Let Us Go To Jerusalem

Let us Go to Jerusalem

April -2012 –Prayer & News letter

“Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die

 with him.” ( John.11:16)

On the 18^th April, we all remember the “Good Friday” events.  The sufferings from Garden Gethsemane to Golgotha cannot be explained by human words. No matter who we are and how strong we are, the details in the scripture we will be broken and will be shattered in our Spirit.  Have you ever happen to see Jesus film?

2.       The Passion of Christ:    http://ebiblemovies.com/watch/the-passion-of-christ/online-free/

The Christ in the garden praying in agony, the enemies binding him, the apostles fleeing for their lives, leaving their master all alone, The brutality shown by strong muscle men in thrashing him with whip (After all he was to be hanged and be dead—who cares how many whips Jesus received and how deeper the wounds were) . Men slapping on His face, spitting and mocking! and then the soldiers beating on the crown of throne on his head!!!! BLOOD EVERYWHERE and Jesus went through pains of death. 

The cross Jesus bore on his shoulders weighed from 34 to 50 kilos. And he had to carry it from the Temple (or) Jerusalem to GOLGOTH…an uphill journey. He fell 3 times on the ground. The cross was heavy as Jesus was tired physically and the distance was nearly over a 5 mile up hill. And the stripped him and sent long and strong nails in his hands and feet and hanged him on the cross for 3.5 hours. The agony was too much and JESUS DIED TOO SOON.

JESUS TURNED AND SAID, “But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. (Lk.23:28)

My friends, this is the word of Knowledge I received from the Holy Spirit, to “EXHORT YOU” about our and  our  children’s  future we are going to face, encounter and live with.

²² For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
²³ But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
²⁶ Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.(Lk.21:22-26)

The shaking that’s going to happen in this generation:

” For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;(Haggai.2:6)-----( Hebrews12:25-29)

Satan is very angry with God’s people whom the Lord is preparing as His “Church” and “Bride”. He is now waging war with the families and with children. Many of us are startled with un expected tragedies and losses. This is the Great Atonement Season. Let us apply “THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB” in the door steps of our homes. “(Isa 60:18  )Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

“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.(Rev.12:11)

Modern Christian families find no time for God. We have everything and more than what we really need.  Busy life, materialism, fashion, status, money, fame, search for more knowledge, fame and popularity have CAPTIVED US and we are mere slaves of passions of various kinds. “They did eat , they drank , they married wives , they were given in marriage , until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came , and destroyed them all.(Lk.17:27)  Are we aware that we are being deceived and destroyed by the greatest liar, Lucifer? We are neither warm nor cold and the Lord spewed us out of His mouth and handed us over to Lasciviousness! “Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.(Eph.4:19)  Satan said, “It is good, YOU WILL BE LIKE HIM”…..We have been singing “like Him…Like him… for centuries yet live in pain, defeat, bondage and all kinds of curses. We suffer in pain and go to the extremes of either denying God and his plan for us (or) sold out to sin. 

Let us go with Jesus to Jerusalem so that we may Die with Him:

Jerusalem For Christians is THE CROSS:  It was there Jesus our Lord died on the cross for the remission of the sins of us. And here is where He rose from the dead. “Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.”(heb.13:13)  And Apostle Paul goes on saying,” I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.(Gal.2:20)

Dearly beloved, as many of us are in prayer and fast and wait in His presence waging a war with our “Self”, “Flesh” “The World” ‘ Satan and his demonic Forces”, principalities and powers let us die with Him. For the Word says,” You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.”(Heb.12:4)

Let Christ Reign in our lives!
