“He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we may die to sins and live onto righteousness; by His wounds you were healed.” 1Pet. 2:24
Zec 13:1-9 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. And it shall be in that day, says Jehovah of Hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall be remembered no more. And also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. Zec 13:3 And it shall be when any shall yet prophesy, his father and his mother who gave birth to him shall say to him then, You shall not live; for you speak lies in the name of Jehovah. And his father and his mother who gave him birth shall thrust him through when he prophesies. And it shall be in that day, the prophets shall be ashamed, each one of his vision, when he prophesies. And they shall not wear a hairy garment to deceive. But he shall say, I am no prophet; I am a man, a tiller of the ground; for a man taught me to buy from my youth. And one shall say to him, What are these wounds in your hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of those who love Me. Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the Man who is My companion, says Jehovah of Hosts; strike the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. And I will turn My hand on the little ones. And it shall be in all the land, says Jehovah, two parts in it shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left in it. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will answer them; I will say, It is My people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.
Without the remorseful admission and confession that your sins have wounded Jesus and have shed the Messiah’s blood, there is no forgiveness or deliverance from that sin Hebr. 9:22. According to Jesus’ words, those who deny that they are guilty of all the righteous blood ever shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah killed in their churches, even to the blood of Jesus, are thereby witnesses and proving against themselves that they are the sons of those who murdered the prophets Matt. 23:29-32. Because they do not confess that they shed Jesus’ blood with every sin and on top of that they blame God falsely for punishing Jesus in their place for their sins, there is no forgiveness for or deliverance from those sins for them…
If however you are obedient to the Holy Spirit who pleads with you to look up to Him whom you have pierced with every sin and to bitterly mourn for Him, His blood from His pierced and crushed heart because of your sin, will work mightily against your sin and unrighteousness. It will drive out the idols, false prophets, unclean spirits, it will end carnal relationships, stop lies, deception and pretence, bring humility and honesty about true condition of heart, it will bring persecution for Christ’s sake, refining as silver and full consecration to God – and God will own them!! Then holiness to God will follow – without which no one will see Him.
The opposite is also true! If you resist the Holy Spirit pleading you to look up to Him whom you have pierced, and you do not mourn for Him and repent deeply, there is no forgiveness for the wounds your sins have caused and there is no blood or power from God to cleanse and deliver you from sin. Then you will die in your sins and never see God i.e. you will go to hell…. For without holiness no one will see God. SELA!
