| were required of disobedience. Adam and Eve understood this and were very careful from then on to obey what God told them. He still spoke to them and helped them daily, but it was no longer the casual, easy conversation between two friends. Why did Jesus wait so long to come to save us? I don't think that mankind was mentally or spiritually able at the time of Adam and Eve, to appreciate what kind of sacrifice Jesus would give us. At that time, men were primitive, knowing no great calamities or pain. They would not have understood the language of forgiveness and sacrifice, without several hundred years of making mistakes and basking in their self pride. After many difficult years of attempting to keep the great Jewish laws that kept them separated from other nations on earth, the Jews can certainly appreciate the freedom of having the sin debt paid and all forgiven. After your own many mistakes and personal sorrows, learning that you can call out to God and He hears and brings relief, - allows you to be grateful for Jesus. This gift and this relationship between us and our God is too great and important to have been disposed of quickly. Also, the debt was too large to be understood. Satan today is still trying to ruin what God is working for. Thankfully, when Jesus died on the cross, He took back the authority and dominion over this plane of existence and He handed it back to His followers. Only those of us, who understand this and who will seek Him and the tools of power can be free from the yoke of bondage to Satan. The world wallows in misery, but you and I because of WHO we know, can be free and lead the way to freedom for the others. The power comes from the annointing, and the annointing comes from faith, and faith comes by the Word and the Word of God must be HEARD. Spoken out loud, taught by mankind to mankind. Angels cannot preach it, demons cannot speak it. The written word provides us with the spoken word. Learn to use it and to speak the name of Jesus as a special password, or credit card to give you access into the domain of power. It is only through Jesus and the work He did on the cross, that we have any right to speak to God at all, or to ask for anything. We by ourselves don't deserve it. We should be dead. But God is a great and wonderful God who has provided for our forgiveness and redemption. He has sent Jesus to be our reconciliation, and whosoever Jesus confesses before the Father, has a new birthright to stand before the throne of the Most High God. Children, if you only knew your true natures, and what you are made of, nothing on earth or in hell could stop you! At this late hour in history, God has been opening the seals to some very special information and understanding. Our eyes are able to see and our ears to hear what was spoken long ago but not revealed until this generation. At the same time, Satan has stepped up his activity and power unleashed on the earth, and we find ourselves in the middle of a giant battle. There is nothing to fear, though, beloved, because the Bible has already told us what the outcome of this battle will be. Jesus carefully outlined the things to come, and our part in it. We have much work to do to become ready so that we won't suffer any harm, but all the tools of His power and Love are at our command. Please join with me in practicing and perfecting the life and presence of Christ, so we may be victorious and stand unashamed at His coming. |
