1) In the garden he prayed till his sweat turned to blood.
2) At the whipping post he was beaten, Isaiah 53:5 by his stripes i am healed.
3) They placed a crown of thorns on his head. Adam was cursed in Eden Genesis 3:17, but JESUS redeemed us from the the curse. Galatians 3:13.
4) They nailed his hands, What you put your hands to shall prosper.
5) They nailed his feet, you can posses what you walk on.
6) They pierced him in his side. He bled outwardly.
7) He bled internally from the piercing of his heart.
The Priest sprinkled blood on the mercy seat with there fingers seven times.
JESUS became a curse that the curse could be lifted from us. Cursed is everyone that hang from a tree.
Joshua gave the order to hang the five kings and in the evening he ordered there bodies be taken down and buried outside the city that the curse would not remain on the land.
Christ was also taken down in the evening and buried outside the city in a borrowed grave.
Surely JESUS paid it all, let us truly celebrate our victory in CHRIST.

Yesterday reminds us of what could have, and should have, but didn't happen. Some may look at 2007 as a blurr or maybe even a bad dream, but in-spite of what we may or may not have received God is still God and what he started he will finish. 2nd Peter 1: 2,3 tells us Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
The favor we have learned to expect and the peace we desire is birthed in us through what we know about God. What i have come to know is all i need to succeed he has already given me. By obtaining the keys unto the kingdom [MT 16:19] i can unlock all he has promised, and lockup all he has not ordained for me. Deut 28:1 says hearken diligently to his voice do and observe his commands and all his blessings become ours. Joshua 3:3 [Joshua commanded the people saying when you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God and the priest and the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place and go after it.] We must learn to follow after God [Yet there shall be a space between you and it,] at the same time we must step back and allow God to do what he must to bring increase to our lives. The place your in right now may seem uncomfortable maybe even full of trouble but verse 5 says Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you. Today is tomorrow and tomorrow looks alot brighter than yesterday. Celebrate in 2008!

We have heard many times that there is one God who is known by many names. Some call him Yahweh, some call him Jehovah (Yahvah) some call him Jesus (Yehoshua), some call him Budah, some call him Allah. Hold up stop the press, what is his real name? Well let us first establish that God is not a name it is a title.The twentieth century dictionary confirms the pagan origin of the so called name God. It says it was applied to heathen deities; and, later, when the Teutonic peoples were Christianized in the seventh century, the word was elevated to the Christian sense. The English borrowed this name from the Germans, who had borrowed it from the pagans. Between the Teutonic heathens, the Germans, and the English, they maintainted that deity was God. The question is what was his name before 700 A.D. before they called him God ? If the Most High was not called God from the days of the Messiah until 700 A.D., what was his name then ? Isaiah 42:8 says i am Jehovah that is my name; and my glory I will not give to another, nor my praise to graven images. In other words God's name shows identity (Jehovah) self exsisting one.
The Jewish gave him names for what they needed him for provision, peace, healing, etc., but all began with the identifying name Jehovah. In recent times we have heard many say one Lord one Faith by many names, but if the many names cross religious belief the true and living God is not Identified. We must not be fooled into thinking that Buddah, Allah, and Jehovah are the same because they most definately are not. Psa 83:18 says So that men may know that your name is Jehovah, that you alone are the Most High over all the earth. There is no mistake Jehovah is God. Zch14:9 says And the Lord shall be King over all the earth; in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name shall be one. " Praise the name of the Lord forevermore"

| Psm 37:23 says the steps of a good man is ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. There is nothing in Heb. for good, the Heb. for man is geber, a strong man; a mighty man; a conqueror. The idea is that even the most powerful man must be guided and supported by the LORD. God told the Prophet Jerimiah Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jer 1:5 . God also told Joseph in a dream Mary would bring forth a son, and they shall call his name JESUS Yehoshua:. So comes the question is destiny ordained or chosen? We understand first of all that God is sovereign and in control of all things, but God has also given us a will to choose, and that will never be taken away because he wants you to choose his will. Joshua 24:15 says choose you this day whom ye shall serve. Our chioce to serve or not serve determines our destiny. Deut 28:1 says and it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee; If thou shalt is were he has given us choice. His will is preordainded, but our choice has everything to do with the outcome of our future. So to answer the question i must say destiny is chosen. Choose God's will and live your dream, he said in Psm37:4 delight thyself also in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

| The powers that be seek to enforce a new world order that will change the face and order in earth as we know it. God himself has declared to us that his Kingdom shall not only take over every Kingdom, but it will never be destroyed. (Dan 2:44) And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven (Jehovah) shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other peoples, but it shall crush and destroy all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. It is said of many that we are being shuffled like cattle by those in high places. Even though it seems we are on the bottom of the heap, God said Mat 20:16 so the last shall be first and the first shall be last. Psa 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the overflowing of peace. vs12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes on him with his teeth. vs13 The LORD Laughs at him; for he sees that his day is coming. Most of the Churches impatients and failure stems from it's unbelief in a God that can do anything but fail. Psa 37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who walk uprightly. vs15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. Rejoice beloved the victory is ours.
