God Shows His Love For Us

Jesus Died for Us Bible Verses

The Significance of the Crucifixion of Jesus Scripture


What is Love of God Towards Us? Through this article, we are going to see the demonstration and power of God's love for us through the death of Jesus on the Cross. Thousands of years later, Jesus was taken to the whipping post and whipped beyond imagination, redeeming what Israel lost through disobedience. In Matt. 27:26 Jesus was given over to be scourged. Scourging was the cruelest form of punishment. The flesh was generally cut with horrible whips. Jesus was publicly lashed with a cat of nine tails thirty-nine times. These tails were nine leather throngs loaded with jagged pieces of metal or bone weighted at the end with lead. Under Jewish punishment, a prisoner could be given forty lashes, Deut. 25:3. 

What Other God Demonstrates the Love for Us?


Seldom were forty lashes ever given because to be whipped forty times was often fatal. Psalms 129:3, “The plowers plowed upon my back…” is a small picture of what Jesus underwent. Isaiah 50:6,” I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair.” 

Our Lord went through incredible wounding to redeem us from disease. Isaiah 53:5 says, “… by his stripes, we are healed.” The blood ran down on every exposed organ of his body, and because of that, we claim our healing in the name of Jesus by his shed blood.

Doctors have said that there are 39 known root diseases. Jesus was lashed 39 times, one time for
each root cause. He was beaten with the cat of nine tails, nine being the number of fullness. Each
disease was redeemed in its fullness. By his stripes, we are healed. Claim it!

Crown of Thorns

In Gen. 3:17-19, because Adam hearkened to the voice of is wife and ate of the tree which God
had forbidden, it brought a curse on the ground. The result is seen in Gen. 3:18: for now thorns and
thistles came forth out of the ground. A thorn has such a prick that every touch brings a wound. 

A thistle multiplies so quickly that some types of thistles are said to have as many as 3 to 400 seeds
within one head. These thorns and thistles injure the ground, choke the good seed, and destroy the
farmer's hopes. This caused Adam to do something he had never done before work by the
sweat of their brow. Gen. 3:19 says, “In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread.” Sweat first
appears on the brow when hard labor is done. 

Adam had never worked a sweat before sin entered. If we don’t understand we have been redeemed from the curse, then the land we go to work on, where we build our business, is still under the curse. We go to work, and we squeeze out a meager existence by the sweat of our brow. We work long hours never to have enough.

After Jesus was beaten, they put a crown of thorns on his brow. It is said that the thorns of the
crown are 3 to 31/2 inches long. As this was forced into his brow, he did not sweat, but blood ran down his face. Jesus shed his blood to break the curse of poverty off our land. Matt. 27:29 says the symbol
of poverty was placed on his head, and our freedom to work and walk in abundance was obtained.
Every day, as we work, we should see an abundant supply, not fruitless labor. Apply the blood from
the crown of thorns!

His Hands were Pierced


Gen. 1:26-28 says God placed all dominion and authority in the hands of Adam and Eve.
Because of sin, Adam and Eve lost that dominion and authority.

When the nails went through the hands of Jesus on the cross, and the blood ran down, his blood
redeemed our dominion and authority. Because of the blood-covered hands, we can lay hold of what
belongs to us in the name of Jesus Christ.

Look at the story of Joseph. Joseph was taken to Potiphar’s house. Even in that place, he
prospered. Gen. 39:2-3 says, “And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he
was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the Lord was with him and
that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.” We need to lay blood-covered hands on
all that is ours and take authority and dominion because of the nail-pierced hands of our Lord. Lay
your hands on yourself, your family, your business, and your church, and take back what was stolen in
the garden. Everything you put your hand to God will cause it to be proper. You have the authority to render everything you encounter harmless.

His Feet were Pierced

Deut. 28:13 says, "and the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be
above only, and thou shalt not be beneath…” This was God's promise to the children of Israel
if they would hearken to the commandments of the Lord. They didn’t obey, and we have the results.
Deut. 11:24 says, “Every place thereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours...”
When the spike went into the feet of Jesus, through his blood, dominion and authority were taken
back. When the blood ran down, his precious blood gave me back my position in my walk.
Wherever we are, the Kingdom of God is at hand. We have the authority to go into the enemy’s camp,
plunder his territory, and bind him in Jesus' name by the blood. 

God told Joshua in Joshua 3:3, “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you…” It is our time to claim what territory the enemy has stolen. Go forth, decreeing and declaring as Esther did when she reversed the curse Haman had decreed against her people. Jesus's feet were pierced to redeem our dominion and authority. Go with blood-covered feet, and like Joshua, be strong and courageous! Take dominion, your home, your city back, and regain all the enemy has stolen.

His Side was Pierced

The sixth place we have suffered loss is where the enemy came and broke our hearts. When the spear was thrust through Jesus’ side, blood and water poured down. Jesus knew what it was to have a broken heart. Judas betrayed him, and the multitude rejected him, saying, ‘Let him be crucified,” one in his inner circle denied that he knew him. 

