THE CROSS IS THE BIG "I" CROSSED OUT #1 -

PART 1: THE CROSS IS THE BIG “I” CROSSED OUT ….

….or else…”Huge Egos,Large Personas, Wide Open All Wise Mouths, Soon Follow”

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. ” Galatians 2:20

Ego’s today are EXTRA LARGE and VERY FULL OF THEMSELVES Arguing, Fighting, Mean Spirited Abuse, Cursing, Me- Firsting in Life, Business, Family and Ministry…all create CHAOS, PAIN, SUFFERING and GRIEF and have a BAD FAMILY, RELATIONSHIP and PERSONAL WELL BEING,EVEN MENTAL/EMOTIONAL DAMAGING EFFECT.

The Bible says that in the last days there will be “wars and rumors of wars” “buying and selling of human beings” and even in the midst of that “knowledge will increase” (which with the internet, we see signs of today)..

Even God’s people can turn “All knowing, all wise” and end up in leader religious, personal or family, ministry ARGUMENTS with each one self righteously convinced that they are “In the RIGHT.’

IN BIBLE APPLIED LOGIC: WHICH DOES THE HEAVENLY FATHER PLACE A HIGHER PRIORITY ON: BEING ALL WISE, ALL IN THE KNOW? OR ALL GENUINELY LOVING (ACCEPTING, FORGIVING, GIVING AND “ACCEPTED IN HIS BELOVED” (RECEIVED)TRUE LOVE? Based upon:

“…We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up but love edifies.” I Corinthians 8:1

“To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge” Ephesians 3:19

And as society, even in the Church, attests, mental healthy, disease, Believer indifference to leader divorce, and heartbreak, church splits, and various many other “human EGO related” events are ever increasing..

The Bible prophesied a non Accuser Savior: The Messiah of Isaiah 11:2-3. He would come in the middle of the human, accuser fallen world, and purchase it back from being held by the dark power of supernatural (fallen) SIN….by a simple but strange God method: The non Accuser Jesus Christ (the Messiah) would die on the CROSS ..breaking the deep powers of accusation, sin,and powerless SELF forever.

HUGE EGOS are not to be viewed as “awful” or accused as “sinful.” Rather they can display confidence and are for the purposes of achieving, building, leading and also surviving deep very hard big battles.

The ONLY Human EGO which has troublesome ISSUES are one that are not SELF GOVERNED and are insensitive to others around them, which may misperceive, dominate and overstep their God given legal, moral, personal, emotional or spiritual boundaries.

AND other human egos which are out of control: too demanding, overly self centered and seek to be at the center of attention at all times.

OTHERS can be very oppressive OR too easily strongly ,deeply oppressed, poor me, very super sensitive and continually murmuring and complaining

THE REDEEMER, the MESSIAH was described as having supernatural wisdom and power but each guarded under SPIRITUAL PERSONAL SELF GOVERNMENT (aka overcoming mighty strength UNDER God governed and Spirit guided, fully applied, completely UNSELFISH, ego (over human spirit, natural mind, will, and emotions) PERSONAL SELF CONTROL (I.E. Self government: which is the first and foremost ky to ones’ own true authentic SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY)  THE FOLLOWING VERSES DESCRIBE THE NATURE AND ONGOING AUTHORITY, PLUS LEADER, REAL LIFE SPIRITUAL FRUIT OF THE LONG AWAITED MESSIAH:

According to Isaiah 11:2, Messiah, (New Testament Jesus Christ) would be completely filled with His heavenly Father’s 7 flaming, flickering eternal Lampstand Leader , fully abiding Spirits

NOTE: that these 7 heavenly spirits comprise the Book of Acts applied power which was given back to the First Church in the Acts 2 Upper Room, and which is still available, by accepting Jesus as personal LORD and only SAVIOR, by FAITH

“The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord”

1. The Spirit of the Lord 2. The Spirit of Wisdom 3. The Spirit of Understanding 4. The Spirit of Counsel 5. The Spirit of (power and) Might 6. The Spirit of Knowledge 7. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord

NOTE: all of these same non religious yet Holy Spirits, are revealed in different portions throughout the MANY various Christian Lampstand church ministry STYLES..all due to God’s grace, and also ministry maturity, levels of deep abiding true commitment “We know in part, we see in part”

INTERESTING LEADER VIEWPOINT:

AND the writer points out: ALL OF THESE (Isaiah 11:2-3) were ETERNALLY in heavenly existence even before MAN was created, the earth was formed and BEFORE ANY RELIGIOUS TRADITION, DOCTRINE, LEGALISM were ever formed.

AND, while we may like it or not, each of the 7 SPIRITS OF GOD, in CHRIST JESUS, will flame forever following the FINAL DAY, and abide in heaven forever for ETERNITY.

ALSO: ISAIAH 11: 3 DESCRIBES THE NONACCUSER MESSIAHS ONGOING LIFE STYLE, LEADER LAMPSTAND ONGOING SPIRITUAL FRUIT

ISAIAH 11: 3 “and he will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,  or decide by what he hears with his ears;”

SURELY the True Prophet seer could perceive into other people’s heart of hearts. Surely he heard all of the town gossip and rumors. BUT knowing His Father’s holy abiding FEAR and with that deep HUMILITY, the Messiah never once participated or used his prophetic prowess to mind any other person’s lay or ministry business.

The CROSS with the BIG I CROSSED OUT final installment (IN WRITTEN but also in VIDEO) will come SOON ..but we had something extraordinary come up at the last minute and we believe that we must participate.

We’ll post it HERE and on TWITTER, ENCOURAGETELEVISION.ORG when it’s ready.

MIGHTY BLESSINGS! In His Service,
