It is almost unbelievable that anyone would desire to take on such an assignment, to leave the Heavenly Realm with HIS FATHER, then choose to enter into the earth as a human child, having to be dependent upon those who reared him and served as HIS Parents, whereas HE already foreknew the end from the beginning. Such a remarkable ordeal to undergo, especially in the ways of attempting to adapt HIMSELF to life in the earth and amongst ordinary people, when HE had before know and assuredly remembered His Previous and Next Life in the Heavens with the Lord Almighty and the angels. <br /><br />I could not even imagine what that must have been like for Him. Since the beginning, He was privy to ALL WISDOM, yet had to learn obedience through those things that He suffered in the earth. I know not which existence would have been more frustrating, His Life in the earth, or His departure and death from the earth, leaving this dimension in such a horrific way almost too traumatic to fathom. Yet, when all was said and done, HE OVERCAME in Death and was Resurrected; and through HIS RESURRECTION, we too were redeemed and Now Arise to proclaim the Glory of the Lord in the Land of the Living! Despite the colorful life and gruesome death that the Christ experienced in human form, HE WAS STRONG, He is NOW STRONG and ALIVE in / through Us, IT IS INDEED WELL with Him and NOW with US as we choose to walk in the Freedom that has already been purchased in / by/ through HIS BLOOD, and in essence IT IS FINISHED!!!!! Hallelujah! Amen.<br /><br />Let everything that have breath PRAISE THE LORD, for the New Days of Refreshing and Revitalization have arrived. What a Magnificent Time is this to Give all Glory and Honor to the Lord of Hosts... for HIS SACRIFICE was so much greater than anything and everything we could ever possibly offer. So, praise, worship, and THANKSGIVING unto our Heavenly Father is but our Reasonable Service that we should render with Gladness unto Our LORD whom has already given far more than we could ever afford to repay. Thank You Father, for your Outpouring Grace and Mercy enduring Forever and Ever. Amen.SCRIBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331018507497594356noreply@blogger.com
