Cosmos

Imagine being tormented to death in public display,
with no one else to turn to,
with no one else to soothe His pain
with screams so deafening that it falls on deaf’s ears,
and hung on knowing it necessary to endure till the very end
but the journey was nonetheless painfully lonely,
that no one person could understand what going through His mind,
what were His intentions, what were His deepest thoughts,

He had people who worshipped the ground He walked on,
yet in their midst, He knows that they know not of what is in His heart,
which, eventually got betrayed and broken into pieces

He is, no other than He, Jesus.
Jesus the perfect expression and embodiment of God,
went through sufferings, physically and emotionally,
to the degree of abandonment, forsaken by all, at the Cross.

Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

If you have wondered, whether there would be any single soul in this world, who could possibly understand your lonliness, don’t forget that Jesus does, because He has never forgotten about you, you have never once in eternity, left His mind.

Isaiah 49:14-16
But Jerusalem said, “The Lord has left me;
the Lord has forgotten me.”

We behave less defensive towards people, when we are secure of our righteousness of Christ. Knowing how blameless we are in God’s eyes, we would remain at peace even when dealing with criticisms, especially when  we make mistakes, we still have Jesus to refer to, as our identity and true nature.

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle (special messenger) of Jesus Christ, to those who have received (obtained an equal privilege of) like precious faith with ourselves in and through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ — 2 Peter 1:1 (AMP)

May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue)

— 2 Peter 1:2-3 (AMP)

Righteousness by faith isn’t the ‘new’ Gospel, but it is the Gospel.

It seems new to alot of believers because so much mixture had infiltrated our teachings since people started to doubt the goodness of God, His unmerited favor of granting us justification by faith, Jesus’s faith.
When I share the gospel of grace with the new Christians friends I come across, they often look at me strange, a girl from the far east preaching the Gospel in the wild west, in ways that contradict from what they have been learned in their own neighbourhood churches.
The surprise look on their faces saddens me, of how much they have been missing out, from the liberty of God’s truth, the truth of His grace. The riches of God’s grace, the unending supply of our heavenly inheritance. And most importantly, the rest we receive from knowing that we are effortlessly established by God’s grace and not by our self-preservation.

I pray for the Gospel of Grace to breakout here in Europe too. Grace is the source of revival, just as it is the source of our life and salvation, which has to first outbreak within the churches. Restoration and renewal of the mind  to begin within the members of Jesus’s Body, we have to be well-fed (believe right) before we can have the strength to feed others (with the right beliefs). Preach undiluted Grace and you will be magnifying Jesus. Preach Jesus’s obedience and people will be set free. Preach God’s unmerited favor and people will fall crazy in love with Jesus and His body like never before, knowing just how much God loves them unconditionally, regardless of their performance. Preach Grace and people will start regining in life and in health, minds and bodies made whole.

Thank You Papa, for giving us this precious truth about who You are and what it truly means to be Your Child, about who we are, our position and identity in Christ. Thank You Papa that Your Grace is soverign as well here in Europe and You have great plans for the churches here, there will be extreme ‘renovations’ of minds and hearts, at the revelation of Grace. Let our knowledge of Your Grace and Truth be ever-increasing and ever-intimate, that is true to Your nature of unconditional love. Thank You Lord, in Jesus’s name, amen.

Jesus easily tops your chart without much effort, when you already know He is your source, your author and finisher, the only way,truth and life, apart from His love we can do nothing! That’s how humility preceds honour, we have honoured Him by acknowledging that He is the only Person needful, our all in One and One in all :)

When God addresses us, He affectionately calls us His beloved ‘Child’ in whom He is well-pleased, not adult, not minister, not any other title but simply ‘My Child’.
Does a child cries?
Does a child whines?
Does a child crave for attention?
Does a child has wants and needs?
If all yes, then why are we stopping ourselves from being the apple of the Father’s eyes? Why restrain ourselves with such tight formalities and emotional control, when the person we should be most free to express ourselves to is our Creator, our Daddy God? Does God need our formality when He already knows the deep intents of your heart?
God desires for you just the way you are, come boldly to Him just the way you are, whether in tears or frustrations, our Abba is willing to listen and embrace you just the way you are. Drop the pretense and restrictions, come to Him as a child would freely surrender in the security of the Father’s Love.

Jesus is our Lover, we the center of His affection..if that’s case, isn’t it weird if we have to get His beloveds to be excited about God, to ‘get on fire for Jesus’ ? It’s like being reminded that you have to be excited about your relationship with your spouse, which isn’t necessary when you are already so in love with each other. Knowing Jesus’s love for us, is the surest way to set any hearts on fire. It’s not about magnifying the enthusiasm or the zeal, it’s about magnifying God’s Love, beholdng the person of Jesus, and all the romance and excitement will follow :)
