The wind blows gently. There is a subtle silence. Floral fragrance around. The sun has almost set and dusk has begun. Judas is alone. The tempter is by his side. His weakness is known. He hears the sweet gentle voice. He lends his ears and the devil moves into him and dwells in him.
Judas, this world will know you.
Judas, every mother will tell about you.
Judas, your name will spread far and wide.
Judas, every writer will describe you.
Judas, eye has not seen nor, ear heard the things prepared for you.
Judas, you will not lack anything.
Judas, you will be like the olive tree.
Judas, you are the candlestick and you will sit beside me.
Judas, you will be with me eternally.
Judas, I am the king of this world and you are my son.
Do it!
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, As a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
My son, When you were hungry I fed you. When you were thirsty I quenched your thirst. When you were crying I wiped your tears. When you stumbled I held you. When you were sick I healed you. When you were lonely I was your companion. When the world hated you, I loved you.
“The Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever” ( Hebrews 13:8).
Pastor Daniel Yusuf and four other brothers, tied by the extremist and left on the railway tracks for their Christian faith. Hands tied back with ropes. They started singing how great is our God.
As the train was approaching fast. Pastor Daniel and four other brothers started shouting that they would die but not deny Jesus.
The train was dangerously close and the extremists had retreated near their vehicles. and were watching them. His last prayer, “Heavenly Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. Forgive these men, for they know not what they are doing. Use our death to glorify your name”.,
Just 10 seconds left, At that last gasp of time that air around changed and an invisible presence, but of a tremendous power and majesty had entered the scene. The gentle blowing wind stopped completely. Everything was still. A figure luminous silhouette, transparent as crystal, but bright as the midday sun appeared directly over the tracks, positioning between them and the locomotive. A liquid light pure glory from the very divine presence materialized in the human form. The figure simply extended the arms to the sides as if preparing to receive an impact.
The train the mass of tons of steal travelling more than 80 kms per hour began to slow down. Not a normal deceleration, no screeching of emergency brakes, no sparks flying from the wheels rubbing against the tracks, no characteristics metallic sound of a sudden stop. It was as if a gigantic invisible hand has simply grabbed the train and began to stop it gradually, smoothly as if it were a mere child’s toy being stopped by its owner
The extremist watching from distance were confused and thought it was a witchcraft and fled, As the train continued its impossible deceleration the silhouette in front of them became sharper and sharper. They recognized the hands that had deep marks in their palms. They also recognized the feet that carried the scars. It was Him. It was Jesus it was their Redeemer and Saviour the King of kings and the Lord of lords standing physically present on those tracks in stopping 150 ton locomotive with nothing more than the power of the divine presence.
The train stopped completely at exactly 3 meters from them. They could hear the hiss of the engine smell of the oil.
The train was completely motionless as if it had been frozen in time and space. The figure of theLord Jesus then turned to them. His eyes like liquid fire filled with love so intense, so pure, so perfect that they felt their heart would explode with joy. The Lord Jesus looked directly to the Pastor Daniel and said, “My son your faith has saved you. Rise up”. In that very instant the ropes and the cables that bound him to the tracks loosened by themselves. They did not break, they were not cut. They simply came undone as if invisible hands had carefully and precisely untied them.
All the five of them kneeled on the tracks in front of the miraculously stopped locomotive and worshiped the Lord.
The Lord Jesus smiled at them. A smile that seemed to contain all the tenderness and goodness of the universe. He began to fade, gradually becoming translucent and finally a golden light remained floating in the air for few seconds and disappeared.
The hand of the Lord is mighty and powerful. His saving strength is magnificent. When He can split the sea, breakdown the walls, stop the river, and can tie the mouth of the lion, He can do anything and everything. He will protect us and save us in all situations. He is the saving strength of the Anointed.
There is one more mighty sign and the world will know that the coming of the Lord is near. There will be persecution, torment and torture, but the Lord will never forsake us.
“He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation” (Psalms 91:15,16).
Even if men come before you with arms and ammunition do not fear call the Lord, call Him with all your Might or silently in your mind but call Him “Lord Jesus” and He will save you. He hears even the faintest cry. If you are gifted with speaking in tongues, speak in tongues the enemy will fear and flee.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is Omnipotent. He is our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer.
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame scorch you” (Isaiah 43:2).
Lord Jesus never fails. Once, God descended while I was praying and was before me. He moved towards me and held both my hands. The firm grip with which He held my hands meant a lot to me: a silent transformation of his love into my heart saying, “I am with you.” Tears rolled down my eyes.
