Glorious Savior:
The Great Intercessor

People, brothers in Christ confess their sins, their shortfalls, their faults to me often…. Yes those are sins per the Bible and yet, the mercy of God in Christ’s perfect sacrifice is greater than all our sin. This salvific truth is never so clear than when our LORD stated on the cross that “It is finished” and in the glorious book of Hebrews (John 19:30). His blood speaks in Heaven for us at the right hand of the Father!!!! YESSSSS JESUS WE LOVE YOU. Book of Hebrews beloved saints!

We don’t have an expansive, a broad perspective of our LORD’s kingdom without knowing the divine truths given us in the book of Hebrews! Example: Where is Jesus? What is He doing?

Read Hebrews, asking your LORD to grant you a deeper revelation of who He is.

“Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. ¹²Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” Isaiah 53:10-12

In this most glorious chapter (Isaiah 53), God’s Word tells us that our Great Intercessor, Jesus Christ, “bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

In Spite of, Not Because of …..

Always remember that JESUS alone is the reason “we are more than conquerers.” Read it closely:

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US … WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS.” Romans 8:37; 5:8

You and I were never worthy of what God provided to purchase us back to Himself – in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. He did it not because of you but in spite of you – of your sin.

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. … 8 But God commendeth (exhibited) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6, 8

WHO FOUND WHO? WHO Rescued Who?

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. … We love him, because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:9, 10, 19

There are blessings untold that have been provided for God’s children through Christ our LORD by whom the Father reconciled us back to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19). The name, blood, and merit of Jesus Christ is our only and exclusive access to the Father! (Hebrews 1:1-3; 4:14-16; 7:24-26) Have you studied the book of Hebrews lately to begin to uncover the infinitely superior divine nature of the Testator of the New Covenant and the myriad of blessings He procured for us through His precious blood?

Praying in Christ’s Kingdom is Definitive and Absolute

In Christ’s kingdom, praying is not a guessing game or a roll of the dice. Believers don’t need to “make a wish” because they have a God who answers all their prayers! The Almighty Himself beckons His children to simply “ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

“And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:23-24

When God sent His only begotten Son to died and be raised again, it fully satisfied the righteous claims of His justice to redeem mankind.

1 Timothy 3:16 informs us that “God was manifest in the flesh” and that we know was the very Son of God. The study of Christ (Christology), that is, knowing just who Jesus is from the thorough study of His Word, will reveal to your heart all that He came to do. That is, you will begin to learn and to discover the myriad of benefits He died to purchase for His beloved people.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, ⁶And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. ⁷Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. ⁸I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:5-8

You are bought and paid for by the Alpha and Omega who is the beginning and the end of all things – the soon coming KING of all kings, the LORD of all lords (Revelation 19:11-14).

The complete lack of the preaching of Christ’s victory in the modern church is coming from a rebellious people who are making an indictment against God – saying He did not provide through Christ’s sacrifice, every single thing needed to have complete victory.

Capture this Profound Messianic Truth!

Jesus is praying for you in Heaven right now – just as He did when Peter struggled, when Satan sought to sift him.

“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I HAVE PRAYED FOR THEE, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.” Luke 22:31-32

PERFECT SAVIOR – PERFECT SALVATION
IF you are doing things GOD’s way, tell us all – WHAT has Heaven to give you except VICTORY? Jesus Christ is now in glory, in Heaven, assuring, applying enforcing, implementing, imposing, and administering the victory He died on the cross to procure for His beloved saints (Hebrews 7:24-26).

Now in Heaven at His Father’s right hand, He ever lives to provide what He died to purchase! (Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:24-26)

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:31-32

The salvation He provided is Himself who is the only Savior.

“I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Genesis 15:1

Jesus Christ is our all in all. He is our everything! Today, prayerfully pour over Colossians 1-2 in order to begin discovering the infinite riches of Christ – who He is!

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

The whole purpose of eternal life is that we get to know Jesus Christ and the Father who sent Him (John 17:3).

Knowing Him.

Seeking Him.

Loving Him.

Worshiping Him.

Die to self to know Him more.

Crying out with John the baptist, “He must increase but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)

Is it your deepest goal to know Jesus and the Father?

Where is your faith today beloved?

ANY person who doesn’t seek God daily in prayer and the Word does not have Jesus as “first love” and is hell bound! Repent now (Revelation 2:4-5).

God did not send His only begotten Son to make it possible for His people to simply use Him like a formula or magic wand to get what their own selfish, un-sanctified hearts desire. It’s only through personal, intimate, abiding relationship that God answers prayer. Read John 15. Romans 6:1-2 and many other Bible verses make it clear that saving grace abounds to no one-saved person who goes back into sin without repentance. Only those whom Jesus has saved and who abide/remain rooted in relationship with Him will be with Him in eternal glory.

