Why We Can Have the Abundant Life
“The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:10-11 WEB)
Under the Old Covenant of the Law, the blood of goats and bulls could only sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh and its effects only lasted for one year. This sacrifice had to be repeatedly yearly as a reminder of sins. It could not purge the guilt of sin in the spirit, so the debt of sin was only being temporarily covered, but not taken away.
If the value of Jesus’ life was just enough to cover the guilt of the sins of the whole world, everyone would be able to receive salvation, but that salvation would only involve being spared from eternal destruction in Hell and the lake of fire, and nothing more than that.
However, consider the value of this man who is also God. His life is worth infinitely more than our sin debts, and all that excess after deducting our debts—that is the basis for us to enjoy the true abundant life.
Jesus came to lay down His life for us, not just so we can be saved from Hell, but also to give us access to the riches of God’s Grace. We are able to prosper in all things and be healthy, even as our souls prosper (3 John 1:2), thanks to the blood of Christ being a massive overpayment for our sins.
If God only paid just enough for our sins, we would not have the confident assurance to expect any good things from Him. We would be like slaves bought at a price, only to have the minimum quality of life needed to survive.
But thanks to Jesus’ finished work at the cross, we don’t even have to wonder if our sins are really paid in full. We don’t have to second-guess if God wants to bless us with much more. It is obvious that God wants us to have life and life more abundantly as royal priests who are children of God.
Faith is tied to how you perceive the atonement accomplished at the cross. The greater you esteem its value, the easier it is to have boldness of confidence, to expect good things from God.
Instead of giving us a sheep to pay for our sins, God gave us a shepherd which is worth much more! Have a renewal of mind, from thinking that God won’t bless you with much, to believing that all that He has is yours (Luke 15:31), and that it is His good pleasure to give you the Kingdom (Luke 12:32)!
There are so many powerful revelations in the four gospels that will give us bold faith for miracles and to expect the goodness of God. Understand them through the lens of grace: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

Turn Up the Intensity
Recently there’s been many mosquitoes in the bathroom, and we were wondering where the source was. Mosquitoes like to breed in areas where there is stagnant water.
Today, we got so annoyed with the non-stop mosquitoes that we looked under a covered up drainage area in the bathroom and it looked gross. We used a light intensity of water to hose the area but nothing came out. After that, I turned up the intensity of the water, and guess what? A huge mass of hair was dislodged and flowed to the drain cover where we could see it!
That was seriously the stuff of nightmares. But it reminded me how many of us just get by with one sermon a week and expect it to be enough.
All this time, we have been using the hose and the shower head, but the intensity of water flowing into the drainage area was just not enough to push the mass of hair out.
When you don’t receive a high enough intensity of God’s word, you get by, but lots of junk builds up in your heart where you can’t see it. It is a cesspool of germs and everything disgusting. Soon, mosquitoes are going to be breeding there and you’ll see them fly out in the form of emotional outbursts, stress, sickness, and all sorts of manifestations of death.
One blast of a high-intensity water stream was able to dislodge the build-up of hair. Perhaps you are just one “focused session of feeding on the water of God’s word” away from your breakthrough. A session whereby you are truly paying attention and seeking the Lord’s power and counsel, without being distracted by your smartphone or something else.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is where God’s power unto salvation is. Receive it—a lot of it, and all the accumulated garbage of wrong beliefs shall be forced out into the light and destroyed once and for all!

Our Great God Protects His Beloved
“And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. They went up over the width of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them. The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” (Revelation 20:7-10 WEB)
Can you imagine an army led by the devil as vast as the number of grains of sand in the sea—how scary that would be in the natural?
You’d expect that army to bulldoze through everything. It will surround Jerusalem at that time.
The fact that the army could make it there must mean that it had destroyed all the lines of defense that protected Jerusalem.
And yet when the devil thinks he’s going to win it all, he will realize that God has been waiting for that exact moment to utterly destroy him.
Fire falls from Heaven and destroys the vast demonic armies that will cover the face of the earth.
Everything temporal will be burnt up and only Jerusalem will be left untouched with the lake of fire exposed and burning hot under it.
The devil will be cast into the lake of fire. His screams of agony will be the loudest, echoing throughout eternity, for he filled the cup of wrath for himself beyond measure.
When it seems like the enemy is making inroads in your life, it doesn’t mean that God is unaware of what’s going on.
There is a perfect moment for Him to save you and to demonstrate His greatest glory.
Without an opportunity for Satan to make his move, we won’t be able to see exactly how much greater our God is.
No matter how great the challenge, we’ll always discover that our God is greater.
At that time in the Millennium there will be a temple in Jerusalem—the one that prophet Ezekiel saw a vision of. The armies of Satan will surround that temple.
The apostle Paul taught that today our bodies are the temple of God since it houses the Holy Spirit.
It may seem like your spiritual enemies have got you surrounded right now. They may have broken through some lines of defense.
But I’m telling you, fire from Heaven is going to fall upon those demons at the perfect time.
They may have gathered against you one way, but they will flee seven ways after being incinerated by the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Get a sense of how much greater your God is than the devil. The devil is small fry. If God is for you, no devil nor demon can stand against you!
Just like Jerusalem is referred to as the “beloved city” in the passage above, you are also God’s beloved child.
When you believe you are His beloved, you will remain in peace because you know you’re going to win!
After the passage above is the part about the Great White Throne Judgment.
In my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”, I elaborate about the encouraging truths about judgment for believers before Jesus’ throne, how to maximize our eternal rewards, live a worthy life and fulfill our God-given calling!
Jesus wants us to receive the best rewards that last forever. One day we will stand before His throne to receive our eternal rewards.
By His Grace, we can redeem the time and walk wisely when time is so short!
I believe the Rapture will happen soon so we need to understand reward theology more than ever—our redemption draws near so its time to be looking up!

lyrics:
In the darkness, we were waiting
Without hope, without light.
'Til from Heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
