| It Is Finished! 5/6/15 John 19:30 (KJV)
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. FINISHED-from <G5056> (telos); to end, i.e. complete, execute, conclude, discharge (a debt) :- accomplish, make an end, expire, fill up, finish, go over, pay, perform. Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary. Strangely, but after these many years, I awakened today with a SONG in my head and heart. I say I cannot imagine how or why this particular song was there, but again, after ALL these years of ministry, I well know how or why!!! The song, "IT IS FINISHED," by Bill and Gloria Gather. Many years ago my choir and orchestra did an excellent job performing this masterpiece of a song, but it has been quite a while since I heard it, never the less thought of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxaAmNuL7BU Jesus "ACCOMPLISHED, MADE AN END. FILLED UP, FINISHED, WENT OVER, PAID, PERFORMED" it ALL!!!!! Colossians 2:15 (KJV)
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Just as the Apostle Paul told testified before King Agrippa, "NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE HIDDEN" from him or US today!!! Acts 26:26 (KJV)
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. But, with these being "THE LAST DAYS" there HAS come "SCOFFERS, WALKING AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS." 2 Peter 3:3 (KJV)
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, Have You heard THEM saying: 2 Peter 3:4 (KJV)
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. Sadly, but true, of this TRUTH many are "WILLINGLY IGNORANT!!!" 2 Peter 3:5 (KJV)
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: "IT IS FINISHED, THE BATTLE IS OVER! IT IS FINISHED AND JESUS IS LORD!" The WONDERFUL and GREAT News for we, the BELIEVERS is: Hebrews 4:9 (KJV)
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. "IT IS FINISHED, THE BATTLE IS OVER! IT IS FINISHED AND JESUS IS LORD!" Hebrews 4:9-10 (KJV)
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. WE live is a world gone mad! Fussing and fighting abound all around us! But WE, "the SERVANTS OF THE LORD MUST NOT STRIVE!!" 2 Timothy 2:24 (KJV)
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, STRIVE-middle of an apparently primary verb; to war, i.e. (figurative) to quarrel, dispute :- fight, strive. Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary. My friend, David Wilkerson wrote several years before he died: "I AM (X number of years old) AND HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE!!!!!" Today, "fill in the BLANK" number of years and repeat the words of that great man of God: I AM (X number of years old) AND I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE!!! "IT IS FINISHED, THE BATTLE IS OVER! IT IS FINISHED AND JESUS IS LORD!" God needs not OUR sweat: Ezekiel 44:17-18 (KJV)
17
And it shall come to pass,
that
when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat. Ezekiel 44:18 (GW)
18
They must wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments. They must not wear anything that makes them sweat.
TODAY, may each of US: Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
