THE CROSS
The cross does not subtract life; it lays down life to give life, just like a seed, it falls to the ground and dies, to spring up with a new life, with the old completely done away with. The cross is a symbolic pointer revealing a bridge connecting humanity back to divinity after the separation that occurred with the fall of man. Without the cross, there is no crossing over from death to life, even when a man lives life, such man cannot live in the afterlife and not living in the afterlife, simply implies utter darkness that defines living without the light of ASCAT’s life. The cross is the symbolic key to the portal of eternal life (EL) and eternal life is simply the span of ASCAT and that is why EL is the initial representing ASCAT, of which His character or attributes can suffix to make up His name. The cross is the key with a password that runs with encryption that is coded in the question “Where are you?” and to access the portal, the pin that must be entered in must be the WAY, and you must answer these two questions:
1. Who are you? IDENTITY (Christ’s) (1 Corinthians 3: 23)
2. Where are you? POSITION (Faith) (2 Corinthians 5: 17)
There is no faith without Christ and Christ defines the anointing that can only be reached with personal encounter through the anointed one and the anointed one defines the very person of ASCAT.
Philippians 2: 16, Ephesians 2: 16
Holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or laboured in vain. And that He might reconcile them both to ASCAT in one body through the CROSS, thereby putting to death the enmity.
Matthew 10: 38, 39
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
You cannot take your cross except you have first submitted to ASCAT and what I mean by submission is simple, coming to ASCAT and the place of submission is a place of rest and you can only rest at the foot of the cross. A man who is not tired of the things of this world can never have rest because rest could only come as a result of exhaustion. The cross must be embraced for true rest to be experienced because as you embrace the cross, you will rest in peace in the love of ASCAT and this simply means you are casting all your burdens on Him who cares for you.
The reason why men are not coming to rest in ASCAT is because of the heavy burden of sin.
Matthew 11: 12, 28, 29
And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
It is so pathetic the reason why men are not finding rest for their souls, is because they are not coming to the Lord and even when they claim to becoming, they are not walking in the good ways after standing in the ways. The yoke of ASCAT upon man is to obey His order and this is it encrypted as GO as captured in Matthew 28: 19 and this is what defines the Great Commission. Until we deny ourselves (Matthew 16: 24), we will never be able to carry our cross and the cross is the seal of our identity, which implies, if we don’t carry our cross, we cannot follow Christ. Your cross is to trust and obey ASCAT. A selfish man can never obey ASCAT and obedience is the function of trust, because you cannot obey someone you did not trust. Trust is a vital ingredient in our relationship with each other and much more with ASCAT. ASCAT cannot entrust you with His grace when you cannot trust Him, this implies, we are obligated to trust ASCAT and He is obligated to entrust us with His grace. Trusting ASCAT is a function of total obedience to the perfect will of ASCAT.
There is nothing like trust in ASCAT when obedience is partial.
Your cross to bear is to trust and obey ASCAT and anyone who does not carry his cross cannot be the disciple of Jesus Christ (Luke 14: 27). The remnant of the sons of ASCAT has the mandate of the cross that calls to glory and a man who is not called to glory, cannot live in glory. The cross separates (sanctifies) and this could be a form of experience that is termed long-suffering and those who truly believe in ASCAT will go through trying times, but with ASCAT through Jesus Christ, they are more than conquerors. Separation is often what distinguishes those who are chosen from those who are called that are often the majority. Most people are called into the religious mindset that projects a form of worship, but deny the power thereof and this power speaks of the urgency of ASCAT’s calling for the now to win souls. This power can only be activated via true worship (John 4: 23) to fully manifest (reveal) so that ASCAT will fully manifest His life through us in the time that we are in that is very perilous and evil (Ephesians 5: 15, 16).
