"The Blood" Rescue Radio with Marjorie Cole

0:00 Music. Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul. Yes, Father God, we know. We know about the war, and we have a little understanding of the depth of that war. But you're showing us through your word and through your spirit how to be wise and how to walk in the fullness of your finished work on Calvary.

0:44 So, Lord Jesus, I thank you for dying, shedding your blood, your life blood, to pay for our lives, that you exchanged your life for our lives so that we would not be caught in the devil's argument and snare and demand that we die, and be separated from God forever. I thank you, Lord God, for your faithfulness. I thank you that you know all these things. I thank you, Lord, you've given us power over all the power of the enemy, if we're willing to use it and to believe you. And so, Father, give us the courage and the grace and the strength to follow and believe you. We bind the powers of darkness that have twisted everything you've said and twisted our perception of everything you've said, the spirits of witchcraft, divination, offense, religion, all of them.

1:29 We just bind them and command that they be exposed now and in our hearts by the light of the love and the revelation of Jesus Christ. And we also thank you, Father, for the divine promise and protection that no weapon formed against us will prosper, that no word said, deed done, or action taken, will be able to be used by the enemy to justify his destruction of us, Father God, because you know the truth and we're inscribed upon the palms of your hands through the nail prints of Jesus Christ. So, Lord, we thank you for this day and help us go forward. Amen. So we're going to be talking today about something that's very relevant for this time in the season. Why did Jesus have to die on the cross? Why? I mean, people, you know, they accept Jesus, you know, into their hearts.

2:13 What does that really mean when people say, yeah, I accept Jesus come into my heart, ask Jesus into their hearts. What does that mean? And it works. Yeah, we accept Jesus and his death, but do we understand why he had to die on the cross, why it had to be bloodshed, why we couldn't just be good to get to heaven? Well, yeah, all through the Bible, we're seeing that, you know, the blood was shed, you know, as, well, let's go back here to Cain and Abel, right? That's where it starts. When Cain killed Abel, blood was shed. The blood of Abel was crying out. Well, even before that, the blood of the lamb was shed when Abel offered his sacrifice.

2:56 And that's where the problem began. You had two different methods of approaching God. One was by the sacrifice by the blood of the lamb, which Abel brought, or the sacrifice of the fruit of our efforts. Our labors. Our labors. Our good deeds, our behavior. You know, that Cain offered. And God rejected Cain's offering and he accepted Abel's. Because the provision of the blood, life is given, the Bible says, in Leviticus 17, 11, he says. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. There you go. For it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

3:39 Atonement means a reconciliation. Right, right. And that people that aren't getting along are reconciled. All of a sudden, they apologize, they get things settled, and there's a reconciliation, and they're back together again. So the only way for us to get back together in communication with God is through the blood of Jesus Christ. Right. That relationship was broken when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden tree. And in doing that, God said whoever would eat from that tree would die. So death came. God gave that as a warning, not as a curse. They had a free will. They did not have to eat of that tree. There were plenty of other trees to eat from.

4:21 So it was a deliberate act of, you know, I would say being deceived, disobedience, but the disobedience came through the spirit of the serpent who deceived Eve. So now we have death in the middle of the garden, in the middle of the relationship, and the soul that sin shall die, and you just said in Leviticus, the only thing that can atone for the death is another death, a life for life, a death for death. So this is the atonement for the soul is in the blood. So now we have this whole problem is set up in the garden in Genesis where. Cain and Abel fight then because Cain doesn't, it's the same, it's exactly what happened.

5:06 There's still this huge, bitter war between people who offer God works, being good, keeping commandments to get to heaven versus people who believe in the simple gift of salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. So there's kind of a universal principle throughout all the world religions that there has to be some sort of sacrifice, something given to appease their idea of who God is. And some people just do, you know, they fast, they flagellate themselves, they walk on broken glass or hot coals or whatever they do, or just try so hard to be good.

5:47 And that does not work. That does not work. It's man's method of approaching God, and it certainly does not work. Well, in understanding the dynamics of the jurisdiction and the judicial spiritual principles behind all of this, the soul that sin shall die and that works don't work, we can look at again at Ezekiel. Works don't work. That's a good thing to remember. Ezekiel 18.4 says the soul that sin shall die. God is giving understanding to the people that they don't have to suffer for the sins of their fathers if they choose not to follow in the ways of their fathers. And then he says it again in Ezekiel 18.20, the soul that sin shall die. But if you choose life, then you don't have to go in the way of your father.

