Message of the Cross – By Lakshman Navaratne<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Lakshman<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

For the message of the cross is foolishness\u00a0to those who are perishing,\u00a0but to us who are being saved\u00a0it is the power of God.\u00a019\u00a0<\/sup>For it is written:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
\nthe intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 18<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heart of a Human is the dwelling and the resting place of the sovereign creator of the universe.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final and supreme creation of the sovereign God is Adam, hand-built using all the elements (dust) he created, the final workmanship of matter (Light) that God separated from the darkness as Light.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christianity or new Judaism began, 2000 years from our time today, providing an antidote for the fruit-wickedness that infected humanity from the \u201cTree of Knowledge\u201d, deemed prohibited to be touched by his supreme created organism-product. This is clearly documented in the first book of the Bible.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final book of the Bible, Revelation written through servant John; documents the grand finale and the end for the human kind!<\/span><\/p>\n

The 27 books of the New Testament are unfolding in our lives today as living proof of the faithful servants of the Almighty creator and the author of human life on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are enroute to a new earth as promised in the book of Revelation! [A]<\/span><\/p>\n

Our human mind is not able to comprehend the written word without the author of the scripture communicating directly through the heart of a human, where God is alive today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first words of the Author of Life were \u201clet there be Light and Light was made\u201d. God separated this light from darkness. For a Pentecostal Christian; this light is Jesus, and the darkness is the adversary of the creator of mankind.<\/span><\/p>\n

We Christians know without a shadow of doubt; the tree of Life documented in the scripture is Jesus, and the tree of Knowledge is the darkness that was separated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam was commanded to stay away from the tree of knowledge!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet, Eve our first mother who was framed and equipped with all the eggs of humanity, listened to the pleasing pleas (voices) from the adversary of our soul, sealing the death penalty for all humanity. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

POWER OF PENTECOST<\/span><\/p>\n

Hear your call of salvation in your own mother-tongue!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bible documents; Adam was put to a deep sleep, faithful believe the duration of this slumber to be duration of many years of Chronos, programming the entire humanity to arrive on earth, scheduled in our first mother Eve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam was made in the Image of our Maker. Every Man to be born shall be the pattern of Adam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every female shall be the pattern of Eve. That was how humanity was programmed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every descendent to be born of Adam and Eve, required the BREATH of our Maker to live in the Kingdom he prepared for his resting on the seventh day of Logos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our conception in our mother\u2019s womb is a moment, an event, where Our Maker has pre-scheduled using the life protein (pattern) of Adam, through fathers on earth, to begin his lengthy operation of constructing every cell of our flesh and bone.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, life of every human begins with our Maker\u2019s Spirit (SOUL), knitted to his first BLOOD, he placed in ADAM.<\/span><\/p>\n

This operation is scheduled for nine months in our mother\u2019s womb, and our maker lives in us until we start listening to the world around us. This is why our children are gracefully innocent, until the knowledge is imparted to their pure and innocent hearts.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This wisdom of our Maker is revealed in the book of Job<\/strong>, to the faithful baptized of the spirit of Pentecost, through the spiritual gifts; Tongues, interpretation of Tongues and the Discernment of the Spirit. [B]\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4000 years after our first mother Eve, our creator God spoke clearly into 3000 human hearts, in their own mother tongue, cleansing their souls, manifesting His redemption power available to all mankind.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is true, the Hebrews are the chosen nation, his very own to bring his beloved son Yeshua made of BLOOD, to be the final Rabbi, Priest, and last Passover Lamb for the Redemption of all mankind.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the first son Adam failed to obey the Spirit that was placed his heart with the living blood of our Maker, the Redemption plan was announced which took placed 4000 years later as the day of Pentecost.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the message of the sixty-six books of the Bible, pre planned before framing the universe, to make a dwelling place for the sovereign God to rest from all his creative work!<\/span><\/p>\n

Genesis records; dictated to Moses on mount Siani in Egypt, by the sovereign creator of humanity, the complete plan for the nation of Israel, the divine tooling, the materials, and the process of establishing a physical dwelling place (Temple) for Him to manifest on earth. The Lord God used individual human Souls as Prophets to accomplish His will for mankind.<\/span><\/p>\n

He raised Priests to sacrifice pure blood of animal as a temporary atonement for the sin of mankind.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last Hebrew Prophet used by the Almighty Creator is a man named John.<\/span><\/p>\n

John the Baptist was used to announce and power the Baptism of the Holy One of Israel, to initiate the will of the Almighty Father for all humanity!<\/span><\/p>\n

Today three billion human souls have embraced the Redeemed Blood of Adam as the written message of the Cross!<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 1517 AD. We humans have the same tool, the divine word, and the power to overcome the darkness that snared our first mother Eve to fall from Grace. [B].<\/span><\/p>\n