“Blessed art thou who seek me early. I have carved your name on my palm. I wait for you. I remember you every second; my focus is on you. Do not go away from Me. You thought I was silent and that I would not help you. No, I was just waiting for that opportunity to bless you multifold. First and foremost I want to bless you with spiritual gifts. I know you. Hold my hand and walk with Me. I will lead you. I who lead Moses and Joshua is leading you. Nothing can stop you. No wilderness, no desert, no mountains, no waters, no fire, and no man or devil can overpower you for I am with you” says the Holy Spirit.
Men of this world neither have peaceful rest here on this earth nor will they have eternal peace. We have the God of peace, Lord Jesus Christ, with us. Be of good cheer. He has overcome everything and stamped all that are unholy and evil on that cruel cross. In this world we have trials and temptations. God will surely lead us through. Bondages are broken, witchcraft is crushed and thrown into the desolate waters.
Let’s be thankful to our Mighty Father. Empty our hearts and pour them out to Him.
During my college years, I was praying for the Anointing. I went to several churches, attended Tarring meetings and once I requested a man of God to pray for me in a youth meeting. He prayed but nothing happened.
Three years later, God spoke to my sister, and she guided me to wait after 12 midnight. I was praying and I prayed and prayed all the sins flashed across my mind. I repented for all my sins and at 2:30 AM, God touched me. He poured His Anointing, the Fire Anointing was mighty, I could not control and was rolling on the floor. After a month she prayed for my Power Anointing. I received the Power Anointing for seven days.
My sister, a mighty prophetess and an apostle— if she is the main speaker in any convention or prayer meeting, during the final prayer session she used to move amidst the people gathered and put her hand on them and they will just fall in the Anointing. Pastors used to kneel and get themselves prayed from her for the Power anointing. Very holy, energetic and had the zeal to serve the Lord. And very obedient to Him. Her prophesies were precise and perfect.
One day we both sat to have our breakfast. She said she was seeing a vision of number 7 in gold and that it was glittering. She asked me the meaning of it. I was not too serious about it but I told her that we will discuss it later, first let’s finish the breakfast. She got up, walked to her room fell and gave up. God took her. I prayed and prayed cried and pleaded to God, took her to a church at about 3 AM (it was quite far), and asked the pastor to pray nothing happened. I was devastated. Why, God? why?
Seven denotes perfection. She did the perfect will of our God being sincere, holy and obedient.
“But our God is in the heaven: He does whatever He pleases” (Psalm 115:3).
Everyone has to undergo trials and temptations. Our God is the God of breakthrough. Only with his guidance we can overcome any situation.
A few years back, one night as I was preparing my dinner, one Muslim woman an old lady, called for me. She cried and asked me to come to her home and to see her husband. I told her that they have faith in dead men and visit Dargah, Muslim shrine and that I will not pray for them. But she started crying loudly and asked me not to say so but pleaded for me to visit her home to see her husband, whom I used to address as uncle, an elderly man and much respected in this region. God revealed all his sins to me.
The Holy Spirit guided me to go. As I went there, I saw hundreds of Muslim men dressed in white gathered in the front of their house waiting to arrange for the last rites. I walked in, there were many women gathered. They all gave way and were waiting to see what I am going to do. Since we pray in tongues many think we do some sort of incantation, magic or spell.
This man had cancer and was just giving up his ghost. There was no sense. His hands and legs were dead. His wife started to cry more when she saw me lifting his hands and legs, his lifeless hands and legs fell dead. No sign of life. His body was cold.
I knelt down by his bed and prayed, asked the Lord to forgive all his sins. I told the Lord, “O Lord! Where your spirit dwells there is liberty. In your presence the spirit of death has no power and authority.” And I asked the Lord to send the spirit of life back to his body. Immediately, this man rose from the bed and said, “He was feeling fine.” And stood straight. All glory to God on high. God’s Name was glorified.
This miracle did not happen for my own sister. God does everything according to His will. He does what He pleases.
He wants you to be His chosen shepherd for His lost sheep. Many are lost and scattered. The sincere anointed powerful shepherds are very few.
If one visits the throne room of God, experience the presence of God the Almighty, hear His thunderous voice then his sermons will be utter serious, without any jokes and worldly stuff. He will never crack jokes or make his congregation or the people laugh in the presence of the Great Jehovah. Our Lord is very kind and loving but very serious and stern.