One of the most heartbreaking things that happened to him was when he hung naked before his own mother on the cross. The greatest heartbreak he experienced was in Mark 15:34 when God suffered abandonment by his own father. He said, “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” His heart burst from grief, rejection, betrayal, and abandonment. The blood and water ran down from the agony of such grief that he experienced.

Medically, it is said that when you suffer such agony, your heart develops a sack of water around
it. The soldiers didn’t pierce his heart. Our Lord died of a broken heart, causing the water and the
blood to pour out for us. The joy of the Lord is stolen when your heart is broken. We have no
strength. Your whole life is affected. Forgiveness is the key to having your heart healed.

Jesus announced his ministry in Luke 4: 18-19, saying, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken
hearted…” We could claim back our hearts because the blood and water ran down. We can walk in the
joy of the Lord, be strong and safe, and live in an open heaven.

He Was Bruised for Our Iniquities

The last place we have suffered loss is in our emotions; that part of us is the inner man.
Isaiah 53:5 says, “He was wounded for our transgression; he was bruised for our iniquities…” A
bruise is bleeding on the inside. The Bible says that the sins of the Father are visited by the third
and fourth generations. That is called a generational curse. Many are suffering hurts on the inside
from iniquities that our forefathers passed down to us. This results from inner hurts and
bruises many times. Jesus was bruised so we could be healed from the inside out. Because of the blood, we can be healed physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

His blood was in the Garden of Gethsemane, Matt. 26: 30-44. Our first loss was through Adam & Eve’s disobedience in a garden, and now we see Jesus redeeming our will in a garden. He entered the garden, fully aware that he would redeem our wills. We see Jesus crying out to his Father three times, saying, “Not as I will but as thou wilt.” In Luke 22:43-44 it says that Jesus was in so much agony that sweat as drops of blood were falling to the ground.

Medical doctors say that intense fear and agony will cause blood vessels to break beneath the
skin, and blood will come forth like sweat. We have spent millions of dollars to say to our next
generation, “Just Say No!” It hasn’t worked. We should help this generation to understand the
power of the shed blood of Jesus in the garden and see the glorious victory come as they apply his
blood over their will. The greatest battle of mankind is God’s will over my will. The provision was
made through the blood. Claim it!

Whipped and Scourged

In the Old Testament, the Lord promised the children of Israel in Exodus15:26, “ If thou wilt
diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and
wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon
thee which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.” When God
said, ‘ I am the Lord that healeth thee,’ that name in the Hebrew is Jehovah Rophe. The children of
Israel disobeyed, and the same diseases that the Egyptians have we experience today.

Evaluating The Word of Prophecy

Evaluating the Word of Prophecy

Gift of Prophecy Characteristics


It was a special gift to discern whether those who prophesied were speaking from God.
The gift was given to distinguish between the Holy Spirit and the working of evil spirits.
There is also the view that the gift incorporated these abilities and many others.

Those who are in the Charismatic churches are familiar with prophetic words. We are told not to believe but to evaluate words of prophecy.

Since discernment of spirits is mentioned after the gift of prophecy, it provides an immediate clue as to its function. It is the ability to determine between what was a genuine revelation from God and what is false.

Personal Prophecy

(1 Timothy 4:14-15, HCSB) Do not neglect the gift in you; it was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of hands by the council of elders. Practice these things; be committed to them so your progress may be evident to all.

The Bible warns believers about Satan’s deceptions. So, how should we treat prophetic words or personal prophecy? Take it to the Lord. 

  • Try to record the prophetic word. 
  • Transcribe the word of prophecy.
  • Meditate on the Word
  • Check if it aligns with God's Word, or does it go outside the Bible?
  • Take it to an elder if unclear for them to pray about it with you.

Words of Prophecy


Prophetic words can be instant fulfillment and, often, in the distant future of maturity. To properly bear witness to a prophetic word, we must be able to discern between our human soul and our spirit.

The soul is where emotions, reasoning, imagination, physical senses, and feelings are.

When God's Spirit bears witness to our spirit that a personal prophetic word of God is correct and according to His divine will and purpose, our spirit reacts with the fruits of the Spirit.

Prophecy can be a new revelation or, often, confirmation of what the Lord has shown you. God will speak through prophecy to confirm things He has already spoken to you in your spirit. If the prophecy is of God, it will all come to pass, and we will fulfill God's will.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, Being Connected to God:

  • He will direct your path to stay on the right path
  • He will give you discernment about others' intent
  • He will let you know if there is danger. 
Operating in the prophetic evangelism. When I was in New Orleans doing outreach for the lost during Mardi Gras, we were going to go down a specific street, and I heard the Lord say, "Don't that it is a dangerous street." We didn't go down the street. The Lord will protect you. 

Through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, He will give you insight into His word. 

Next, teaching coming up: how do we operate in the prophetic anointing? How do we grow our gift in God's way?