“If ye abide (remain) in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7

It’s only in abiding in and obeying Christ that we are assured that our prayers will be answered by Him. Though such a truth is rarely spoken of in the apostate church world, this is an unchanging fact in the divine economy. There simply are no shortcuts.

It is the highest insult to the Father when people claiming to be His do not desire and seek to get to know Him and His Son intimately. Yet, those same self-serving souls want to use Him to get their own selfish desires answered by Him. Amazing betrayal!

“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts (your own selfish desires). ⁴Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” James 4:3-4

Are you learning of Him or do you simply seek to use Him to get what you want?

Is your deepest desire to know Him more and more?

Do you have an idol of the heart? (Ezekiel 14:3; Revelation 21:8) What / Who truly comes first in your life?

Do you love this world or the One who made it and died for you and is coming back soon?

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15

Beloved, as an ambassador for Christ, we must learn, observe, and offer the whole message of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Well, let’s say as we study the whole counsel of His blessed Word, maturing as His saints, we are all learning of the LORD a more complete view of His “so great salvation” and need to keep in mind and in our mouths the whole message of the Gospel (Hebrews 2:3). That would include divine mercy on the lost and on the believer who has sinned. Sin (as God defines it in His Word) is an offense Him who is “Holy, holy, holy,” and all sin violates Him – whether that be a lie, coveting in one’s heart, lusting, heresy, slander, stealing anything, or adultery, etc. (Hebrews 2:3; Galatians 5:19-21). The blood of Christ will wash away ALL sin upon confession and repentance (1 John 1:9). Saint, get a revelation of the full and complete salvation God provided us through our LORD Jesus’ blood!!!!! He offered the perfect sacrifice one time (Hebrews 10:12). Repentance is a must initially to be saved and ongoing as needed. Memorize 1 John 1:7. Did God do a complete or partial work through Christ in His salvation to the world?

“But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;¹³From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.¹⁴For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. ¹⁵Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,¹⁶This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;¹⁷And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.¹⁹Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,²⁰By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;²¹And having an high priest over the house of God;²²Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;).” Hebrews 10:12-23

Our Fellowship

“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3

We were made to know and fellowship with Christ and our Heavenly Father. This is the exact reason He made you.

Jesus Christ is divine (John 1, etc.). He is our Salvation who died on that cross, was buried, and raised again three days later, having purchased perfect and complete salvation to provide all we need and more – even the desire of the heart that is one with Him (Mark 11:24). As our Redeemer and Great Intercessor, Jesus Christ lives to provide what He died to purchase. His blood bought testament is in full force today for all who have come to Him in repentance and faith to be born again (Matthew 26:28).

What is Jesus Doing Now?

Read and listen to these words again, closely:

“But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” Hebrews 7:24-26

“ALL” of God’s many promises, covering every single area of this life, are fully available to you as a blood-purchased saint of Christ. The Father sent His only begotten Son to purchase you back to Himself and to give you the unspeakably rich inheritance of His kingdom. Read Ephesians 1-2 today prayerfully.

“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” 2 Corinthians 1:20

ONE thing is for certain saints – no prayer is answered because of how wonderful an intercessor one has been made to believe he or she is. JESUS CHRIST EARNED, BOUGHT, AND RATIFIED OUR PLACE WITH GOD WITH HIS OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD. Let’s openly reject the cheap substitutes which are lies. We are completely unworthy outside of HIM who bled to buy us back to Himself and His holy Father!!!! Now WHO, what mortal mere man or woman could compare to the matchless Son of the living God??!!!! All these false ministries teaching gullible, biblically-illiterate dupes about intercessory prayer and how it’s all based on THEM instead of JESUS …. no different than the roman catholic cult…. pure antichrist idolatry …. let’s be careful and discerning ….. we just need One and His name is JESUS …. He paid the ultimate price, shedding His precious, sinless, divine blood to give us full access to Himself and His blessed Father, who is now our Father!

Jesus Died to Give Us Full Victory! Listen here. | Prayer

It is to God’s glory that we walk in unison with Christ and appropriate “ALL his benefits.” (Psalms 103:2)

Psalms 103

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

³Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

⁴Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

⁵Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

⁸The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

⁹He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

¹⁰He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

¹⁴For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

¹⁶For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

¹⁷But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

¹⁸To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

¹⁹The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

²⁰Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

²¹Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

²²Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.”

To immediately increase your knowledge of the Savior, study the book of Hebrews and John 1.

Top 12 Missing Essential Doctrines in the Modern Church World! [podcast]

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR “CHURCH” OR FAVORITE PREACHER? It’s real simple… if they are not preaching the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel given to us in the New Testament, they are preaching “another gospel” and are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9).

