'Sin entered into the world through one man and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all had sinned.' Bob Gordon in his book 'The Cross' writes, 'When God created man, did he create mankind to be mortal-that is, subject to death? The answer is clearly, no Jesus himself was not subject to man's death until he took mankind's sin into himself, because death is the outcome of sin. Jesus himself was not sinful, therefore, he did not live his life under the threat of death. Bob continues, 'Charles Wesley writes with tremendous spiritual insight when he proclaims the depth of this: ‘Tis mystery all! The immortal dies: who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine.'' Clearly Bob has resonated with Charles Wesley the fact that Jesus was immortal in all purity and holiness blameless and without sin, he willingly took our sin in himself and became sin and he paid the penalty of his life laid down, to redeem humanity from sin. Romans 8: 11 'If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give you life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.' Our immortality is in the cross, we enter and dwell in our immortality, we are in the family of God.
Set free, no condemnation as sin has no more dominion over us. 'No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine.' Charles Wesley 'And can it be.' Our Point of need –is to see God's wisdom in his saving power of Jesus on the cross Prayer – Open my eyes Lord, to what Jesus has done for me on the cross to make me right with God, I've done good things and bad things, but I know even if the good outweighs the bad, it won't make me right with God.
I understand that I need to recognise that to be right with God I come to the foot of the cross and say sorry and ask the Lord's forgiveness. Please forgive me Lord for______________and all the sin that separated me from God. Jesus has died in my place to satisfy your holiness, and now I believe that everything bad thing has been taken from me and I thank you Lord. In Jesus' name Amen. In the Church of England Common Prayer Book it says we are blessed with all the benefits of his passion. On the cross Jesus suffered and bore our suffering. 'When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.' John 19: 25-27 From the cross Jesus spoke to his mother, Mary must have been devastated, in bits and Jesus comforted and counselled her Mary was deeply hurt and no doubt her sister and John, Mary Magdalene were there supporting Jesus and Mary.
Fiery Sequence Impose Crack Cocaine Addiction
But Jesus wasn't silent he asked John to become his mother's son, for Mary to adopt John as her son. Again in Paul's letter to the Romans he wrote that Gentiles have been adopted into the family of God, God is our Father.
Romans 8: 23. We are blessed with the Father's devotion and love towards us as his adopted children. The Holy Spirit working with Father God and Jesus, who only wants the best for us, if we suffer then we can be assured that the Father has allowed it for his reasons and purposes.
Point of need – Through the cross we discover our relationship with God, we are his children. Prayer Heavenly Father, thank you for your Fatherly love, you searched for me until you found me and changed my rebellious nature to be like yours, the things that used to pleased me no-longer satisfy my longings, I want only to please you and walk with you. In Jesus Christ my Lord God's name.
Amen Unity in the Cross In Paul's letter to the Ephesians he wrote that Gentiles had no covenants with God, but in Christ, the cross has united Jew and Gentile as one new man, so making peace and both have access in one Spirit to the Father. The cross is an integral part of God's plan to unite Jew and Gentile. The church the body of Christ has been given the task of making Christ known as the Saviour who was promised to the Jews, the Messiah. ( Added afterwards: For centuries the Jews were accused by Christians of killing their Messiah.
However, this was part of God's plan that the Messiah would suffer and be killed on a cross. The Jews acted in ignorance, otherwise they would have not allowed their Messiah to die, they were taught from the law that when the Messiah came he would live for ever. ‘The Messiah's Secret') The Lord gives us his Spirit, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit to bless other Christians and for us to embrace the lost.
Point of need – The Holy Spirit's ministry. Actively uniting people through the cross. Prayer Thank you Jesus, for bringing Gentiles into the New Covenant, so that we are one family in God, It is such a privilege to be part of God's plan, built upon the faith of people like Abraham and Sarah, the shepherd David and the prophets like Isaiah and Daniel. Thank you for Jesus being the fulfilment of the promises of God The Lord would provide a Saviour and in him all the nations would be blessed. Thank you for the faithfulness of Jesus' disciples and the early church. Disco elysium - soundtrack and artbooklet crack.
