Thank you for power over the grave. Thank you for your hope of a resurrection!!! Please read the below inspired post with a poem. It talks about the suffering of Jesus and I am sure you will find it VERY touching . Blessings. C

JESUS' PASSION FOR US and link on What Actually Happened When Jesus Was Crucified.

. .

Jesus spent His last days with his twelve beloved disciples in the upper room where together, they would have the Passover meal before his death. He talked to them about how He would die and rise again. Judas was revealed as His betrayer when Jesus said that the person who dipped his bread with His would betray Him. He was sent away to fulfill scriptures which told of the Messiah being betrayed with 30 pieces of silver. True servitude was shown on how it was to be done by Jesus re the kingdom of God. Peter found out that he was going to deny the Savior thrice.
.
Later, after the meal, Peter, James, John and the other seven disciples (all but Judas) would go with Jesus to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. He would be as the olive being pressed for oil, but it was His life that would be pressed out of Him. (Gethsemane means “oil press”.) While He was praying, even His closest disciples fell asleep so He was at that moment feeling alone. Jesus would soon be betrayed by Judas to the Romans because of the jealous religious leaders who wanted Him dead. Christ knew that He would physically suffer greatly and would be abandoned by his friends. Also, He would be taking all sins on Himself, from the beginning of the creation until the end of the world. Jesus was that spotless Lamb of God that was talked about since the fall of Adam and Eve and would be the final sacrifice. As he prayed, all these pressures weighed on Him enough that He started sweating out blood. What burdens He had to bear.
.
That moment finally came that He would be taken away. A detachment of troops with weapons, officers (from the Chief Priests and Pharisees) and Judas came. Jesus was betrayed with a kiss from Judas. He was arrested, bound and taken to the Sanhedrin court for a trial with Annas and then Caiahpas the Jewish high priest which lasted throughout the night. They had false witnesses accuse Him of blasphemy but Jesus was without sin. Along with all the false accusations, our Redeemer was beaten and mocked. Finally He was sentenced to death by them.
.
Early in the morning He was taken to Pontus Pilate by those who captured him. Pontus could find nothing to sentence Jesus with. Pilate sent Jesus to Herod who also found nothing against him. Back to Pilate He went. Pilate washed his hands and said, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person." "You see to it.” Pilate would only have had him whipped but because of the demands of the Jews, He was to be crucified. Along with this terrible scourging, Jesus was ridiculed by the soldiers and beaten some more. The Jews chose a terrible criminal to be freed instead of Him.
.
To overcome the bondage of sin, He had to be crucified and die a horrific death. Satan was soon to find out that he was overcome by the blood of Jesus. (See an excellent description of His death according to a medical perspective, by clicking the title.) The scriptures only tell some of what Jesus suffered for us.
.
Three days later, after being placed in a borrowed tomb, Jesus rose from the dead. He gave mankind a way to be delivered from the spiritual death that was bestowed upon us by the sins of Adam & Eve. He made a way for us to have victory over sin. THANK YOU JESUS!!!

Below is a poem that God gave me re his crucifixion:

JESUS' PASSION FOR US

.

Celebration of Jesus resurrection is here!!!

His passion was sooo clear.

What He did for us makes me tear.

How He suffered without fear,

so that the good news we could hear.

His peoples leaders pulled His beard,

accused Him of sins in His ear.

He was mocked, spit on and a jeer,

by those men He loved dear.

Then Jesus was whipped most severe,

how He was treated, oh how queer.

All He did for us our great seer,

was come to earth to bring good cheer.

More He bled that day for those afar and near,

when soldiers pierced His brow that year.

That thorny crown placed on His head with a sneer,

made his face unrecognizable

 if He looked in a mirror.

A cumbersome cross

He was made to carry, what drear,

to a hill He could barely walk

and would like to veer.

Twas’ so weak, that He was helped

to carry this burden as the people did leer,

and heavily looked forward to nails in feet

and hands the soldiers would steer.

 His wounds externally and internally

to were not as would appear,

to be numbed from the pain so shear.

Until finally death ended his career,

and His ripped up side

was pierced with a spear.

How He suffered by His peer,

how can we not adhere.

We need to get in gear,

and find Jesus, not party and drink beer.

God truly showed His love to us

by delivering our sins arrear,

on that cross that we may to Him draw near.

ROMANS 6:1-12
1) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2) Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
3) Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4) Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5) For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6) knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7) For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8) Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9) knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
10) For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11) Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12) Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13) And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
 .
ROMANS 8:35-39
35) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36) As it is written: “ For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39) nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Cheryl's Healthy Pumpkin Cake

.

The other day, I decided to make my own pumpkin cake and was it ever tasty & moist.

.

Here is my recipe:

.

Preheat oven to 350 F

.
Add the below ingredients as mentioned:
.
Into a large bowl, dump and mix the below dry ingredients.
 .
2 cups of Whole wheat flour (I used some freshly ground flour from a friend)
3/4 cups of raw cane sugar & 1/4 cup of demerra sugar (You could probably use 1 cup of light brown sugar or 1/2 cup of white & 1/2 cup of demerra brown sugar)
1/2 tsp of idodized sea salt
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of powdered ginger
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 cup of sliced almonds
.
Add and mash/cut with pastry blender or a fork until it looks like large flakes of oatmeal: 1/2 cup of soft lard or shortening (I used lard)
.
 Make a hole in the middle of the above when done mashing. Then add and mix in the hole:
 .
2 Large eggs
.
In the 1 cup measuring cup add and mix together:
.
1/2 cup of milk & 1/2 tsp of apple cider vinegar (or you can use regualar vinegar).
.
Pour into the eggs and also add:
.
1 cup of canned pumpkin or unthawed pumpkin you cooked, blended and froze previously (click right here and read the bottom of this linked post on how to do the fresh pumpkin.)
 .
 Stir all the above ingredients together until smooth.
.
 Totally grease inside of a 9 X 9 square glass cake pan or a regular cake pan with shortening, lard or butter and dust all over with flour
.
 Pour batter and bang the pan full of batter a couple of times on your work space to get out any large air bubbles.
.
Put in the middle of a preheated oven and bake for appoximately 35 minutes or until, when poked with a knife or fork the batter does not stick to it (maybe check it after about 30 minutes of baking).
.
Take out of the oven, lightly dust with icing sugar and serve hot or cold with butter or if you like whipping cream on the side. (It should come out of the pan easily so you could flip it onto a plate and serve it like this if you wish.)
.
 Enjoy with tea or coffee.
.
Let me know how it turned out for you.
.
Oh ya, if you don't have pumpkin try using cooked carrots mashed.
