“Empowering the abused woman to recover with God's truth"
Jesus redeemed AND restored us!! When Jesus redeemed us (Ephesians 1:5-7; John 3:16; Romans 5:8) – He rescued us by sacrificing Himself for our sins (to save and sanctify us) (Galatians 1:4).
Jesus paid the ransom for us that sin required and now we are set free from the bondage of sin (Galatians 5:1; Galatians 3:13; Titus 2:11-12; Romans 6:1-2; John 8:36).
JESUS freed us (Galatians 2:20)!! We WERE a slave to sin, held hostage by it! BUT NOW, we ARE FREE from the power of sin and stand righteous before Father – Jesus paid our ransom, by taking our sin, becoming sin, and gave us HIS righteousness (John 10:10; 1 Corinthians 1:30)!!
But Jesus not only freed us from sin, but from ALL the consequences of disobedience; ALL the penalties of not keeping Father God’s Commandments which included sickness, disease, infirmities, pain – Jesus took ALL these upon Himself (Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24), and all the curses of Deuteronomy 28:15-68 – Jesus became a curse for us (Galatians 3:13)!! Therefore, we NOT sick, but well; we WERE healed AND restored, by Jesus’ stripes!! AND we are NO LONGER under ANY curse!! We are NOT cursed, but BLESSED!! We have the BLESSINGS of Deuteronomy 28:1-14 and so much more!!
We are NOW the righteous of God IN Christ!! Father God made Christ, Who knew no sin to (judicially) be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of Father God (that is, we were made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Father God by His gracious lovingkindness) (2 Corinthians 5:21)!! JESUS DID THAT FOR US REDEEMING AND RESTORING US BACK TO FATHER GOD!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! THANK YOU FATHER!!! THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT!!!
When Jesus redeemed us, we were also restored; brought back to our original state before Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden! What does that mean? Think about it! In the Garden, was Adam and Eve sick? NO, they were not!! Did Adam and Eve have constant contact with God? And were they in fellowship with Him? YES, they did!! YES, they were!!
Now, since Jesus HAS redeemed us, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands, setting the record of this debt aside, and completely removing it by nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:14), we ARE restored back to Father!! And we too, can have constant contact with Father, and always be in fellowship with Him – Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit lives IN us now!! Because of Jesus, we NOW have an unhindered relationship with Father God!! Because of Jesus, we ARE reconciled to Father God (Romans 5:10; Romans 6:10-11)!!
YAY!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! JESUS restored our fellowship with Father!! JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER (John 14:6)!!!
We ARE Father God’s workmanship (His own master work of art – we are Father God’s masterpiece – WOW), created in Christ Jesus (reborn from above – spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used) for good works, which Father God prepared for us beforehand, so that we would walk in them (living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us) (Ephesians 2:10)!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! We got it made!!! Father God took care of EVERYTHING for us!! All we have to do is follow His path, that He laid out for us!!! I don’t know about you, but I am IN with God’s plan, HIS path, for my life!!!
JESUS, NOBODY BUT JESUS, WHO IS THE ONLY WAY, THE REAL TRUTH, AND THE REAL LIFE, HAS REDEEMED AND RESTORED US TO FATHER GOD – JESUS IS THE DOOR TO FATHER GOD FOR US (John 14:6; John 10:9-11)!!!
Now, we can go BOLDLY to the throne of grace, to obtain mercy and find grace to help us in time of need (Hebrews 4:16)!! And Father God’s grace is sufficient for us - NO MATTER WHAT we face (2 Corinthians 12:9)!!!
PRAISE GOD!!! PRAISE GOD!!! PRAISE GOD!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT!!! I LOVE YOU FATHER!!! I LOVE YOU JESUS!!! I LOVE YOU HOLY SPIRIT!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know about you, but I know, I am going to make what Jesus did (during His death, burial, and resurrection) personal to ME!! I receive MY healing, MY restoration, and EVERYTHING Jesus gave me, during His death, burial, and resurrection!! I AM a new creation because of Jesus – old things have passed away and ALL things are new (2 Corinthians 5:17)!! I HAVE the same Spirit in my spirit, Who raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11)!! What about you? Are you going to make what Jesus did for YOU personal?
God’s BLESSINGS to you all, as you embark on a journey to know, what Jesus accomplished for YOU during His death, burial, and resurrection!! May Holy Spirit give YOU, the revelations YOU need, to live the ABUNDANT LIFE Jesus gave you (John 10:10)!!
Remember, the MAIN reason Jesus came to redeem, and restore us, was because we were separated from Father God because of Adam and Eve’s sin (Isaiah 59:1-2; Romans 6:23). And Father loves us and didn’t want us separated from Him (Romans 5:8; John 3:16)!! Father wanted to be able to fellowship with us and have a relationship with us!! And Father also wanted us to have fellowship, and a relationship with Him!! Now we can because of Jesus!!
