“You are busy analyzing the Scriptures, frantically poring over them in hopes of gaining eternal life. Everything you read points to me, yet you still refuse to come to me so I can give you the life you’re looking for—eternal life!” John 5:39-40(TPT)
Religion always likes to analyze the scriptures leaving out the critical subject of the Savior.
Jesus Christ’s life and purpose is to redeem man through the path of the Cross.
This Passion week started with Palm Sunday yesterday.
We again start the celebration of Easter.
Which is about His Death and Resurrection.
Many would love to have Christ without the Cross.
The Cross involves being able to say as Jesus did :
“… for the ruler of this dark world is coming. But he has no power over me, for he has nothing to use against me. I am doing exactly what the Father destined for me to accomplish so that the world will discover how much I love my Father. Now come with me.”
John 14:30-31 (TPT)
How is your personal relationship with God?
Can you say, like Jesus did, that the enemy has nothing to use against you?
Are you doing exactly what the Father has instructed you to do?
” from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” 1 Chronicle 12:32 (NIV)
Yes, we are in the end times.
Antichrist is at work:
However, bigger and better.
The Holy Spirit is also working and always ahead.
Are you ready for the Rapture?
Share with someone today about the Love of God.
It was His Love that took Him to the Cross.
Do not live in fear; that’s never God’s way.
Easter is about the demonstration of God’s Power.
God’s Power through the Cross Conquered sin.
“…Jesus said, “I was born a King, and I have come into this world to prove what truth really is. And everyone who loves the truth will receive my words.” John 18:37 (TPT)
The Truth and the Power are in the Death and Resurrection of the Savior.
“I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s Power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense Power as it works through you! This is the mighty Power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm!”
Ephesians 1:19-20(TPT)
Are you an advertisement of His Power?
As you celebrate this Easter Season, let your life demonstrate the Power of God.

Walk away from your sin.
“A short time later, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “Look at you now! You’re healed! Walk away from your sin so that nothing worse will happen to you.” John 5:14(TPT)
Walk away from your sin.
Go and sin no more.
Stop sinning.
Are you walking in the Spirit Daily to ensure that you live victoriously?
Living under Grace is no excuse to continue in sin.
“ Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the Grace of God. What are we to do, then? Should we sin to our hearts’ content since there’s no law to condemn us anymore? What a terrible thought! “
Romans 6:14-15(TPT)
Again Jesus told the woman of Samaria Go and sin no more. (John8:11)
As you walk with God remember the Greater one lives in you.
Therefore live like an overcomer.
No excuses to continue to live in sin.
No sin too big for God not to be able to forgive you.
None so tiny that you will hide it from God and say it does not matter.
God sees everything and knows everything.
He has given You the ability to go and sin no more.
Call upon Him.
Confess all to Him.
Will you?
Yes, you can walk away from your sin.

We have all of these great witnesses who encircle us.
“As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us” Hebrews 12:1(TPT)
How are you running the Faith Race this morning?
We must remember that we are not alone.
Others have gone ahead of us
Many many are still coming behind us
You occupy a unique position in this marathon race.
You must hand over that baton of Faith given to you successfully.
As you run this race, where is your focus?
Remember this Hymn:
“My Faith looks up to thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray
Take all my guilt away
O let me from this day
Be wholly thine!” (Ray Palmer -1830)
Where is your Faith looking up to today?
“We look away from the natural realm, and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed Faith within us and who leads us forward into Faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!” Hebrews 12:2(TPT)
Keep Your Eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ:
In all times.
In all situations
In all circumstances.
HE will see you through.

You keep every promise you’ve ever made to me!
“You keep every promise you’ve ever made to me! Since your love for me is constant and endless, I ask you, Lord, to finish every good thing that you’ve begun in me!” Psalm 138:8 (TPT)
God always keeps His promise.
He does not let you down.
He is not too busy to attend to your matter.
He is still working with you.
Whatever HE has promised you based on His word will come to pass.
“God is no mere human! He doesn’t tell lies or change his mind. God always keeps his promises.” Numbers 23:19(GW)
Where are you today in your journey in life?
What is outstanding in the vision He has given you?
Keep your focus on Him.
He will come true for you.
Remain Faithful.
Keep Praising Him.
Let your confession line up with His Word for you.
“I pray with great faith for you because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this gracious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!”
Philippians 1:6 (TPT)
His Mercies and Love are new and available for you each day. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Don’t despair because those who don’t know God seem to be getting ahead.
David at a time thought so too.
However, he quickly understood better, hear him:
“Don’t follow after the wicked ones or be jealous of their wealth. Don’t think for a moment they’re better off than you. They and their short-lived success will soon shrivel up and quickly fade away, like grass clippings in the hot sun.” Psalm 37:1-2(TPT)
Again remember this :
“All who do evil are shameless, but the Lord does right and is always fair.
With the dawn of each day, God brings about justice.”
Zephaniah 3:5(CEV)
It’s another beautiful day.
God has never failed.
Indeed, He will not fail you.

Refuse to be a critic full of bias toward others
“Refuse to be a critic full of bias toward others, and you will not be judged. For you’ll be judged by the same standard that you’ve used to judge others. The measurement you use on them will be used on you” Matthew 7:1-2(TPT)
Simply put:
Do not judge others.
“For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office.” Rom. 12:4. (KJV).
Everybody is not the same.
Everybody cannot do the same thing.
That is good. Just think if everybody could just do the same things the same way.
Except for being boring, how little would be done?
The problem is you may expect another person to do what you can, and just as good as you.
This sometimes creates friction.
What do you say to your friend when he could not do what you expected of him?
What did you do when he expected something from you?
Why do you judge others if you cannot do what they can?
Have Empathy towards others.
Put yourself in their shoes before you “condemn” the action they took
Don’t just say, “they should have known better.’
What can you do to make them a better person?
Do not judge.
Find Grace from God.
Before you lash out at that person:
Ask again from the Holy Spirit if that is what you should say?…