God chose the Levites to carry the Ark of the Covenant. He was not pleased when Uzza held the Ark when the oxen stumbled. He smote him (1 chronicles 13:9,10).
Moses was not permitted to enter the promised land due to his disobedience at the Waters of Meribah (Numbers 20:7-12).
When Paul and Silas prayed and praised in the prison there was an earthquake, the foundations were shaken. The prison walls were broken. Prayer, praise and worship can break down the walls the barriers and crush the bondages. Burden and bondage must not bury us but we have to stamp it and crush it in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Whatever you are going through, Humble yourself and surrender wholly to The Lord. The anointing of the Holy Spirit breaks every bondage in your life and in your household. The Holy Spirit is very Powerful. He should be the head of your house. Take His guidance. Let all decisions be made according to His will.
Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you , says the Lord.
You have to accomplish the mission for which you have been called: for the mission is great and it’s powerful. Will you do it for the Lord?
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said. Let there be light: and there was light” (Genesis 1:2,3) .
For, “He created man in HIS own image” (Genesis 1:26).“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground; breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). “He breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:22). “Jesus answered and said unto her, if you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked Him, and he would have given you living water” (John 4:10). “Jesus answered, most assuredly I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God” (John 3:5).
Our LORD JESUS CHRIST was the perfect example to this world, for the kind of life one has to lead, for He lived according to the word – Be ye Holy, as I AM Holy. With His Spirit, you are a living soul, and without it, you are equivalent to a dead soul. In order to possess His characteristics and virtues, we should receive HIS SPIRIT. Without the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to lead a perfect and holy life that is pleasing to God. Your focus should be only on the Lord. When Peter took his eyes off the LORD, he started sinking; fear struck him seeing the boisterous wind around. If you stay focused on the LORD, nothing can hinder you. When He enters your home, He will set right your home, HE will heal your body and every weakness will flee. Without the Holy Spirit, your future is bleak, and your life will be void and empty.
Greatest and the most precious treasure on this Earth is the anointing of THE HOLY SPIRIT, which you should possess.
Lord Jesus wants you. He wants to dwell in you, in your heart and in your home. He wants to change the manger in your heart to the throne of God, no matter who you are, how you are. He is not concerned about your qualification, your job, and your status. You are His temple. You are His dwelling place. He dwells in the heart that is meek. He dwelt among the meekest. The Lord Jesus came down to comfort you. He calls his children, My people. He is a very jealous and a possessive God. He does not want you to commit mistakes. He does not want you to commit sin and lose His grace.
Though there were many mangers, the Wise men visited that very special manger: for The King of Kings was born there. If the King of Kings is born in your heart, He will transform your heart. He will cleanse your sins and will make you Holy and perfect by filling you with His Holy Spirit. You will be the anointed one; the chosen precious one. You will excel in all that you do. You will be a supernatural person with supernatural gifts. Only The Holy Spirit can lead you to live a meaningful life, lest you will not know the purpose of your life and your existence.
When His Spirit enters you and your home, you will be delivered. As He descends, every darkness, discomfort, disease and distress will disappear. When the Spirit of the Lord moved, the darkness left.
You might have lost your loved one, material things, your job and possession yet, let not your heart be troubled. Pray for the anointing. Once He fills you with His Spirit, He will take complete control of your life, your family, your future and your home.
When you are anointed, your life will change. Your life will not be the same again. Only the Lord can cleanse your soul and spirit. The anointing of the Holy Spirit is the sheer sign of forgiveness.
“I will pour My Spirit upon all flesh” (Joel 2:28). In the last days, the Lord wants to pour His precious Spirit upon all His children. The Lord is prepared to anoint everyone.
Are you prepared to receive the anointing?
You will be left behind; if you are not anointed. Remember the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-12), those who had the oil went along with the bridegroom. If you do not have the oil – the anointing you will lose your chance of entering the Kingdom of God. The Lord said in John 14: 16,26. “I will pray the Father and He will give you another Comforter (Helper) that He may abide with you forever. But the Comforter (Helper) the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you”. The anointing of the Holy Spirit is the prerequisite condition to enter the Kingdom of God.
Sin will mar you. Sin will destroy your body, Sin will destroy your home, Sin will keep you away from the true blessings of the Heaven. Sin will lead you to hell. Tomorrow is too late. You will miss the opportunity of entering the Kingdom of God.