6:30 You don't have to suffer from his sins and idolatry, etc. But Satan uses Ezekiel 18 as a way to just—he's a scripture he's using to anchor his claim before the court of heaven, using the words of God himself that say, the soul that sin shall die. Well, Satan got them to sin in the garden, so now Satan is demanding the right to kill them. And so he's presenting his case before the high court of heaven, bringing a scripture to validate his position. So he's actually trying to use God's own word against God to verify, validate his claim that the soul that sin shall die. So humans sin, now therefore humans have to die.

7:13 So Romans 6.23, it says the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life for Jesus Christ our Lord. So, the result of sin is something that basically because we have gone against the Lord, against His Word and everything like that, it brings about death. It brings about not only physical death, but the main thing is spiritual death. Death means is a separation. So we're separated in our hearts. Hearts and minds between, there's a separation between us and God. We don't get it. We don't get the relationship that is, what's required in that relationship between us and God.

7:59 The soul that sin shall die, there's only one repair or remedy for that to atone that broken relationship. And that is the blood of, and John calls it in John 1, 20, 29, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. So he is reestablishing in the New Testament the method that God is going to use to take away the sins of the world. And in the Old Testament was blood, blood, blood, blood of the sheep, the goats, the lambs, the cattle. And all that was was the same as with little Abel in the beginning, the sacrifice, the blood of the lamb, which God was pleased with because that was the way, that was the spiritually correct way that there was going to be a remedy for sin.

8:43 And this little lamb and all those lambs, also the Old Testament, which was crazy. I mean, thousands and thousands of animals sacrificed to hold at bay Satan's demand to kill the human beings because God was saying, nope, nope, you can't have them. They're still offering the blood of this goat, this sheep, whatever, as an act of faith, believing that ultimately this blood will be fully redeemed through the blood of my son. And so as they were obedient in the Old Testament and kept the law, which was very strict on all these things. Satan did not have a right to call in his win, so to speak, because God was holding him off.

9:28 There was a stay of execution rendered by the court of heaven that as long as they were obedient to the things God had given them to do, that they were safe and that they couldn't. And although Satan, even knowing they were safe because of their obedience to God, he was still harassing them in every way he could to draw them away from God through idolatry and adultery and fornication and sorcery and witchcraft. He was pummeling that little tiny band of believers, the rest of the world he had pretty much in his hand. He was pummeling them with all kinds of temptations, which got them into a lot of trouble in every way, got them into exile several times, got to rescue them out of exile several times.

10:12 But now as we're looking at today in the New Testament after Jesus Christ died on the cross, and when he died, he said what? He said, It is finished. In other words, it is completed. I think it's done in 1930. It is finished. It's completed. In other words, the demands of the law basically were saying, you know. The soul of sin shall die. The soul of sin shall die. This is it. So the great thing about he was dying in our place for the whole world. Not that he was not just killed. He was offered up as a living and final sacrifice for sin. And all those lambs, Marjorie, that you mentioned, all that blood that was shed was pointing through to God.

11:02 Jesus Christ, the final Lamb of God, who would bear the sins, give his life, and bear the sins. You think of the whole concentration of all the sins of mankind, past, present, and future, were laid on him. Yeah. He became the guilt offering, too. He says he took all the curses in Galatians 3. He took on himself all the curses. He became a curse for us, it says. And in Peter, it's interesting, and he says this in chapter 1 of 1 Peter. He says, verse 17, And if you call on the Father who, without partiality, judges according to each man's work, now that's interesting, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your sojourning here in fear, knowing that you were not redeemed with the corruptible things like silver or gold from your aimless conduct received by the traditions of your fathers, but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

12:01 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you. He who through him believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory so that your faith and hope are in God or in the blood of Jesus, not in the good works. Although he says we can't be bought back, we can't pay this debt through silver or gold or good works. We do good works, but the good works are to come out of our abiding in Jesus Christ and as a response to his love and grace. But this was a problem because Satan knew that if we caught on to this rescue, this grace, this redemption, this free gift of salvation, that we were no longer obligated under the laws of Now, this doesn't mean we can run our life crazy and be evil, but we were no longer, and none of our works were working anyway because no one is justified by the works of the law.