At Pentecost, humanity received the nine free spiritual gifts, the full Armory to overcome the gods of darkness, ruling this earth today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The day we are reborn in Christ; our true spiritual Father, our Maker, takes over our lives, and our true spiritual mother becomes the resurrected body of Christ living on earth as an organism of faith.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible records the beginning for mankind and the complete history of the people of Israel as the chosen nation by the Creator of mankind, a generation of human souls from all nations were scheduled by the omnipotent creator, before the worlds were framed to carry out the project redemption. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the beginning eternal God separated the Light from Darkness!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you believe the bible and call yourself Christian, most important question to ask yourself would be: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Have your read the Bible yourself or are you following the Doctrines taught to you by other humans? Exercising your redemptive power would be totally dependent on how you answer this very crucial question. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our born-again experience is the Baptism of this spirit of Redemption, entering our hearts while reading the Bible or hearing the Word through another human. The Spirit of redemption documents this as \u201cfaith coming from eternity\u201d the word good news, small as a mustard seed. [A]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So, if someone claims to be born-again, he or she is not lying. He or she could be at any stage of their of Redemption process. It is only when the seed has germinated and the plant is fully grown, shall be the fruits of the Spirit.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Redemption is a process. Our spiritual growth depends on the spiritual environment and the spiritual food we eat.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, if we are a living-cell in the Body of Christ (faithful church) and are fed with the Bread of life (Living Scripture) and waters of salvation (Holy Spirit), fruits shall appear fast.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0This is the seed of Faith. This seed must grow in grace in our lives to eternity. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew 6:33,\u201d<\/strong> But seek first his kingdom\u00a0and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, to enjoy the desires of your heart, the Righteous one must live in you. This is the sure sign that you have found the Kingdom of God. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All human life begins as an embryo in the womb of our mother. This embryo grows in an environment completely depending on the mother driven through the unconditional love of our Maker. When we are born, depending who, what, where and when, voices of the world (Fate) around us begins to operate until the day we hear the voice of the Scripture (Grace).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With the first experience of the Living Lord, our fate is switched off and Grace begins to operate. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Returning to our Maker must happen before we leave this earth!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our lives change from Fate to Grace. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Faithful Church: Bride for Christ<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The faithful Church today is our mother who will feed us throughout our journey of grace.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This journey of grace shall end for mankind when the king of Redemption returns to remove His Bride to eternity. This is the Rapture of the Faithful.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Christianity shall vanish from this world.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Adam became human when the Creator God breathed into his nostrils. Those who believe the Bible as the absolute truth knows this moment as God giving himself \u201cRest\u201d on planet earth (Garden or Paradise).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All living die, yet the soul of man cannot die because our soul is the image of our Creator who is eternal!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If we miss the free gift of salvation, our soul shall end up in the lake of fire, prepared for the rulers and their followers of darkness \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Grace from the cross is God operating in you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible says that God is Spirit and this God has to be worshiped in Spirit.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

John 4:21-25,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201c<\/sup><\/strong>Jesus said to her,\u00a0\u201cWoman, believe Me, the hour is coming\u00a0when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.22\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>You worship\u00a0what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.\u00a023\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will\u00a0worship the Father in\u00a0spirit\u00a0and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.\u00a024\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>God\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cWoman\u201d is revealed to the faithful as the Bride for Christ!<\/strong> who will be the bride for the one who was<\/strong>, and is<\/strong> and is to come<\/strong>. He prophetically spoke the words to the Samaritan woman, the prophecy of a generation of humans to be with him forever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, Grace is the Spirit of God operating in you. This is true Life operating as Grace. Life had a beginning, so shall be for True life for humanity, also has a beginning.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today we have, Apostolic Doctrine as the original Grace Mill, given to the Apostles of Christ, on the day of Pentecost: [B] <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The process of receiving grace from the cross;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Start with the \u201cPleading\u201d of the blood sacrifice of our Redeemer, continue in communion \u201cPrayer\u201d, embracing the \u201cWord\u201d of scripture, \u201cPraising\u201d His holy name.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Add to the mill, power of \u201cFasting\u201d with obedience to the Spirit that operates in you. Grace unlimited shall flow in your life. [A]\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the new birth that begins with a seed (faith), this seed must grow (Sanctification) to the full potential to bear fruit! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Just like the embryo of our beginning has to be attached to the mother, so shall be the seed of Faith, must get planted in the Vineyard of the True life where the Body of Christ (True Bride for Christ) shall grow to the full potential. This seed must be in the perfect conditions to grow. The bible says we are grafted to the root of David whose heart was tuned to receive Grace. [B]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We see in the history of mankind, growing parallel with the nation of Hebrew, Hebrews who God chose to plant this seed of \u201cTrue life\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

God gave His spirit to operate in individual servants, until the perfect sacrifice was made on the Cross that produced unlimited source of seeds (Seed of Grace), <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Absolute Message of the Cross is returning our soul to our Maker to live with Him forever!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So, on earth we are born with him with a corruptible flesh, to be reborn with the purified blood, through the death, resurrection and the Pentecostal baptism returned to mankind on the day of Pentecost.<\/span><\/p>\n

The promise is to all who believe!<\/span><\/p>\n