“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved” (John 10:9). Repent now: for the time is at hand. As you surrender yourself to Him whole-heartedly, He will touch your heart. He will help you to repent. All that you have committed from your childhood to this day will flash across your mind. If you have not repented whole-heartedly, the sins will haunt you, it will torment you. “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it shall be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). “I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me” (Revelations 3:20).
“Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). Repentance is a cleansing process. The body is the vessel and the vessel has to be clean. At the mount of Horeb, Prophet Mosses, the meekest was commanded by the Lord to put off his shoes. That was his past. Later he saw the Lord, the fire and was commissioned for a great mission. Your past sins have to be rooted out and cleansed. Water baptism is the sign for cleansing your sins and the past. You become a new person. John the Baptist said, “I indeed baptize you with water but one mightier than I is coming whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose: He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” (Luke 3:16). Water Baptism is a confirmation, that you have joined a community of believers but the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the sheer sign of forgiveness. You put your first step on the ladder to the Heaven only after receiving the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That is the visa to enter the Kingdom of God.
Set your eyes on the Lord. Let your focus be on Him. Repent for all your sins. Ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit. Once you experience the love of the Holy Spirit you will be prepared to do everything for Him.
The Holy Spirit is stronger than the strongest, mightier than the mightiest. In weakness, He is your strength. He is the Father of the Fatherless, the Husband of the widow, the Guide to the lost and the Physician to the sick. He satiates the weary soul and replenishes the sorrowful soul.
Our Lord Jesus Christ led a very successful life. His eyes were on the mission for which He was sent. The mission ahead is very serious. You are called for a great purpose. He wants to utilize you for this great mission. He wants to equip you with His shield and armour. The Mighty Holy Spirit will move before you. He will set right everything in your life and make the crooked things straight.
Few years ago, while I was waiting at the Lord’s feet, I had a spiritual visitation to an enormous hall in Heaven. I could see myself in the same kneeling position, as I was in flesh in my room. I looked around and there was none, but me all alone kneeling. The walls extended to an infinite height and it looked like frosted glass glittering, like crystal. There was complete silence and the silence was frightening. Suddenly, I heard the great thundering voice of the Almighty LORD. He said, “My son, the silence here is to tell you how serious I am. Go and tell this world, that I am a SERIOUS GOD.”
Our God is a very serious God. We His children will have to lead a serious, holy and perfect life. In order to lead a life pleasing to Him, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is vital.
Lord Jesus never laughed during His earthly ministry. But, our “Lord Jesus wept” (John 11:35). He weeps even today. He weeps every day: for man has not known the Creator, the children have not known the Father, the sheep has not known the Shepherd and the servant has not known the Master.
How to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
“Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin” (Psalms 51:2).
“But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:6,7,8).
After repenting whole-heartedly and pleading to Him to cleanse you with His precious blood`, you will have immense peace within yourself and the entire burden in your heart removed. Then, start praising the Lord, praise Him continuously. He might anoint you anytime of the day; either in the personal prayer, in your church or in an evangelical meeting. He knows the exact time. You have to keep your vessel always ready to receive His Spirit and welcome the God of Peace into your holy temple. “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit” (1Cor 6:19).
For some the anointing might be delayed, but He will definitely anoint everyone, who seeks Him diligently and prays according to His will. Pray that you want His Spirit to serve Him. He will bless you with His Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit.
You will have strange experiences when the Holy Spirit touches you. You will feel the warmth of the Lord. Some might feel as though a block of ice is being placed and feeling of chillness going down the spine. Few will feel the body tremble and shiver; you may not be able to withstand the power and may even fall to the ground. He might touch your tongue and you will be blessed with the Gift of speaking in various tongues. You will be filled with immense joy. Some might even shed tears unknowingly. The experience for each one may be different. One can also have visions of The Lord Jesus Christ, when the spiritual eyes are opened and one can hear HIS sweet voice, when the spiritual ears are opened.
With the Lord in you, there is no sorrow, no sickness, no problems and no trouble. There is only joy: joy unlimited. You are His chosen vessel. He has been waiting to anoint you. It is time for you to receive His anointing. Receive the anointing of The Holy Spirit, be a perfect vessel for the All Perfect One.
“Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the Lord. Let us lift our hearts and our hands to God in the Heaven” (Lam 3:40, 41).
Receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit and be blessed forever.
“He was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicle 7:14).
