During a Church service I saw in a vision the Cross and light shines forth from the Cross covering the congregation. And I received this revelation about the Church being under the grace of God. When a person comes to Christ, he enters into the grace of God.
You see, the whole earth was cursed since the time of Adam. Ever since that time, man lived with a heavy burden upon his life. He was disconnected from God so there was no way that he can come to God. And he has to fight his way through life. He has to battle with his own kind, he has to battle with nature, and he has to battle against all other creatures and animals.
The Jews enjoyed a little bit of relief through the covenant of the Law. But that too was just as heavy a yoke as living without the Law. Nevertheless, God rejoined Himself to man so that if they keep the law, they will be blessed. But if they keep not the law, then they would suffer the consequences. And the Law was just too tough to keep that nobody was really able to keep it. But thanks be to God because He also provided a way to make up for their shortcomings through sacrifices.
The law was good but it still comes short of the life that God really wants for man. And so God sent His Son in the likeness of man to finally deal, once and for all, with the issue of sin. And He conquered sin for us! What we could not do, He did for us! And not only that, He even washed us clean with His own blood!
And so now we are no longer cursed, we are not under the law, but God has set us free! And this is really what the Cross is all about. It's about freedom! There was no way that man can ever get out of that curse for in the first place the curse was also a decree from God.
I remember that story in the book of Esther. The King could not withdraw back the decree that was already issued to destroy the Jews. What the King did was to issue another decree so that the Jews can defend themselves. The same story here. God cannot just take back the curse that He decreed way back during the time of Adam. But He made a way out of that curse and God made another decree. And that decree is in Jesus Christ, through faith in Jesus Christ. He's the only way. It is the way of the Cross; while the world outside remains accursed.
And so brother, if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are now loosed from the curse! You are set free from the curse! And you can now dream big. Set your goals and achieve them to the glory of God the Father! You have a big life ahead of you. The destroyer cannot touch you because he has nothing in you. He has no case against you. Live your life a free man with the gift of God in your hands. Glorify Him through your life!
