His finished work on the cross was our beginning...
So when Jesus had received the sour wine,
He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
John 19:30
On the platform of this simple phrase – It is finished! – we stand in the power of God’s Word that our sin is forgiven; our spiritual, emotional, and physical healing purchased; freedom is our portion; the enemy has been completely vanquished, and heaven has been secured for us.
I am ALL about feeling, sensing, and experiencing the presence and power of God in our lives. Nevertheless, there are times when we have to ruthlessly stand on the truth of God’s Word, which proclaims that Jesus’ death and resurrection finished all the unfinished business in our lives. No matter what we are feeling.
Whatever is causing you anguish, anxiety, fear, or possibly guilt, Jesus has already finished it; whatever it is you need. Stand on this truth, not your feelings. Take your hands completely off the predicament you currently face and give it to the One and Only who purchased your full redemption and healing. Wait to see what He does. Because, it is finished!