Couple of years ago, when I knelt down to pray and I was worshipping the Mighty Lord in tongues, all of a sudden, I felt an unusual experience; I could see my spirit increasing in proportions and the Lord said, “Come here.” I left my body in spirit and was in the throne room of God the Almighty. The Throne of God is above the third Heaven. My Spirit was in the same kneeling position as my body in my room. The throne room of God is divided into Holy place, the most Holy place and the Holiest of Holy place. There are several screens or partitions between the Holy place and the Holiest of Holy place. Those who have visitations are placed in between those partitions based on their love for the Lord.
Seeing the crystal partition before the Holiest of Holy place, I had a desire to see what is behind the screen and to see the Father. And our loving Lord knew my thought and called me inside. As I moved, I was flabbergasted to see the Huge Mass of Fire extended to an infinite height. A thought arose as to what was behind and the Lord said, “Go and see”. I moved around and I could see only fire; fire all around, fire above, fire everywhere. As I moved further into Him, I felt the fire of the Lord; I could feel that in my body. Our Lord is the Consuming Fire. Prophet Ezekiel says “I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about with in it, from the appearance of His lions even upward, and from the appearance of His lions even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about” (Ezekiel 1:27). And I saw the Lord Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and the Father Jehovah merge together.
This Most Mighty Magnificent Monarch the Great Yahweh became man for man. He had lot of mercy on the poor, the peasants, the shepherds, the fishers and all those who were suffering because of the heinous rule of the Herod. He lived and moved amidst the people. He touched the lepers and cleansed them; He opened the eyes of the blind, the ears of the deaf, and loosened the tongue of the dumb. In His presence, the crippled and the palsy leaped, jumped and walked. The possessed screamed at His sight and were delivered from the demonic possession. He raised the dead alive. His fame grew far and wide. People flocked around Him to hear His words of Wisdom. He was bold and courageous; He spoke with authority and power.
The Passover
“For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment; I AM the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever” (Exodus 12:12-14).
The children of Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt for four hundred and thirty years. They were serving the Egyptians and their lives were bitter. The Lord saw their affliction, heard their groaning and remembered His covenant. The Lord chose Prophet Moses to deliver His children from bondage. He sent him to Pharaoh to deliver the children of Israel. He performed mighty signs and wonders. There were plagues one after the other, but pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he refused to let them go. The Lord guided His congregation to take a lamb without blemish, kill it and apply the blood of the lamb on the two side posts as well as on the upper doorpost of their houses. The children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded.
At midnight, the Lord moved through the land of Egypt, He smote all the firstborn, both man and cattle from the palace to the dungeon. But, when He saw the blood on the two door posts and the upper post, He passed over: for He knew it was the dwelling place of His children. Pharaoh and the Egyptians didn’t want any more plagues and curse so he let them go.
The Lord wanted His children to remember this for their lifetime.
Pontius Pilate the Roman prefect was a tough, tyrant and draconian Governor of Judea including Jerusalem. Joseph Caiaphas was the high priest, the son in law of Annas the first High priest during the Roman rule. The priests were the bitterest foes of the Lord Jesus Christ because He vehemently protested them for permitting the temple premises to be used as a market place and hindering the gentiles or non-Jews from worshipping in the temple. Pilate and Caiaphas were in power together for ten years. The actual daily rule of Jerusalem was in the hands of Caiaphas.
The Pharisees were people who had separated themselves from the ordinary folk to live a saintly life. They considered Lord Jesus to be their enemy because he flouted many of the rituals considered sacred, and He denounced them openly for their hypocritical ways. The Scribes were the teachers of the law. The Lord Jesus often took a severe stand against scribes because their interpretations were contrary to the rights of the common people and their well-being. Sadducees were upper class, rich and noble families. They were a priestly aristocracy very powerful hated by Pharisees, the Scribes and the locals. They were sceptical with regard to the popular Messianic ideas and were also responsible for the death of Lord Jesus. “And one of them named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people and not that the whole nation perish. Now this he did not say on his own authority but being the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation” (John 11:49-51).
In the Letters of Pontius Pilate written to his friend Seneca in Rome, he describes Lord Jesus Christ as portrayed by his wife Procula that He was a strange man, gaunt and rugged, burnt up by the fire of His passion, spoke like a General, full of self-confidence, imperious and often fierce.
