The message for the beloved Children of God is - Crucified ! 

 

Let us start by giving God thanks for all that He has done for us. Jesus Christ knew that by bearing our sin, that He was going to endure a gruesome and horrific death.We need to get some understanding first, that Jesus trusted His Father fully and accepted His will. We are destined for sacrifice and death also. So, we must remember that, our Heavenly Father is in control of everything that is going on around us and to us. So, whatever trials that we face, understand that God is by our side, supporting us through it all. God limits the length and intensity of pain over your life. God won't or will not put more on us than we can bear. Think what it means to have the Lord, who knows all things and certainly, what is best for you, and to be guiding your life. Being a child of God is becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. A devoted disciple who gives his or her all to serve the Master and King! We must die daily to our flesh, not just in Church or Sunday. When you fail to die to self each day, you are walking in the "flesh," not the "Spirit."Dying to self is a conscious choice that one must make,nobody can make anyone change.Our life with Christ is not for an hour or two on Sunday, but literally 24/7. It is critical to make the choice to die to self each and every day. This is why Jesus always prayed to the Father. Jesus said follow me, He is telling us,"What you see me do, do yourselves.” Jesus prayed for Himself, His disciples, and all the true believers. Read John 17:1-5,These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. That is powerful, and He is still making intercession for the true believers now. Read Romans 8:34-36,Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Let us take a moment and thank God for a day that was not promised to us and make the conscious choice to completely surrender your life to Him today. I literally ask God to take my life and use it for His glory everyday,when I send the message it is for His glory, to use me as an instrument. When you do this,it is no longer you, but God that is in complete control of your life and dwell within you. You have traded in your thoughts and desires for God's thoughts and desires. Let us pray, Heavenly Father, not my will, but let your will be done in me. Let us learn from your word to do the will of the Father. It is not me Lord, but your Spirit that leads me.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