Help me to be faithful in my witness. In Jesus' name. Mary stood at the cross would remember Simeon's words. 'A sword shall pierce your heart,' it became her experience heartbreak and suffering As we journey with Jesus we find ourselves suffering, whether it's in bereavement or when we have been hurt by others, we bring our deep hurts to the cross and know that Jesus cares for us, as he cared for and bore his mother's suffering. He will lighten our load help us work through them and very often heal through repentance.
When we take up our Cross and lose our earthly life, we enter into these victories and many more that Jesus has given to us, we gain an abundance of life. The Reflection of the Cross – Encountering the Holy Spirit No 4 Evening Service at St Mary's Acts 2: 1-18 Luke 3: 15-23. My husband and I where on a walking holiday at Scargill House in Yorkshire. There we met John he had come for an interview to become a member of the Scargill community. In conversation with him he shared with me his testimony. He had been a drug addict and his life was in a mess. He said that he spent a lot of time in his room at home where most of the time he was high on drugs.
On this particular day he was in his room, when for no particular reason he picked up his grandmother's Bible, it fell open and he read the words, 'Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.' Matthew 10: 39 John encountered the Holy Spirit He said, 'It was like someone breaking down the door of his bedroom, releasing him into freedom. Canon Lbp 3200 Драйвер Windows 8 more. ' He went on to say that as a result of his meeting with Jesus he made a cross from part of their garden fence and he carried it from Liverpool to London, camping on the way. When people asked him why was he carrying a cross? He told them what Jesus had done for him. He was set free from the drug addiction that had bound him. I've no doubt that his grandmother's prayers had been answered. A deeper in-site into the cross reveals that every aspect of our relationship with God and the example of Jesus' humility working out in our faith. ' He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.' Matthew 8:17.
Matthew writing his gospel after the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus relates Isaiah's words with Jesus' healing ministry, 'He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.' 'When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17 This was to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: 'He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.' Matthew 8: 16,17. Matthew the disciple is telling the reader of his gospel that Jesus healed all manner of sickness in his ministry and Jesus took up our infirmities and bore our diseases on the cross, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy. Jesus, 'He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten (beaten) 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: 4, 5. Matthew in his humility, under the discipline of the Holy Spirit didn't include an up to date account of what God was doing in his life in the healing ministry, but he pointed us to the prophecy of Isaiah being fulfilled.
Jesus healed people of all kinds of ailments: blind, deaf and dumb, paralysed, arthritis, leprosy and many more accounts of various illnesses and raising people from the dead, and like Lazarus to resume his life on the earth. These were signs that the Kingdom of God was among them. Jesus was born into this world as one of us, in his humanity he encountered in his ministry these infirmities and diseases in order to bear them on the cross and as a result destroy completely the work of the enemy, a finished work.
John the apostle wrote 'The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of darkness? Jesus' suffering 'By his wounds we are healed.' Within a few hours this perfect body of Jesus in excellent health was reduced to a physical wreck by what he suffered. Jesus was scourged, a whip with cords, at the end of each cord a sharp piece of bone or metal, designed by the Romans to tear the flesh down to the bone. Jesus suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane deep spiritual agony and after his arrest, and trial, he endured physical suffering and finally the excruciating pain of crucifixion. Jesus was subjected to being arrested and taken for trial to the home of the high priest Caiaphas where the scribes and elders had gathered.
Witnesses spoke against him, but Jesus said nothing. 'Jesus was asked by the high priest, 'I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God?' Jesus replied, 'You have said so, but I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.' The high priest tore his robes and said, 'He has uttered blasphemy... What is your judgement? They answered he deserves death,' then they spat in his face, and struck him and some slapped him.' Matthew 26: 57-68. Jesus was accused of blasphemy of being the Christ, the King of the Jews.
He was taken in the morning for trial before Pilate the Roman governor. Pilate was unable to find fault in Jesus, so, he handed him over to the crowd to make a decision for him, they shouted ‘crucify him.' Jesus was scourged, during which he was beaten, and his body disfigured. The film ‘The Passion' gives us graphic details of the results of the scourge on human flesh. It was designed to tear the flesh down to the bone.
His beard was torn out and a crown of thorns was placed on his head and a purple robe was put upon him by the soldiers as a gesture of mockery at his claim to be a king. The soldiers mocked, spat at him, and beat him with reeds (sticks) he was verbally abused. His facial expression must have shown the pain he was suffering. Matthew 27: 15-18, 26-31.
