He took your place and my place He who knew no sin, He did no sin

In Him is no sin

Bore the fullness of God's anger

But this time the sacrifice was unlike the sacrifice of the Old Testament

that all point to Him anyway

In the Old Testament there's a story of Elijah

who called fire down from heaven before the prophets of Baal

and he built an altar of twelve stones representing the twelve tribes

and he put his sacrifice on top of the altar

and then he told the people

Put barrels of water Three barrels of water in full

was poured on the sacrifice until the water started overflowing

And then he prayed and God sent fire

And when God sent fire my friend, it consumed everything

Not just the sacrifice even the twelve stones disappeared

Nothing was left Telling us that under law

the judgement was greater than the sacrifice

And when Jesus hung on the cross under grace for you and I

Listen my friend, He absorbed all the judgement of God

All the curse All the condemnation

Stroke after stroke and then He absorbed it all in Himself

and shouted Finished!

Not a drop left And you know what?

He was still alive but the judgement was gone

and then for the first time He looked up and said

Father! He called God Father again

Father! Into Your Hands I commit My Spirit

He put down His head by the way it was a loud voice

the bible says He cried with a loud voice

He put down His head That's power

and then He breathed Dismissed His Spirit

Friend, this time after consuming the judgement

The sacrifice remained

Under grace, the sacrifice is greater than God's judgement

For years now And I'm going to close with this

For years now church

I have seen in the Spirit alright What happened at the Cross

Nothing is more real than Spirit Listen, this is the best part

For years, I saw this in the Spirit

Because Spirit is more real than material things

It's a Spirit, God Himself, that brought out all these material things

Nothing is more real than Spirit

When you see Jesus hanging on the cross

You don't see what's happening in the Spirit

But you have eyes to see One day I was praying many years ago

and I saw this Like a whirlwind

A cyclone in the clouds above Him, gathering momentum

The storm increasing and then it broke over His head

being absorbed in His person and I saw like

Sin, I saw condemnation I saw curse, I saw sickness

all of them just being absorbed into His very person

Like a whirlwind and I told myself

One of these days I'm going to have this kind of

video presentation

To show the people

So I waited and waited and waited for someone else

to do it

Then the movie "The Passion Of The Christ"

One of the best movies ever done and I still think it's the best

But unfortunately right after the movie

I met some people who said "Terrible, what those people

did to Jesus"

They didn't understand what happened in the Spirit

It wasn't what those people did

It was our sins

It's not a matter of getting angry with the Jews

Whether Jew or Gentile we are all sinners

He came for us

It was our sins that put Him on the Cross

So people didn't understand

Some people said "Wah terrible What the Romans did to Him"

Except to see He carried our sins

So I realised that It's not enough just to have a

portrayal, a movie about Jesus

So one day, I told God about this and I felt like

God telling me, "I put it on you to

produce this video presentation"

I said, "God, You give me the resources and I'll do it"

That's been a number of years ago

Guess what?

I've asked my creative team to come up with the video presentation

and they tried their best to translate on video

What I saw in the Spirit So I kept on sending them back

to the drawing board

Because it wasn't satisfying to me

I kept on sending them and in fact I think I've never send

them back so often

Because it must be exactly what I saw

Even the music Even the special effects

that would have taken place during the time of Jesus

I want it to be exact the way I saw it in the spirit So finally they came back to me

after being sent back to the drawing board

And this time I looked at it

I even picked the music because I heard that kind of music

in the Spirit and even the clouds and all that

and they tell me, "Pastor, how is it Pastor?"

Just a few more things that can be improved but I... you must be merciful

So anyway, we came up finally with something that came really close

to what I saw in the Spirit and we have it ready for the first time

ever.

You're the... You people are the first today, to watch it

Before anyone else watches it

Sit back church, let's go back in time

to that day when Jesus hung on the cross

From God, with love

Father, Forgive them

For they know not what they do

(SIN)

(CONDEMNATION)

(CURSE)

(SICKNESS)

(DEATH)

My God, My God Why have You forsaken Me?

Finished!

Father, Into Your Hands

I commit My Spirit

Praise God

My dream fulfilled

I want the world to see

Instead of someone just preaching

See what happened in the Spirit

Friend all that He did

is because of His love for us

The devil out there wants God

to appear in a religious setting

But Christianity is not a religion

Jesus didn't say "I come to give you religion"

I come to give you rules and more rules

He said, "I came to give you life and life more abundantly"

Amen

Some people, they are not happy when you don't

have a cross or you don't wear a robe

or you don't have the trappings of religion

but Jesus didn't come to focus on all these things

He came to make us righteous

You can be righteous by the blood of Jesus

wearing just a T-shirt

Friend He loved you

And that was a demonstration of God's love for you

All that He has done

will be in vain if you don't receive it

See God will never force on you His forgiveness

God will never force on you His love

God will never force on you victory over death

He won't force these things on you

even though He loves you He respects your free choice

But He loves you and He is saying

Come home, come home to love

Come home to forgiveness Come home to victory

If that is you wherever you are that's watching this

You're going to put your trust in Christ

and all that He has done for you

Then pray this prayer with me right now

Every head bowed every eyes closed

Everywhere that's watching this

Say this from your heart

Say, "Heavenly Father

I believe in Your love for me

You loved me even when I rebelled

When I went astray and I didn't care about you

You loved me still

Thank you for the gift of your Son

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

He died on the cross for my sins

He took my place bore my judgement

And died instead of me

And Father I thank you My sins are forgiven

The law is fully completed and fulfilled

The devil is defeated

And Father You are glorified

You are my Lord Jesus now and forever more

In Jesus' name Amen

In the theme of the year This is what God said to me

It's going to be the year of Greater Glory

And that's what the Lord impressed on me really strong

As I was preparing this

to tell you all

All of you have glory, alright but it's a year of manifested glory

Greater glory means people are going to see

the glory in your life

All have sinned and forfeited the glory

which means we come short of the glory

We fall short, we are lacking of the glory

But Jesus came to give us back the glory

I said Jesus came to give us back the glory

And its the year of greater glory

Wow! Praise the Lord

So when darkness comes the bible says

His glory will be seen upon you

The first result Your family is blessed

The second result They will all come, alright,

They will all come to you

Did you hear that? You are blessed this year

No man can reverse it!
