Morning Bliss: The Cross for my sake_


Focal Scripture : Isaiah 53:5; He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities."

                   Read: Isaiah 53:3-7


It was love that sent Jesus to the cross. It was "the joy set before him" that kept Jesus on the cross. But it was our sins that necessitated the cross.

Why couldn't Jesus simply come to earth and preach and call for repentance and then go back into heaven? Why was it not good enough for him to live a perfect life and then return to his Father in heaven? It was because sins, before a holy and just and good God, require punishment.

Because God is just, he will not allow us to go free without punishing our sins. That would be like a judge letting a convicted serial killer back onto the streets. 

Because God is good, He will avenge every one of the countless wrongs in the world. He will not allow victims of violence and deceit to be victims for ever.

Most importantly, because God is God, He will not allow his holy character and position to be ignored and violated without consequence. Therefore, our sins must be paid for.

The great beauty and tragedy of the cross is that there the perfect Jesus received the wounds for our transgressions, There, He was bruised because of our sins. He chose to take our place and receive our punishment.

How can we dare to willfully sin any more, knowing that precisely those sins were what caused the great wounds of our great Savior? 

Today, do not allow sin to rule your mortal body, for sin has already lost dominion over You! Rom.6:14.

 You have Grace to live Holy, not Grace to live in sin and be receiving forgiveness. Forgiveness is necesary, but all men in Christ already have the Grace to live above Sin. The very Grace we received was the Nature of Jesus, and That is Life! We Have life, that supercedes Death caused by sin.

Morning Bliss: Sin through One Man' Focal Scripture : Romans 5:12; Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."                  Read: Romans 5:12-16 Can one man make a difference? Human history shouts in the affirmative. One man, one woman, one child can have an enormous impact, either for good or evil. Adam, by eating of the fruit which God had forbidden, plunged himself and all his posterity into sin. And the inevitable result of sin was death. The world is full of "if onlys". If only Adam had not eaten of that fruit! If only the people had listened to Noah's preaching! If only Moses had not lost his temper! If only Peter had stood up for Jesus! On the other hand, the world is full of "what ifs". What if Abraham had not faithfully followed God's command? What if David had not stood up to Goliath? What if Paul had not written to the churches?...

Morning Bliss: Focus On Jesus_ Focal Scripture : Luke 10:20 - 'Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.'                                      Read: Luke 10:20   We were never instructed to have a Ph.D. in demonology.  However, some justify focusing on Satan and his activity to an inordinate degree.  This will actually encourage demonic activity and become a device that Satan can use against us. As Paul said, we should not be 'ignorant' of Satan's devices.  We certainly need to know that the devil and demons exist, and we need to recognize when we are facing demonic activity. But we need to keep our focus on the Lord. Some people who are excessive in 'spiritual warfare' actually spend more time talking to the devil each day than they do talking to God.  That's not r...

https://anchor.fm/eric-michael/episodes/Power-Of-Perception-e5184k  Power Of Perception   There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking. — William James ■ YOU ARE BORN UNAFRAID The child is born with no fears, except those of falling and loud noises. All other fears have to be taught to the child as he or she grows up. The two major fears we all develop are the fear of failure or loss and the fear of criticism or rejection. We begin to learn the fear of failure if we are continually criticized and punished when we try some- thing new or different. We are shouted at and told, “No! Get away from there! Stop that! Put that down!” Physical punishment and the withholding of love, possibilities that scare us and make us feel insecure, often accompany these shouts and criticisms. We s...