12:59 So if we got this, we understood we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, Satan would have completely lost his grip upon the human race because we would have all known, oh, this is a golden ticket. This is all I have to do is ask. All I have to do is agree. All I have to do is whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord. So whosoever will is anybody who wants to. And so if you call upon the Lord and agree that it is his blood shed in your place as a substitution, his life for yours, then you are saved. That is the final payment. And Satan couldn't live with that because what would he do? What would he do with the rest of his eternal existence on the planet?

13:40 Because no one would need him or believe his lie or be afraid of him. And so what he had to do and what he did do, and he did it very well, and he did it actually through the vehicle of our own desire to know God more. So that was Eve again, oh, will this make me wise to know God more? So the vehicle that Satan set up for us to know God more, get closer to God, is the church. Now, the church that most people go to is a counterfeit at worst and a mixture at best of what's going on in the true heart of God for salvation. And what did Jesus say? He says, go preach the good news. Go preach the gospel of salvation. Go preach that you're saved if you accept my blood. That's the good news.

14:23 But what did Satan say? No, no, no. We got to have leverage here. We got to keep them afraid. We got to keep them guilty. We got to make them not sure if they're doing it right. So he kept bringing the law closer and closer. Old traditions, the legalism, the letter of the law, the religious spirits, the religious spirit of the Pharisees, which were actually demonstrating again the dichotomy between religion and grace back in Jesus's day, started with Cain and Abel, still here in the New Testament. But so Satan was bringing that closer and closer so that he could mingle and reestablish in our hearts the credibility of works, good works, keeping the law, being religious, looking pious, and Satan loves that.

15:06 He is absolutely tormenting people with anxiety, fear, worry, concern about God. Does God really love me? Am I being good enough? Da-da-da. And so all of your life then becomes consumed, reconsumed by how it's all about me being good rather than it's all about the goodness of God and I follow Him. The flip side of that in our day is that, you know, because Jesus died on the cross and He shed His blood, you know, if that's brought into the teaching. Because of what he has done, we just receive him, and then we can live any way we want to. There's legalism, and then there's licentiousness. But this kind of acceptance of, you know, I can live whatever way I want now that Jesus paid all the price for me, that is not living in true— Exactly.

15:55 It's not living in the true revelation of your identity. Your identity is made by God to love God and love God's Son, love God's work, love God's way of doing things. And so when you're in this place of flippant, irresponsible, flamboyant ingratitude, you may not even have understood your predicament in the first place. So what has happened, though, going back to what I'm talking about, is that the enemy has established all kinds of institutions. All under the counsel of being good to get to heaven, or you've got to do something that's given, or it's your fault, it's your problem. And God demands, this makes God's love conditional.

16:38 Okay, you can't get to heaven unless you genuflect or cover yourself with holy water or fast or tithe or whatever it all is. And so all these legalistic requirements are thrown back on the cross. And so we're insulting. This is, you know, when you add your works to the cross, you're insulting the work of Jesus Christ by saying, hey, Jesus, what you did was great, but it's not quite enough. I'm going to add to it my works. No, no, no. The cart is before the horse. You come to Jesus Christ. You die to yourself. You're crucified with Christ. Then you come out of that death and resurrection desiring to be like Jesus, to follow him, to allow his fruit to live in our lives.

17:24 So his fruit comes out of the abiding in him. In him. So it's not working for salvation or, you know, Paul said, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. It's God that's working within us to will and to do of his good pleasure. In other words, we're fruitful. In other words, we have to cooperate with his will. Right. We're doing, but it comes out of our being. It comes out of our abiding. But it's still our will. You know, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to have his good pleasure. Philippians, I think, is 2, 12 or 13. The thing is, that's two sides of the same coin. God cannot force you to accept his salvation, his gift, his free gift of grace and love.

18:09 He cannot force you to bring that salvation to fruition in your life unless he gets us to cooperate. And I believe salvation in the moment of accepting Jesus Christ is like when you're born alone. When you're born, there's a moment. There's a moment that you come into existence. Yes, you're in your mother's womb, but now you're born into the terra firma of life, whatever. And there's a moment, and that moment is the moment of salvation. Now, after salvation, which is a birth moment, which allows us to enter into this world and participate as human beings, and we're born into this world, now we get to participate. And so the participation is how do we participate? Do we go rogue or do we go repentant?

