The Old Rugged Cross

This is the word of the Lord....

I have recognized a stable and functioning portion of my people who have climbed on the Cross of Calvary to understand the strength and endurance of its purpose to my people. I have also seen an ever-growing material need in many of my people that has given me displeasure. The process of contentment in an old wooden cross is a substantial and recognized place that every one of my people need to be close to. It's not a fad to recognize the endurance of the cross, It's a safety net to your lives. There is never a doubt in clinging to its strength and its conditional frame of reference for your everyday needs as well as your special requests.

The cross never fails but those who cling to the condition of the world and the ups and downs of their bank accounts will be sadly lost and forsaken when the elements of the material world begin to shake!

What you hold on to will either give you courage or you will fail the test of perseverance and wash away under the untethered guide of a false hope. Place your hope and confidence only in me and the strength and endurance of the Cross of Calvary that can't and will never give you a false condition of safety.

Storms will always cross your path, but the story of the Cross will give you the distinct understanding and peace of the only one who can take away the discouragement, fear and anxiety and leave you with true and unending hope that you will never be left alone. For the Father of Light will shine a beacon for you to follow, no matter the darkness or pain.

Separation from my presence will bring true grief that can never be overcome, so do not allow the shallow thoughts of self-care to replace the Old Rugged Cross....for its beauty is there to bear the brunt of any and all heavy and weighty floods that will come to my people.

Seek not a replacement to the fulfillment of redemption and resurrection power that can never be revoked. For once and for all my son was crucified for your transgressions and carried your burdens.... what material wealth or substance can replace that?

My personal commentary and scripture: The Lord gave me Jeremiah Chapter 6. A warning for those who are walking in error before God. Look for the old paths and walk there. Hear oh nations of the world for you have rejected me and have grieved me. The Lord has rejected those of all ages who pleasure in the ways of this Worldly life. They are easy prey to Darkness useless and worthless. So repent and follow the old ways again set forth by the written word of God. Let us pray that we will be refined by the Lord as Silver is refined.

Wow.... that's a strong rebuke, but with God All Things Are Possible and He loves us enough to continue to guide and re-direct us again and again even in our deepest Sin! There is always a way OUT as long as you have not given yourself over completely to darkness and turned from the father.

This is A Correction to his people to re-direct your Path and turn to the Cross that stands as an emblem of His victory over Death and Sin, Love and Reconciliation, it draws me Because of its power to release me from my burden of guilt and shame. It redirects me with the attention of my heart... Once I craved for my own glory and independence from God But now, I am directed toward the power and glory of God that draws me to be obedient and wise as I stand at its base looking up at its redemption power. Oh, the Cross of Jesus it washes White as Snow!

If you are in a place today where you are lost...Broken... without direction or maybe just overburdened turn your eyes in the direction where the Lord is pointing to you "come to me my child with your heavy burdens your unanswered questions and lay them at the cross and I will carry them for you!"
