Isaiah 53 – He did it all for me.
53 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
- The Blood of Jesus
- Went to hell and death
- Risen
- When they pierce him blood and water flow out of him
Prior to entering Jerusalem, Christ instructed his disciples to acquire for him a donkey (in Matthew’s Gospel a donkey and a colt).
Why did Jesus ride an ass? There are four reasons.
First, the prophet Zechariah wrote: “Behold, your king comes to you, triumphant and victorious. He is humble and riding on an ass, on a colt the foal of an ass.” (Zech 9:9)
The messianic sign was at once perceived by the crowds who hailed Jesus as their king shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Mt 21:9) Catholics still shout this Davidic salutation every time the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated. It is an acknowledgment that Jesus is the true Davidic Messiah and king.
Secondly, an ass is integral to the story of Abraham’s offering of Isaac, a type of the oblation of the First Born Son as a sign of obedience.
The third reason is that King Solomon rode to his messianic coronation on a mule that had once belonged to David (1 Kgs 1:33-44).
Fourth, King Jehu rode into Samaria (a kind of false Jerusalem) over the garments of his adherents in order to destroy the temple of the false god Baal (2 Kgs 9:11-10:28). One of the first things Christ does upon entering Jerusalem is bring judgment to the Temple which has become a den of thieves. The typology in this account is rather startling as 2 Kgs chapter nine contains strong messianic language. Like King Jehu, Christ the King comes as a judge over ceremonial regulations.
Isaiah 53
Surely, he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Jesus was approved of God with signs which God did
God has raise him up he didn’t die to stay dead
Therefore, whatever hope you have that is of have been shattered, God wants you to pick it up and put them on the blood of Christ Jesus
Stop putting them on things that hath no power.
I don’t care about what has gone wrong in your life, Pick it up and put it on the blood of Christ Jesus.
Stop worrying about what people might say. Before you they were talking and after you they still will be talking. Some people will never see the change within you.
One write said – in Philippians 3:13 said ………… but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Therefore if you want to make me and my family breakfast, lunch and dinner or even your soap opera you can continue. But one thing I know I pray to God for your strength because the more you press me down the more I keep on putting it on the blood of Jesus.
I which I have some help inside here who knows how it put it on the blood of Jesus.
If you don’t know this blood isn’t any ordinary blood. It is the blood that is compatible with all blood.
I was in the bathroom once and I felt like my life was pulling away from me. I don’t know what devil came over to destroy my life. But I know something. I have power within me, so I started to put it on the blood of Jesus. I declare, I shall not die but live, I shall live and immediately I was free.
This is resurrection Sunday, it’s not an ordinary one.
Therefore, for every promise that was broken, every risk you take I am telling you to take it again. Because you are not taking it in man or human things. But the next risk you take it in the name of Jesus. Take it on the blood of Jesus, he is getting ready to bring you to another level.
Tell your neighbour it’s time to expect again, its time to put your visions, your dreams into action. Don’t look back but look to the future because your future is in the blood of Jesus. The word of God said it; therefore I believe it.
Isaiah 43:4-7
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore, will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
I wish I have enough time to look more into this. The north is ahead and God said he will say to the north Give up. This is tells me I need not worry because God set this is motion. Therefore, I need to just walk into it. I wish there was somebody here who would like to walk into their destiny.
You may not be able to dance like Sis K….., preach like Pastor J…, Pray like Pastor N….. or even break the scripture like Pastor N……. How can I forget Sing like Minister L…. and play like the musicians? But one thing I know we all have something special.
Whether is sing is tune or not I can sing the blood of Jesus ransomed me, he pay the price and set me free. Please do not get distracted but follow me. God said he will speak to the north to give up, but he doesn’t stop there he said and to the south to keep not back. Oh Jesus what a blessing. The north is giving and the south is restoring all that I had lost. This reminds me of the book of Joel where is said he shall restore everything that various types of worm had eaten.
Can I get a praise in this house? Need I remind you it’s resurrection Sunday. To me this means new life over death.
Tell your neighbour your future is on the blood of Jesus. John said there are three that bears witness in the earth, the spirit, the water and the blood and they all agree in one.
The water is the symbol of the word that he may sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. But the life of the flesh is in the blood and the life of Jesus the word of God is in the Blood in communion not only do you take the bread, but you take the symbol of the blood.
Because when we receive the bread the crucified word of God and when we take the wine the blood that he willingly shed so that the blood is sprinkle over the word and that brings life.
The spirit them comes alive when we honor the blood and the spirit manifest life on our behalf. You need to blood order to handle the word. Because you don’t need bloodless word you need bloodful word.
You got to pea the blood. You can look at the devil and said get thee out of my house. Hold on Pastor you said I can’t plea the blood alone. John 6:53 said Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
There’s power in the blood.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death
Touch your neighbour and then you check the back of the book, just in chase you missed it. You check the back of book (revelation) and it said you are going to be alright.
No matter how big the devil is he can’t mess with the blood. The blood is like hot knife cutting through butter.
Look at your body, the blood in there is the elixir of life, the nourish, cleanse the body. Its mobile. It keeps on moving. In a normal body you have 5 ports and this is the number of grace (Grace, cross, atonement, life)
Therefore, you have grace blood God is moving and feeding you. We have a few white blood cell and when something attack they rush life a soldier to your defence. The more you are attack is the more they fight. The more the devil hit you the more the blood rises. Give me a few seconds but I will be ok before you count to three. I might be down but don’t count me out yet, the blood is doing something. I am getting up praising the name of the Lord. I have got victory, I am healed. Get out of my face devil.
The Blood, did it, The blood, the blood, the blood. Thank God for the Blood, I have got power through the blood.
Celebrate the blood of Jesus.
