FOR THE JOY

HEBREWS 12:2 (TPT) “We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: because His heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be His, He endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!”

Jesus shared with me this morning:

“Have you ever wondered what I was thinking about when I hung on the Cross? What SUSTAINED Me through this painful ordeal? It was thinking about YOU that kept Me on the Cross and gave Me the STRENGTH to COMPLETE the work of SALVATION. I saw each face come up before Me of those who would be TRANSFERRED from the kingdom of darkness and into the GLORIOUS KINGDOM OF LIGHT. I watched you be RESTORED to the Father’s HEART and in the midst of great pain and suffering, JOY FILLED MY HEART, and it SUSTAINED Me. Right now as the Army of Light, you are in a place of DEEP BATTLE and SUFFERING to see the Kingdom COME and His will be DONE on the earth as it is in Heaven. Let the JOY OF THE PROMISED FUTURE fill you with HOPE. See those you are praying for HEALED, SET FREE from deception, OVERCOMING addiction and identity confusion, and WALKING in true righteousness and justice. See their faces LIT UP with the knowledge of Who I AM and how I AM working in this age of REFORMATION and RENAISSANCE. Picture the beautiful UNITY that will flow from the GREAT AWAKENING. You are SHARING in My sufferings in this great battle but hold onto THE JOY SET BEFORE YOU to carry you through to the SHINING VICTORY.”