18:54 You know, so we have this, that's called sanctification. That's different than salvation. People get them mixed up and they think, if you're saved now, you're going to be perfect. And if you sin again, you lost your salvation. You don't die when you sin. You don't die when you fall off your bike. You get back on your bike. If you're walking with God, you're going to be sanctified. You're going to be made holy. That means that God is going to go through your temple, which he now owns because you gave it to him. He owns it because he made it. He owns it because he redeemed it or bought it back. He bought your house as is, and now he's in there with you to clean it up. That's called sanctification. So he is in there to get rid of the lies, the strongholds, the rats, the torment, or whatever it all is, to set us free to know who we are.

19:40 And we are his, but all this clutter with looking bad and behaving, misbehaving and doing drugs and being in pain and being bitter against your neighbor and being offended and all this stuff corrupts and it blocks the true intention of God and the true life that he died to give you. He died to give us an abundant life, not to survive, but to thrive. An abundant life, not to be living on a torture wreck of trying harder to be good, but on the way with Jesus, walking with Jesus Christ, who is our way. He said, I am the vine and you are the branches, John 15, 5. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit, for without me you can do nothing.

20:22 So he's talking about fruit, more fruit, and much fruit. In other words, the results of his life in us. You know, Jesus wasn't just born in Bethlehem. He grew as a man and he ministered. He healed the sick, he raised the dead, he cleansed the lepers, he gave hope. Gave life he gave rebuke to the religious hypocrites and then the final the final conquest was he came to die he came yeah he came to heal the sick raise the dead do all that stuff cast out demons but he came to defeat death and he came to go to the cross and he knew that that was from the foundation of the world that was set up before we were even before the foundation of the world yeah here's the deal, as Margie and I were reading this morning in Matthew 27, about the crucifixion and events leading up to the crucifixion and how cruel and blasphemous people were.

21:23 I mean, and especially the religious leaders, the ones who were supposedly the representatives of God to the people, were the worst, the worst of the worst. They were vicious. They were vulgar. They hated him. They were crude. They hated him. And that spirit of religion— It's still here. You know, it's still here. It's really muddying the waters in people's lives because here's the thing. A lot of people have been caught and snared in these religious strongholds, whether it's a denomination, a church, a church tradition. And they're all pretty much corrupted and the same. They all give the same—because Satan is coming to every one of them.

22:07 It doesn't matter if you're a Unitarian or a Baptist or a Pentecostal or a Catholic. Like, Satan has come into all of these institutions and set up rules, rules that you have to do to make God happy, which makes God's love, again, conditional, and moves us away from the goodness of God into he's mad and we've got to do something to make him happy. But every one of these allegiances, every alliance you've made, we're all, a lot of people, maybe 50% now, are born into a church. They're baptized into a church. They're baptized into membership, into a church. There's no church that is going to save you. There's no church called whatever that's the boat that's going to take you to the pearly gates.

22:49 You have got, you know, a lot of us need to get out of those traditions. And live as a free moral agent for the Lord God and make it not about our behavior or about following church commandments or living in fear of did I do it right or not. It's about no, because those are spirits. those religious spirits that govern these churches, and then they inhale. Consume the anointings of precious God followers, could be pastors, teachers, all these things. They have a form of godliness. They deny the power thereof. These churches are going to be, The Lord God is going to go through them and bring judgment and bring revelation, bring truth.

23:34 But the thing is, the Book of Acts church, their allegiance was to Jesus Christ, crucified and risen. And that's where they got their anointing. That's where they got their authority from Jesus Christ. And they didn't go to Bible school. They didn't write theological papers. They didn't have doctrinal degrees, theological degrees. That is nothing, nothing that God points to and says, you need to have that. Those who were writing in the Old Testament were called the prophets. They were prophets ordained by God to preach and teach and share the words that God wanted the people to understand. And we have some of that today. We have some prophets, but we have a whole lot of demonic corruption.

24:18 And if you're in a church where you have compromised, you've messed, mixed, I guess is a good word, mixed religious behaviors and traditions and expectations and church laws with the finished work, the shed blood of Jesus Christ. If you're in that compromised position, you are in a compromised position. You are not free until you say, you know what? Jesus Christ paid for that sin, for that failure, that flaw, whatever it is that Satan is accusing you, that wicked behavior. Jesus Christ paid for it. I don't want it anymore, and keeping this rule is not going to make me better. What's going to keep me better is repenting and confessing, confessing the sin and turning away from it. That's very simple.

