About The Cross

There's a lot more that happened that day on the Cross, than most people have been taught. It seems that the same people who never learned how to rightly divide the splits in God's word may have also taught the world their version of what happened on the cross. 

​​

The Cross is the foundation and birthplace of everyone's salvation and reconciliation to God. In fact, when we return to Golgotha and meditate on Yeshua (Jesus) being beaten, whipped, nailed to that cross, then lifted up for hours... it has supernatural power to break chains because we are returning to the birthplace of what is inside us. Some people even imagine the names of people they don't like carved into the wood right beside their name, and how His blood ran down over the names equally...

​​

But the real power lies in knowing what happened in that one hour, that afternoon. Leading up to that hour, Jesus had said, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” See John 12:23-24. And, “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’?  No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” See John 12:27. And, "Now the son of man is glorified and God is glorified IN him. If God is glorified IN him, God will glorify the son in Himself, and will glorify him at once".  See John 13:31,32

 

Jesus said ‘the whole reason for His coming to earth’ was for that "one hour" on the Cross. We all know He shed His blood but few understand that when the Apostle wrote about Jesus saying, "and once made perfect, He became the ..." it was about Jesus' spirit becoming perfect at gracefully accepting whatever God allows - which is the perfection He is trying to grow in us - which is how heaven was before the rebellion. Like a farmer, God needed perfect "seed" to put His glory into. Perfect seed to "glorify at once", to produce 'many glorified seeds'. 

​

We know Jesus’ soul went to the core of the earth to preach Good News to the captives there for three days, so God likely didn’t glorify Jesus’ soul that very hour. And we know Jesus’ body laid in the tomb for three days, so God didn’t glorify his body that very hour either. So the only thing God could have glorified 'that very hour’ was Jesus’ spirit - just as it says in Luke 24:36 “Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.”

​

When God put His own Glory "in" His Son's spirit, it created a "Precious Treasure" of trillions of "Kernels of Wheat" for God to 'plant' in the soil of people's hearts. Jesus had been saying that when He gets lifted up on the cross "everyone will know that He was the son of God", then when He died all those people that had been standing there sneering at Him, sighed and said, "Surely, He was the son of God" because of what went out into them. Since then, God gives this same deposit to all people "when they come into this life", just as it says in John 1:9 NKJ or older. When God told Jeremiah about His New Covenant with His creation, God said He would "write" and "place" something in people's "inner most being" and "heart". This precious treasure is a deposit of Jesus' glorified spirit that God places in all people as they take their turn on earth as a human being. Regarding this miracle, God told Jeremiah, "No longer will a man teach his brother or say to his neighbour 'know the Lord', for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, and I will remember their sins no more". The word "know" meant people will have an intimate presence of this deposit inside them. This, plus the fact that God has been "remembering people's sin no more" should strike terror in the hearts of all the people walking around saying, "Do you know Jesus?" or "Have you received Jesus into your heart?" or constantly pointing out people's 'substandard' outward behaviours as "sin". If that's you, God knows who put you up to it, so go tell them they screwed up royally... Paul understood most of this, and in fact when I say "Precious treasure" I am using what Paul wrote.

​

Jesus's 'Parable of the Sower' explains the adversity we all face in growing this "deposit" in us, by allowing this deposit to transform us through our life. Hebrews 6:7-8 explains the seriousness of our responsibility to grow it. It says "Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed, receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned."  But there has been a terrible darkness on earth that blinds people of this gift within them. You can read this page 10 times over morning coffee, and then get up and forget about who is in you before you even get to work. That's because of the darkness in the world, not because of a bad memory or a lack of love for the Lord.  Jesus said, "The worries of this life and the desires for other things" choke out this growth or transformation in people. So it helps to surround yourself with people who believe this gift is inside all people, to the point where they see charity as a way to help this growth occur by reducing the "worries of this life" in others. John 1:9KJV is one Biblical "Proof" that this "Precious Treasure" has been in YOU since you were born.  Here's a 2nd proof...

 

Paul said in Galatians 1:15,16, “But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me, so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.”   It says that God revealed to Saul, that the 'glorified spirit of Jesus' was already in him - and this happened on the road to Damascus, while Saul was on his way to persecute Christians!  So the Precious Treasure was inside Saul, without Saul's effort or invitation!  Saul became Paul that Day, due to this life-altering revelation. 

​

At about 10 years old I had the same experience as Paul. I had never heard any gospel, yet as the lady at children's Sunday school began to read John 3:16, I heard within myself, "Heard it a 1000 times. Known it for 2000 years..." and then felt a 'fire of the most perfect love' rise up inside my belly. God revealed something or more respectfully, 'someone' inside me that day. Maybe you've experienced this too?

​

The Gospel Paul preached revolved around 'The Glory of God in Christ in ALL people' - this is why the Apostle Paul taught his disciples, "DO NOT look at anyone as though they are worldly" because they have it in them too! This is why Jesus said that if He be "lifted up on the Cross, He would (gain the ability to) 'draw ALL' men and women to Himself" through the course of their life from inside them. So no matter what behaviour you or someone else displays, it cannot separate you from this Glorious Deposit in you as long as you are alive - thus it being called "The 'acceptable' Day of the Lord". It's like a teaching/training/recording device placed in each person, that in the end stops their spirit from dissipating when they die. To John, it was the True Light given to each person as they come into this life. To Satan, it was his worst nightmare - which is why all the false gospels blind people from this one small aspect of the cross.

 

If people's unbelief had the power to stop Jesus from doing miracles in some towns, then unbelief is a weapon against God. Satan is the one behind cunning translations of the Bible, blinding the world about the Glory of God in Christ in all people. Satan is the one behind all Bible-based religions that conceal what you have just read. Habakkuk 2 says he is doing this "to escape his ruination". So just how far is he willing to go to stop people from using their belief to empower the gift within them?  Well, the "mischevious device" talked about in Psalm 21 "Which he is not able to perform" includes things like loading people with toxic substances that greatly increase electrical conductivity inside people. If allowed to complete their plan, frequencies will be used to stop the human mind from empowering this gift in people through the faith part of their brain. A desperate attempt by a cunning fallen angel. Isn't it something that as God prepares to fulfill Habakkuk 2 about "Filling the earth with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea", Satan has been feverishly working at his plan to stop people from being physically able to believe in it!  

​

NOTE:  Just to be clear, there are other things to be added to the precious treasure in us. Things like John's water baptism, and baptisms of the Spirit, fire and power, and many spiritual gifts - but the "kernel of wheat" is given at conception or birth, according to John 1:9 KJV - and this knowledge makes us able to stop judging people based on worldly standards and instead love and respect all people equally.
