Concerning The Cross Nine

The foundation for overcoming. The foundation for overcoming, in the joy, and security, of everlasting, and eternal life, has been proven to rely on the everlasting life of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Lord's continued love through his mercy, his sacrifice, and his grace. The blood of the Lamb is sufficient for new testament redemption, and was necessary for old testament atonement, with the demanded requirements, and the need for the assistance of many men. The blood of the Lamb, for the Purpose of redemption, was pre-ordained from the foundation of the world, and wrought by one man, Jesus, The Christ. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11)

Guiding Question; how did God's chosen People reach this critical position, that God would reject them in prayer?

Guiding Question: What does God's people do next?

The Love of Christ, Faith, humbleness, and human need's beyond the believer's ability. And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. (Luke 7:2)
Seeking the Lord for solutions. Both the believer and non-believer will face situation's that only the Lord can fix, and when he does, he must learn to seek the Lord, in humbleness, and faith. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. (Luke 7:3)
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, that he was worthy for whom he should do this: (Luke 7:4)
For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. (Luke 7:5)
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof. (Luke 7:6)
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. (Luke 7:7)
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, go, and he goeth; and to another, come, and he cometh; and to my servant, do this, and he doeth it. (Luke 7:8)
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel. (Luke 7:9)
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. (Luke 7:10)

Any and everybody can be saved. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:21) Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: (Acts 2:22) Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: (Acts 2:23) Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of Death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. (Acts 2:24)

The foreknowledge of God. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. (Acts 2:25) Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: (Acts 2:26) Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Acts 2:27) Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. (Acts 2:28) Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Summary

What do we do? The question of how do we change our situation, or even our behavior, and especially God's view of what we are doing, and have become, is an ongoing question. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. From this lesson, the student can initiate a stating point in life. This preacher have been, where you have been, and perhap, gone through some of what you may have gone through, in life, but made a change. Maybe I didn't go through the exact things, but have experienced the feeling of lostness, and lack of joy, and in some cases, I had suffient money, and things. If you living a life that is misguided and has no direction, you can turn around, and away, from that life, and choose a life with better direction and guidance, and intead of having a life, going no where, and will only lead to death, you can choose a life leading to everlasting life, a life of joy peace, and happiness, no matter what is going on around you. The life you seek is the life that is of Christ and now rooted in you. The Good Fruit.
