You cannot have the spirit of Calvary working in you as a principle and be messed up in life. Even if you find yourself in a mess, caught in a web, and tangled in a mesh, Calvary will sort you out!
You may be cast down but you are not destroyed. Perplexed, you will not be in despair.
Calvary remains “the highest expression of God’s life.” This is the life we are carrying. The enemy thinks he has finished us, suddenly we jump up and out of whatever pit of destruction. We are refreshed and made fresh again, and set about the Lord’s task.
Calvary cannot take you into death and will not bring you out. Calvary measures what comes to you. Whatever comes to us is what He has allowed and He will bring us out of it. Once we are God’s disciples He is committed to sorting us out whatever comes unto us. Our enemies cannot rejoice over us. They cannot box us into a corner. Because our spirit is one with Christ’s Spirit, He will raise us up. We are inseparable from Christ, and Christ cannot be destroyed by the enemy.
They would come close to finish David, he would escape. Very close shave with death, David escaped. It was the Spirit of resurrection!
Disciples are very privileged and blessed set of people. Satan cannot rope them into evil. It is God Himself that puts them into death for His great purpose and for their highest good.
Dying, yet they live. Poor, making many rich. Having nothing but possessing all things. All authority in heaven and earth is given to Him. He had the keys of death and hell.
Calvary led Joseph to the pit and brought him out; led him to Potiphar’s house where he was falsely accused and brought him out, then to prison and took him to the palace.
Calvary cannot take us into death, and not bring us out, and give us ascension. Joseph was brought out and he ascended to the high position. Anytime we experience Calvary it is so that we will be ascended into the heights in Him. Calvary never brings us down, rather it takes us up. We can never embrace the cross and be made irrelevant in life or be parked like an old abandoned vehicle!
Life without Calvary experience is a drudgery. No life. No grace. No power. No testimony. No unction.
Calvary experience goes along with resurrection life, ascension, exaltation, and enthronement. It is a total package!
You are welcome to a new month! May Christ’s Cross sort us all out in whatever dealings the Lord will bring our way! Have a blessed Sunday! Have a blessed week! Have a blessed month and beyond! Amen!
