“But GOD forbid that I should boast except in THE CROSS of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, by Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” Galatians 6:14.

Having zeal without Knowledge (Romans 10:2), many preach and teach, saying: “move beyond THE CROSS!” “JESUS is no longer on THE CROSS!”, etc , thinking it is such a cute, inspiring revelation. But it is a doctrine of demons! It is darkness. Great darkness.

JESUS said: “Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.” (Luke 11:35).

There is light (knowledge/ revelation) that is darkness.

If you don’t depend on THE HOLY SPIRIT in studying and understanding Scripture, the eyes of your understanding will be darkened instead of enlightened, (Ephesians 4:18;1:18). And you will have great darkness in you deceiving you to be light.

As JESUS said, “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matthew 6:22-23).

The eye is your perception, understanding; how you perceive and understand The Truth.

The “move beyond THE CROSS” revelation is great darkness in those who believe and receive it, by bad perception/understanding of The Truth.

Yes, JESUS is no longer on THE CROSS but He is alive with THE CROSS physically evident in His Body. The Holes and Scars in His Hands, Feet and Side from Wounds inflicted by the nails and the spear, FOREVER show THE CROSS! Hallelu-YAH!

Yes, JESUS is no longer on THE CROSS, but He wants us to look at Him believing that He was on THE CROSS:

‘ “Behold My Hands and My Feet, that It is I Myself…” When He had said this, He showed them His Hands and His Feet.’ Luke 24:39-40.

“When He had said this, He showed them His Hands and His Side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw THE LORD.” John 20:20.

Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My Hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My Side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” (John 20:27).

JESUS is both alive and was dead, (Revelation 1:18;2:8).

In fact and in Truth, till He comes, THE LORD commands us to “proclaim” and have THE CROSS in Remembrance of Him by taking The Communion often – thus hold Him in Reverence accordingly:

‘For I received from THE LORD that Which I also delivered to you: that THE LORD JESUS on The Same Night in Which He was betrayed took Bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke It and said, “Take, eat; this is My Body Which is broken for you; do this in Remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took The Cup after Supper, saying, “This Cup is The New Covenant in My BLOOD. This do, as often as you drink It, in Remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat This Bread and drink This Cup, you proclaim THE LORD’s Death till He comes.’ 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.

The Captain of our Salvation commands us to proclaim THE CROSS for His Praise, for our deliverance and prosperity, and for the utter destruction of the enemy.

If you move beyond THE CROSS, you move beyond JESUS Himself Who shows THE CROSS in His Body.

If you move beyond THE CROSS, you move beyond your deliverance and prosperity provided in THE CROSS.

If you move beyond THE CROSS, you move beyond your triumphing over the principalities and powers in THE CROSS, (Colossians 2:14-15).

If you move beyond THE CROSS, you move beyond The Power of GOD, and you will have a form of GODliness without His Power – because THE WORD OF THE CROSS is The Power of GOD.

“For The Message of THE CROSS is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is The Power of GOD.” 1 Corinthians 1:18.

Mistaken and deceived, they say “move beyond THE CROSS”; but Paul says “we preach CHRIST crucified,” (1 Corinthians 1:23).

We preach CHRIST crucified! We preach THE CROSS! We “proclaim THE LORD’s Death till He comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:26).

Like JESUS Himself, our triumphing over the devil and his angels is in THE CROSS, (Colossians 2:13-15). We must NEVER move beyond THE CROSS! Never!

The Bride of CHRIST has mostly moved away from THE CROSS OF CHRIST. And no wonder it is so weak and defeated, taking a battering from the enemy instead of CRUSHING him and his evil camp with THE CROSS.

The Church is currently this weak and defeated because she has moved away from The Power: THE CROSS.

We must CRUSH Satan with THE CROSS! Easily.

We EASILY overcome the great dragon by THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB and by THE WORD of our Testimony (The Sacrifice of CHRIST); (see Revelation 12:11). We must NEVER move beyond THE CROSS!

THE CROSS has delivered us from the claws of the dragon. We must NEVER move beyond THE CROSS!

We have peace with GOD and hope of Eternal Life only because of The Judgment of THE CROSS When our LORD said Thereon: “IT IS FINISHED!“ (John 19:30) — meaning, “PAID IN FULL”. We must NEVER move beyond THE CROSS!