25:06 And Jesus doesn't say you have to do four Our Fathers and three Hail Marys in order to be okay. I'm using that as an example, of course, but it's a heart agreement surrender that you make to Jesus Christ and recognizing the power of his love through his blood shed for us and that of my own self, I can do nothing. It's interesting. When you see the abuse Jesus took, the abuse, they lied about him. They spit upon him, scourged him, beat him, mocked. And a lot of the mocking was, most of it was from the religious leaders. They were just as bad as the Roman soldiers. They were. Probably worse. Worse, worse, worse, worse.

25:49 Within the plan, this was the plan within the plan. The plan, Jesus is the Lamb slain since before the foundation of the world. Right. So this was in God's plan all along. It wasn't a surprise thing. It wasn't an emergency measure. He had this perfect plan to be worked out, and it was redemption for us. And it looked like, excuse me, the plan, the abuse, the cruelty, the absolute cruelty and viciousness of Satan, demonically inspired people, religious leaders, Roman soldiers, people too, common people that were just all taken up with all this evil against Jesus.

26:36 All that was within the major plan of God, which is to bring redemption. It did not look like, oh, this is what's going to set the world free. No. When they were beating up Jesus who claimed to be the Son of God. He's hanging naked on a cross. A bloody mess. So a bloody mess. Isaiah said he did not even look like a human being anymore. And so, but all that sin was just put upon him, and all the blood that he shed was for us. He gave that blood, that life was poured out as the final sacrifice. See, sin is so serious, and God is so holy.

27:21 The only way he can deal with it, really, is through the blood of his son, his only son. The life of the flesh is in the blood, so the blood was the life. The blood carried the life. And His blood, not only His life given, is the key factor for us having this new life. He came to give us life and life more abundantly. So going back to the blood, the blood was the red thread that carried from that little lamb that Abel killed and offered in worship to God. Through the Old Testament, through the many, many sacrifices that the priests and the Levites and the children of God made back in the Old Testament to even in the carryover of the Old Testament into the first part of Jesus' life, where they were still under the Jewish traditions and the temple.

28:14 And then Jesus ran smack dab headlong into that because he was setting a new order for things. He was setting a new, the kingdom of God is now within you. The kingdom of God has come. You know, it's right here. And so we're now living in the kind of the aftermath, 2,000 years later, of that collision. And we have both things going on now. In the Old Testament, they didn't have the cross or the resurrection or any of that. But now we have the options, and Satan is pushing the options. He's pushing people into the church and away from the church. And the church is not always what we think it is. The church is not a building.

28:55 It's not a denomination. It's not a social gathering of good people or a good old boys club. It is the Church of Jesus Christ is a militant army of truth tellers who are going forth to preach the gospel of good news with signs and wonders following, using their authority as Jesus gave it to us to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Now, here's another thought. But most of us, we want to see these miracles. You want to see the casting out of demons. You want to see the, and you're saying, why isn't this happening? Why aren't these answers coming? Why, why, why? And the reason is, I believe, is because when Jesus healed the sick.

29:35 Raise the dead, cast out demons. He was able to handle it psychologically, emotionally, spiritually. And he wasn't taken up with how powerful he was and how cool this was. And did everybody see that? And, oh, wow, look at her. She can do this. Wow. Let's go see her. He wasn't taken up with any. He was totally walking around completely in the will of his father. So you could say he was walking around dead to his own will. He was only interested in the will of the father. He didn't really take anything personal, the abuse, the insults, the attempted assassinations on his life. He didn't take any of that personal because he was dead.

30:18 He was already dead to his own will. And that's why he was able to do the miracles. And I believe that when we get to that place as the Holy Spirit perfects and that which concerns us as we are. Dead to ourselves, get into the true spirit of the living God and the spirit of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that raised him from the dead, then we will also see these miracles. And they're not going to last for long, but they will last. And those who know their God, it says in Daniel, will do exploits. And these are, I believe, the exploits that we're talking about. Those people are going to have to know God and know him and not all this garbage that—it's like this. The law is like this. It's kind of just coming to me.

30:59 You know, when you carry a baby in the womb, you have the infant, the child that's being formed in the womb, but you also have the placenta, the membrane that keeps that baby in its world and keeps it functioning and keeps it fed and da-da-da. But when the baby is born, you throw away the placenta. You don't really, it's, I know, But it's like the law. The law was like the placenta, the thing that carried us as a human race to the birth of Jesus Christ. No, now the law is... Served its purpose, it is done, and now we receive Jesus Christ for who He is. And so, I really believe that if you get this revelation of what Satan has done and even how he's tricked us into making agreements with traditional churches and traditional fear, double-mindedness, legalism, law, condemnation, guilt—by the way, the fruit of the gospel of Jesus Christ is peace, peace and good news, and goodwill.

