(Second part)
Memory verse (1 Cor1: 18): " For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God ".
The message of the cross is the gospel and it’s about Jesus crucified. The death of Christ on the cross is the power of the believers. It’s the power of the saints. Every believer needs to live by the cross daily. Our victory, our breakthrough, victory over sin, our forgiveness, our reconciliation with God is all about what God did in his death on the cross.
Focus on the cross, it’s the door that leads into all the abundant grace that will cause you to do God’s will God’s way. The death of Christ on the cross opened a door for you and me to enter into God’s glory and abilities. God is calling us not just to come to the cross but also to enter into the holy of holies through the cross (Heb10: 19-22). The cross in not just the end but the means to the new life in power. The cross gives us access into heavenly blessings in Christ. The death of Christ provided to you a believer everything you need in this life and to fulfill your life’s purpose. Stop focusing on your weaknesses, on Satan’s lies, on the deceitful world and begin focusing afresh on Christ who was crucified.
Satan does not want you to focus on the cross, because he knows that if you focus on the cross, you will know that all the devil’s power, all diseases, all witchcraft were destroyed. He knows you’ll discover who you are. He knows you’ll find your place in God’s kingdom. He knows you will see all the things that God has freely given to you etc. He knows he won’t be able to fool you, deceive you and then he won’t be able to oppress you, instead he knows that any believer who focuses on the cross will defeat all Satan’s devices. Cross-minded believers are Satan’s kingdom destroyers. Cross-minded believers walk and live in power. Cross-minded believers overcome the evil one.