The cross is where Jesus took the whole of our sicknesses, diseases and sin in his being on the cross and as a result of the condemnation of our righteous God. When he drew near to death Jesus cried out, 'My God, my God why have you forsaken me.' The Bible reveals that God cannot and will not uphold sin, Sin separated Jesus from God his Father and so he died. The cross bore Jesus' body and all sin against God and creation. The pain in his body plus the spiritual weight of evil, crushed his soul and extinguished his life. But his death was not the end of his life, God raised Jesus up from the grave, giving his body new life, eternal life.
It was a finished work, in his resurrected body the marks of the nails identified him as being the risen Jesus. Point of need – Jesus heals our relationship with God our Father. The wonderful selfless act of Jesus through bearing and redeeming us from sin is that we too must be able to forgive those who have wronged us.
These wounds, the results of past sins are healed as we forgive as we have been forgiven by God. The cross is the meeting place between every person and God. There we find Jesus has paid the penalty for all our wrongdoings and bore our infirmities and sicknesses on the tree. Humbly we approach the cross and acknowledging that we need to be right with God we say sorry to God and ask him to forgive us, we repent and God in His love forgives our sin, and by the action and grace of the Holy Spirit we become children of God. Prayer Jesus, I ask for your forgiveness for my sins against God and others. Thank you for taking my sin upon yourself on the cross, for all that you suffered, I am really sorry, I accept the sovereignty of God over my life, take all that I have it is yours. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.
Dying to self Peter wrote, 'He himself bore our sins on the tree that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds we have been healed.' 1 Peter 2: 24.
Peter was saying in this verse that having been forgiven, so we should continually die to sin, especially to the sin that resurrects the old self, looking to our self, putting our faith in our own ability to do what we think is God's will for us, but as Jesus found out for himself our humanity is bound in fear, and self-preservation. Jesus is our example there in the Garden of Gethsemane he emptied himself of self to live determining his own life and he died to the sin of humanities fallen nature that looks to self interests and determining our own destiny. We read he prayed to his Father saying, 'Father if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you wilt.' He prayed a second time, 'My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done.' Jesus died to the sin of pride that seeks to look to self, and for self to dominate a person's life, he chose the cup of suffering, the way of the cross. Matthew 26: 39, 42. Winrar for windows 8 64 bit with crack filehippo. For us, dying to self is to turn to the cross and know that in Jesus I have died to sin, and therefore, I live according to the conviction of the Holy Spirit as to how God feels about sin. Being spiritually raised up to a new life, means the lord has transformed my nature to his righteous nature and the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin that is in the world. Being raised up becomes our experience to know we are with Christ in Spirit, ascended with Jesus into God's kingdom.
'If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give you life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.' Romans 8: 11 The difference between human and mortal. Bob Gordon in his book 'The Cross' writes, 'The difference between human and mortal. Part of the problem is that we don't stop to consider the real meaning of the words we use. These two words are terms which we often confuse with each other.
To be human, as far as we are concerned, is to be mortal. But is that the truth as far as God is concerned? When God created man, did he create mankind to be mortal-that is, subject to death? The answer is clearly, no. Both the book of Genesis and the Epistle to the Romans are explicit as to the source of death. Genesis 2: 22 makes it clear that God expelled man from the garden to prevent him from eating from the tree of life by which he could live forever.
Fiery Sequence Impose Crack Cocaine Withdrawal
From this point on, no man became subject to death as a judgement from God. Paul is very explicit on the subject when he writes to the Romans.
'Sin entered into the world through one man and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all had sinned.' Romans 5: 12. Bob Gordon goes on to write, Jesus himself was not subject to man's death until he took mankind's sin into himself, because death is the outcome of sin. Jesus himself was not sinful, therefore, he did not live his life under the threat of death as a necessary outcome of sin. Jesus himself made his position clear in this regard. He was the only man who ever lived who had the authority of life in him: ' For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father.' John 10: 17,18. Bob continues: Charles Wesley writes with tremendous spiritual insight when he proclaims the depth of this: ‘Tis mystery all! The immortal dies: who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine.'' Clearly Bob has resonated with Charles Wesley the fact that Jesus was immortal in all purity and holiness blameless and without sin, he willingly took sin upon himself and became sin to be able to redeem humanity from sin. Point of need – His righteousness is to be faithful to do the will of God and not the will of self.
