GOLGOTHA
Calvary Greetings to you, my Beloved, from the Gambia.
Great is the love with which the Father hath loved us in that He made us worthy to see into things the Angels of God desired to look into but which have been kept for us.
I pray that your faith will continue to grow to a stage where it magnetises everything around you.
Amen.
GOLGOTHA! [A place of a skull]
"....And when they had a crown of thorns, they
put it upon His head, and a reed in His right
hand: and they bowed the knee before Him, and
mocked Him, saying, “Hail! King of the Jews!”
And they spit upon Him and took the reed, and
smote Him on the head......and when they were
come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say
"a place of a skull," They gave Him vinegar........
...Mathew.27:28-34.
Our Lord Jesus Christ; after they had Mocked Him, Stripped Him, Scourged Him, and accused Him; brought Him to Golgotha, that is a place of a skull. They were not satisfied.They gave Him vinegar mingled with gall. They did everything they could to make Him deny His course at Golgotha [a place of skull] Jesus did not experience this at Jerusalem the city of God, neither at Samaria where Jacob’s well is, neither at Egypt the unbelievers place. All the effort of satan is to destroy the course and destiny of Christ.
All the moves of satan, to destroy the destiny and purpose of Christ, were concentrated at Golgotha [a place of a skull].
"It is the spirit that quickeneth, the FLESH
profits nothing; the word I speak unto you
they are spirit and life" John.
We have to look behind the curtain and see into the Spirit. The word of God is Spirit, not tangible. God wants us to understand something. That was why He laid emphasis on "a place of a skull." In a body, "the place of the skull can only be found at the head. The skull encases the brain where all the information is received, stored, and transmitted to the other parts of the body. The health of the brain goes a long way to determine the course of the body.
The brain [mind] is the 'power house'. The 'power house' here means the place where decisions are taking. The decisions to move, talk, do things, everything that has to do with the well-being of the body.
Golgotha is "a place of a skull" where the brain is.
The brain is the mind where decisions are taken A BIT FURTHER:
Golgotha is the "place of a skull" which is the place of decision. Are you following? Amen?
Now let us go back to Mathew.27:33. It reads:
"And when they were come to unto a PLACE called 'a place of decision' [Golgotha].......
Jesus, being baptised in Jordan at the beginning, was attacked by Lucifer the devil with twisted quotations of the scriptures. The Lord conquered him there. (Mathew.3,4.) Having lost the battle;
"......the devil departed from Him for a season"
He came back with full force, accusing, slandering, pushing the Jewish leaders plus the Roman army.
"He was oppressed, and He was afflicted
....Isaiah .53:7
and then they "Came unto a place of decision" [Golgotha.]
It has been said that the battle of Armageddon shall be fought at the valley of decision.
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision.".. ...Joel 3:14.
Brethren, we must be sober and vigilant: because your adversary the devil walketh about seeking whom he MAY devour.
The devil has no power to devour the Lord. Neither does he have the power to devour the sons of God in Christ Jesus.
Never!
"But as many as received Him to them gave He Power.....John.1:12.
CHILD of God, anyway you look at it, you are engaged in this fierce battle of the soul.
Armageddon is the battle between the forces of good and evil. You are engaged directly or indirectly. The battle is strong! The battlefield is the mind. And this battle is hot right in the valley of decision; The mind.
Don't just pray about it! Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
"Looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher
of our faith; who for the joy that was set before
Him endured the cross....."Heb.12:2.
'Our cross' cannot be found
at Jerusalem [church services]
nor at Samaria [those who don't like us]
nor in Egypt [unbelievers]
NB: Temptations can come through any of the above last two, projected by the enemy.
'Our cross' is at Golgotha, a place of skull which is the valley of decision.
Our Lord consistently defeated the enemy in all the battles against His mind.
The ultimate battle was won at Golgotha on the cross.
"And after spoiling principalities and powers,
He made an open show of them triumphing over
them in His death” [cross].
Right now, you are in the middle of a battle! You cannot avoid it. You have to:
"Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be
able to withstand in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand.” Ephesians .6:13.
......................................................
Golgotha {a place of decision}
We will look deeper into these {valley of decision} and the attacks [including the modes of attack] projected at us by the hordes of the enemy. Stay tuned. Know it for real. It is at this place [Golgotha] that many Sons of God either turn or move higher in the Lord.
Remain Blessed.