With All Reverence and Great Joy, on Resurrection Morning, JESUS took The Living Eternal Evidence of THE CROSS to THE FATHER: His Body of Holes and Scars as well as His PRECIOUS BLOOD.

“But CHRIST came as High Priest of The Good Things to come, with The Greater and More Perfect Tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His Own BLOOD He entered The Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained Eternal Redemption. For CHRIST has not entered The Holy Places made with hands, which are copies of The True, but into Heaven Itself, now to appear in The Presence of GOD for us;” Hebrews 9:11-12, 24.

“For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that This One also have something to offer.” Hebrews 8:3.

By His “Will we have been sanctified through The Offering of The Body of JESUS CHRIST once for all.” (Hebrews 10:10).

And we have come “to JESUS The Mediator of The New Covenant, and to THE BLOOD of Sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.” (Hebrews 12:24).

You see then that, It is THE CROSS, THE CROSS, and THE CROSS! It is THE CROSS all The Way from Calvary into The Temple of GOD in Heaven.

The Way from Calvary Mountain ends in The Temple of GOD in Heaven Where ALL The Living Eternal Evidence of THE CROSS are situated with POWER: The Body and Blood of THE LORD.

How can you move beyond THE CROSS then? And to where?

If you move beyond THE CROSS, where are you going?

Into deception and destruction!

The Truth is only in THE CROSS — THE WORD OF THE CROSS, (1 Corinthians 1:18). Therefore, if you move beyond THE CROSS, you move below into deception by darkness.

THE CROSS is our All-In-All.

By THE CROSS all things are reconciled by THE FATHER to Himself, having made Peace through THE BLOOD of THE CROSS of His Beloved SON:

“For it pleased THE FATHER that in Him all The Fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in Heaven, having made Peace through THE BLOOD of His CROSS.” Colossians 1:19‭-‬20.

All of The Kingdom of GOD is reconciled through THE CROSS. The Kingdom of GOD is restored and held together by THE CROSS.

By THE CROSS (The Sufferings of CHRIST) is the healing and restoration of every area of our life:

“By His Stripes we are healed”, “By His Stripes you were healed” happens at THE CROSS!

For “…He was Wounded for our transgressions, He was Bruised for our iniquities; The Chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His Stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5).

JESUS “Himself bore our sins in His Own Body on The Tree [THE CROSS], that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by Whose Stripes you were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24).

By Faith and prayer, we literally circulate THE BLOOD OF JESUS in our body – all by THE CROSS: “always carrying about in the body The Dying [The Putting to Death – THE CROSS!] of THE LORD JESUS, that The Life of JESUS also may be manifested in our body.” (2 Corinthians 4:10).

We literally become RICH through THE CROSS!

“For you know The Grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that though He was Rich, yet for your sakes He became Poor [suffered], that you through His Poverty [His Sacrifice] might become rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9.

The deception in the thinking of believers who preach and receive this tragic, themselves-destroying error, separates THE CROSS from The Glorified JESUS in Heaven. But The JESUS Who died is The Same JESUS Who lives.

JESUS both died and rose from the dead. They are two sides of the same coin.

For He “was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.” (Romans 4:25).

THE LORD’s Death and Resurrection are Eternally inseparable.

As He Himself has said repeatedly:

“I AM He Who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” Revelation 1:18.

“These things says the First and the Last, Who was dead, and came to Life” Revelation 2:8

You cannot separate THE CROSS from The Glories that follow, in the same way that you cannot cut and separate one side of a coin from the other.

It is ALWAYS “The Sufferings of CHRIST and The Glories that…follow” (1 Peter 1:11). The Two go together for Release of His Power.

JESUS Himself preached both repeatedly. He did so before He died (Matthew 16:21; 20:17), and continued doing so on The Day He rose from the dead (Luke 24:26,46).

Right from The Day of Pentecost until this death, Peter preached both THE CROSS and The Resurrection of JESUS. Paul likewise did. Stephen and all the other preachers did.

You cannot preach THE CHRIST without THE CROSS.

Without THE CROSS, yes, without THE BLOOD, there is no access to Heaven for one to be seated together with GOD.

Our access to GOD is through THE CROSS; It is by THE BLOOD, “having boldness to enter The Holiest by THE BLOOD OF JESUS, by A New and Living Way Which He consecrated for us, through The Veil, that is, His Flesh,” (Hebrews 10:19-20).

