"The Cross Still Stands. The Blood Still Flows. He Is High And Lifted Up."

Reference: Isaiah Chapter 6

Isaiah sees the Lord sitting on the mercy seat.

Let's read.

Isaiah 6:1-3 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. [2] Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. [3] And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."

Today, He sits on the mercy seat. The cross of Christ is the mercy seat of God. It’s from here that the blood flows. One day, the mercy seat will become the judgment seat. When the mercy of the blood of Jesus Christ. is rejected, the judgment of God is the only thing left.

We continue our reading:

Isaiah 6:4-5 "And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. [5] Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."

Isaiah realizes he is in the blood of the first Adam. This is the position of every man or woman born of man.

We continue our reading:

Isaiah 6:6-7 "Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: [7] And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged."

God has placed upon him the iniquities of us all, the iniquity we inherited from the broken blood covenant of the first Adam.

We continue our reading:

Isaiah 6:8 "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."

The same voice is speaking today, asking, "Whom shall I send?" He saves us by cleansing us, drawing us out of the blood of the first Adam into His blood. We leave all the iniquities in the blood of the first Adam. We now become his messengers on earth. Go into all the world and preach the gospel. This is the duty of the man or woman in the blood of this second Adam.

We continue our reading:

Isaiah 6:9-10 "And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. [10] Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed."

 We believe with our heart. We understand with our heart. This is what draws us out of the blood of the first Adam. This is how we are converted. This is how we are healed.
Those who believe are healed from death unto eternal life. Those who believe not are condemned.

We conclude our reading:

Isaiah 6:11-13 "Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, [12] And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. [13] But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."

he has given man every opportunity to exit the blood of the first Adam. Some would hear and exit, but many, unfortunately, would not

I pray today that you exit the blood of the first Adam, BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. He sits on the Mercy seat today, in Christ!
