Jesus Christ & Him Crucified

Through all the many “deliverances” …through  “sozo” sessions, “guardians of the soul” and every other extra-biblical experience I have endured in the “name of Jesus”, being tossed from one “ministry” to another like a pin on a pinball machine, each one seeming to leave me more damaged than the one before, I have learned one thing: That I have nothing outside the name of Jesus…I can look to no person…to no ministry…All I have is Christ and Him Crucified: I have lost everything else (Phil 3:7). The Cross…the Sacrifice is all that remains. Everything has fallen, except this One thing. There is nothing else for me…nowhere left to run…except to His Cross…where I am undone: Where I am crucified…where I am born again to a new life…where I am free. It is here that I must dwell…daily…hourly…sometimes minute by minute - and how often do I fail. But Lord you are still good…you are still, always have been, and forever will be God…You and you alone will finish what you started in me (Phil.1:6)…You will turn what was meant for evil into good (Genesis 50:29)…You will give me a willing heart that I will run in the Way of your precepts (Psalm 51:12). You will show me your Salvation (Psalm 91:16). I will see your goodness while I’m here in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). I will not die but live and proclaim the Salvation of the Lord (Psalm 118:17). Wait for Him…be strong and very courageous…and WAIT for Him (Psalm 27:14)

…as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. (2Corinthians 4:18)

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

(1Corinthians 13:8-13)

So I f I walk with a limp what does it matter, so long as I walk with the Lord. (2Corinthians 12:7-10; Genesis 32:31)

(Additional note: Every healing and deliverance session I experienced, always seemed to be centered around me: But I never truly experienced healing or deliverance until it stopped being about me {until I embraced the Cross and allowed Him to crucify my flesh} and it became about Jesus Christ and Him crucified)

The answer is always and only in the Cross: The beginning and the end of everything MUST BE Christ and him crucified…otherwise our “Christianity” is in vain.
