NO ACCUSATIONS AGAINST YOU AGAIN

Col 2:14: "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"


Jesus has cancelled the records of the devil's accusations against us when His enemies set their accusations against Him over His head on the cross "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS". Matthew 27:37. 

By this event, the righteousness of the innocent Jesus was exchanged for the devil's accusation against us for our past sins which God has forgiven us through the blood of Jesus Christ. The allegation for which we have been condemned to death was put upon the righteous Jesus who was enviously and wrongly accused and condemned to death, and His righteousness was given to us as a gift so that we can be justified and be freed. So the death of Jesus on the cross was for our acquitted from the condemnation to death and it's for our freedom from the bondage of the devil. It is those who have been acquitted of the wrongdoing that can be set free from the bondage of the police called the devil. In this way, Jesus disarmed our accusers, the principalities and powers. He shamed them publicly by His victory and triumph over them on the cross.


Rom 5:1: "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"


We have been absolved or advocated for from the wrongdoings of the past by Jesus Christ, and we now have peace with God. Jesus has answered for our forgiveness before God through His death. And God accepted His apology when He raised us together with Christ from the dead. The righteousness of Jesus Christ was the ground by which God accepted His plea for our forgiveness. And God who has delivered us from death by the regeneration of our spirit has also delivered our soul and body, and all that belongs to us from the power of the devil. Therefore the devil has no right again to lay claim to our soul or to anything that belongs to us. Our salvation is total and holistic. The death of Jesus on the cross and His blood He shed for us is for the deliverance of our spirit, soul, and body. It is for our complete redemption, not only for past sins but also from the control of self-life and the power of darkness.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
