1 Corinthians 1:29-31)...As a Christian, as you seek to find, when you finally discover the revelation that God, yes God himself has Made Jesus to be FOR YOU your wisdom, your true and only way, your life (Col 3:1-4), your righteousness, your sanctification , your eternal redemption and salvation, also your not of this world measure (John 17:14-16) and your peace with God (Eph 2:13-17)..When you really find out this revelation given Paul and its truth and you see it and believe it for yourself, it is then that the days of your worrying are over. For it is then that you have taken the load of your salvation off your back and placed your faith all on Jesus Christ and him crucified's unmatchable redeeming power. Jesus told us that the true yoke Jesus gives us is easy on us and its burden is light, not heavy, nor fear filled and worrisome. It is liberating, freedom giving, burden bearing, and worry free. It is achieved only by total faith, trust, and confidence in Christ and His Blood and true Gospel Promises.
But as long as your confidence remains on yourself and not on what God did by Christ Jesus and on what God made Jesus to be for you thru the Cross, the enemy then can nit pick you in your mind about all your flaws and imperfections until your heart and mind is filled with constant dread, fear, guilt, lack of peace and lack of assurance and worry. Paul called all these things spiritual satanic bondages laid on people (Galations 5:1 and Galations 5:7-8).
Lets listen....Since we can cast out Satan himself and tread on all the power of darkness thru faith in the mighty and power filled Name of Jesus Christ, we can also possess and achieve many other things try faith in the same. We can have peace with God and find rest to our souls thru faith and confidence in the power of the Name of Jesus and thru total faith, trust, and confidence in the power of his redeeming sacrifice and atoning blood, death and resurrection. Its all in our minds coming to the right gospel understanding of the Power of God unto Salvation which yesterday, today and forever is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified and Risen from the dead (1 Cor 1:17-18 & 1 Cor 23-24).
Jesus told us, when you come unto the right knowledge of Him and take His true Yoke upon you, YOU THEN WILL FIND REST UNTO YOUR SOUL, NOT FEAR, DREAD, WORRY & DOUBT. Many are taught wrong about Jesus and the Power of His Cross. Many have had the wrong gospel proclaimed. Jesus Christ and him crucified, its power has been deluded and watered down in their minds BY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MANIPULATE and CONTROL THEM sometimes for evil gain. Many have the wrong YOKE upon their heart and mind and they have found no real and deep assurance, nor the sweet rest that Jesus' True Knowledge and True Yoke gives. Jesus said, take MY YOKE upon yourselves and LEARN of Me and YOU SHALL FIND REST UNTO YOU SOULS. If what is being proclaimed and preached to your soul leaves you inconstant unrest, dread, misery, doubt and GIVES YOU NO assurance, RUN. We have been called to peace, not to confusion and spiritual ulcers.
Brethren, Jesus was our sin offering, our guilt offering, OUR PEACE OFFERING so making peace. He was sacrificed to give us peace with God and for heart and mind peace. Jesus was sacrificed to gives us sweet fellowship with God not a BOXING MATCH everyday. He was sacrificed as our Guilt offering to remove Satan's guilt trip power and Christ was sacrificed to take away sins. But all of his sacrifice and all of the power of God in the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross does no good, nor does it benefit any soul that does not know the power of God in the Cross of Christ. Nor does all that redeeming power benefit the soul or the mind of any that does not believe it, trust in it, or that does not have any confidence in it. Without faith we cannot please God. Without faith, confidence, and trust in the sacrifice of Christ and resurrection you cannot please God.
Without our faith in Christ blood and in his redeeming Cross, we are filled with total dependency on self and not on Jesus. That is not a safe place to be in. That is a crushing weight that robs us of peace and steals joy.
Satans trick is to get your eyes off the Cross of Christ where Gods saving Power is, belittle and demean its power in your eyes, in your mind and make the faith and confidence exchange and switch where you lose confidence in Christ power and put more of your confidence on to your self to save yourself by your own works.
But let us remember the revelations Jesus gave to Paul and what Paul preached. Paul said not by our works God has saved us but By the blood of His Sons Redeeming Cross. It is THE GIFT of God (Ephesians 2:1-10 & 2 Timothy 1:8-9). When one loses sight of that truth, he enters Satans gospel and Satans play ground. He runs all over the place in his mind to go get circumcised in order that he could be saved. Satan deceived him to think that he must also shed his OWN BLOOD in circumcision or he will not be saved. Paul boldly defended the pure gospel and said that THAT WAS A LIE, even another gospel. Even so so many Satan convinces to put their own works on the Cross with Jesus or they to want be saved. That is another of Satan's subtle deceiving lies, tricks and gospel that leads many to ruin, unrest, and misery, even to fall from grace. (Galations 5:1-4)
Believing on the Name of Jesus can cast Satan out. Believing on the name of Jesus Christ can destroy the works of the devil and believing on the Name of Jesus can also give you perfect peace with God. It is AMAZING what real faith, real believing, have confidence in, and trusting in the Name of Jesus can do for us.
Do you really think you can get anywhere with God or impress God with believing in or trusting in your own name above His? or believing in your own self and good works above the blood of His own Cross? When you stand on the merits of anything you do you are believing and trusting in your own name and in the acceptance of your own self. John wrote that we are all commanded to trust and to BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. He understood the redeeming power of God in Christ and HIm crucified.
So which do you think is greater, to believe and call upon your own name or believing and calling upon the Name of Jesus Christ the perfect sinless risen Son of God, Emmanuel himself?
When you believe and call upon the Name of Jesus Christ, that means you have put all your confidence and trust in Him and His Far Above All Great Name, Deeds, His Works on the Cross and His achievements and you have no more any confidence in yourself to save you. YOUR ARE SET FREE. Your trust and confidence now is all on Jesus' shoulders and in the Power of His Redeeming Cross where God intends in to be just like He commanded of all of Israel that passover night..
Just like Moses and all of the people of Israel, in Egypt that passover night, God told them that their faith, trust, and confidence was to be ONLY IN THE SACRIFICE OF THE PASSOVER LAMB AND IN THE BLOOD OF THAT PASSOVER LAMB and not in anything of themselves.. They were commanded by God to have zero confidence in their own selves, nor in their own names or good standing with God by their works, but to only have faith, trust and confidence in the blood of the sacrificed Lamb that represented Christ Jesus and the saving faith that was to come by the blood of His Cross. They had to let go of religious self confidence to redeem them and depend solely on the Blood the Lamb which was Christ representation to Save Them. Had they ignored Gods command of faith in the Lambs blood that night and being deceived walked outside the atoning blood thinking they could trust in their own selves, in their own goodness and works THEY WOULD HAVE PERISHED WITH THE ENEMY, even by the hand of God sent that night.
Keep your faith, confidence, and trust in the blood of Christ and in his CROSS, DEATH and RESURRECTION, for this is eternal lifes true and everlasting heartbeat......deno.....share freely.