The Robe Of Righteousness Revelation

The Robe Of Righteousness Revelation

What is the Robe of Righteousness?


Throughout the scriptures, the Lord covered us with the Robe of Righteousness. Unfortunately, many take it off, believing a lie about their identity, allowing people instead of God's Word to define them. What is your identity? Are you allowing God's Word to represent you or what others have said to you? The robe of righteousness is a garment of praise.

Nothing Separates us from the Love of God


Your unfailing love scripture.

Psalm 143

Psalm 143 A psalm of David.
1
O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
2
Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
3
The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
4
So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
5
I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
6
I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah
7
Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for I lift up my soul to you.
9
Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you.
10
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11
For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
12
In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.

Did you know there is nothing you can do to get more of His love and nothing you can do to lose His love? If you walk away from the Lord, it does not guarantee you will go to heaven. But Nothing Separates us from the Love of Christ.

Seven Steps to Maintain Your Deliverance

Seven Steps to Maintain Your Deliverance

Learn how to maintain your deliverance


The Bible says, "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty....." Matthew 12:43-44

Don't let the enemy gain reentry into your life. If he comes seeking rest, Put out your "NO VACANY" sign! Keep your house filled! Here are some practical steps to ensure you are filled with the spirit of the Lord when he comes.

Seven Steps for Retaining Deliverance

From Pigs in the Parlor by Frank and Ida Mae Hammond

An overview of how to maintain your deliverance by teaching on deliverance.

1. Put on the Whole Armour of God

The Christian’s spiritual armor is outlined in Ephesians 6:10-18. There are seven pieces: (1) Loins girt about with truth, (2) The breastplate of righteousness, (3) Feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, (4) The shield of faith, (5) The helmet of salvation, (6) The sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, and (7) Praying in the spirit! Pay special attention to the helmet for guarding your thought life. Most demons seeking to re-enter assail the thoughts. Become watchful of any thoughts that could be considered negative; they are from the enemy. Separate their thoughts from your own. Refuse the thoughts they give you and replace them with positive thoughts. (See Phil 4:8) Resist the devil at the first sign of attack.

2. Make Positive Confessions

Negative confessions characterize demonic influence. Positive confessions are faith expressed. Any other confession will open the door for the enemy. (See Mark 11:23)
Note: Remember, life and death are in the power of the tongue.

3. Stay in the Scripture

Jesus withstood Satan’s temptation by using scripture. The word is a mirror to the soul (James 1:22-25); it is a lamp unto the feet for guidance( Psalm 119:105); it is two-edge sword laying bare the heart (Heb 4:12); it is food for the spirit (1 Pet 2:2; Matt 4:4) No person can maintain deliverance apart from the Word of God as a primary factor in his life!

4. Crucify the Flesh

Take up your cross daily and follow Jesus. (Luke 9:23) Break old habit patterns. If fleshy appetites, desires, and lusts are not brought to the cross- a way for demons to return will be left open (Gal 5: 19-24)

5. Develop a Life of continuous Praise and Prayer

Praise silences the enemy. Praise is not an attitude of heart; praise is the expression unto God of thankfulness, adoration, and joy by speaking, singing, shouting, dancing, leaping, playing musical entrustments, clapping the hands, etc. Pray in the spirit (in tongues) and also in the understanding. (1 Cor 14:14). “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thess 5:17)

6. Maintain a Life of Fellowship and Spiritual Ministry

It is the sheep that wanders from the flock that is most endangered. Find and fulfill your function within the body. (See 1 Cor 12:7-14) Keep yourself under authority


7. Commit yourself Totally to Christ

Determine that every thought, word, and action will reflect the very nature of Christ. Abide in Christ that the fruit of the Spirit might come forth in abundance. Demon spirits are enemies of the fruit of the spirit. Faith and trust in God is the greatest weapon against the devil and his lies. (See Eph. 6:16)

Note: Doing these seven things will ensure that your “house” (life) is filled after being cleansed. No demon can return, much less bring any others in with him. (See Matthew 12:43-44) If one does trick you and regain entrance, see that he is cast out as soon as possible, either yourself or with the help of other believers. If other areas of demon activity are subsequently brought to light, seek deliverance. Jesus has made possible complete deliverance!

God's forgiveness is conditional

Relationship With God - God's Forgiveness is Conditional

  • failing to love and honor God;
  • failing to believe God's love;
  • living independent of God;
  • seeking fulfillment in things or others;
  • trying to do things for God to earn His acceptance;
  • believing God is more interested in our behavior than in a relationship with us;
  • being spiritually proud passed on our performance, abilities, or sacrifice.

Viewing God's forgiveness as incomplete or conditional results in our:


• believing God is angry with us and holding our sins against us;

• viewing ourselves as being on parole instead of fully pardoned;

• feeling emotional guilt and fearing punishment, which creates the distance in our relationship with God; and

• continually asking God for forgiveness but never experiencing the peace His total forgiveness brings.
