July 9, 2006 Sunday Service Notes by AJSktrgl

Sunday morning preaching by Mathew Hagee, son of John Hagee:

Galatians 6:14 (New King James Version)

14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. [www.biblegateway.com]

Psalm 118:24 (New King James Version)

24 This is the day the LORD has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it. [www.biblegateway.com]

• As today is the day the Lord has made, I will be made glad in it. I am not worried about the price of gas or the Korean missile crisis.


• However, sin always brings a curse. Adam, Eve, and the land was cursed after they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil


• With sin, there always must be a sacrifice to cover up the sin


• The sacrifice of bulls, lambs, and other animals only covered the sin


• The good news is that the sacrifice of Christ not only covered our sin, but because of his sacrifice the sin is carried away by His blood. As a result, we are new creatures and the place of Christ is where we are made one with God the Father.
  

Colossians 2:14-15 (New King James Version)
14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. [www.biblegateway.com]

• All Demonic forces has been defeated


• God made the Demons and Satan a public spectacle at the cross of Calvary. How?...Before the sacrifice of Christ, all were slaves to sin (therefore slaves of Satan). Satan was mocked by the sacrifice of Christ because with Christ's blood sacrifice, this was the price that Christ paid to purchase us from sin (Satan). With the sacrifice at Calvary, for those who believe, we are no longer slaves to Satan, but are now free.


• Satan's first tactic is doubt


• The Davinci code tries to make you doubt the virgin birth.


• Doubt says...I believe Christ performed all the miracles in the Bible, but He won't do anything for me.


• All things are possible because the Divine book, the Bible is true.


• The following are the major exchanges that took place with Christ:


• Christ paid for all sins. crimson stained, but washed white as snow


• At Calvary, Christ was wounded for me to be healed. With Christ, we have authority to exalt healing over sickness.




Isaiah 53:5 (New King James Version)
5 But 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. [www.biblegateway.com]



• Christ became sin for exchange so we can have his righteousness. He took on my poverty so we can have in abundance of everything. He was rejected so we can be accepted


• Christ took my old man and died with him so that the new man with the God nature can live. (Celebrate the cross because it is a place for divine exchange)


• My freedom was bought and paid for. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. You were bought for a price by Christ at the cross.




• We have so much to celebrate as Christians. God has plans to prosper us. Every joy we know is because of the cross
