Dear Friend,
Listen to the Word of God from the following passages:
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”
“I was hurt / broken / crushed by their adulterous hearts, which turned away from me, and by their eyes, which lusted after idols. They will hate themselves for the evil and disgusting things that they have done.”
“How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited / grieved the Holy One of Israel.”
If God’s creatures and own children do not love and obey Him fully and they sin against Him, He is grieved and hurt in his heart. He is our Father and we were created in His likeness and like us He also feels pain in His heart when His children do not love and obey Him but rather listens to Satan.
God then sent his heart, his only beloved Son who is in the bosom of the Father , to earth to reveal God’s will, grace, love, power and truth. When Jesus completed his work, He handed himself over into the hands of us all – the people, the heathens, sinners, elders, scribes and chief priests - that they / we may do to Him as they /we want. All our reproaches against God fell on Jesus, He bore our sins in His body on the cross, and it pierced and crushed Him. On the cross of Jesus we clearly see sin before our eyes and what sins truly are and do. So Jesus clearly revealed and illustrated the pierced, broken and crushed heart of God due to sins.
God said through the prophet Zechariah:
“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, …. And the land shall mourn, every family apart; … All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land."
When you now sin, the Holy Spirit comes to you with grace and with pleading / supplication that you should look up to Jesus whom you have pierced with that sin, and that you should mourn and be in bitterness for Him because He bore all your sins in his body on the cross.12
What you have done to the least, you have also done to Him.
When you break the Word of God, you also break Jesus because the Word became flesh.
Each of your sins affects God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit equally. It pains and grieves the heart of your loving Father, it pierces and crushes Jesus Christ and it grieves and quenches the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, full of grace and supplication then pleads with you for Their sakes – and for yours - to look up to Him whom you have pierced, to repent and to stop with your sins because He suffers bitterly through your sins and you are going to pay an eternity in hell if you continue doing that!!
Jesus “bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we may die to sin / stop with sins and live for righteousness” and to totally condemn sin and leave no excuse for it. This was the exact message of the Holy Spirit on and after Pentecost. It struck them in their harts and they repented deeply when they heard that. God then cleansed them from their sins and filled them with the HOLY Spirit. Sins stopped and even a lie was punished with death!
Oh friend, please look up to Him whom you have pierced with every sin, mourn and grieve bitterly for Him and stop and repent that you may receive grace. If you do not see it, look and look again until you see and grasp this and until you experience that bitter mourning for what each sin has done to Jesus. Then in grace upon grace, God has promised that He will forgive you all this – if you are truly sorry, have confessed all your sins against Jesus and your neighbour and if you have made restitution.
Furthermore, He will wash, cleanse and deliver you from your sins through the blood of Jesus which you confessed with true remorse your sins have spilled. In even greater mercy He will also heal you through the wounds of Jesus you confessed you have made through your sins. Oh, His endless mercy!
Then you will love Him much for he who has been forgiven much, loves much.
By doing this, you obey and receive the Holy Spirit. God then opens the stream of Jesus’ blood that mightily flows against sin and uncleanness. The idols, false prophets and unclean spirits are driven from your heart. You are then delivered and cleansed from every sin through His blood and you are filled with the Holy Spirit of God and with the Lord Jesus himself. That is how you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit which God promised to those who obey Him.
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
You can then live a holy life without which you will not see God.
In this way the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all and every sin and makes you pure, righteous and holy. If you keep on believing and obeying God, He will give you these wonderful promises by his great mercy and love – whilst you deserved the death penalty! Oh, His great love and mercy! How will you escape if you despise this?
If however you resist the Holy Spirit and you sin against Him by not looking up to and not grieving in remorse for Jesus whom you have pierced with every sin, you cannot be forgiven and you remain guilty of the body and blood of Jesus and for sinning against the Holy Spirit. Without the acknowledgment and confession with deep remorse of the shedding of the blood of Jesus with every sin, there is also no forgiveness or deliverance from that sin possible. The fountain of Jesus’ blood does not open for you and there is no other way to be forgiven or delivered from sin. God also does not drive all the idols, false prophets and unclean spirits from your heart and you remain a slave of sin and sin continues – even though you do not want to sin any more. The Word of God is very clear that you will not go to heaven if you keep on sinning. Do not deceive yourself and let no one deceive you. Without holiness you will not see God.
No fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, liars, any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie will enter heaven.
No one may remove or add anything to these words in Revelation.
But, if you faithfully do as the Holy Spirit teaches, God will do what He said He will do. Then you will surely experience that Jesus indeed keeps you from stumbling and will present you faultless before God with exceeding joy! You will then live a holy life and the wicked one does not touch you. The holy remains holy and the righteous remains righteous. Such people, who so do the will of God, has a right to the tree of life and to enter through the gates of the city. You will be able to call out now and in heaven:
“… Jesus Christ… To Him who loved us and washed / loosed / released / freed us from our sins in His own blood and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
Jesus does all this for us only through His blood and cross.
AMEN!
From your brother, with love for Jesus Christ.
