The Power Of The Fear Of Separation

Send us Fan MailSo poof, 4:am rolls around and my head starts thinking about some friends I know who are in a particular situation in life, and as I was thinking about the difficulties in their relationship, it suddenly dawned on me that there is a dynamic in the concept of reality of this thing we call victory and but it often results in anything but victory.  And as I pondered this new thought, I saw a parallel event, aside from my initial thoughts regarding my friend and his marriage and the difficulties he was in, in the story about God and His Son.I saw for the first time, a pain that was greater than the pain of the cross. Oh it was a pain greater than the decimation described in the book of Isaiah, of this One Mans Spirit and soul as He became our sin and took on our curses through the merciless marring of His Spirit and soul:Is 52:14 - Just as many were astonished at you,So His visage was marred more than any man,And His form more than the sons of men;2 Cor 5:21 - For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.Gal 3:13 - 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),What would have happened to the man who became sin? He being perfect actually became our sin, was exposed to the satanic hoard waiting for Him in hell, as now He is touchable by the demon hordes because He is now covered in all the sins of the world. What would you imagine, if it were possible, that satan and his deminions would do to Jesus spirit and soul now that they have a legal right to touch Him?Well, considering that let’s move on.Let us not depart from this thought and let us look deeper at a pain that is near unimaginable. A pain greater than bearing the sins of the world. Greater than what is described in Isaiah. Oh yes a pain greater than becoming every curse relegated to mankind in payment for committing sin. Which by the way created a separation, like what an earthquake does, which may be why the earth quaked at His separation. But because we loved our sins we could not fathom the depths of the greater pain incurred by the One in whom had created us in His image and in His likeness. A pain greater than incurring the demonic crushing of His Spirit and soul. Now yes His Spirit was in the hands of His Father, but His soul was not. It was in the teeth and fangs of satan. Now let’s look again at Isaiah given this further description:Is 52:14 - Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men;https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
