WHEN HE HAD RECEIVED THE DRINK, JESUS SAID, “IT IS FINISHED.”
WITH THAT, HE BOWED HIS HEAD AND GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT.”
JOHN 19:30 NIV ❤

IT IS FINISHED

He said, “It is finished!” And bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.

Who would have thought the words, ‘It is finished’ would be so powerful?

And we’ve actually heard them often.

It is finished! My room’s clean. Can I play my game now?
It is finished! My homework’s done! May I have my phone back now?
It is finished! My dinner’s gone! Can I have dessert?
It is finished! My assignment’s complete. Maybe now I can get a good night’s sleep.
It is finished! My project is ready. And just in the nick of time.
It is finished! The house is finally clean! Whew!
It is finished! The children are out the door! And on time for a change.

But, when Jesus spoke the words, ‘It is finished!’ they ‘were’ the most powerful words ever!

So what exactly was finished?

Jesus life?
His ministry on earth?
The mocking and ridicule?
The frustration?
The torment?
The lack of people’s understanding?

It was all these things and so much more!

Separation from God was finished!

Our failures were finished!

Thanks to the blood of Jesus, sin . . . sin itself was finished!

And, if you’ve accepted Jesus as your savior, your sin is finished! God sees the righteousness of Jesus when He looks at you, not your sin. This can be hard for our human mind to grasp, but, thankfully, it doesn’t take away from the truth of it. 💗

Sin brings so much heartache with it, doesn’t it?

BUT IT IS FINISHED!

Are you struggling with guilt? It is finished!
Are you struggling with shame? It is finished!
Do you fight with unworthiness? It is finished!
Do you feel alone? It is finished!
Do you struggle with heartache, grief, and anxiety? It is finished!
Do you wrestle with depression? It is finished!
Are you battling an addiction? It is finished!
Do you fight with envy, jealousy and comparing yourself with others? It is finished!
Do you feel unloved? It is finished!

Although Jesus’ death doesn’t guarantee a life free from guilt, heartache, grief and sadness, it does make a way to get through the difficult times.💗

And please know it’s not my intention to lead you astray by making you believe the way you feel will automatically disappear. Our walk with Jesus is an ongoing process. Sometimes things just take time.

However, I do pray from now on each time you hear the words, ‘It is finished!’ you will remember Jesus died for all of it:

For instance … guilt, shame, unworthiness, sadness, depression, addictions, loneliness, feeling unloved, all of it!

Therefore, when (not if) these feelings come against you, you can address each one head on by speaking out loud,”Unworthiness … because of Jesus, you are finished!!” “Depression … you are finished!!” “Feeling unloved … you are finished!!”💗

Sin, death and the powers of the world were defeated!

Once for all.

“Once” is the keyword here. Jesus didn’t have to die over and over and over.

Above all, He died once and once was enough.💗

Jesus sincerely loves you just the way you are. We can cast our burdens onto him. He overcame the world just for YOU.

Additionally, if you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Savior, you can right now. This very moment in the comfort of your home, in your car, at work, out hiking or jogging, grocery shopping.  Anywhere! It’s not a tricky thing.

You don’t have to have someone praying with you. It’s between you and God.

Right now, you can stop what you are doing and acknowledge you believe Jesus is the son of God, He died on the cross and shed His blood for you and your sin and rose again. Then ask Him to be the Lord of your life.

It’s such a wonderful, freeing experience.💗

But if you prefer to have someone pray with you, absolutely we are here for you. It’s our heart’s desire to pray with you. I just don’t want  your prayer of salvation to be hindered because you think someone HAS to pray with you.

Then after saying the prayer, please let us know, so we can continue to pray for you. We would love that! 💗
Also, call someone and tell them. . . maybe a family member or friend who has been praying for you? We need each other in our walk with Christ.

With much love,

❤