During the feast of Passover, thousands of Israelites gather to worship and to celebrate the deliverance from Egypt through the Mighty hand of God. They come from different parts of the world. Jerusalem is always crowded at this season. The Lord Jesus and His twelve apostles had assembled in a large upper room to eat the Passover. The Lord Jesus though being a Master became a servant by washing the feet of His disciples. He knew that He will be betrayed yet He humbled Himself to be a slave. He came to serve and not to be served. He blessed the bread and the wine gave it to them and said it was His body and blood. He signified that He was the Passover Lamb of God.
After the Last Supper, the Lord Jesus and His disciples went to Gethsemane. He was exceedingly sorrowful. As He prayed earnestly, His sweat was of great drops of blood. Having received all the information about the Lord Jesus from the betrayer Judas Iscariot, Pilate sent the Roman soldiers to arrest the Lord Jesus. For thirty pieces of silver Judas betrayed his Friend and his Master with a kiss. “Even my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me” (Psalms 41:9).
After the Lord Jesus Christ was arrested, all His disciples deserted Him and fled. He was bound in chains. He was scourged mercilessly. A crown of thorns was placed on His head. He was mocked and spat, beaten and bruised, tormented and tortured. He was bleeding from His head to foot. He was made to carry the cross. He lost lot of blood and could not move any further, and He fell. At that instant, a man named Simon of Cyrene was compelled to carry the cross.
During the Passover week amidst thousands of people, He was humiliated on the streets of Jerusalem. He who spoke like a General, performed mighty miracles, fed thousands in the same place in the same land for the same people, was led like a criminal. The gentle Lamb was led for the sacrifice. Everyone who had come there for the feast of Passover had to witness the gruesome vicarious sacrifice of the Holy Lamb of God.
As they reached Golgotha, a place of skull, He was nailed to the cross. Nail on both the hands, the nail on the legs, the pain was unbearable. The heavy cross was lifted and erected, and the agony was excruciating. After all humiliation and nailing Him to the cross, a lance was pierced. How cruel were His creation?
The Lord Jesus Christ shed His blood. His holy precious blood was shed for you, for your sins and for the sins of your family and your generation. His blood cleanses you, makes you holy and perfect. The Lord Jesus Christ stamped the Satan, every disease, problems, poverty and thedeath on that cross. He died on the cross and was buried in an empty tomb.
As He had prophesied earlier, after three days He resurrected Himself and proved that He was God in flesh. Death could not hold Him. Death had no power over Him. Death died on thecross. Death was defeated and the Lord Jesus Christ was victorious. Nothing could hinder Him or stop Him from doing His Father’s will. His mission accomplished, He ascended to the Heaven.
He touched many of the Roman soldiers who were part of the contingent that tormented Him and they took His word to many countries.
Imagine how much the Lord will be hurt when you go away from Him, commit sin,and dothings contrary to His will. Do not hurt the Lord. Be obedient to Him. The Lord has stretchedHis nail pierced hands for you, to embrace you.
The blood of the lamb on the door posts and the upper post of the Israelites door saved them from all the plagues, pestilences and curses. The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that He shed on the cross is much more powerful. There is no alternative for His Holy Blood. Oil and water are not the substitutes for His blood. It is more powerful than any medicine or vaccine ever discovered and that is being prescribed. His Blood is more powerful than any dangerous pathogens.
The Lord Jesus Christ offered Himself without spot to God. We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. He has purchased us with His own blood.
Meditate on the sufferings of Our Lord and as you meditate you will truly experience His presence, your burden lightened andremoved. You will be set free from all the bondages. Every day early in the morning as you wake up; kneel, stretch your hands surrender yourself, your spouse, your children, your entire family, and your house to Him. Ask the Lord to cleanse, sanctify and wash you and your family with His Holy Powerful blood. Not only your heart and your body but every item of yours including your garments. Plead to Him to baptize you with His Precious Blood. The Lord will forgive all your sins and shortcomings; He will cover you with His Holy Blood. Sickness, witchcraft and everything that is unclean, unholy and that which has been tormenting you all these years will flee. Satan and the hell will tremble even to look at you. The hell will see you as fire.
The Heaven and the hell are watching you. When you are covered by His Precious Blood theangels protect you and the devil will fear to touch you.
When you pray for healing, He heals, and you are healed. When you ask for blessings, He blesses, and you are blessed. And when you seek cleansing, He cleanses, and you are cleansed.
Do not fear man, do not fear evil, do not fear poverty and do not fear sickness. Fear God andGod alone. Honour God and Worship Him alone. Bow to Him and Him alone.
“Fear thou not; for I AM with thee: be not dismayed; for I AM thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).
