IT IS FINISHED; IT IS DONE


(John 19:30)  Then when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and gave up the spirit.

The day that Jesus hung on the cross, we hung there with Him.  The lamb was slain before the foundation of the world and we were there in the heart of God when it happened.  We didn't kill Jesus as we have been taught to believe.  Sin didn't kill Him!  He was the spotless lamb that was offered FOR sin to exact the payment.  In the Old Testament, the father of the house had to take a lamb and offer it for the sins of the family.  He would lay his hands upon the lamb thereby imputing the sins and then slay it. God, Our Father, who gave us the pattern for things, provided HIMSELF a Lamb and offered Him as an offering for us. ONE TIME, FOREVER!  The blood was sufficient enough to touch the halls of eternity.

So Jesus DIED, He was BURIED, He was QUICKENED, He was RAISED, He ASCENDED and He is SEATED in heavenly places on the right hand of Majesty on High!

2 Corinthians  5:17; Col. 2:12-14 ; Romans 6:4 Ephesians 2:5 ;Ephesians 4:8

Paul said it so eloquently: I AM CRUCIFIED with Christ: nevertheless I live; YET NOT I, but CHRIST LIVES IN ME: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and GAVE himself FOR me (Galatians 2:20). 

And then Paul told us to know NO MAN after the flesh but after the Spirit and that includes ourselves. For if we know man after the flesh, we will only see guilt, sin, and condemnation.  But if we know man after the Spirit, we behold the NEW CREATION MAN.  God grant us the eyes to see TRUTH and behold the CHRIST in ourselves and in others. 

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. We  have overcome the enemy through the blood of Jesus, the supreme sacrifice and our TESTIMONY is IT IS FINISHED and we love not our lives (own wills, mind, emotions) unto death.  Meaning we love HIM more and we let our own self-will, our own self-life die to HIS.

What is a finished work mentality?

Man born of GOD overcomes the world, a finished work mentality, a Done deal, we are changing our world through Dominion...John 5:4, whatsoever is Born of GOD, overcomes the world.

Time between it is finished and it is done.

Rev 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

It shall be done. The culmination of all things shall be done. Jesus said on the cross "It is finished" and in Revelation He will say, "It is done". On the cross it was done in the spirit. From the Temple in Heaven it is accomplished in His body - His Temple!

On the cross it was done in the Spirit. From the Temple in Heaven it is accomplished in His body - His Temple!

And the parts of the body shall be gathered together into the head; the living stones shall be gathered together into the headstone; the fruit shall be gathered together, the wheat shall be gathered together for the Bride is ready and is joined to her bridegroom forevermore.

FINIS!!