32:02 And so if you find yourself being tangled up with all that law stuff, you might need to renounce and ask God to forgive you and confess the practices of religion or mixing religion with the true gospel of Jesus Christ because you really want them separated. You really, you know, our allegiance is not to a church, church commandments, a presbytery, a membership pastor. It is to Jesus Christ. It's interesting. I'm just going to read a little bit of this in 1 Peter 1, verse 13, beginning there. Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind. In other words, be ready, be alert, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

32:47 As obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance, but as he who has called you is holy, also be holy in all your conduct. which means to be fully devoted to the Lord. Because it is written, verse 16, be holy for I am holy. And if you call on the Father who without partiality judges according to each one's works, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear, the proper fear of God. Knowing the holiness of God, wanting to be restored, your identity to be restored to that true holiness and purity that he created us in. Verse 18, knowing that you are not redeemed with corruptible things.

33:32 Redeemed means to buy out of the marketplace, to pay the price, to take you off the slave market. So we were not bought off the market by gold and silver. Not corruptible things like silver and gold from your aimless conduct. It was worthless time, poorly spent. Worthless conduct, poorly spent, confusing, received by tradition from your father. So, traditions— The history, yeah. There's a history that brings you into aimless conduct. Yeah. And that is what the traditions—you know, we're used to this, we were born into this, we were raised with that. All these are pretty much aimless and worthless, and that's why there's the redemption, the process of salvation and sanctification is to get rid of the worthless and to bring forth the pure gold.

34:16 Yeah. Jesus replaces tradition with truth. but we were redeemed, verse 19, with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world but was manifest in these last times for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory so that your faith and hope are in God. Yes, so why did Jesus have to die on the cross? We just told you, because it had to be his blood that paid the price for our redemption. I want to just quote an old gospel chorus. He paid a debt he did not owe.

35:00 I owed a debt I could not pay. I needed someone to wash my sins away. And now I sing a brand new song, Amazing Grace. Christ Jesus paid the price that I could never pay. Amen. Well, Father, we thank you for paying the price through your own son. Thank you, Jesus, for being obedient to the Father and coming. Thank you for taking all this incredible cruelty, the wickedness that you had to face just to come down here to save us, Lord God, a lamb in the midst of wolves. And so thank you, Lord, you did prevail in your plan within a plan from the foundation of the world has been completed.

35:43 The resurrection came forth, Lord God, and you were justified by your Father in the fact that you didn't stay dead. So you defeated death, and those who are in you have likewise defeated death and the grave. And so, Father, we thank you for your gracious gift, and we ask now that you'd open the hearts and minds of the people, that you'd clear off their receptor sites so that they can receive the revelation with their eyes open and their ears open, receive the love of God, and that their hearts that have been bruised and broken and shut up and locked up with fear would be restored through the love of Jesus Christ. And we ask these things, Father, in the name of Jesus, your Son, amen. Amen.

36:24 What's a special resource you think would help us with all this that's available through Life Recovery? I think the most fun resource that you could possibly check out would be liferecovery.com, God on Trial. And I mentioned that last week. Go check it out. It's an MP3. It's like $3.50 for 30 minutes, a powerful reenactment. The last couple of episodes, 24, 5, 6, are about the crucifixion, the death of Jesus Christ, and how the enemy, the behind the scenes of how the enemy was instigating that death. And it's interesting that there are many elements playing out in the death. Who killed Jesus? Was it the Romans?

37:05 Was it the scribes and Pharisees? Was it Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin? Was it—who was it? What was it? Did he lay down his life willingly? Was he killed against his will? How did all this work? And so, again, it's called God on Trial. Check out episodes 24, 5, and 6, and check it out. Of course, you can go back and listen to episode 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. They're all really, really good. I mean, it's nothing like anything you've ever had or seen or listened to before. It is really a standalone one of its kind. I don't know of anybody else who's done anything like this. You maybe have the screw tape letters. You have Narnia and, you know, whatever all that looks like.

37:47 But this is totally different from that. So, again, be curious enough to check it out. God bless you. Have a great day. Thank you. Music. Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul.
