Christ's final words on the Cross before He released His Spirit were: It Is Finished In nearly two-thousand years, what is the significance of these three omnipotent words in our life today? The answer is everything. All that was planned during the seven days of God's Creation was declared finished four-thousand years later when Jesus hung on a piece of wood, the Cross, at Golgotha. It came full circle from Creation to Cross; God declaring it and the Son fulfilling the plans God had for man. God in the personages of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is for the purpose of giving, serving, protecting, and providing for you. The Father gives, the Son serves, and the Holy Spirit provides. Jesus served the people while on Earth and took our punishment as the Son of Man on the Cross sacrificing Himself, so we could be sanctified. Christ, Son of God, continues to serve you from His throne as King.A relationship with our heavenly Father requires understanding our position in His Son, for the Father has given all things to His Son, and the Son has made all things possible for the Father, so we can go where no man can be without Him. We are righteous in Christ for the Kingdom, and we rest in the work and word of God. God and His Son have finished their work; however, we have a responsibility in receiving what they have appropriated.On the final day of Creation, God sanctified His work and rested, for it was finished. In the final hour on the Cross, Christ proclaimed, it is finished, and died. Everything the Father and the Son have done, Creation to Cross, beginning to end, has been for you.

Fervent Prayer gives insight to the most frequently asked question among Christians today. When we pray and an answer doesn't seem to be forthcoming, what has happened? Rather than accept a humanistic inclination that God is withholding; perhaps, we should turn inward to search the answer. Are we unknowingly blocking His supernatural power from entering our earthen circumstance? God does not withhold His blessings from His children, but has given the keys to His Kingdom to unlock heavenly treasures and receive His promises. And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:19Our heavenly Father knows of our prayer before we utter the first word; therefore, praying is for our benefit showing our position of faith and trust, whereby the one fervent prayer releases Kingdom power. Though righteous in Christ, are we sabotaging our relationship with God? Is our faith based on the law or grace? Is our belief tainted with unbelief? Is our communication a pleading prayer, or one of thanksgiving and praise knowing our answer is provided? These are some of the questions that are answered in Fervent Prayer. In revealing the hinderances that can obstruct receiving, we witness the power of a fervent prayer.The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16