Faith is about being willing always to seek and to do God's will first and foremost in our life, to be dependent upon God knowing that He only wants to bless us and what is best for us and for others. Prayer Thank you lord, for the new life that I have in Christ's risen body, his victory over the sins of the flesh that Jesus achieved for me on the cross. He has conquered death, doing for me what I could not do for myself, only God could transform my fallen nature and save me from eternal separation from God. In Jesus' name. Learning to live in the power of the cross. When suffering comes to us, we grow closer to God in our dependence upon Him. This is where our strength lies, Jesus energies our spirit.
I find that I'm comforted and strengthened by His word, but what also strengthens me is when the Lord acts upon faith in His word. I believe that I can put my trust in His word; I have found out that God keeps His word.
Colossians 1: 29. When we pray believing, we are giving God the opportunity to act on our behalf. When we pray what seems to be an impossible request, it's answered. Jesus has enabled us to live in God's kingdom, through bearing our sin, sickness and disease that lead to his death on the cross.
By his wounds we have been healed for all eternity. Sickness in our lifetime is not transferable into the eternal kingdom of God when we die; therefore, the cross has brought us everlasting peace. Nothing can separate us from the love of God; our lives are hidden in Christ. Reflection of the CROSS – No 2 Jesus ‘The Branch' The Cross – Nothing can shake loose or break the victory that Jesus achieved in his death on the cross. Only once have I experienced locally a minor earthquake, it was about 7.30am I woke up hearing a rumbling sound rolling towards the house coming down the lane, the house gently shook, we hardly felt it and it continued on past the house. I visualise in my mind what the scene was like in Jerusalem on the afternoon of the day of Jesus' crucifixion. At the sixth hour the light began to fade, the birds stopped singing and a chilling wind filled the air.
People suddenly heard a rumbling sound in seconds it grew louder and louder and the earth began to shake violently. People held on to what they could, some ran into the street, cracks and chasms began to appear in the ground, buildings began to crumble. Jesus' body on the cross must have shaken, as a result the excruciating pain, the agony he must have felt as his disjointed body took the strain. The cross didn't give way and break under the strain of the weight it bore. It was held firm in place in the ground, immovable by the quake. 'And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; the earth shook, and the rocks were split.' Matthew 27: 51 RSV Bible The temple building was damaged it's recorded that the curtain that separated the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place was torn from top to bottom revealing the interior of the most sacred room in the temple where the high priest entered once a year with the sacrifices of blood on the day of atonement.
Christians believe that the torn curtain from top to bottom signified God leaving the temple. The new temple being the body of the risen Jesus.
From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour and Jesus cried out with a loud voice, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' Matthew 27: 45-50 RSV Bible The earthquake didn't move the branch, the cross during those most crucial hours when Jesus took upon himself, in his being the penalty of the sins of the whole world and universe. His words tell us that he was separated, forsaken by God his Father. 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' Jesus died soon after saying those words.
Through Jesus' death sin died with him. God defeated Satan and his principalities and powers, taking from Satan his power over humanity that caused eternal death separation from God our creator. ' Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil.' Hebrews 2: 14, 15. Point of need – Our every point of need to work out our salvation is found in Jesus' redemptive work on the cross. On the evening of the day of Jesus' resurrection Jesus appeared before his disciples and in the house where they were staying in Jerusalem. There Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit on his disciples, (the wind, the breath of God's Holy Spirit) they were later told to wait for the Holy Spirit's coming in power. The Holy Spirit came into the house where they where and filled them, it took place at Pentecost.
Through faith in Jesus and acknowledging that we need to be right with God we say sorry to God and ask him to forgive us, we repent and God forgives our sin, and by the action and grace of the Holy Spirit we are united with Jesus in his death, dying for our sin and in his resurrection by being raised up with him into heavenly places. As a result of sincere faith we receive Father, Son and Holy Spirit into our heart. We can't say that this sequence happens in this way every time. God isn't restricted to one way, but turning in faith to Jesus, seeking repentance and forgiveness of sins are the ingredients to being filled with the Holy Spirit. We can ask in faith to receive God's Holy Spirit as a gift, we say in a prayer: Prayer Lord thank you for all that you have done for me on the cross reconciling me to God my Father and I ask to receive your precious gift of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name. The cross part of Jesus Every part of the work of redemption is in Christ, even the wood that bore the force of the earthquake.
