crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Jesus' Cross-was to lay

               down his life taking all sin on himself. Our cross is to lay down

               our life to the obedience of Christ. And by his work on the cross

               it empowers us to live a life pleasing to God. The servant is not

               above his master, if you have not taken up your cross you are

               fallen and the cross of Christ is none effect to you. That’s why

               you have no power to live for Jesus. That is why also that many

               are afflicted and cannot be healed. To reject the cross is

               rebellion against Christ and the wrath of God is upon the


               children of disobedience. The way of the cross is the rest of God
               in Christ. To not except it will provoke him to wrath. Hebrews


               3:15-19 while it is said, today if you will hear his voice, harden

               not your hearts, as in the rebellion. For who, when they had

               heard, did rebel? Did not all that came out of Egypt by Moses?

               But With whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with

               them that had sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And

               to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to

               them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in

               because of unbelief. When the children of Israel became

               disobedient to God he sent fiery serpents among them. Moses


               placed a Brazen Serpent in the midst of the people. If they

               looked upon it they would be healed, if not they perished. The

               serpents were the sin of the people destroying them. The Brazen

               Serpent represented Jesus becoming sin and paying for it on the

               cross. The church of Jesus Christ is not an anything goes church.

               It is a church of Holiness and obedience. People that use the
