Welcome to Sandra's "In Him" moments.
My name is Sandra. I have been in ministry for most of my life. When I was a baby, my father took me to the church that they were attending and laid me on the alter and dedicated me to God, The Father. God has moved in my life growing up. I have grown in Him and as I learn, I want to share with others what He shows me. I have so much to share, and I pray that you also receive what the Holy Spirit reveals.
Today we celebrate Passover, April 22, 2024. This is the true meaning of the world's "Easter".
We know that Jesus suffered physical pain, emotional trauma, and spiritual agony.
Today I want to deal with Luke chapter 22:42, which states, "Father, if thou be willing, remove this CUP from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done". Notice Jesus referenced the "CUP". This cup represents spiritual abandonment. That is why, on the cross, he cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Isaiah 51:17 & 22, makes a reference to this cup of trembling. Verse 17 is talking to Jerusalem.
The word says, " you have drank at the hand of the Lord, the cup of His fury; you have drank the dregs of the cup of trembling and have wrung them out". The cup of trembling, represents, God's wrath. That cup of God's wrath is to be consumed, even to the very bottom. (An example would be: coffee grounds that are left in the bottom of the cup. That which normally would be thrown out, had to be drunk).
What is all drunk, represents the full punishment of God. Jesus drank ALL suffering, ALL sickness, ALL pain, ALL sin ever committed. It was at this level that Jesus is forsaken, abandoned, deserted, stranded by God Himself, and he felt all of this intense pain of loss and loneliness, in the core of his being. For justice to be done, someone had to drink this cup and Jesus became and took upon himself, that curse of sin, so that very curse would be wiped out. It was this profound abandonment from his Father, that came closer to breaking Jesus, than anything else. That cup of trembling that Jesus drank; he turned into; a cup of salvation and life, for ALL who accept him, as Lord. So, he is our Passover Lamb, who drank ALL the dregs of God's wrath, so we might have life abundantly.
Footnote: I will never be able to drink a cup of coffee, tea or anything in a cup, without thinking of His sacrifice. Blessings, Love you. Sandra
This is from a post on Facebook that I replied to: FYI: I am replying to the request of people who have asked for the authors of the books that I have been reading: These authors will challenge, stretch and feed you The Word.
The beginning of my search began a few years ago with Jesus saying, “as it was in the days of Noah, so shall also the coming of the son of man be”. Jesus question led me to what happened during the days before The Flood of Noah. Genesis 6th chapter always bothered me and for years I sought an answer! It was a lot more than the church ever shared. In fact, multiple times I was told to forget that chapter for it was too controversial. The following books may help you gain understanding of those days and what we may face in the near future! I give all credit to these authors for what The Precious Holy Spirit has revealed to me!!
1) Ancient book of Enoch by Ken Johnson, Th.D.
2) multiple books by Tom Horn
3) Blood Alliance by Zev Porat
4) Kevin Zadai
5) Carl Gallups.
6) Derek & Sharon Gilbert
7) Before Genesis by Donna Howell
8) Kevin Kleiman, Documentary on the suffering of Jesus (Kleiman’s teaching on the sufferings of Jesus had much revelation, including The Cup)
9) My favorites are Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce (as you may know) for their love for our nation and the prophetic! These are but a few so enjoy (the dig). Blessings
