Scriptures: John 6:53-54, 2 Corinthians 1:4-5

How does God set us Free? Fill us with "Life"!

John 6:53-54 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)

53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

54 Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day

This scripture has puzzled me a lot. God cannot lie. So it's true. We need to visualize ourselves drinking the blood of Jesus and eating his body. But isn't that cannibalism?

 

The gospel is foolishness to our carnality, our flesh, the world because it is wrapped in wisdom that comes from God to save our souls, our minds. Please take time to receive the understanding, you already know, but have never thought about it.

Medicating our Pain with anything! Leads to anguish and more torture, more suffering. Because we need to keep increasing the dosages.

God gave us our senses. So many times I have tasted something or smelled something, whether good or bad, and it seems like it gets stuck in my mouth or in my throat. It can be awful. Someone says they have a headache then I remember what a headache feels like.

Jesus said: "Do this in memory of me!" Jesus blood is perfect, his body is perfect. When we determine to eat his body and drink his blood we are flooded with his purity, his holiness. We are taking Jesus into us.

Have you ever cried over a movie, felt the pain of a friend, the joy of someone else's happiness?

Our feelings and emotions are a gift from God when used correctly. Meditating/medicating on the purity of Jesus; how holy he is, how he suffered by being falsely accused, suffered by being punished for crimes he didn't commit, how he suffered as a rebel, suffered being beating, seeing his blood, seeing his body shredded; know that blood is pure, that body is pure, clean, we eat and drink it by dwelling on it, it is the supernatural power of God. We are sharing in Jesus sufferings, but also his joy.... The day he rose from the grave. His body healed, his freedom from death and being in a grave! He was excited when he came out of that grave wouldn't you be?

Jesus becomes the focus of our lives, we think about him all the time. He comes into our lives, we take him into ourselves by dwelling on his joy, pain, suffering, happiness. You have to turn from everything and everyone else to look at Jesus hanging on that cross, wrongfully accused and punished for our crimes!

You start seeing him as the lamb of God on the alter of Sacrifice of the High Priest. The lamb who's throat was cut and the blood poured out on the ground. The priest burning this sacrifice as a sweet smelling savor to God's nostrils as the smoke rises to heaven.

Moses: Then the lamb becomes our food to eat. Just as the Israelites sacrificed a lamb and put the blood on their doorpost, then they ate the Passover lamb which delivered them from the spirit of death and set them free from slavery to the world! 

But the spirit of death destroyed the strength, the children and chariots of our enemies that holds us in bondage to them as their slaves.

2 Corinthians 1:3-51599 Geneva Bible (GNV)

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort,

4 Which comforteth us in all our tribulation, [d]that we may be able to comfort them which are in any affliction by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation aboundeth through Christ.

13 Then Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid! Take your stand [be firm and confident and undismayed] and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today; for those Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see again.
