The Seven Places Jesus Shed Blood & What It Accomplished for You
His Brow — Freedom from worry, anxiety, fear, and mental anguish.
His Beard — Shame, reproach, and humiliation removed; honor restored.
His Back — Healing from sickness, disease, and physical brokenness.
His Head (Crown of Thorns) — Redemption from the curse; blessing and fruitfulness restored.
His Hands — Redemption of our work and empowerment for good works.
His Feet — Dominion, victory, and authority over the enemy restored.
His Side — Cleansing, new covenant access to God, and the birth of the Church.
People teach the anointing comes from being pressed by hardship. Not true. The Bible says the anointing comes from the Holy Spirit. It’s not manufactured by pain.
Fire tests gold, but it doesn’t make gold. Trials don’t create the anointing, they reveal it.
Be encouraged. You don’t need more crushing to be useful. Stop glorifying the pressure and start glorifying the God who put The Holy Spirit within you.
🚨THE PRIMARY LAW OF BLESSING
You don’t belong to yourself. Christ bought you with his blood (1 Cor 6:19).
⛓️ Paul, Peter, and John understood that they were slaves (bondservants) of Christ. He’s the master; we’re his servants. Masters give commands; servants obey them.
🧭 It’s prideful to think that you can determine your own direction and still expect God to bless you. (Psalm 127:1)
💵 God only pays for what he orders (See Luke 22:35).
🔪 Abraham couldn’t sacrifice Isaac anywhere—only where God showed him.
🌾 Isaac couldn’t live (and reap 100 fold) anywhere—only where God showed him.
🐦⬛ Elijah couldn’t be sustained anywhere—only by the brook and the widow God showed him.
🇮🇱 Israel wouldn’t be blessed anywhere—only in the land God promised them.
🏥 Namaan couldn’t be cleansed of leprosy anywhere—only in the Jordan river (where God’s prophetic word directed him).
‼️ Your blessing is directly tied to people (to whom am I called?), places (where am I called?), and things (what am I called to do?).
🕊️ THAT is the power of being led by the Holy Spirit. Don’t make decisions; obey instructions . . . and expect explosive increase!
—From my spirit (not ChatGPT) to yours.
Greater the problem, greater the opportunity. But most people turn and run away from problems only to wonder why they can’t find opportunities.
If you aren’t looking at the problem to find an opportunity within it, you are looking at the problem with the wrong perspective.
At what point do you think the evangelicals who voted for the “pro all life” Dems will realize they’ve made a terrible mistake? When they can’t preach what they want from the pulpit? When they’re forced to pay for gender transitions? When socialized healthcare proves a disaster?
Updating my LA County graph
LA County, despite one of the longest, strictest mask mandates, with very high compliance, looks like this compared to major surrounding counties & other big states w/late mask mandates (if at all)
Remember this when you see "masks save lives”
