Since the beginning of this ministry online (when the Lord first permitted me to speak publicly) - the message has always been the same, and has never changed: die to self, it's not about you only HIM, it is an honor to be chosen to partake of His sufferings, drink of His cup....no compromise, trust the Lord, walk in His perfect will no matter what the cost - and - let Him crucify your flesh, so that He can then rule and reign through you....all things are at the hands of the Lord who wants only the best for you, but sometimes the cost is high.
Who are we to NOT be crucified, if it is Him who we are to reflect? We, His disciples, followers, servants and handmaidens must experience all that HE experienced, allowing HIM to kill our flesh so that He can rule and reign through us. That means we have to go through what He went through. For most, Father God will not require that we be literally nailed to a cross - BUT there IS a crucifixion, a death (sometimes more than one!) that does indeed bring you to YOUR Gethsemane and crucifixion, which ultimately leads to your resurrection living. You WILL be mocked, scorned, spit upon, lied about, falsely accused, hated...ESPECIALLY BY BELIEVERS (so-called Christians - - - more on this later). The initial point is to introduce you to this major teaching (which is RARELY TAUGHT ANYWHERE). Less than one percent of those claiming to be Christians have ever allowed the Lord to crucify them. It is not seen as an honor...far from it. Instead, it is seen as something to run from.
You should consider it an honor that the Lord has chosen to share this with you.
Many are called but FEW are chosen.
There will be more - it should be the most powerful thing you have ever heard from His throne room.
Let Him prepare you to receive - repent and have Him wash you from all unrighteousness.
Most people do not even realize the extent to which He suffered (even as brutal as Passion of the Christ was, there is no way to show a man whose body is so brutalized and battered that it is as if His flesh was ground beef, seeing the very bones - a very miracle that He was able to get to Golgotha and even live to BE crucified). That movie also omits the Gethsemane experience - critical to the coming teaching also - and the Lord told the story so fully and completely, I doubt any of you have heard it told as He tells it.
So it begins - - - your preparation to die, to understand crucifixion and partaking of His cup in a way you may not have before....this isn't something to be taken lightly.