Jesus referred to as ‘the Branch' of a tree and a root out of dry ground. 'There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse and a branch shall grow out of its roots.' Isaiah 11: 1. No coincidence that Jesus is called the ‘Branch' one of the titles associated with the Messiah. Isaiah identifies the suffering of the Messiah, For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground.' Isaiah 53: 2.
Isaiah's clear reference to the Messiah in describing him being a descendent of King David through Jesse's line. The Spirit of the Lord resting upon Jesus, as a boy aged 12 he knew that God was his Father and he had the characteristics of his Father God in his amazing miracles and healing ministry that revealed God in their midst. Isaiah 11: 1-9.
Nathaniel in conversation with Jesus immediately associated Jesus' reference to the Messiah when Jesus said to him, 'Before Philip called you when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.' Nathaniel replied, 'Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!' John 1: 48, 49. Jesus saying that he saw him under the fig tree perhaps Zachariah's vision came to Nathaniel's mind.
Zachariah wrote what the angel had said, ' Behold, I will bring my servant the Branch. For behold, upon the stone which I set before Joshua, upon a single stone with seven facets.
I will engrave its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the guilt of this land in a single day. In that day, says the Lord of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbour under his vine and under his fig tree.' Zachariah 3: 10. Jesus the Branch ' I will remove the guilt of this land.' Jesus' death on the cross removing the guilt of past sins and the curse God put on a man punished under law, hanging from a tree, to be removed before the end of the day otherwise the land would be defiled.
Jesus became sin, the curse that God put upon the man who hung from the branch of the tree. 'And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is accursed by God; you shall not defile your land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance. Deuteronomy 21: 22, 23.
Point of need – On the cross Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the righteousness of God, setting us free from God's condemnation, from being accursed by God. 'Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us-for it is written, 'Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree.' Galatians 3: 13, 23. Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea took Jesus' body down before the end of the day. Matthew 27: 57-62 Jesus, ‘having become a curse for us' smitten by God and afflicted, he became all that separated us from God the Father: God in his wrath put upon the ground of thorns and thistles after Adam's disobedience of God's word to him that he was not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The curse put on woman: having pain in child-bearing and the rule of man over her. Jesus has redeemed mankind from the curses and every sin and wrong thoughts, attitudes and actions. Genesis 3. Isaiah 53: 4 Prayer Thank you, Lord for redeeming me from the curse put upon man/woman/child and for all curses coming down my generational line over the third and fourth generations of my ancestry. My goodness, righteousness is in Jesus Christ through repentance and faith in Jesus, I've been born anew of the Spirit of God my Father. In the name of Jesus. Amen Point of need – to be aware of putting curses upon ourselves. James 3: 10 'From the same mouth come blessings and cursing.' He writes that with our tongue we can bless the Lord and curse people in the same sentence.
To bless someone is to want God's favour to rest on them. To curse is to come against someone with remarks to cause hardship and ill will. The late Derek Prince on his DVD ‘Generational Curses' says, 'Wrong attitude can lead to self-imposed curses, we should not say, ‘I'm tired of living' or ‘I'm a failure'. If someone says that to us, revoke the negative with a positive, he gave the example of Jesus in conversation with Peter his disciple before and after his resurrection.
In the courtyard of the high priest Peter denied Jesus three times and Jesus revoked it three times when he asked him, 'Do you love me?' three times.' John 18: 15-27. Matthew 26: 74 We can make mistakes and our Lord God has given us protection for those mistakes in our redemption through Jesus dying on the cross for all curses and their causes. Point of need – protection from hindrances. Sitting under the branches of the tree, gives protection from direct sunlight and a place to invite a friend, a neighbour to sit in fellowship.
The Branch Jesus, the cross shelters and protects us from the fiery darts that would otherwise hinder and preoccupy our time. • Time spent in prayer for the needs of others, instead of ourselves. • Time spent listening to God, instead of wrestling with enemy. • Time spent with others engaging in bringing people to know Jesus as their personal Saviour. The devil will try to hinder and frustrate the ministry of the church. Being aware of his tactics we can through prayer and Godly wisdom working together discern his activity. God discerned that Jesus' strength in his body was failing when Simon of Cyrene was commandeered to carry his cross on the journey through the streets of Jerusalem.
