Truth University Teaching: the Cross
We must enter into HIS DEATH if we are to be

resurrected by his life!

Unless a corn of wheat falleth into the ground

and Die, it brings forth no fruit.

  1. ARE U THE LIVING SACRIFICE
    Rom 12:1 …present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
    acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service
    1
    People are now, to bring themselves to God instead of
    sacrifices to the altar as of old. They are now to be wholly the
    Lord’s as were the former sacrifices.
     
     
    e [reasonable worship, performed with the heart, mind, and soul of intelligent saved people…
    Romans 12:2 (KJV)
    2  And BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: but BE YE TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind,
    that ye may prove [prove it] what is that good, and acceptable,
    and perfect, will of God.????

 Building up faith
 Intersession
 Travial
Romans 8:26 (KJV)
26   Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:

searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the
saints according to the will of God.

    nothing more to complete it. – Do this until he comes!!!!

Then you can say like Paul

CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST
Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but
Christ lives in me!!!!

It takes nails, wood, rock, stone, stakes, blood
sweat, and tears to build anything
worthwhile.-at

Jesus built your Salvation…Jesus Alone builds
your Sanctification!!!

If you want your best life now and in
eternity you have to let him crucify your

current one!-at

  1. Crucified-4717 σταυρόω [stauroo / 1 to stake, drive down stakes. 2 to fortify with
    driven stakes,WHY? to crucify the flesh, and destroy its power …with intense pain).
     Romans 8:13 (KJV)
    13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
    body, ye shall live.
     Colossians 3:5 (KJV)
    5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate
    affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
     -renunciation of the world, that characterizes the true Christian life.
     Love not the world…
    Matthew 16:24 (KJV)
    24  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himSELF, and take up
    his cross, and follow me.

The roman judicial custom — the condemned person carried his stake to the place of
his execution, —this was applied by the Lord to those sufferings by which His faithful
followers were to express their fellowship with Him.
 Are you crucified with Christ.?
 X marks the spot. When did you cease to
exist, when did you die?
Luke 9:23 (KJV)
23  And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross daily, and follow me.
 Why is Christ still dealing with so much of
your flesh and desire, if you are really
dead????
 Are you willing??? To be baptized into Christ’s Death?

There is a cost to Christianity!!!
Matt. 10:34-39 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on
earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come

to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother
in law. 36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 37
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of
me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not
worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross,
and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find it. 2 – Death to all that you are.=
Equals LIFE, HIS LIFE LIVED IN YOU!!!!!
Total renunciation and separation from the world and the things of this world.
Come to Christ? Count The Cost? Because it will cost
everything, BUT THE GAIN IS EVERYTHING…JESUS
Here is God’s answer to easy believeism, and the seeker

sensitive, SELF message:

Death.

There is no such thing as a halfhearted

Christian.

He does not want partnership, but ownership

of us.

2 The Holy Bible : King James Version. 1995 (Mt 10:34-39). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.

It is all or nothing. Eternal Life or Eternal Damnation in
Hell. You don’t ease your way into this, you give your life
to him and say, “not my will but thine be done.!!!!” Why

because Jesus paid it all!

CRUCIFIED THE FLESH
Gal 5:24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
 If you haven’t they you are not Christ’s.

Today’s Church needs a mighty overhauling by
divine Hands, she needs The Message Of The
Cross and The Baptism With The Holy Ghost
And Fire. –They are both here at FWC.

When the Lord Christ ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN from
Mt. Olivet, He charged the disciples that they should “wait
for the promise of the Father” – the “baptism of the Holy
Ghost” with its power.
        This promise was exclusive – “Ye shall receive power.”
Who was to receive the promise? Only the followers of Christ.
        The promise was exciting – “Ye shall receive power.” In
eager anticipation of this blessed enduement, the waiting ones
could see all their weakness evaporating in the baptism of fire.
        The promise was explicit – “Not many days hence.”

        The promise was expanding – This thing was not to be done
in a corner, nor whispered among the redeemed. It would
reach out through them to Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost
parts of the earth. – It didn’t stop with me, raise your hands if
you were baptized in the holy ghost while being here at FWC
        This promise was exalting – In the whole world of created
things there is no greater power than that of the Holy Spirit of
God. They were to Be Filled With The Spirit Of The
Living God. Earth has no greater honor than that.
–        AS Angels, behold and wonder!
