Praise God! may God send this message forth even more, here is an excerpt. Its hard to grasp the burden and with what power he speaks this word, one must listen to get this in full. [i]Why should a person come to the cross? Why should a person embrace death with Christ? Why should a person be willing to go, in identification, down to the cross and into the tomb and up again? Ill tell you why because its the only way that God can get glory out of human being! If you say its because hell get joy or peace or blessing or success or fame then its nothing but a Levite serving for ten shekels and a shirt. There is only one reason for you to go to the Cross, dear young person and thats because until you come to the place of union with Christ in death, you are defrauding the Son of God of the glory that He could get out of your life. For no flesh shall glory in His sight. And until youve understood the sanctifying work of God by the Holy Ghost taking you into union with Christ in death and burial and resurrection, you have to serve in what you have and all you have which is under the sentence of death: human personality, and human nature, and human strength, and human energy. And God will get no glory out of that! So the reason for you to go to the cross isnt that youre going to get victory you will get victory. It isnt that youre going to have joy you will have joy. But the reason for you to embrace the cross and press through until you know that you can testify with Paul, "I am crucified with Christ.." (Galatians 2:20) It isnt what youre going to get out of it, but what Hell get out of it, for the glory of God. By the same token, why arent you pressed through to know the fullness of the Holy Spirit? Why arent you pressed through to know the fullness of Christ? Ill tell you why Because the only possible way that Jesus Christ will get glory out of a life that Hes redeemed with His precious blood, is when He can fill that life with His presence and live through it his own life.[/i]
