DANIEL 180: THE POWER OF SEVEN STATEMENTS!

This is what my Redeemer said in the Greek language of the day.

5. διψάω John 19:28
I thirst for, desire earnestly

"I thirst!"

When my Redeemer was taking his last breaths on earth they offered him some vinegar after he said, "I thirst!" This was done to fulfill prophesy and also to show that the world and everything in it is sour compared to a Relationship with my Redeemer.

- He told the people in the Temple to come to Him and He would give them Living Water. Now I realize my life is the Temple of my Redeemer. Now I have access to this Living Water 24/7 instead of just one day per week.

- Now I realize before the Cross we had to go to the Temple to get this Living Water however now the Living Water comes to us through our Redeemer. It is like the physics of H2O to simplify a very complex equation of 3 distinct centers of consciousness acting as One. (I am not trying to minimize my Redeemer to human examples of physics but it may help the reader get more insight into my Redeemer's nature as it did for me). 1x1x1 is 1. H2O is liquid, steam and ice but one same H2O acting as one. This is Incredible because H2O can be a a very simple example of my Redeemer's Living Water as Father, Son and Holy Spirit acting and being One! My Redeemer reminded me of what His servant Joshua said in His Ancient Scrolls, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:" Deu 6:4

- I have come to realize that the world religions cannot give me this Living Water that my Redeemer gives me. He reminded me that with His Living Water I will never thirst again!
"Why is this? Then I was reminded that this is true because of His Spirit that in dwells my life and in fact is One with my Redeemer.

My Redeemer once told me that my life was like a building with no Cornerstone. It was unbalanced to say the least. Every time a Storm would hit my life my foundation became very wobbly. I tried relationships, drugs, alcohol, eastern religion, philosophers, money, prestige, power etc... Nothing would fit the Cornerstone to give me stability. Then my Redeemer promised me that He would fit into the Cornerstone perfectly if I gave Him a shot. He said in His Ancient Scrolls in Psalm 139 that He designed me this way so nothing would fit or fill the gap in the Cornerstone except Him. So after much thought and failure doing it my way I finally gave my Designer a shot. He is so kind because the fact of the matter He was giving me a shot. You see He knew how to communicate with my stubborn mind so He pretended to let me think I was in control.

- My Redeemer was different then all the Religions and things I tried to fill the empty Cornerstone with. My Redeemer was not a one size fits all cookie cutter approach. My Redeemer actually made a Custom Fit Cornerstone just for me. He did this through the compliance and flexibility of His Spirit within me.

- All of the others tried fitting their version of the missing Cornerstone from the outside to inside. However, my Redeemer customized the missing Cornerstone in my life from the inside out. It was like the difference of a physician diagnosing a fractured scull with and without an MRI. The Religions don't use the MRI to diagnose however my Redeemer does. As you know this is a much more accurate way of diagnosing and finding a solution.

After diagnosing the situation my Redeemer sent His Spirit and filled the Cornerstone perfectly with no cracks or leaks. I know this because when the storms of life began to hit my foundation stood with no leaks or cracks in the foundation.

Now I finally realize no other man-made religion could do this for me.

Now I realize I am able to have incredible Power to live the way I was intended to live; in my Redeemer's Image. Now I know I can Conquer all things with His Spirit working in my life making me more like Him every day. His servant Paul once said in the Greek scrolls, "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength!" Phil 4:13

Knowing this I realize that my life is to be the Temple of my Redeemer. He said, "To anyone who thirst let them come to Me and I will give them Living Water" I Must now be that Vessel He uses to give this Living Water to a thirsty world.

Now I know what He meant when He told His friends to be the Salt of the Earth. I am supposed to make people thirsty for Him. Also, as salt is a preservative I am also to be a preservative in my circle of influence to keep His message of Hope Alive!

I also realize I don't have to struggle over guilt and condemnation anymore because I don't have to enter a Temple made with human hands anymore. Now I am the Temple of the Living God! Instead of me entering this man made Temple to meet my Redeemer He actually enters me as His new Temple to Dwell in. Now I know what Nathan the Prophet meant in the Ancient Scrolls when he said to David God is going to make you a Temple. Most think it was Solomon's Temple but my Redeemer assured me Nathan was referring to my Redeemer. His servant John in John's Scroll chapter one, "His Tabernacle/Temple was among us." After my Redeemer gave up His Spirit this Tabernacle/ Temple transferred to those that received Him as He gave them the right to be the children of God. What an amazing thought this is! It is very humbling knowing that the Creator of the Universe believes in me enough to give me this awesome responsibility of having Him live within me.

Now I am free to be who I was designed to be in the first place! Paul said again to Rome in chapter 8, "there is therefore no condemnation to those that are in Christ!"

I Must pass on this Great News of having access to H2O - Living Water 24/7. I Must do this before the sun goes down!
