Recently i felt that the Holy Spirit directed my attention to this: “Blessings are a result of discipline”. Jesus went to the cross out of discipline to the will of the Father. Jesus didn’t gain anything personally by going to the cross. Fact of the matter, He has ALL and IS all things.When He walked on earth He could speak and miles away a servant was healed, a woman touched His clothing and was healed, He spoke and a dead man walked out of the tomb. So all the power of creation was residing in Him but He went to the cross to bless all mankind. And He did what He did out of discipline.

What we do here on earth we do out of discipline, not to be blessed. God will bless us as He sees fit. Our daily motivation should be as follows: Lord by the Holy Spirit show me how to be a blessing today, wherever I go.

Thank you Chip for teaching the Truth no matter how hard it may be to hear.

2 Tim 4:3(AMP) For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold,

The Way of the Cross is where the True and Faithful Church The Body of Christ becomes separated from the false church ( those who profess to know God but deny the power). The way of the cross is how we follow after Jesus to death of self (flesh) and overcome in the life of The Spirit. We must take up our cross daily and follow Him who is The Way The Truth and The Life!

Maranatha!
Christine

Know the feeling, dear Chip!……and He absolutely knew our need! If He hadn’t been a merciful God He wouldn’t have done what He did, He would simply have laughed and said, “Well, you got yourself into it, you deal with it!” That TRULY WAS Grace!…..I will look up Lockridge’s sermons on SermonIndex. Thank you. Have a blessed day.