Matthew 27: 32 There are times when in our ministry we need to discern when to be supported by others, or to maybe hand the baton to someone else. Recently I've handed the baton of leading the Ladies Fellowship to another lady, who graciously has taken up the ministry, this has enriched and blessed her and the Fellowship. If we find our strength failing and the task feels too great, may we humble ourselves before you and pray for your help and grace at the point of our need. Prayer Thank you Lord, for when we recognise we are weakened by the limits of our humanity.

You are our example and It's good to know that when the cross we carry is hard to bear, we share with fellow Christians the tasks that you have called us to. In Jesus' name. The Reflections of the Cross – a series on the cross of Jesus. Every point of need to live the Christian life is met by Jesus on the cross.
The Lord gave me a word on the morning of Sunday 15 th October 2017 ‘Jesus the seed that died on the cross contains the new heaven and the new earth.' Millions of people across the world who have not read the Bible won't know about God's promise of a new heaven and earth reserved for God's people. The Apostle Peter writing almost two thousand years ago foresaw the continuing downward slide of humanity's sin, where the majority of people's thoughts and activities exclude any reference or acknowledgement of God.
God has said through his prophets he will make an end of sin and dissolve the earth and the heavens with fire and they will be replaced by a new earth and a new heaven. Peter's second letter he writes that t hey (Earth and Heaven) will be dissolved with fire, 'And the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.' I do not want to produce a climate of fear by writing this in order to turn hearts to Christ. I have been prompted by the word that came into my mind to make known the Bible's prophecy. There is already fear in people's hearts and minds over the threat of mankind's capability to extinguish life on the earth through nuclear wars breaking out.
Matthew recorded Jesus' words in regard to the close of the age. Jesus gave us a sequence of events that will lead to the dissolving of the earth. Part of these things he mentioned have already come to pass: the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem 70AD, and wars kingdom against kingdom nation against nation. In more recent times as the prophecy of Jesus nears the close of the age, the escalation of violence and evil has brought about two world wars, and civil wars continue to intensify world tensions among world leaders. Idolatry of leaders will increase as people worship someone they can see and believe in. There have been false Christ's on the world scene who have established cultural and spiritual change, the setting up of Communism a humanistic society that promotes disbelief in God and ‘the Age of Aquarius' New Age spirituality that combines themes from various religions and the search for utopia, happiness through self satisfaction. These have coincided with the space age and the movie maker's imagination has had the technology to put their ideas and prophecies into a visual media that is false.
The pollution of the planet, the seas are warming up causing huge hurricane storms and flooding, the deserts are increasing in size causing drought, famines, and disease. The pollution of our atmosphere with CO2's. But things are to get worse even with the increase of knowledge. Matthew 24: 1-31.
Peter continues: he spoke of the day of God, on that day God enforces his Godly judgement on the world. 'Waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved and the elements will melt with fire! But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.' 2 Peter 3: 10-13 Paul in his letter to the Thessalonians points to the coming judgement on the world.
5 'This is evidence of the righteous judgement of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— 6 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saint, and to be marvelled by all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.' 2 Thessalonians 1: 5-9.
Jesus tells us that we are accountable for the life that we live here on the earth, although in his ministry during those three years he said that he came not as a judge but as a Saviour. He spoke of the fire of judgement that he knew he would bring in to the world at a future date.
'I came to cast a fire upon the earth and would that it were already kindled. I have a baptism to be baptised with and how I am constrained until it is accomplished!' Luke 12: 49, 50. The baptism that Jesus spoke of was of his death on the cross at Jerusalem. The cross of Jesus – Jesus the imperishable seed has within its makeup, a new heaven and a new earth. A seed is complete it contains everything it's going to be, what it is, its colour, height, shape of leaves, flowers and seeds for future growth, one seed produces many more. But in that process of production of wheat, the seed dies, it reduces in size. The seed has to germinate before it can start to grow.

Most seeds are planted in the soil where they germinate. Jesus the seed that died.
