Commentary:
Three men were condemned to die. But there was a difference.
And it soon became apparent to one of the true criminals.
Two of the men hung on the cross for their crimes. The third
hung there for their crimes also. But He, Himself, had
committed no crimes. Neither against the State, nor against
YAHUVEH. Yet He accepted the cup that was before Him and
submitted to one of the most horrible methods of death
devised by sinful man. Crucifixion. If you want a good
picture of the horrors of crucifixion read Psalm
22, written by David, hundreds of years before
crucifixion was developed.

Application:
One thief mocked YAHUSHUA, the other accepted Him. Even in
his last moments of death, this thief turned to YAHUSHUA for
salvation. YAHUSHUA did not answer with "Sorry Charlie,
you should have thought of that before you ended up on that
cross." Nor did He require the man say certain words or
perform certain acts. He just said, "Today
you will be with me in Paradise."
YAHUSHUA accepted the thief right where he was, when the
thief recognized the error of his own ways and the Lordship
of YAHUSHUA. YAHUSHUA accepts you and me in the same way when
we recognize our sinful nature and need for His gift of
salvation. Strongly consider accepting this gift if you have
not already done so. Visit

Apostle Elisabeth (Elisheva) Elijah, or talk to a Christian
friend about how.
There is NOW therefore NO condemnation to them that be in
YAHUSHUA. Brothers and sisters, it's the accuser of the
brethren that accuses you. You must believe that when you
accepted YAHUSHUA as LORD and Savior, you are Sealed with the
Blood of YAHUSHUA and Satan cannot take your soul, for you
have given it to YAHUSHUA. For the Devil to take your soul,
you will have had to forsake YAHUSHUA, turn your back on him,
live ungodly and NOT care, then Die in that condition. You
have NOT done this, nor never will! I know one thing, this
is NOT a decision, this is as natural as breathing. I could
not stop loving and trying to please YAHUSHUA, any more than
I could Stop my heart from beating! It's the same for you.
When you are
born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, in a way it is
true it is IMPOSSIBLE to lose your salvation! Because you're
doing the best you can to please your LORD and Master,
YAHUSHUA. You're depending on him to be your Savior! That
means WE are NOT perfect! If you ever get to thinking
someone is perfect or look at others YAHUSHUA uses, then your
inviting Him to knock them off the pedestal your putting
them on. Please don't do that, for He will. The Bible says,
"Confess your sins one to another." When we do, we
are letting each other know we acknowledge we NEED a Savior!
If we could be PERFECT, we would NOT need YAHUSHUA! But we
NEED our Savior and He is faithful to forgive our
shortcomings, for He knows we are doing our best to obey
Him, and serve Him, and we LOVE Him above all else!
Please know
this, YAHUVEH does NOT expect us to never make mistakes. We
wrestle against the FLESH constantly, our FLESH has a louder
voice than our spirit. Stop beating yourself up over the
weakness of your Flesh, just say, "YAHUSHUA I am going
to continue to please You and when I mess up, I believe in
faith that is why You are my Savior, for you are faithful to
forgive when I repent and try and do better."
We cannot
WORK our way to Heaven. A preacher can lead millions to
YAHUSHUA and still LOSE his OWN soul! This shocked me. This
is a personal decision , do we want to please YAHUSHUA and be
HOLY as He is HOLY? That's what the Bible says, that's a
constant struggle while we are in this FLESH. But we must
keep trying because although we will always fall short, at
least we are doing the BEST we can and leaving the REST up
to YAHUSHUA. Does this make sense?
The Bible says when YAHUSHUA Forgives, our Sins are
remembered NO more! They are as far away as the EAST is from
the WEST! I am telling you right now, every time you ask for
forgiveness for something that YAHUSHUA has said is
Forgotten, he does NOT even know what you're talking about.
For it's the DEVIL that accuses you! NOT YAHUSHUA. YAHUSHUA
has WASHED US clean with his Cleansing Blood at Calvary.
YAHUSHUA has paid the PRICE for US, knowing we could never be
perfect. Do you understand?
Stop asking
forgiveness for something YAHUSHUA has tossed into the sea of
forgetfulness. Do you rewash CLEAN clothes? YAHUSHUA gave me
this revelation, that's what many are trying to do, to wash
their heart and certain sins away that have already been
CLEANSED. If you do the same thing again, then it needs
to be CLEANSED again by the washing of our unrighteousness
away with the CLEANSNG BLOOD OF YAHUSHUA. Other than that,
you're asking to be cleansed from something that is already
clean. Do you understand?
As long as we
asked for forgiveness, the previous sins we committed are
cleansed with the perfect shed Blood of YAHUSHUA Messiah!
YAHUVEH the Father demands Holiness and He knows we can't be as
HOLY as YAHUSHUA is, but we can when His HOLY shed Blood
washes and cleans us from unholiness!
When YAHUVEH the Father looks upon us, he sees his Son
YAHUSHUA's Blood covering us. Do you understand? Now let go
of the lies others have told you, and believe what the Word
of YAHUVEH says. You are forgiven and YAHUSHUA LOVES you so
much! You desire to please Him and walk Holy before him.
Don't ever think YAHUVEH wants anything for you but the BEST,
and He has given it to you through YAHUSHUA. |