“For MANY DECEIVERS ARE ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:7-11

Modern church wolves refuse to preach the original Gospel of Jesus Christ from the pages of Holy Scripture and in the power of the Holy Ghost. No, instead they preach sermonettes that cater to the self-worshiping idolaters they entertain and collect money from (2 Timothy 3:1-7). They don’t even use the King James Bible but rather some cheap counterfeit. Their ear-tickling topics range from healing damaged emotions, 5 love languages, best life now, recovery, learning to love yourSELF, coping platitudes, loneliness, psychobabble band aids, law of attraction, being a successful single, purpose driven delusionment, etc.

Fake “bibles” Exposed

LOTS of lying going on when we have counterfeits peddling affirmation without salvation, the “promise” of things “getting better” when their prey are heading straight to hell. Especially certain social media platforms are flooded with this false gospel coming out of “Christians.” There is no sin or repentance in their message which alone identifies it as a false gospel. You see, the things that are happening to the sinners around us are allowed by God in order to lead them to repentance and yet, the counterfeits among us are assuring those sinners it’s all going to get better and never giving them the 10 Commandments to show them they are sinners (Galatians 3:24) and then, leading them to Jesus (Romans 10:9-10, 13, etc.). 10 Commandments Evangelism

In the modern church world, there is …..

No cross. No Jesus. No blood. No judgment. No sin. No repentance. No hell. No readiness for the soon return of Jesus. No Heaven. No equipping preparation for ministry. No Scripture memory. No holiness. No Messianic prophecies and their fulfillment. No Christology. No fear of God. No repentance. etc., all of which are Bible doctrines essential to salvation and/or essential to sound foundation in Christ and are missing in the modern church world.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

The only reason we, each of us has been deceived in the past is due to our own biblical ignorance (Proverbs 24:5; Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:15). Lacking the knowledge of the Word, we didn’t see what they were LEAVING OUT. We didn’t know to discern what they were teaching and what they were NOT teaching. Now, as we grow in the knowledge of the LORD through diligent daily study of His Word, we know to look for the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith.

THE TOP ESSENTIAL BIBLICAL DOCTRINES NEVER HEARD IN THE APOSTATE MODERN CHURCH WORLD!

The divinity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-4, 14; 1 Timothy 3:16). | Jesus Christ is God
The virgin birth of the only begotten Son of God (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). | The Virgin Birth of Jesus
The essential precious blood of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 9:22; 1 Peter 1:18-19). | The Blood

The essential of enduring to the end to be with Christ eternally, initial and final salvation (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-30; Revelation 2:26). | Enduring to the End
The essential daily cross, the crucified life, which Jesus required in following Him (Luke 9:23-24). | Living the Crucified Life
Forgiving all others from the heart (Matthew 18:21-35). | Forgiveness

Hell (Matthew 8:12; Mark 3:29; Luke 16:19-31). | Hell
Fearing God (Psalms 2:11; Luke 12:4-5). | Fearing God

When’s the last time you heard verses like this in the modern church?

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

“Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Luke 17:33

The modern church is going down in flames into the flames of hell. It cannot be reformed. Come out from it.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

In 2 Timothy 4:3 to “endure sound doctrine” means to hold oneself accountable to it. WHAT’s at the root of those who refuse to “endure sound doctrine”? – They simply do not love Jesus like He commanded them to (Matthew 22:37-39). They profess Christ as Savior and yet love self supremely and therefore serve the god of self. The Holy Ghost through Paul told us this of those who have a mere “form of godliness” in the last day resumé found in 2 Timothy 3:1-7.

Notice by divine design the very first thing he reveals is that “men shall be lovers of their own selves.” All the following evil comes out of self love, refusal to love God supremely and therefore repent, deny self, take up the cross and follow Jesus:

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7

God is toppling all the heart idols (Ezekiel 14:3)… because He’s Jealous and wants us looking to Him and not these mere men, these vile wolves, these celebrity sinners posing as His representatives (Exodus 34:14).

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:14

Fulfilling Your Calling [podcast]

“And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Colossians 4:17

MINISTRY which pleases God is simply helping people know and grow in Christ for themselves – by the cross life and getting into HIS Word for themselves so they can follow HIM, not you! True ministry fosters in the hearers faith in God, not the preacher or local church organization! Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5.

Your communications and ministry are fed and fueled by your personal daily study and knowledge of God’s Word (Proverbs 22:17-21; 2 Timothy 2:15).

Ephesians 4:1-14

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” Ephesians 4:1-14

Swept Away in the “Strong Delusion” [podcast]

Recorded at a fellowship in Houston, Texas

God Himself personally sends a “strong delusion” to all who do not love His truth so that they WILL believe lies. He greases their pole to hell. That’s how personally He takes it when people call Him a liar by not believing His Word.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8