It is exceedingly deceptive and destructive to say “move beyond THE CROSS”! It is persuasive words of human wisdom, inspired by demons to deceive and destroy.

Demons don’t like THE CROSS to be preached at all, because THE CROSS is their OVERPOWERING undoing and violent destruction FOREVER. Indeed, “had they known, they would not have crucified THE LORD OF GLORY” (1 Corinthians 2:8).

Those who believe and preach “move beyond THE CROSS” believe and preach demonic wisdom and invite “worse punishment” to themselves.

“Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled THE SON OF GOD underfoot, counted THE BLOOD of The Covenant by Which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted THE SPIRIT OF GRACE?” Hebrews 10:28-29.

As happened about eight years ago, a very prominent preacher with global fame was killed together with most of his family members when a private jet they were travelling on crashed while approaching the airport.

When the news broke, my response was what JESUS said: “it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.” (Luke 13:33).

A prophet cannot perish in a wrong way. If a prophet perishes in a wrong manner, it must be a consequence of disobedience, (1 Kings 13).

Indeed, I was exceedingly shocked but not surprised when, after the news broke, a sister at church showed me a YouTube video (now deleted) of a ‘message’ he had preached just months earlier.

I cringed with The Fear of THE LORD (and still do) upon watching the video as well as reading the most serious portions of the transcript, like this one:

“Do you know why the people on your job really hate Christians right now? Because you are preaching to them Jesus Christ.

“You don’t be talking about Blood and nails and the spear in His Side, because that’s not what you’re supposed to be talking about. You’ve got to be talking about how to solve people’s problems. …people aren’t worried about no Blood on no Cross. They’re worried about how they’re going to make it through the day.”

If you don’t preach THE CROSS and THE BLOOD, by what then will people be delivered and prospered?

“For you know The Grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that though He was Rich, yet for your sakes He became Poor [suffered], that you through His Poverty [His Sacrifice] might become rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9.

Please be warned and repent: those who believe and teach the doctrine of demons to “move beyond THE CROSS” risk The Wrath of GOD and sudden, devastating destruction.

Our life in CHRIST originated from THE CROSS and is sustained in THE CROSS. We are preserved, protected and provided for through THE CROSS.

If you therefore claim to move beyond THE CROSS, you are deceived and finished. Repent and return immediately to The Truth of THE CROSS.

Remember THE WORDS OF THE LORD JESUS, that He said, “Take heed that no one deceives you.” (Matthew 24:4).

Now and forever, we worship and praise THE LORD JESUS CHRIST for His CROSS, saying: “Worthy is THE LAMB Who was slain to receive Power and Riches and Wisdom, And Strength and Honor and Glory and Blessing!” (Revelation 5:12).

JESUS CHRIST is The Same yesterday, today and forever. And He was “THE LAMB slain from the foundation of the world.” (Revelation 13:8). Then He died on THE CROSS in this age. And His BODY and BLOOD are forever in Heaven. Thus, THE CROSS is yesterday, today and forever.

If you keep THE CROSS you have The Power. If you stay in THE CROSS, you stay in Power, (1 Corinthians 1:18).

If you move beyond THE CROSS, you lose The Power and run on empty, and are careering off into the ditch of destruction, deceived by “persuasive words of human wisdom”, “wisdom of words”, (1 Corinthians 2:4–5;1:17).

NEVER move beyond THE CROSS!

Stay by THE CROSS. Our boast is in THE CROSS. Forever. Hallelu-YAH!

“But GOD forbid that I should boast except in THE CROSS of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, by Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” Galatians 6:14.

Near the Cross

Jesus, keep me near The Cross,
There A Precious Fountain,
Free to all—A healing Stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s Mountain.

Refrain:
In The Cross, in The Cross,
Be my glory ever;
From The Cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.

Near The Cross, a trembling soul,
Love and Mercy found me;
There The Bright and Morning Star
Sheds Its Beams around me.

Near The Cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring Its Scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With Its Shadow o’er me.

Near The Cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior’s Face,
Leave His Presence never.

Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life Which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire. My will is to do His Will.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves. And like Paul, I am “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, the disciple whom JESUS loves and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He [JESUS] became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
